Business Overview
We are a leading global vacation company that offers vacation ownership, exchange, rental and resort and property management, along with related businesses, products and services. Our business operates in two reportable segments: Vacation Ownership and Exchange & Third-Party Management.
Our Vacation Ownership segment includes a diverse portfolio of resorts that includes some of the world’s most iconic brands licensed under exclusive long-term relationships. We are the exclusive worldwide developer, marketer, seller and manager of vacation ownership and related products under the Marriott Vacation Club, Grand Residences by Marriott, Sheraton Vacation Club, Westin Vacation Club and Hyatt Residence Club brands, as well as under Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, an extension to the Marriott Vacation Club brand. We are also the exclusive worldwide developer, marketer and seller of vacation ownership and related products under The Ritz-Carlton Club brand, we have the non-exclusive right to develop, market and sell whole ownership residential products under The Ritz-Carlton Residences brand and we have a license to use the St. Regis brand for specified fractional ownership resorts.
Our Vacation Ownership segment generates most of its revenues from four primary sources: selling vacation ownership products; managing vacation ownership resorts, clubs and owners’ associations; financing consumer purchases of vacation ownership products; and renting vacation ownership inventory.
Our Exchange & Third-Party Management segment includes an exchange network and membership programs, as well as the provision of management services to other resorts and lodging properties. Exchange & Third-Party Management revenue generally is fee-based and derived from membership, exchange and rental transactions, property and owners’ association management, and other related products and services. Since May 2022, we provide these services through our Interval International and Aqua-Aston businesses. In April 2022, we disposed of VRI Americas after determining that the business was not a core component of our future growth strategy and operating model. This business was a component of our Exchange & Third-Party Management segment through the date of the sale.
Corporate and other represents that portion of our results that are not allocable to our segments, including those relating to consolidated property owners’ associations (“Consolidated Property Owners’ Associations”).
Integration of Marriott-, Sheraton- and Westin- Branded Vacation Ownership Products
In 2016, Marriott International purchased Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Inc., which at the time exclusively licensed the Sheraton and Westin vacation ownership brands to Legacy-ILG. Part of the rationale for our acquisition of ILG in 2018 was to achieve operating efficiencies and business growth by leveraging the brands then licensed by Marriott International and its subsidiaries to us and to ILG. In August 2022, we launched Abound by Marriott Vacations, a new owner benefit and exchange program which affiliates the Marriott, Sheraton and Westin vacation ownership brands to offer similar benefits to owners of our products under these brands. Under this program, owners of Marriott-, Sheraton- and Westin-branded VOIs can access over 90 resorts under the Marriott Vacation Club, Sheraton Vacation Club and Westin Vacation Club brands using a common currency. The program also harmonizes fee structures and owner benefit levels and has allowed us to transition most of our Legacy-ILG sales galleries to sell our Marriott Vacation Club Destinations product. Further, in late 2022, we added certain Sheraton- and Westin- branded VOIs to the Marriott Vacation Club Destinations product.
We recognize revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products (also referred to as VOIs) when control of the vacation ownership product is transferred to the customer and the transaction price is deemed collectible. Based upon the different terms of our contracts with the customer and business practices, control of the vacation ownership product has historically transferred to the customer at different points in time for each brand of VOIs. In the third quarter of 2022, we aligned our business practices and contract terms, resulting in the prospective change in the timing of the transfer of control to the customer for Marriott-branded VOIs. Prior to these changes, control transfer occurred at closing for

Marriott-branded vacation ownership products. Subsequent to this alignment, transfer of control of Marriott-branded vacation ownership products occurs at expiration of the statutory rescission period, consistent with the historical timing of Sheraton-, Westin- and Hyatt- branded transactions. Marriott-branded VOI sales contracts executed prior to these modifications have been accounted for with transfer of control of the VOI occurring at closing. Control transfer for Legacy-Welk VOIs continues to occur at closing.
As a result of the unification of our Marriott-, Sheraton- and Westin- branded vacation ownership products under the Abound by Marriott Vacations program and stabilization of default rates following the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the third quarter of 2022, we combined and aligned our reserve methodology for vacation ownership notes receivable for our Marriott, Sheraton and Westin brands.
Performance Measures
We measure operating performance using the key metrics described below:
• Contract sales from the sale of vacation ownership products, which consists of the total amount of vacation ownership product sales under contracts signed during the period where we have generally received a down payment of at least ten percent of the contract price, reduced by actual rescissions during the period, inclusive of contracts associated with sales of vacation ownership products on behalf of third parties, which we refer to as “resales contract sales.” In circumstances where customers apply any or all of their existing ownership interests as part of the purchase price for additional interests, we include only the incremental value purchased as contract sales. Contract sales differ from revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products that we report on our income statements due to the requirements for revenue recognition described above and adjustments for sales incentives that will not be recognized as Sale of vacation ownership products revenue and other adjustments to Sale of vacation ownership products revenue. We consider contract sales to be an important operating measure because it reflects the pace of sales in our business.
• Total contract sales include contract sales from the sale of vacation ownership products including non-consolidated joint ventures.
• Consolidated contract sales exclude contracts sales from the sale of vacation ownership products for non-consolidated joint ventures.
• Volume per guest (“VPG”) is calculated by dividing consolidated vacation ownership contract sales, excluding fractional sales, telesales, resales, and other sales that are not attributed to a tour at a sales location, by the number of tours at sales locations in a given period. We believe that this operating metric is valuable in evaluating the effectiveness of the sales process as it combines the impact of average contract price with the number of touring guests who make a purchase.
• Development profit margin is calculated by dividing Development profit by revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products. We refer to revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products less the cost of vacation ownership products and marketing and sales costs as Development profit. We believe that Development profit margin is an important measure of the profitability of our development and subsequent marketing and sales of VOIs.
• Total active members is the number of Interval International network active members at the end of the applicable period. We consider active members to be an important metric because it represents the population of owners eligible to book transactions using the Interval International network.
• Average revenue per member is calculated by dividing membership fee revenue, transaction revenue, rental revenue, and other member revenue for the Interval International network by the monthly weighted average number of Interval International network active members during the applicable period. We believe this metric is valuable in measuring the overall engagement of our Interval International network active members.
• Segment financial results attributable to common shareholders represents revenues less expenses directly attributable to each applicable reportable business segment (Vacation Ownership and Exchange & Third-Party Management). We consider this measure to be important in evaluating the performance of our reportable business segments. See Footnote 16 “Business Segments” to our Financial Statements for further information on our reportable business segments.

Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA, a financial measure that is not prescribed by GAAP, is defined as earnings, or net income or loss attributable to common shareholders, before interest expense, net (excluding consumer financing interest expense associated with term securitization transactions), income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA reflects additional adjustments for certain items, and excludes share-based compensation expense to address considerable variability among companies in recording compensation expense because companies use share-based payment awards differently, both in the type and quantity of awards granted. For purposes of our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations, we do not adjust for consumer financing interest expense associated with term securitization transactions because we consider it to be an operating expense of our business. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance, which we use to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, expand our business, and return cash to shareholders. We also use Adjusted EBITDA, as do analysts, lenders, investors, and others, because this measure excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provisions for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA also exclude depreciation and amortization because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful as an indicator of operating performance because it allows for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of the excluded items. Adjusted EBITDA also facilitates comparison by us, analysts, investors, and others of results from our on-going core operations before the impact of these items with results from other companies.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do or may not calculate them at all, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. The table below shows our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculation and reconciles these measures with Net income attributable to common shareholders, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Contract sales in the 2023 second quarter declined, despite tour growth of 4%, due to a 14% decrease in VPG. The decline in VPG was attributed to lower closing efficiencies due to the continued transition associated with the launch of Abound by Marriott Vacations (which commenced in the 2022 third quarter) and the continued integration of the Hyatt and Legacy-Welk business models and sales processes. We expect contract sales for the remainder of 2023 to exceed 2022 results.
Financing propensity was 56% in the second quarter of 2023, a 300 basis point increase over the second quarter of 2022. We expect to continue offering financing incentive programs in 2023. The average FICO score of customers who were U.S. citizens or residents who financed a vacation ownership purchase was 736 and 735 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.
The increase in the sales reserve as a percentage of Consolidated contract sales, net of resales is attributed to $11 million of defaults in excess of expected losses (220 basis points), higher financing propensity and reportability (80 basis points), and an increase in our reserve rate (25 basis points), partially offset by a decrease in Legacy-Welk sales, which carry a higher reserve on originated vacation ownership notes receivable (65 basis points). Defaults in excess of expected losses have been reserved as if they are permanent differences, as opposed to an acceleration in timing of defaults.

Contract sales in the first half of 2023 declined, despite tour growth of 10%, due to an 11% decrease in VPG. The decline in VPG was attributed to lower closing efficiencies due to the continued transition associated with the launch of Abound by Marriott Vacations (which commenced in the 2022 third quarter) and the continued integration of the Hyatt and Legacy-Welk business models and sales processes.
Financing propensity was 55% in the first half of 2023, a 300 basis point increase over the first half of 2022. We expect to continue offering financing incentive programs in 2023.

These decreases were partially offset by $5 million of higher plus points revenue and a $2 million reduction in rental costs recorded as marketing and sales expense for increased marketing purposes. In addition to these variances, there was a $16 million higher net down of rental revenues and expense in the 2023 second quarter associated with unsold VOIs that are registered and held for sale.

Financing Revenues, Expenses and Profit

Financing profit $ 55 $ 49 $ 6 13%
Financing profit margin 69.1% 67.7% 1.4 pts
Financing propensity 56.2% 53.1%
Financing revenues reflect $9 million of higher interest income as a result of a higher average notes receivable balance partially offset by $1 million of lower plus point financing incentive costs. The higher average notes receivable balance was the result of new loan originations in excess of the pay-down of existing vacation ownership notes receivable. We expect the average notes receivable balance, and resulting interest income, to continue to increase during the remainder of 2023 as a result of the expected growth in contract sales and related loan originations. In the second quarter of 2023, we recorded a $3 million reduction in the reserve for acquired vacation ownership notes receivable as an offset to financing expenses. Excluding this adjustment, financing expenses decreased $2 million due to the timing of lien fee income recognition.
The increase in consumer financing interest expense is attributable to the higher average securitized debt at a higher average interest rate for the more recent term securitization transactions. We expect consumer financing interest expense to continue to remain elevated over our average outstanding interest rates on existing securitization transactions as a result of rising interest rates for the remainder of 2023. We do not adjust interest rates on consumer financing offerings at the same pace as, or in lock-step with, broader market interest rates; thus we expect our financing profit margin to continue to decrease in 2023, as we repay existing securitization transactions with lower interest rates and enter into new securitization transactions with higher interest rates.

This was partially offset by $8 million of lower interest expense associated with the early redemption of our senior secured notes, $4 million of lower interest on non-income tax related items and $2 million of interest income.

Our effective tax rate was 35.4% and 24.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 is predominately attributable to a decrease in Income before income taxes and noncontrolling interests, including foreign gains from the sale of a hotel in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (see Footnote 3 “Acquisitions and Dispositions” for more information on this disposition) in the three months ending June 30, 2022 (725 basis points) and a net increase in discrete items of 385 basis points, including a decrease in favorable foreign return to provision income tax adjustments and a decrease in our share-based compensation benefit, partially offset by a net decrease in the reserve for foreign uncertain tax benefits.

Our interim effective tax rate was 33.9% and 28.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is predominately attributable to a net increase in discrete items (485 basis points), including a net increase in the reserve for foreign uncertain tax benefits which we believe are fully indemnified.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Typically, our capital needs are supported by cash on hand, cash generated from operations, our ability to access funds under the Warehouse Credit Facility and the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility, our ability to raise capital through securitizations in the ABS market, and, to the extent necessary, our ability to issue new debt and refinance existing debt. We believe these sources of capital will be adequate to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, finance our long-term growth plans, satisfy debt service requirements, fulfill other cash requirements, and return capital to shareholders. We continuously monitor the capital markets to evaluate the effect that changes in market conditions may have on our ability to fund our liquidity needs.
Our corporate debt, net of cash and equivalents, to Adjusted EBITDA ratio was 3.1 at June 30, 2023, roughly in-line with our targeted leverage range of 2.5x to 3.0x. We have no material maturities of corporate debt until 2025.
At the end of the second quarter of 2023, the interest rate applicable to approximately 90% of our total corporate debt, excluding finance leases and including the impact of interest rate hedges, was effectively fixed. The weighted average interest rate of our total corporate debt, excluding finance leases and including the impact of interest rate hedges, was 3.6% as of June 30, 2023.
Sources of Liquidity
Cash from Operations
Our primary sources of funds from operations are (1) cash sales and down payments on financed sales, (2) cash from our financing operations, including principal and interest payments received on outstanding vacation ownership notes receivable, (3) cash from fee-based membership, exchange and rental transactions, and (4) net cash generated from our rental and resort management and other services operations.
Vacation Ownership Notes Receivable Securitizations
We periodically securitize, without recourse, through bankruptcy remote special purpose entities, the majority of the notes receivable originated in connection with the sale of vacation ownership products to institutional investors in the ABS term securitization market. These vacation ownership notes receivable securitizations provide liquidity for general corporate purposes. In a vacation ownership notes receivable term securitization, several classes of debt securities issued by a special purpose entity are generally collateralized by a single tranche of transferred assets, which consist of vacation

ownership notes receivable. In connection with each vacation ownership notes receivable securitization, we may retain all or a portion of the securities that are issued. Typically, we receive cash at inception of the term securitization transaction for the amount of notes issued less fees and monies held in reserve and we receive cash during the life of the transaction in amounts reflecting the excess spread of interest received on the related vacation ownership notes receivable less the interest payable on the ABS securities, less administrative fees and amounts from related vacation ownership notes receivable that default.
Each of the securitized vacation ownership notes receivable transactions contains various triggers relating to the performance of the underlying vacation ownership notes receivable. If a pool of securitized vacation ownership notes receivable fails to perform within the pool’s parameters (default or delinquency thresholds vary by transaction), transaction provisions effectively redirect the monthly excess spread of interest accruing on the related vacation ownership notes receivable less the interest accruing on the ABS securities and fees we would otherwise receive from that pool (attributable to the interests we retained) to accelerate the principal payments to investors (taking into account the subordination of the different tranches to the extent there are multiple tranches) until the performance trigger is cured. During the second quarter of 2023, and as of June 30, 2023, we had 14 term securitization transactions outstanding, all of which were in compliance with their respective required parameters. Since 2000, we have issued almost $8.5 billion of debt securities in securitization transactions in the term ABS market, excluding amounts securitized through warehouse credit facilities or private bank transactions.
On an ongoing basis, we have the ability to use our Warehouse Credit Facility to securitize, on a revolving non-recourse basis, eligible consumer loans derived from certain vacation ownership sales. Those loans may later be transferred to term securitization transactions in the ABS market, which typically occur twice a year. During the second quarter of 2023, we amended certain agreements associated with our Warehouse Credit Facility, which increased the borrowing capacity of the existing facility from $425 million to $500 million and extended the revolving period from July 28, 2024 to May 31, 2025. At June 30, 2023, we had $189 million of borrowings outstanding on our Warehouse Credit Facility.
As of June 30, 2023, $59 million of gross vacation ownership notes receivable were eligible for securitization.
Revolving Corporate Credit Facility
Our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility, which expires on March 31, 2027, provides for up to $750 million of aggregate borrowings for general corporate needs, including working capital, capital expenditures, letters of credit, and acquisitions. At June 30, 2023, $65 million of borrowings were outstanding on our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility, and $1 million of le tters of credit were outstanding.
Redemption of Senior Secured Notes
During the first quarter of 2023, we redeemed, prior to maturity, the remaining $250 million of the 2025 Notes outstanding pursuant to a redemption notice issued in the fourth quarter of 2022 and the terms of the indenture governing the 2025 Notes. In connection with this redemption, we incurred charges of $10 million, including a redemption premium and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, which were recorded in Gains and other income, net on our Income Statement for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Uses of Cash
We minimize our working capital needs through cash management, strict credit-granting policies, and disciplined collection efforts. Our working capital needs fluctuate throughout the year given the timing of annual maintenance fees on unsold inventory we pay to owners’ associations and certain annual compensation-related outflows. In addition, our cash from operations varies due to the timing of repayment by owners of vacation ownership notes receivable, the closing or recording of sales contracts for vacation ownership products, financing propensity, and cash outlays for inventory acquisitions and development.
Cash and cash equivalents on hand at June 30, 2023 totaled $242 million, a decrease of $282 million from December 31, 2022, primarily reflecting the redemption of senior notes of $250 million, the repurchase of common stock of $162 million, payment of dividends of $80 million, capital expenditures for property and equipment (excluding inventory) of $63 million, $10 million for payment of withholding taxes on vesting of restricted stock units, and $10 million of other uses of cash, partially offset by $119 million associated with net cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities, new borrowings in excess of repayments of securitized debt of $92 million, other debt borrowings in excess of repayments of $59 million, $14 million of proceeds from dispositions of real property, $8 million of finance lease incentives in excess of payments, and $1 million due to the effect of changes in exchange rates.

Seasonality
Our cash flow from operations fluctuates during the year due to the timing of certain receipts and contractual and compensation-related payments. Significant changes in cash flow can result from the timing of our collection of maintenance fees, club dues, and other customer payments, which typically occur in either the fourth quarter or the first quarter of each year. Generally, cash outflows related to our payment of maintenance fees associated with unsold inventory occurs in the fourth quarter for our points-based products, and in the first quarter for our weeks-based products. In addition, during the first quarter of each year we generally have significant compensation-related cash outflows associated with payment of annual bonuses.
Operations
In addition to net income or loss and adjustments for non-cash items, the following are key drivers of our cash flow from operating activities:
Inventory Spending Less Than Cost of Sales

($ in millions) June 30, 2023 June 30, 2022
Inventory spending $ (49) $ (92)
Purchase of vacation ownership units for future transfer to inventory — (12)
Inventory costs 98 118
Inventory spending less than cost of sales $ 49 $ 14
Although we have significant excess inventory on hand, we intend to continue selectively pursuing growth opportunities by targeting high-quality inventory that allows us to add desirable new destinations to our systems with new on-site sales locations. Where possible, we will structure transactions that limit our up-front capital investment and allow us to purchase finished inventory closer to the time it is needed for sale. These capital efficient vacation ownership transaction structures may consist of the development of new inventory, or the conversion of previously built units, by third parties. In addition, we may develop inventory in key markets where opportunities generate acceptable risk adjusted returns.
Through our existing VOI repurchase program, we proactively acquire previously sold VOIs from owners’ associations and individual owners at lower costs than would be required to develop new inventory. Among other reasons, by repurchasing inventory, we expect to be able to help stabilize the future cost of our vacation ownership products.
Our spending for real estate inventory in the first half of 2023 was lower than cost of sales and was primarily related to our VOI repurchase programs. We expect inventory spending to be less than cost of sales for 2023.
Vacation Ownership Notes Receivable Collections Less Than Originations
Six Months Ended
($ in millions) June 30, 2023 June 30, 2022
Vacation ownership notes receivable collections — non-securitized $ 90 $ 133
Vacation ownership notes receivable collections — securitized 218 232
Vacation ownership notes receivable originations (470) (483)
Vacation ownership notes receivable collections less than originations $ (162) $ (118)
Vacation ownership notes receivable collections were less than originations in each of the first halves of 2023 and 2022 due to the growth of the average vacation ownership notes receivable pool attributed to sales of VOIs.

Payment of Dividends to Common Shareholders
We distributed cash dividends to holders of common stock during the first half of 2023 as follows:
Declaration Date Shareholder Record Date Distribution Date Dividend per Share
December 1, 2022 December 22, 2022 January 5, 2023 $0.72
February 16, 2023 March 2, 2023 March 16, 2023 $0.72
May 11, 2023 May 25, 2023 June 8, 2023 $0.72
We currently expect to pay quarterly dividends in the future, but any future dividend payments will be subject to Board of Directors approval, which will depend on our financial condition, results of operations and capital requirements, as well as applicable law, regulatory constraints, industry practice, and other business considerations that our Board of Directors considers relevant. In addition, our Corporate Credit Facility and the indentures governing our senior notes contain restrictions on our ability to pay dividends, and the terms of agreements governing debt that we may incur in the future may also limit or prohibit the payment of dividends. The payment of certain cash dividends may also result in an adjustment to the conversion rate of our convertible notes in a manner adverse to us. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will pay dividends in the future at any particular rate or at all.

(2) Payments based on estimated timing of cash flow associated with securitized notes receivable.
(3) Arrangements are considered purchase obligations if a contract specifies all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, a pricing structure, and approximate timing of the transaction. Amounts reflected herein represent expected funding under such contracts. Amounts reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as accounts payable and accrued liabilities are excluded from the table above.
(4) Includes interest.
(5) The lease term of the finance lease arrangement for our new global headquarters office building located in Orlando, Florida commenced for accounting purposes during the first quarter of 2023, upon substantial completion of construction. See Footnote 12 “Debt” to our Financial Statements for additional information on this lease.
(6) Primarily relates to future guaranteed purchases of rental inventory of $6 million and our commitment to an owners’ association that we manage to pay for any shortfall between the actual expenses incurred by the owners’ association and the income received by the owners’ association, in lieu of maintenance fees, of $6 million.
In the normal course of our resort management business, we enter into purchase commitments on behalf of owners’ associations to manage the daily operating needs of our resorts. Since we are reimbursed for these commitments from the cash flows of the owners’ associations, these obligations have minimal impact on our net income and cash flow. These purchase commitments are excluded from the table above.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We have discussed those policies and estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Since the date of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them.
