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”).
Strategic Business Operations
In the fourth quarter of 2024, we announced the creation of a Strategic Business Operations office focused on accelerating our growth and driving operating efficiencies in all areas of our business while increasing organizational agility. We intend to: modernize and optimize our processes and systems, including through advanced technology and automation; increase sales efficiency and inventory optimization; and capture significant savings from initiatives related to procurement and corporate overhead. We believe that we can drive $150 million to $200 million of run-rate benefits from these initiatives by the end of 2026, with half of these benefits coming from cost savings and efficiencies and the balance from accelerating revenue growth. We also expect to realize additional savings that will benefit our owners’ maintenance fees. We expect to incur one-time cash costs related to these modernization initiatives of approximately $100 million in each of 2025 and 2026.

Performance Measures
We measure operating performance using the key metrics described below:
• Contract sales from the sale of vacation ownership products is considered 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 sales tour (referred to as Tours , see below), by the number of tours in a given period. We believe that VPG 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.
• Tours is the number of sales tours performed during the applicable period, and generally includes virtual and offsite sales tours, and excludes telesales. We believe that Tours is a valuable metric because it represents the volume of touring guests.
• 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 15 “Business Segments” to our Financial Statements for further information about our reportable business segments.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by the Company’s total revenues less cost reimbursements revenues.
• Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by the applicable segment’s total revenues less cost reimbursements revenues.

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 and amortization of cloud computing software implementation costs. Share-based compensation expense is excluded 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. Amortization of cloud computing software implementation costs, which are not included in depreciation and amortization, are excluded for comparability purposes.
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 profitability.
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 and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful as indicators of operating performance and profitability, respectively, because they allow for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing 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 ongoing 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.

First Quarter
The increase in Sale of vacation ownership products was due to the following:
• Contract sales decreased during the first quarter of 2025 due to a 4% decrease in VPG, partially offset by a 1% increase in tours.
• Approximately half of the VPG decrease was due to a larger percentage mix of first time buyer sales, which carry a lower VPG than existing owners.
• Both first time buyer and owner VPG decreased due to lower closing efficiencies.
• An increase in revenue reportability due to timing differences in the expiration of contractual rescission periods; and
• An increase in our sales reserve to reflect higher expected cumulative losses on new originations, consistent with the increase in our sales reserve rate in the latter half of 2024.

The increase in Development profit was due to the following:
• higher sales of vacation ownership products (discussed above); and
• lower cost of vacation ownership products due to the sale of lower average cost inventory, including product cost true-up activity, slightly offset by higher revenue reportability.
These changes were partially offset by higher marketing and sales costs due to:
• $3 million of higher preview costs, which were evenly split between higher keys and higher rate;
• $5 million increase in tour generation costs, including $1 million associated with the higher tour volume; and
• $3 million of higher wages and benefits, including variable compensation.

First Quarter
Rental profit, excluding profit from owned hotels, declined due to:
• $5 million of higher unsold maintenance fees associated with increased developer-owned inventory;
• $4 million of lower plus points revenue;
• $2 million of higher tidy and variable costs on higher keys rented; and
• $2 million of increased costs associated with higher owner utilization of third-party vacation and other offerings.
These changes were partially offset by:
• $6 million of higher transient rental revenue; and
• a $3 million increase in costs allocated to marketing and sales expense for occupancy used for previews.
Rental profit for our owned hotels remained in-line with the first quarter of 2024.

Financing profit margin 59.3% 59.5% (0.2 pts)

First Quarter
• Financing revenues reflect higher interest income as a result of a higher average notes receivable balance and a slightly higher average interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
• The increase in financing expense is primarily attributed to higher credit card fees and other operating costs.
• Consumer financing interest expense was flat due to lower average securitized debt at a slightly higher average interest rate for our more recent term securitization transactions.
We expect our average interest rate to continue to increase slightly as the current interest rate environment for new securitization transactions exceeds the average interest rate on our existing securitized debt. 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 2025, as we repay existing securitization transactions with proceeds from newer securitization transactions with lower interest rates.

In November 2024, we announced the creation of a Strategic Business Operations office focused on accelerating our growth and driving operating efficiencies in all areas of our business while increasing organizational agility. We intend to: modernize and optimize our processes and systems, including through advanced technology and automation; increase sales efficiency and inventory optimization; and capture significant savings from initiatives related to procurement and corporate overhead. During the first quarter of 2025, we incurred $10 million of restructuring charges associated with these efforts.
During the first quarter of 2024, we incurred $2 million of restructuring charges associated with the elimination of certain positions as a result of the realignment of our management structure and headcount reductions in 2023.

Our effective tax rate was 43.6% and 43.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 differed from the blended statutory tax rate for the same period due to lower pre-tax book income forecast for the current year, which is largely driven by our modernization efforts and related costs expected to be incurred, higher expected foreign losses, for which a valuation allowance will be recorded, and income tax adjustments for discrete items, primarily related to share-based compensation.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 differed from the blended statutory tax rate for the same period due to income tax adjustments for discrete items, including $11 million primarily related to a $20 million increase to remove the permanent reinvestment assertion for certain non-U.S. entities offset by a $9 million decrease for the expiration of statutes of limitation on certain unrecognized tax benefits.

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 March 31, 2025, our corporate debt, net of cash and equivalents, to Adjusted EBITDA ratio was 4.1, above our targeted range of 2.5 to 3.0, and we remain focused on reducing this ratio over time.
We have no material principal payment obligations on our debt prior to 2026. See Footnote 11 “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) 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. Loan defaults under securitizations offset a portion of the excess spread we receive, on a monthly basis.
44
Table of Contents
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. 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. During the first quarter of 2025, and as of March 31, 2025, we had 12 term securitization transactions outstanding, all of which were in compliance with their respective required parameters. Since 2000, we have issued approximately $10 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. At March 31, 2025, we had $315 million of borrowings outstanding on our Warehouse Credit Facility.
As of March 31, 2025, $70 million of gross vacation ownership notes receivable were eligible for securitization.
Corporate Credit Facility
During the first quarter of 2025, we entered into an amendment to the Corporate Credit Facility, which, among other things, increased the borrowing capacity on our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility from $750 million to $800 million of aggregate borrowings for general corporate needs, including working capital, capital expenditures, letters of credit, and acquisitions. The Amendment also extended the termination date from March 31, 2027 to March 24, 2030, reduced certain fees and interest costs, and increased the letter of credit sub-facility of the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility from $75 million to $150 million. At March 31, 2025, $190 million of borrowings and $11 million of letters of credit were outstanding under our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility.
Additionally, the Amendment provided for a new $450 million senior secured Delayed-Draw Term Loan with a maturity date of December 31, 2027. The Delayed-Draw Term Loan is only available to finance the redemption or repurchase of our 2026 Convertible Notes, which are due January 15, 2026. As of March 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings on the Delayed-Draw Term Loan.
See Footnote 11 “Debt” to our Financial Statements for further information.
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 generally have significant variable compensation-related cash outflows associated with payment of annual bonuses.
Timing of Estimated Tax Payments
The Internal Revenue Service provided for the deferral of federal income tax payments as tax relief for businesses in parts of Florida affected by the hurricanes that occurred during the third and fourth quarters of 2024. This relief allows us to delay making certain estimated tax payments, without interest or penalty. As a result, we deferred $38 million of estimated tax payments from the third and fourth quarters of 2024 to the second quarter of 2025. Similarly, in the prior
45

year, as tax relief for businesses in parts of Florida affected by the hurricanes that occurred in 2023, we were able to defer $32 million of estimated tax payments from the third and fourth quarters of 2023 to the first quarter of 2024.
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 (In Excess of) Less Than Cost of Sales

Inventory costs 30 42
Inventory spending (in excess of) less than cost of sales $ (1) $ 17
Although we have adequate 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 to support anticipated future contract sales growth. 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.
We expect inventory spending to continue to exceed cost of sales for the remainder of 2025 due to our remaining commitments to acquire property as disclosed in Footnote 9 “Contingencies and Commitments” to our Financial Statements.

Payment of Dividends to Common Stockholders
We distributed cash dividends to holders of common stock during the first quarter of 2025 as follows:
Declaration Date Stockholder Record Date Distribution Date Dividend per Share
December 6, 2024 December 19, 2024 January 3, 2025 $0.79
February 20, 2025 March 5, 2025 March 19, 2025 $0.79
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.

(3) Payments based on estimated timing of cash flow associated with securitized 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.

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 2024 Annual Report. Since the date of our 2024 Annual Report, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them.
