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 Vacation Club brands. We are also the exclusive worldwide developer, marketer and seller of vacation ownership and related products under The Ritz-Carlton Club brand, and we have the non-exclusive right to develop, market and sell whole ownership residential products under The Ritz-Carlton Residences brand. We also have a license to use the St. Regis brand for specified fractional ownership products.
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. We provide these services through our Interval International and Aqua-Aston businesses.
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”).
We routinely post important information, including news releases, announcements and other statements about our business and results of operations, that may be deemed material to investors on the Investor Relations section of our website, www.marriottvacationsworldwide.com. We use our website as a means of disclosing material, nonpublic information and for complying with our disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Investors should monitor the Investor Relations section of our website in addition to following our press releases, filings with the SEC, public conference calls and webcasts. The information on our website is not part of, and is not incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report.

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 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 contract 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, by the number of tours 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 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 Network.
• Average revenue per member is calculated by dividing membership fee revenue, transaction revenue, rental revenue, and other member revenue for the Interval Network by the monthly weighted average number of Interval Network active members during the applicable period. We believe this metric is valuable in measuring the overall engagement of our Interval Network active members.
• Segment financial results attributable to common stockholders 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.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenues less cost reimbursement revenues.
• Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Segment Adjusted EBITDA by the applicable segment’s total revenues less cost reimbursement revenues.
NM = Not meaningful.

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 attributable to common stockholders, 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, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin 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 stockholders. We consider Adjusted EBITDA margin to be an indicator of our operating performance. We also use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, as do analysts, lenders, investors, and others, because these measures exclude 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, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin 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. We believe Adjusted EBITDA margin is useful as an indicator of operating profitability because it allows for period-over-period comparisons of the profitability of our on-going core operations before the impact of the excluded items. Adjusted

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin also facilitate comparisons 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, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin 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, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin 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 stockholders, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Second Quarter and First Half
Contract sales in the second quarter and first half of 2024 declined due to a 6% decrease in VPG in each period, partially offset by an increase in tours (5% and 4%, respectively). The decrease in VPG in both periods was due to a decline in first time buyer VPG, a larger percentage mix of international tours which carry a lower VPG, and the on-going impact from the reduced activity at our Maui sales centers. Excluding the $16 million and $32 million decline in contract sales at our Maui sales centers in the second quarter and first half of 2024, respectively, contract sales increased 3% in each period.
In the third quarter of 2023, we increased our vacation ownership notes receivable reserve to reflect then-current trends in delinquencies and default rates. We estimated the amount of the increase in our sales reserve primarily using a historical period of increased defaults. The additional reserves recorded in 2023 adjusted our future default rate estimate to reflect then-current macroeconomic conditions, including inflation outpacing wage growth, continuing high interest rates, mixed economic indicators and increased global insecurity. Subsequent to the third quarter of 2023, we increased our sales reserve rate to provide for higher expected cumulative losses on new originations.
We believe the cumulative impact of inflation on consumers and the related impact on year-over-year increases in maintenance fees for 2023 and 2024 are driving continued elevated delinquencies and defaults. As a result, during the second quarter of 2024, we increased our sales reserve by $70 million to reflect increases in expected cumulative loss rates for our vacation ownership notes receivable originated during 2021-2024. In estimating the increase in the sales reserve, we considered current macroeconomic conditions, including higher consumer debt levels, moderating inflation, continued high interest rates, uncertainty around timing and frequency of interest rate adjustments and continued mixed economic indicators. While we expect a return to normalized maintenance fee increases commencing in 2025, we plan to increase our sales reserve prospectively for new originations at a weighted average rate of 17% to 19% until we have sufficient evidence of improvement in delinquency and default rates. We expect our full year 2024 contracts sales will reflect lower VPG for the second half of 2024, partially offset by tour growth in first time buyer tours, which carry a lower VPG.

The decrease in Development profit reflects lower sales of vacation ownership products and higher marketing and sales costs, including $8 million of higher preview costs, partially offset by $13 million of lower product cost associated with the additional sales reserve, $11 million of favorable product cost true-up activity compared to the prior comparable period and $4 million from the sale of lower average cost inventory. Development profit margin, excluding the impact of the sales reserve increase of $70 million, was 27.0% in the second quarter of 2024. We expect our full year 2024 Development profit margin to decline due to increased marketing and sales expense, the $57 million net impact from the additional sales reserve recorded in the second quarter, and our higher sales reserve rate to be applied to new originations.

Rental profit, excluding profit from owned hotels, increased due to higher plus points revenue of $11 million, an $8 million increase in costs allocated to marketing and sales expense for occupancy used for previews, and $2 million of lower hotel loyalty and other costs. These changes were partially offset by $5 million of decreased profit due to lower average transient rate on higher keys rented and higher tidy and variable costs, $3 million of increased costs associated with higher owner utilization of third-party vacation and other offerings, and $2 million of higher unsold maintenance fees associated with developer owned inventory.

Financing propensity 54.5% 56.2% (1.7 pts) 54.0% 55.3% (1.3 pts)
Second Quarter and First Half
Financing revenues reflect higher interest income as a result of a higher average notes receivable balances and a slightly higher average interest rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The higher average notes receivable balances resulted from new loan originations in excess of the repayment of existing vacation ownership notes receivable, which we expect to continue for the remainder of 2024.
The increase in consumer financing interest expense is attributable to the higher average securitized debt at a higher average interest rate for our more recent term securitization transactions.
We expect consumer financing interest expense to continue to remain higher than our average outstanding interest rates on existing securitization transactions as a result of higher interest rates until meaningful market interest rate declines occur. We do not adjust interest rates on consumer financing offerings at the same pace as, or in lock-step with, broader market interest rates; as a result, we expect our financing profit margin to continue to decrease in 2024, as we repay existing securitization transactions with lower interest rates and enter into new securitization transactions with higher interest rates.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has proposed a global minimum tax of 15% of reported profits (“Pillar 2”) that has been agreed upon in principle by over 140 non-U.S. countries. Although the model rules provide a framework for applying the minimum tax, countries may enact Pillar 2 differently than the model rules and/or on different timelines. While we continue to monitor legislative developments, we do not anticipate Pillar 2 will have a material impact on our 2024 or long-term financial results.

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 stockholders. 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.
At June 30, 2024, our corporate debt, net of cash and equivalents, to Adjusted EBITDA ratio was 4.4, above our targeted range of 2.5 to 3.0, and our goal is to reduce this ratio to 3.0 by the end of 2025.
In the second quarter of 2024, we amended the Corporate Credit Facility to provide for a new $800 million term loan facility that is scheduled to mature on April 1, 2031, the New Term Loan. The proceeds of the New Term Loan were used to refinance in full the Term Loan, which had a balance of $784 million as of March 31, 2024 and was scheduled to mature on August 31, 2025. We have no material principal payment obligations on our debt prior to 2026. See Footnote 12 “Debt” to our Financial Statements for further information related to maturities of our debt.
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 collateralized by a single pool of transferred 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. Given the recent increase in delinquencies and defaults above historical averages, the cash excess spread we received from our securitization transactions has been lower than previously anticipated. At the recent level of defaults, there is no impact to cash whether we repurchase defaulted vacation ownership notes receivable from a securitization VIE and pursue foreclosure or foreclose on behalf of a securitization VIE.
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 2024, and as of June 30, 2024, we had 14 term securitization transactions outstanding, all of which were in compliance with their respective required parameters. Since 2000, we have issued approximately $9.4 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 2024, we amended certain agreements associated with our Warehouse Credit Facility, which extended the revolving

period from May 31, 2025 to June 11, 2026. At June 30, 2024, we had $108 million of borrowings outstanding under our Warehouse Credit Facility.
As of June 30, 2024, $71 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, 2024, $175 million of borrowings and $32 million of le tters of credit were outstanding under our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility.
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.
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 occurs 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 typically have significant variable compensation-related cash outflows associated with payment of annual bonuses.
Operations
In addition to net income 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 $ 4 $ 49
Although we have significant 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 to 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 on our balance sheet in key markets where we believe the opportunities will 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 for repurchasing inventory, we expect these repurchases will help stabilize the future cost of our vacation ownership products.
Our spending for real estate inventory in the first half of 2024 was lower than cost of sales and was primarily related to purchases under our VOI repurchase programs. Purchase of property for future transfer to inventory in 2023 included the acquisition of property in Charleston, South Carolina. We expect inventory spending to exceed cost of sales for the remainder of 2024, due to our remaining commitment to acquire property in Waikiki.

Payment of Dividends to Common Stockholders
We distributed cash dividends to holders of common stock during the first half of 2024 as follows:
Declaration Date Stockholder Record Date
Distribution Date Dividend per Share
December 7, 2023 December 21, 2023 January 4, 2024 $0.76
February 15, 2024 February 29, 2024 March 14, 2024 $0.76
May 9, 2024 May 23, 2024 June 6, 2024 $0.76
We currently expect to pay quarterly dividends in the future, but any future dividend payments will be subject to the approval of our Board of Directors, which will depend on our financial condition, results of operations and capital requirements at the time, 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.

(1) Includes principal as well as interest payments and excludes unamortized debt discount and issuance costs.
(2) During the second quarter of 2024, we amended the Corporate Credit Facility to provide for the New Term Loan, which is scheduled to mature on April 1, 2031. The proceeds from the New Term Loan were used to refinance in full the Term Loan, which had a balance of $784 million as of March 31, 2024, and was scheduled to mature on August 31, 2025.
(3) Payments based on estimated timing of cash flow associated with securitized vacation ownership notes receivable.
(4) 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 requirements under such contracts and primarily relate to future purchases of property and vacation ownership units and information technology assets (hardware and software). Amounts reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as accounts payable and accrued liabilities are excluded from the table above.
(5) Includes interest.
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.
Supplemental Guarantor Information
The 2028 Notes are guaranteed by MVWC, Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc. (“MORI”), and certain other subsidiaries whose voting securities are wholly owned directly or indirectly by MORI (such subsidiaries collectively, the “Senior Notes Guarantors”). These guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. The guarantees of the Senior Notes Guarantors are subject to release in limited circumstances only upon the occurrence of certain customary conditions.
The following tables present consolidating financial information as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 for MVWC and MORI on a stand-alone basis (collectively, the “Issuers”), the Senior Notes Guarantors, the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries of MVWC, and MVW on a consolidated basis.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Footnote 2 “Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards” to our Financial Statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements, including information on new accounting standards and the future adoption of such standards.
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 2023 Annual Report. Since the date of our 2023 Annual Report, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them.
