"We were very encouraged with our third quarter results. Our ability to recover quickly during this re-opening phase demonstrates the resiliency of our business," commented Michael D.

Our two business segments, Wyndham Vacation Clubs and Panorama, saw strong demand in net bookings improving throughout the quarter."

"Our focus on leisure travel, and our geographically diverse resort and sales and marketing footprint, gives us confidence for the fourth quarter and heading into 2021. We believe we are well-positioned to lead the broader travel industry in recovery," said Brown. "Our resilient business model means that we expect to be adjusted free cash flow positive for the full-year."

Panorama revenue decreased 45% to $138 million in the third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 28% to $60 million. Excluding the sale of North American vacation rentals and the acquisition of Alliance Reservations Network (ARN), revenue decreased 24% and adjusted EBITDA decreased 16%. Cancellations continue to run at elevated levels and cross-border transactions are down significantly, particularly in international regions. This decrease was offset in part by sequential improvement in exchange bookings yielding September gross bookings which exceeded the prior year by 1%.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Net Debt — As of September 30, 2020, the Company's leverage ratio for covenant purposes was 4.1x, well within covenant restriction of 6.5x. The Company had $4.2 billion of corporate debt outstanding as of September 30, 2020, which excluded $2.5 billion of non-recourse debt related to its securitized notes receivable. Additionally, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.3 billion. The Company's next long-term debt maturity is $250 million of secured notes due March 2021. Refer to Table 9 for definitions of net debt and leverage ratio.

The Company amended its $1.0 billion revolving credit facility in July. The Credit Amendment raised the first lien leverage-based financial covenant by varying levels for each applicable fiscal quarter during the relief period providing the Company with significant financial flexibility.

In July, the Company also completed the private placement issuance of $650 million senior secured notes due 2026 with an interest rate of 6.625%.

At the end of the third quarter, the Company had $1.5 billion of liquidity available in cash and cash equivalents and revolving credit facility.

Timeshare Receivables Financing During the quarter, Wyndham Destinations closed on a $575 million securitization with a weighted average coupon of 2.81% and 90% advance rate.

Cash Flow For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $224 million, compared to $321 million in the prior year period. Adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations was $120 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $466 million in the same period of 2019.

Share Repurchases  The Company has suspended share repurchase activity.

Dividend  The Company paid $26 million ($0.30 per share) in cash dividends on September 30, 2020 to shareholders of record as of September 15, 2020.

The Company expects to recommend a fourth quarter dividend of $0.30 per share for approval by the Company's Board of Directors in November.

Presentation of Financial Information

Financial information discussed in this press release includes non-GAAP measures such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations, adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations, gross VOI sales and adjusted net income/(loss) from continuing operations, which include or exclude certain items. The Company utilizes non-GAAP measures on a regular basis to assess performance of its reportable segments and allocate resources. These non-GAAP measures differ from reported GAAP results and are intended to illustrate what management believes are relevant period-over-period comparisons and are helpful to investors when considered with GAAP measures as an additional tool for further understanding and assessing the Company's ongoing operating performance by adjusting for items which in our view do not necessarily reflect ongoing performance. Management also internally uses these measures to assess our operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions. Exclusion of items in the Company's non-GAAP presentation should not be considered an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Full reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for the reported periods appear in the financial tables section of the press release. See definitions on Table 9 for an explanation of our non-GAAP measures.

Amounts may not calculate due to rounding. The table above reconciles certain non-GAAP financial measures to their closest GAAP measure. The presentation of these adjustments is intended to permit the comparison of particular adjustments as they appear in the income statement in order to assist investors' understanding of the overall impact of such adjustments. In addition to GAAP financial measures, the Company provides adjusted net income/(loss) from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations to assist our investors in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for the current reporting period and, where provided, over different reporting periods, by adjusting for certain items which in our view do not necessarily reflect ongoing performance. We also internally use these measures to assess our operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions. These supplemental disclosures are in addition to GAAP reported measures. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, financial results and measures determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP. See "Presentation of Financial Information" and the tables for the definitions and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures.


(a)

Amortization of acquisition-related assets is excluded from adjusted net income/(loss) from continuing operations and adjusted EBITDA.

(b)

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 the amounts represent the tax effect of the adjustments totaling $9 million and $45 million, respectively, partially offset by $6 million of non-cash tax expense associated with COVID-19 related increases to valuation allowances. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, amounts represent the tax effect of the adjustments totaling $4 million and $15 million, respectively.

(c) 

All stock-based compensation is excluded from adjusted EBITDA.

Definitions

Adjusted EBITDA: A non-GAAP measure, defined by the Company as net income/(loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense (excluding consumer financing interest), early extinguishment of debt, interest income (excluding consumer financing revenues) and income taxes, each of which is presented on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes stock-based compensation costs, separation and restructuring costs, transaction costs and impairments, gains and losses on sale/disposition of business, and items that meet the conditions of unusual and/or infrequent. We believe that when considered with GAAP measures, Adjusted EBITDA is useful to assist our investors in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for the current reporting period and, where provided, over different reporting periods. We also internally use these measures to assess our operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income/(loss) or other income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP and our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

Adjusted net income/(loss) from continuing operations: A non-GAAP measure, defined by the Company as net income/(loss) from continuing operations adjusted to exclude separation and restructuring costs, amortization of acquisition-related assets, debt modification costs, impairments, gains and losses on sale/disposition of business, and items that meet the conditions of unusual and/or infrequent and the tax effect of such adjustments.

Adjusted diluted earnings/(loss) per share: A non-GAAP measure, defined by the Company as Adjusted net income/(loss) from continuing operations divided by the diluted weighted average number of common shares.

Gross Vacation Ownership Interest Sales: A non-GAAP measure, represents sales of vacation ownership interests (VOIs), including sales under the fee-for-service program before the effect of loan loss provisions. We believe that Gross VOI sales provide an enhanced understanding of the performance of our vacation ownership business because it directly measures the sales volume of this business during a given reporting period.

Tours: Represents the number of tours taken by guests in our efforts to sell VOIs.       

Volume Per Guest (VPG): Represents Gross VOI sales (excluding tele-sales upgrades, which are non-tour upgrade sales) divided by the number of tours. The Company has excluded non-tour upgrade sales in the calculation of VPG because non-tour upgrade sales are generated by a different marketing channel.

Average Number of Members: Represents paid members in our vacation exchange programs who are current on their annual membership dues or within the allowed grace period.

Exchange Revenue Per Member: Represents total revenues generated from fees associated with memberships, exchange transactions, and other servicing for the period divided by the average number of vacation exchange members during the period.

Panorama transactions: Represents Exchange System and Closed User Group bookings, net of cancellations.

Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations (FCF): A non-GAAP measure, defined by the Company as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less property and equipment additions (capital expenditures) plus the sum of proceeds and principal payments of non-recourse vacation ownership debt. The Company believes FCF to be a useful operating performance measure to evaluate the ability of its operations to generate cash for uses other than capital expenditures and, after debt service and other obligations, its ability to grow its business through acquisitions and equity investments, as well as its ability to return cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. A limitation of using FCF versus the GAAP measures of net cash provided by operating activities as a means for evaluating Wyndham Destinations is that FCF does not represent the total cash movement for the period as detailed in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations: A non-GAAP measure, defined by the Company as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less property and equipment additions (capital expenditures) plus the sum of proceeds and principal payments of non-recourse vacation ownership debt, while also adding back transaction costs for acquisitions and divestitures, separation adjustments associated with the spin-off of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, and certain adjustments related to COVID-19.

Net Debt: Net debt equals total debt outstanding, less non-recourse vacation ownership debt and cash and cash equivalents.

Leverage Ratio: The Company calculates leverage ratio as net debt divided by adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the credit agreement.
