−Removed: Excluding the impact of the Alignment, Sale of vacation ownership products increased $426 million or 37%.
+Added: Contract sales declined due to an 8% decline in VPG, partially offset by tour growth of 4%.
+Added: The decline in VPG is attributed to the normalization of sales following the COVID-19 pandemic, the transition of certain Legacy-ILG sales galleries to selling our Marriott Vacation Club Destinations product and the impact of the reduced activity at our sales centers in Maui due to the wildfires.
+Added: These results reflect a 46% and 14% increase in tours and VPG, respectively, in Asia Pacific resulting from the rebound of our sales operations in response to the increase in travel in this region following the COVID-19 pandemic.
+Added: Revenue reportability declined due to the non-recurring impact of the Alignment recorded in 2022, which resulted in an increase in reportability of $58 million in 2022.
+Added: The increase in the sales reserve is due to an adjustment to our sales reserve recorded in the third quarter of 2023 (referred to as the “2023 Reserve Adjustment” and discussed further below), an increase in the sales reserve rate in the fourth quarter of 2023 to provide for increased defaults consistent with the 2023 Reserve Adjustment, and an increase in financing propensity, partially offset by the non-recurring $19 million Reserve Alignment recorded in 2022.
+Added: In the third quarter of 2023, we evaluated our vacation ownership notes receivable reserve in light of trends in delinquencies and default rates.
+Added: As a result, we increased our originated vacation ownership notes receivable reserve by $59 million.

+Added: The additional reserve adjusted our future default rate estimates to reflect then-current macroeconomic conditions, including inflation outpacing wage growth, continuing high interest rates, mixed economic indicators and increased global insecurity.

+Added: Excluding the impact of the $49 million 2023 Reserve Adjustment ($59 million gross, offset by a $10 million reduction in Cost of vacation ownership products) and the $32 million Alignment in 2022, Development profit decreased $28 million and Development profit margin decreased by approximately 60 basis points.
