Vacation Ownership

Consolidated contract sales declined year-over-year due to lower VPG, with about half of the decline related to a higher mix of first time buyers. This was partially offset by higher year-over-year tours. Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased compared to the prior year driven by higher development, resort management and finance profit, partially offset by higher rental expense. Sales reserve was 12% of consolidated contract sales, net of resales, in line with the Company’s expectations, while delinquencies declined 60 basis points year over year.

Exchange & Third-Party Management

Revenues excluding cost reimbursements and Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased year-over-year primarily due to lower revenue at Interval International.

Corporate and Other

General and administrative costs decreased 3% in the first quarter compared to the prior year.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

The Company ended the quarter with $865 million in liquidity, including $196 million of cash and cash equivalents and nearly $600 million of available capacity under its revolving corporate credit facility. The Company also had $1 billion of total inventory at the end of the quarter, including $266 million classified as a component of Property and equipment.

The Company had $3 billion of corporate debt and $2 billion of non-recourse debt related to its securitized vacation ownership notes receivable at the end of the first quarter.

During the quarter, the Company amended and extended its credit agreement to 2030 to refinance its senior secured revolving credit facility at improved terms and added a $450 million senior secured delayed-draw term loan facility to provide flexibility to refinance its convertible notes maturing January 2026.

On May 6, 2025, the Company completed its first securitization of 2025, issuing $450 million of vacation ownership notes with a gross advance rate of 98% and a blended interest rate of 5.16%.

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 an 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 attributable to common stockholders, earnings 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 Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We evaluate non-GAAP financial measures, including those identified by an asterisk (“*”) on the preceding pages, that exclude certain items as further described in the financial schedules included herein, 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 companies.

Adjusted Development Profit 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 margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted development profit by revenues from the Sale of vacation ownership products. Adjusted development profit and Adjusted development profit margin adjust Sale of vacation ownership products revenues for the impact of revenue reportability, include 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 necessary. We evaluate Adjusted development profit and Adjusted development profit margin and believe they provide useful information to investors because they allow 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 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 expense, are excluded for comparability purposes.

For purposes of our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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 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 provisions 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 companies.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We evaluate Adjusted EBITDA margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin as indicators of operating profitability. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by the Company’s total revenues less cost reimbursement revenues. Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by the applicable segment’s total revenues less cost reimbursement revenues. We evaluate Adjusted EBITDA margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA 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 excluded items.

Adjusted Pretax Income, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders, and Adjusted Earnings per Share - Diluted

We evaluate Adjusted pretax income, Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders, and Adjusted earnings per share - diluted as indicators of operating performance. Adjusted pretax income is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation and amortization and interest expense, net of interest income. Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders is calculated as Adjusted pretax income less provision for income tax adjusted for certain items and Adjusted earnings per share - diluted equals adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders divided by diluted shares. We evaluate these measures because we believe they provide useful information to investors because they allow for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of certain non-recurring items such as impacts from asset sales, restructuring costs, litigation charges, strategic modernization initiative costs, transaction and integration costs, and impairments, and also facilitate the comparison of results from our on-going core operations before these items with results from other companies.

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow

We evaluate Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow as liquidity measures that provide useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash provided by operating activities after capital expenditures for property and equipment and the borrowing and repayment activity related to our term securitizations, which cash can be used for, among other purposes, strategic opportunities, including acquisitions and strengthening the balance sheet. Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which reflects additional adjustments to Free Cash Flow for the impact of transaction, integration and restructuring charges, litigation charges, insurance proceeds, impact of borrowings available from the securitization of eligible vacation ownership notes receivable, and changes in restricted cash and other items, allows for period-over-period comparisons of the cash generated by our business before the impact of these items. Analysis of Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow also facilitates management’s comparison of our results with our competitors’ results.
