First Quarter 2021 Segment Results

Vacation Ownership

Revenues excluding cost reimbursements decreased 30% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year but increased 14% from the fourth quarter of 2020 as the business continued to recover. Compared to the fourth quarter, revenue from the sale of vacation ownership products, rentals, and management and exchange increased 19%, 29%, and 5%, respectively.  Development profit increased 71% and Development profit margin increased approximately 250 basis points on a sequential basis.  Excluding the impact of revenue reportability, Adjusted development profit nearly tripled sequentially to $40 million, with Adjusted development profit margin more than doubling to 21%.

Vacation Ownership segment financial results were $44 million in the first quarter of 2021 and segment Adjusted EBITDA was $68 million.

Exchange & Third-Party Management

Revenues excluding cost reimbursements decreased 16% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year but increased 23% from the fourth quarter. Interval International exchange volumes increased 17% compared to the prior year and increased 27% from the fourth quarter of 2020. Active members declined 3% compared to the end of 2020 to nearly 1.5 million. Average revenue per member increased 14% compared to the prior year and increased 29% from the fourth quarter of 2020 as exchange and getaway rental activity increased.

Exchange & Third-Party Management segment financial results were $21 million in the first quarter of 2021 and segment Adjusted EBITDA was $41 million, with Adjusted EBITDA margin improving approximately 960 basis points year-over-year.

Corporate and Other

General and administrative costs declined $24 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year primarily as a result of synergy efforts and lower costs associated with the furlough and reduced work week programs, including salary related costs.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

On March 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents totaled $643 million and the Company had $240 million of gross notes receivable that were eligible for securitization. 

During the first quarter, the Company issued $575 million of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 with an initial conversion price of $171.01 per share. To reduce the potential dilution to the Company's earnings per share upon conversion of the Notes, the Company also entered into privately negotiated convertible note and warrant transactions at an initial strike price of $213.76 per share, which represented a premium of 75% over the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock on January 27, 2021.

The Company had $4.4 billion in debt outstanding, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, at the end of the first quarter of 2021. This debt included $3.0 billion of corporate debt, after repaying $100 million of its outstanding term loan during the first quarter, and $1.4 billion of non-recourse debt related to its securitized notes receivable. 

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company used $246 million to finance and consummate the acquisition of Welk Resorts, repay certain outstanding Welk Resorts debt and pay transaction expenses and other fees in connection with the transaction. Pro-forma for the acquisition, the Company had unrestricted cash of $432 million and gross notes receivable of $345 million that were eligible for securitization.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In our press release and schedules, and on the related conference call, we report certain financial measures that are not prescribed by GAAP. We discuss our reasons for reporting these non-GAAP financial measures below, and the financial schedules included herein reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to each non-GAAP financial measure that we report (identified by a double asterisk ("**") on the preceding pages). Although we evaluate and present these non-GAAP financial measures for the reasons described below, please be aware that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenues, net income or loss attributable to common shareholders, earnings or loss per share or any other comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do or may not calculate them at all, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Certain Items Excluded from Adjusted Net Income or Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Development Profit and Adjusted Development Profit Margin.

We evaluate non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted pretax income or loss, Adjusted net income or loss attributable to common shareholders, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted development profit and Adjusted development profit margin, that exclude certain items in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, and believe these measures provide useful information to investors because these non-GAAP financial measures allow for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of these items. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate the comparison of results from our on-going core operations before these items with results from other vacation ownership companies.

Adjusted Development Profit (Adjusted Sale of Vacation Ownership Products Net of Expenses) and Adjusted Development Profit Margin.

We evaluate Adjusted development profit (Adjusted sale of vacation ownership products, net of expenses) and Adjusted development profit margin as indicators of operating performance. Adjusted development profit and Adjusted development profit margin adjust Sale of vacation ownership products revenues for the impact of revenue reportability, includes corresponding adjustments to Cost of vacation ownership products associated with the change in revenues from the Sale of vacation ownership products, and may include adjustments for certain items as itemized on A-6, as necessary. We evaluate Adjusted development profit and Adjusted development profit margin and believe it provides useful information to investors because it allows for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of revenue reportability and certain items to our Development profit and Development profit margin.

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 or loss attributable to common shareholders, before interest expense (excluding consumer financing interest expense associated with term loan securitization transactions), income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA reflects additional adjustments for certain items, as itemized in the discussion of Adjusted EBITDA in the preceding pages, 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 and Adjusted EBITDA calculations, we do not adjust for consumer financing interest expense associated with term loan 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 and expand our business. We also use Adjusted EBITDA, as do analysts, lenders, investors and others, because this measure excludes 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 and Adjusted EBITDA 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. Adjusted EBITDA also facilitates comparison by us, analysts, investors, and others, of results from our on-going core operations before the impact of these items with results from other vacation companies.
