+Added: (1) Transient keys rented exclude those occupied through the use of plus points and preview stays.

Financing propensity 52% 37%
+Added: Financing revenues decreased due to a $206 million decrease in the average net vacation ownership notes receivable balance resulting from the continued pay-down of the existing vacation ownership notes receivable portfolio without a corresponding increase from new loan originations ($11 million), offset partially by higher interest income from the acquisition of Welk ($10 million).
+Added: As contract sales volumes continue to grow throughout 2021, we expect that this growth should begin to more than offset the normal decline from loan payment activity, which would cause interest income to begin to increase again.
+Added: Financing expenses decreased due to lower bad debt expense associated with acquired vacation ownership notes receivable and favorable lien fee income in the current year quarter, offset partially by $1 million of higher costs from the acquisition of Welk.
+Added: Lower consumer financing interest expense resulted from the continued pay-down of securitized debt balances, offset partially by $1 million of costs from the acquisition of Welk.
+Added: The higher financing propensity reflects a higher mix of sales to first time buyers, who tend to have a higher financing propensity.
+Added: The low propensity in the prior year reflected the impact of sales programs that incented cash purchases during the initial periods of the COVID-19 pandemic.
+Added: Going forward, we expect to continue to shift back to an increased focus on sales to first-time buyers, which should increase propensity (60 percent or higher) and increase interest income as and when new originations of vacation ownership notes receivable outpace the decline in principal of existing vacation ownership notes receivable.
