In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013).
−Removed: Based on our assessment, management concluded that a material weakness exists in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting at Dakota Holdings, Inc.
−Removed: (“Diamond”), which the Company acquired on August 2, 2021.
+Added: The scope of our efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act with respect to 2023 included all of our operations other than those of BRE Grand Islander Parent LLC which we acquired in 2023 as described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
+Added: In accordance with the SEC’s published guidance, because we acquired these operations during the year, we excluded these operations from our efforts to comply with Section 404 with respect to 2023.
+Added: The acquired operations of BRE Grand Islander Parent LLC constituted approximately 3.7% of total assets as of December 31, 2023 and 0.1% and 0.7% of revenues and income before income taxes, respectively, for the year then ended.
+Added: The SEC’s published guidance specifies that the period in which management may omit an assessment of an acquired business’s internal control over financial reporting from its assessment of the Company’s internal control may not extend beyond one year from the date of acquisition.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements could occur but will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
−Removed: Prior to 2022, Diamond, which was acquired on August 2, 2021, was not included in our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules provide companies one year to assess controls at an acquired entity.
−Removed: Accordingly, within this period, we performed our first comprehensive assessment of the design and effectiveness of internal controls at Diamond, which was not a reporting company pursuant to the Exchange Act, at the time of the acquisition and therefore not subject to the same requirements with respect to internal controls as the Company.
−Removed: As a result of this assessment, we determined that Diamond’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2022.
−Removed: Specifically, Diamond did not adequately identify, design and implement the process-level controls for its significant processes that are necessary for compliance with the requirements for reporting companies, and Diamond did not have appropriate information technology controls for its information technology systems or such controls did not operate for a sufficient period of time prior to the assessment date.
−Removed: These deficiencies neither pertained to, nor impacted, any of the processes, controls or procedures related to the historical business of the Company outside of Diamond.
−Removed: Additionally, there were no identified material misstatements to our current year financial statements, no restatements of prior period financial statements and no changes in previously released financial results required as the result of these control deficiencies.
+Added: Based on our assessment, management concluded that a material weakness existed in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 due to deficiencies arising out of ineffectively designed general information technology controls over user access for an IT application used to initiate revenue and inventory transactions.
+Added: As a result, process-level automated controls and manual controls that are dependent on the completeness and accuracy of information derived from the affected IT application were also ineffective.
+Added: There were no identified material misstatements to our current year financial statements, no restatements of prior period financial statements and no changes in previously released financial results required as the result of these control deficiencies.

−Removed: Changes in estimates within the relative sales value calculations are accounted for as cost of sales true-ups and are included in cost of VOI sales in the consolidated statements of operations to retrospectively adjust the margin previously recognized subject to those estimates.
−Removed: Auditing management’s application of the relative sales value method for Legacy-HGV and Legacy-Diamond sales was complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation uncertainty in determining the significant assumptions required to apply the method, including future VOI sales prices, timing and volume of VOI sales, and provisions for financing receivables losses on financed sales of VOIs.
+Added: Changes in estimates within the relative sales value calculations are recognized on a retrospective basis through corresponding adjustments to inventory and cost of sales in the period in which the estimates are revised.
+Added: Auditing management’s application of the relative sales value method for sales was complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation uncertainty in determining the significant assumptions required to apply the method, including future VOI sales prices, timing and volume of VOI sales, and provisions for financing receivables losses on financed sales of VOIs.

−Removed: As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company records an estimate of variable consideration due to uncollectibles as a reduction of revenue from VOI sales at the time revenue is recognized on a VOI sale.
−Removed: The Company uses a technique referred to as static pool analysis as the basis for determining the default rates that are used to estimate variable consideration and allowance for financing receivables.
−Removed: The estimates of the variable consideration are based on default rates that are an output of the Legacy-HGV and Legacy-Diamond static pools and consider current and future economic and market conditions.
−Removed: Auditing the Legacy-HGV and Legacy-Diamond allowance for financing receivables was challenging and required additional audit effort due to the complex nature of the static pool analysis and the high volume of data which is utilized in applying the static pool analysis.
−Removed: The estimate also required judgment in evaluating management’s conclusions regarding which historical default rates most appropriately reflect the current and future market conditions.
−Removed: How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Legacy-HGV allowance for financing receivables process, including controls over management’s review of the static pool analysis and data utilized in the static pool analysis.

+Added: Description of the Matter At December 31, 2023, the Company’s allowance for financing receivables losses was $779 million.
+Added: As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company estimates the variable consideration to be received from financed VOI sales and recognizes revenue net of amounts deemed uncollectible as the VOI is returned to inventory upon customer default.
+Added: Variable consideration which has not been included within the transaction price is presented as a reserve on the financing receivable.
+Added: The Company uses a technique referred to as the static pool analysis as the basis for determining the default rates that are used to estimate variable consideration and the allowance for financing receivables losses.
+Added: The static pool analysis uses default rate information accumulated from several years of historical loan data to estimate future expected defaults on the outstanding financing receivables.
+Added: The reasonableness of the static pool analysis is evaluated by management in light of current and future economic and market conditions.
+Added: Auditing the allowance for financing receivables losses was challenging and required additional audit effort due to the high volume of data that is utilized in applying the static pool analysis.
+Added: Additionally, the allowance for financing receivables losses is sensitive to changes in the estimated default rates given the size of the outstanding timeshare financing receivable balance as of year-end.
+Added: How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit To test the allowance for financing receivables, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing the methodology discussed above, and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by the Company in its analyses.
