Diamond Acquisition

On Aug. 2, 2021, HGV completed the acquisition of Dakota Holdings, Inc., the parent of Diamond Resorts International (the “Diamond Acquisition”). HGV completed the acquisition by exchanging 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Diamond for shares of HGV common stock. Pre-existing HGV shareholders owned approximately 72% of the combined company immediately after giving effect of the Diamond Acquisition, with certain funds controlled by Apollo Global Management Inc. (the "Apollo Funds" or, "Apollo") and other minority shareholders, who previously owned 100% of Diamond, holding the remaining, approximately 28% at the time the Diamond Acquisition was completed.

Diamond also operates in the hospitality and VOI industry, with a worldwide resort network of global vacation destinations. Diamond’s portfolio consists of resort properties that the Company manages, which are included in one of Diamond's single- and multi-use trusts (collectively, the "Diamond Collections" or "Collections"), or are Diamond-branded resorts in which the Company owns inventory. It also includes affiliated resorts and hotels, which the Company does not manage, and which do not carry the Diamond brand but are a part of Diamond's network and, through THE Club® and other Club offerings (the “Diamond Clubs”), are available for its members to use as vacation destinations.

Diamond’s operations primarily consist of: VOI sales and financing which includes marketing and sales of VOIs and consumer financing for purchasers of the Company's VOIs; operations related to the management of the homeowners associations (the “HOAs”) for resort properties and the Diamond Collections, operating and managing points-based vacation clubs, and operation of certain resort amenities and management services.

The financial results in this report include Diamond’s results of operations beginning on Aug. 2, 2021 (the "Acquisition Date"). The Company refers to Diamond's business and operations that were acquired as “Legacy-Diamond” or “Diamond,” and HGV's operations as “Legacy-HGV,” which is inclusive of operations that existed both prior to and following the Diamond Acquisition.

Overview

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, diluted EPS was $0.42 compared to ($0.08) for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Net income and Adjusted EBITDA were $51 million and $202 million, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to net loss and Adjusted EBITDA of ($7) million and $42 million, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, were $779 million compared to $235 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Net income and Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, included a net deferral of $22 million relating to sales of intervals at Maui Bay Villas Phase IB and The Beach Resort Sesoko Phase II, which were under construction during the period. The Company anticipates recognizing these revenues and related expenses in 2022 when it expects to complete these projects and recognize the net deferral impacts.

Consolidated Segment Highlights – First Quarter 2022

Real Estate Sales and Financing

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, Real Estate Sales and Financing segment revenues were $452 million, an increase of $329 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Real Estate Sales and Financing segment Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA profit margin were $153 million and 33.8%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $27 million and 22.0%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Results in the first quarter of 2022 improved due to an increase in tour flow related to an improvement in travel demand versus the prior year, as well as an increase in volume per guest.

Real Estate Sales and Financing segment adjusted EBITDA reflects a reduction of $22 million due to the deferral of sales and related expenses of VOIs under construction in the first quarter of 2022. These deferrals were related sales of intervals at Maui Bay Villas Phase IB and The Beach Resort Sesoko Phase II projects for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and compare to $18 million net deferrals related to Ocean Tower Phase II, Maui Bay Villas Phase I and The Beach Resort Sesoko Phase I projects for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Contract sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, increased $370 million to $509 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021. For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, tours increased by 253% and VPG increased by 4% compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021. For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, fee-for-service contract sales represented 25% of contract sales compared to 40% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Financing revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, increased by $27 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021. This was driven primarily by a $24 million increase related to interest income on the timeshare financing receivables. The Company experienced an increase in the timeshare financing receivables balance along with an increase in the weighted average interest rate for the originated portfolio of 100 basis points as of March 31, 2022 compared to March 31, 2021.

Resort Operations and Club Management

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, Resort Operations and Club Management segment revenue was $268 million, an increase of $188 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Resort Operations and Club Management segment Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA profit margin were $101 million and 37.7%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $42 million and 52.5%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Compared to the prior-year period, results in the first quarter of 2022 increased due to the addition of Diamond's resort network and member base, along with an increase in the number of transactions compared to the same period in 2021, which more than offset the increases in segment operating expenses.

Inventory

The estimated value of the Company’s total contract sales pipeline is approximately $13 billion at current pricing.

The total pipeline includes approximately $7 billion of sales relating to inventory that is currently available for sale at open or soon-to-open projects. The remaining approximately $6 billion of sales is inventory at new or existing projects that will become available for sale in the future upon registration, delivery or construction.

Owned inventory represents 83% of the Company’s total pipeline. Approximately 53% of the owned inventory pipeline is currently available for sale.

Fee-for-service inventory represents 17% of the Company’s total pipeline. Approximately 46% of the fee-for-service inventory pipeline is currently available for sale.

With 23% of the pipeline consisting of just-in-time inventory and 17% consisting of fee-for-service inventory, capital-efficient inventory represents 40% of the Company’s total contract sales pipeline.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Total cash and cash equivalents were $817 million as of March 31, 2022, including $303 million of restricted cash.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $2,913 million of corporate debt, net outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 4.09% and $1,203 million of non-recourse debt, net outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 2.87%.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s liquidity position consisted of $514 million of unrestricted cash and $699 million remaining borrowing capacity under the revolver facility.

As of March 31, 2022, HGV has $439 million remaining borrowing capacity in total under the Timeshare Facility, and conduit facilities due in 2023 and 2024. Of this amount, HGV has $154 million of mortgage notes that are available to be securitized and another $238 million of mortgage notes that the Company expects will become eligible as soon as they meet typical milestones including receipt of first payment, deeding, or recording.

Free cash flow was $256 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $57 million for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted free cash flow was $159 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $3 million for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted free cash flow for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 includes add-backs of $25 million related to the Diamond Acquisition.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s total net leverage on a pro-forma trailing 12-month basis was approximately 2.62x, not giving effect to anticipated synergies. Inclusive of anticipated synergies, HGV was at 2.39x total net leverage on a pro-forma trailing 12-month basis.

Subsequent Events

On April 21, 2022, HGV completed a $246 million securitization of its gross timeshare financing receivables with an overall weighted average interest rate of 4.30 percent and an overall advance rate of 95%. The proceeds were primarily used to pay down one of the Company's conduit facilities in full, which was a total of $115 million, and for general corporate purposes.

On May 3, 2022, HGV amended the terms of the Timeshare Facility to increase the borrowing capacity from $450 million to $750 million, allowing the Company to borrow up to the maximum amount until May 2024 and requiring all amounts borrowed to be repaid in 2025. The Timeshare Facility is secured by certain timeshare financing receivables in the Company's loan portfolio.

On May 4, 2022, HGV's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to an aggregate of $500 million of its outstanding shares of common stock.

DEFINITIONS

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA, presented herein, is a financial measure that is not recognized under U.S. GAAP that reflects net income (loss), before interest expense (excluding non-recourse debt), a provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as EBITDA, as previously defined, further adjusted to exclude certain items, including, but not limited to, gains, losses and expenses in connection with: (i) other gains, including asset dispositions and foreign currency translations; (ii) debt restructurings/retirements; (iii) non-cash impairment losses; (iv) share-based and other compensation expenses; and (v) other items, including but not limited to costs associated with acquisitions, restructuring, amortization of premiums and discounts resulting from purchase accounting, and other non-cash and one-time charges.

EBITDA profit margin, presented herein, represents EBITDA, as previously defined, divided by total revenues. Adjusted EBITDA profit margin, presented herein, represents Adjusted EBITDA, as previously defined, divided by total revenues.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

HGV believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors about us and our financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are among the measures used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions; and (ii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common performance measure to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in our industry. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash flow or other methods of analyzing our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our interest expense (excluding interest expense on non-recourse debt), or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our indebtedness;
• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the effect on earnings or changes resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our future operations;
• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for future replacements of assets that are being depreciated and amortized; and
• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be calculated differently from other companies in our industry limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as discretionary cash available to us to reinvest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow represents cash from operating activities less non-inventory capital spending.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow represents free cash flow further adjusted to exclude net non-recourse debt activities and other one-time adjustment items including, but not limited to, costs associated with acquisitions.

We consider Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to be liquidity measures not recognized under U.S. GAAP that provides useful information to both management and investors about the amount of cash generated by operating activities that can be used for investing and financing activities, including strategic opportunities and debt service. We do not believe these non-GAAP measures to be a representation of how we will use excess cash.

Real Estate Metrics

Contract sales represents the total amount of VOI products (fee-for-service, just-in-time, developed, and points-based) under purchase agreements signed during the period where we have received a down payment of at least 10 percent of the contract price. Contract sales differ from revenues from the Sales of VOIs, net that we report in our condensed consolidated statements of operations due to the requirements for revenue recognition, as well as adjustments for incentives. We consider contract sales to be an important operating measure because it reflects the pace of sales in our business and is used to manage the performance of the sales organization. While the presentation of contract sales on a combined basis (fee-for-service, just-in-time, developed, and points-based) is most appropriate for the purpose of the operating metric, additional information regarding the split of contract sales, included in “—Real Estate” below, is useful for investors who are interested in the underlying capital structures of the Company’s projects. See Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 in our Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, for additional information on Sales of VOIs, net.

Developed Inventory refers to VOI inventory that is sourced from projects the Company develops.

Fee-for-Service Inventory refers to VOI inventory HGV sells and manages on behalf of third-party developers.

Just-in-Time Inventory refers to VOI inventory primarily sourced in transactions that are designed to closely correlate the timing of the acquisition with HGV’s sale of that inventory to purchasers.

Points-Based Inventory refers to VOI sales that are backed by physical real estate that is contributed to a trust.

NOG or Net Owner Growth represents the year-over-year change in membership.

Real estate profit represents sales revenue less the cost of VOI sales and sales and marketing costs, net of marketing revenue. Real estate profit margin is calculated by dividing real estate profit by sales revenue. The Company considers this to be an important operating measure because it measures the efficiency of our sales and marketing spending and management of inventory costs.

Sales revenue represents Sale of VOIs, net and fee-for-service commissions and brand fees earned from the sale of fee-for-service intervals.

Fee-for-service commissions and brand fees, net represents commissions and brand fees earned from the sale of fee-for-service intervals net of related reserves.

Tour flow represents the number of sales presentations given at HGV’s sales centers during the period.

Volume per guest (“VPG”) represents the sales attributable to tours at HGV’s sales locations and is calculated by dividing contract sales, excluding telesales, by tour flow. The Company considers VPG to be an important operating measure because it measures the effectiveness of HGV’s sales process, combining the average transaction price with closing rate.
