2020 Compared to 2019
−Removed: Excluding the impact of the ILG Acquisition, sale of vacation ownership products revenue increased $22 million , driven by the increase in contract sales in 2019 , partially offset by an unfavorable year-over-year change in revenue reportability and a higher sales reserve.
−Removed: Revenue reportability had a negative impact in 2019 due to an increase in unclosed contracts during the year while 2018 was positively impacted by a decrease in unclosed contracts during the year.
−Removed: The higher Legacy-MVW sales reserve reflected a higher required reserve due to higher default activity as compared to the prior year.
+Added: Sale of vacation ownership products decreased $808 million due primarily to $852 million of lower consolidated contract sales volumes, net of resales, and $17 million of higher sales reserve activity, partially offset by a $66 million favorable change in revenue reportability.
+Added: The lower contract sales performance as well as the higher sales reserve activity were primarily due to the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
+Added: Contract sales and VPG as of March 13, 2020 were 10 percent and 11 percent higher, respectively, than the same period during the first quarter of 2019.

+Added: We reopened eight sales centers in the second quarter and continued to reopen sales centers throughout the remainder of the year.
+Added: At the end of 2020, over 80 percent of our sales centers were open, with the exception of sales centers in Kauai, Hawaii and in California that reopened but closed again in December 2020 due to government restrictions, as well as a handful of our smaller urban sales centers.
+Added: The higher sales reserve recorded in 2020 reflected an estimate of higher estimated default activity related primarily to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, offset partially by the impact of lower contract sales in 2020.
+Added: We will continue to evaluate our estimate of future default activity and compare it to actual default activity, and may adjust our sales reserve based on changes in actual default activity and other factors, as necessary.
+Added: Revenue reportability was significantly higher in 2020 as a result of contract sales late in the fourth quarter of 2019 that we recognized as revenue in 2020.
+Added: However, this shift of revenues from sales in late 2019 to early 2020 was not fully offset by the shift of revenues from sales late in the fourth quarter of 2020 into 2021, given the lower sales volumes in December 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
