Alan B. Levan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation, commented, “We are pleased that the Bluegreen Renewal is working as anticipated – sales volume is up, sales volume per guest is up, guest tours are up and we are exceeding our internal budget on operating margin. The fact that our EPS and Adjusted EBITDA are down is a function of several identifiable items which we budgeted for in November and believe will resolve in the coming months. These include our purchases of additional inventory which have short-term carrying costs to the Company, start-up operations related to the opening of a new sales center, resorts temporarily closed as a consequence of weather and other events, and increased staffing in anticipation of future higher sales volume. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2023 a higher proportion of VOI sales were financed by us, resulting in a higher provision for loan losses as a percentage gross sales of VOIs.”
“In July 2022, we acquired a resort in
“During 2022, we announced that several of our resorts were impacted by weather or other catastrophic issues forcing partial or entire closure of the resort and the movement of staff, owners and guests to other resorts. A number of these resorts were still impacted and not fully open during the first quarter of 2023. The staff resources to rehabilitate these resorts have been a Herculean effort. Some are still impacted, but we expect all resorts to be fully operational during the coming months of 2023.”
“Turning to our first quarter results, our sales team again generated a first quarter record
“Our sales of VOIs are driven by the success of our marketing programs, and Bluegreen’s marketing to new customers generally begins with the sale of a vacation package to a prospect. During the first quarter of 2023, we sold 40,780 vacation packages, a decrease from the 41,990 we sold in the first quarter of 2022. We consider this quite a positive achievement considering we closed or went virtual on 52 marketing locations on January 1, 2023. During the first quarter, we continued to invest in and expand our marketing and sales operations to ensure we are properly staffed for the volume we expect to see during the summer travel season. This spend in the short term resulted in higher sales and marketing expenses in the first quarter and while our selling and marketing cost as a percentage of system-wide sales of VOIs was consistent this quarter with the first quarter of 2022, we believe profitability will increase in the future.”
“As of March 31, 2023, our notes receivable portfolio again hit an all-time record high balance of
“Not to be overlooked, our Resort Management and Club Operations segment grew its Adjusted EBITDA by
“I’m also pleased that we were able to increase our quarterly dividend to our shareholders by over
“Overall, the demand for vacations by Bluegreen Vacation Club owners has been and remains strong and we believe our core strategy of primarily offering a ‘drive-to’ network of resorts will continue to serve as a growth driver. From a balance sheet perspective, we believe that we are well positioned to help us navigate uncertain economic conditions with approximately

The Company defines EBITDA as earnings, or net income, before taking into account income tax, interest income (excluding interest earned on VOI notes receivable), interest expense (excluding interest expense incurred on debt secured by VOI notes receivable), and depreciation and amortization. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, adjusted to exclude amounts of loss (gain) on assets held for sale, share-based compensation expense, and items that the Company believes are not representative of ongoing operating results. Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders is Adjusted EBITDA excluding amounts attributable to the non-controlling interest in Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations (in which Bluegreen owns a
The Company considers EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders to be indicators of operating performance, and they are used by the Company to measure its ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand its business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by companies, lenders, investors and others because they 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 provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders 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.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity, including cash flow, derived in accordance with GAAP, or to any other method or analyzing results as reported under GAAP. The limitations of using EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders as an analytical tool include, without limitation, that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders do not reflect (i) changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; (ii) interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on indebtedness (other than as noted above); (iii) tax expense or the cash requirements to pay taxes; (iv) historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; or (v) the effect on earnings or changes resulting from matters that the Company does not believe to be indicative of future operations or performance. Further, although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders do not reflect any cash that may be required for such replacements. In addition, the Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders may not be comparable to definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders or other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

(1) | System-wide Sales of VOIs is a non-GAAP measure and represents all sales of VOIs, whether owned by Bluegreen or a third party immediately prior to the sale. Sales of VOIs owned by third parties are transacted as sales of VOIs in the Bluegreen Vacation Club through the same selling and marketing process Bluegreen uses to sell its VOI inventory. The Company considers system-wide sales of VOIs to be an important operating measure because it reflects all sales of VOIs by its sales and marketing operations without regard to whether Bluegreen or a third party owned such VOI inventory at the time of sale. System-wide sales of VOIs should not be considered as an alternative to sales of VOIs or any other measure of financial performance derived in accordance with GAAP or to any other method of analyzing results as reported under GAAP. |

(1) | Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures for property and equipment. The Company focuses on the generation of free cash flow and considers free cash flow to be a useful supplemental measure of its ability to generate cash flow from operations and is a supplemental measure of liquidity. Free cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. The Company’s computation of free cash flow may differ from the methodology used by other companies. Investors are cautioned that items excluded from free cash flow are a significant component in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial performance. |
