Item 2. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We have two reportable segments: Vacation Ownership and Travel and Membership. The reportable segments presented below are those for which discrete financial information is available and which are utilized on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to assess performance and to allocate resources. In identifying our reportable segments, we also consider the nature of services provided by the operating segments. Based on this analysis we aggregate two geographical operating segments within the Vacation Ownership reportable segment and two operating segments within the Travel and Membership reportable segment. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of the reportable segments. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income from continuing operations before depreciation and amortization, interest expense (excluding consumer financing interest), early extinguishment of debt, interest income (excluding consumer financing revenues) and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes stock-based compensation costs, separation and restructuring costs, legacy items, transaction and integration costs associated with mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures, asset impairments/recoveries and inventory write-downs associated with the Company’s resort optimization initiative, gains and losses on sale/disposition of business, and items that meet the conditions of unusual and/or infrequent. Legacy items include the resolution of and adjustments to certain contingent assets and liabilities related to acquisitions of continuing businesses and dispositions, including the separation of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (“Wyndham Hotels”) and Avis Budget Group, Inc. (“ABG”), formerly Cendant Corporation, and the sale of the vacation rentals businesses. Integration costs represent certain non-recurring costs directly incurred to integrate mergers and/or acquisitions into the existing business. We exclude these costs as they do not reflect recurring operating expenses. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of performance for our segments which, when considered with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) measures, we believe gives a more complete understanding of our operating performance. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
OPERATING STATISTICS
The table below presents our operating statistics for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. These operating statistics are the drivers of our revenues and therefore provide an enhanced understanding of our businesses. Refer to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 section for a discussion on how these operating statistics affected our business for the periods presented.

| Average number of exchange members (in 000s) (g) | 3,291 | 3,362 | (2.1) |
(a)Includes the impact of acquisitions from the acquisition dates forward.
(b)Represents total sales of VOIs, including sales under the Fee-for-Service program before the effect of loan loss provisions. We believe that Gross VOI sales provides 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.
(c)Represents the number of tours taken by guests in our efforts to sell VOIs.
(d)VPG is calculated by dividing Gross VOI sales (excluding telesales and virtual sales) by the number of tours. We have excluded non-tour sales in the calculation of VPG because they are generated by a different marketing channel. We believe that VPG provides an enhanced understanding of the performance of our Vacation Ownership business because it directly measures the efficiency of this business’ efforts in generating sales from tours during a given reporting period.
(e)Represents the number of exchanges and travel bookings recognized as revenue during the period, net of cancellations.
(f)Represents transaction revenue divided by transactions.
(g)Represents paid members in our vacation exchange programs who are considered to be in good standing.
(h)Percentage change may not calculate due to rounding.
(i)The following table provides a reconciliation of Vacation ownership interest sales, net to Gross VOI sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in millions):
| 2026 | 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Vacation ownership interest sales, net | $427 | $384 |
| Loan loss provision | 100 | 91 |
| Gross VOI sales, net of Fee-for-Service sales | 527 | 475 |
| Fee-for-Service sales (1) | 22 | 37 |
| Gross VOI sales | $549 | $512 |
(1)Represents total sales of VOIs through our Fee-for-Service programs where inventory is sold through our sales and marketing channels for a commission. The Fee-for-Service commission revenues were $11 million and $16 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. These commissions are reported within Service and membership fees on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2025
Our consolidated results are as follows (in millions):
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | Favorable/(Unfavorable) | |
| Net revenues | $961 | $934 | $27 |
| Expenses | 802 | 778 | (24) |
| Operating income | 159 | 156 | 3 |
| Interest expense | 56 | 57 | 1 |
| Interest (income) | (2) | (1) | 1 |
| Other (income), net | (3) | (1) | 2 |

| Provision for income taxes | 29 | 28 | (1) |
| Net income attributable to Travel + Leisure Co. shareholders | $79 | $73 | $6 |
Net revenues increased $27 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with the same period last year. This increase was favorably impacted by foreign currency of $8 million. Excluding the impacts of foreign currency, the increase in net revenues was primarily the result of:
$37 million of increased revenues at our Vacation Ownership segment primarily due to an increase in net VOI sales resulting from an increase in VPG due to a higher mix of owner upgrade transactions which generally produce higher VPGs and increased tours; and higher VOI travel package and incentive revenues; partially offset by a decrease in commission revenues; partially offset by
$17 million of decreased revenues at our Travel and Membership segment primarily due to a decrease in transaction revenue as a result of a higher mix of Travel Club transactions which generally produce lower revenue per transaction and lower Travel Club revenue per transaction due to changes in affiliates.
Expenses increased $24 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with the same period last year. This increase in expenses was unfavorably impacted by foreign currency of $6 million. Excluding the impacts of foreign currency, the increase in expenses was primarily the result of:
$18 million increase in marketing costs in support of increased tour flow and sales volume at the Vacation Ownership segment;
$16 million increase in sales and commission expenses at the Vacation Ownership segment due to higher Gross VOI sales, net of Fee-for-Service sales; and an
$11 million increase in cost of VOIs driven by $19 million of inventory write-downs and impairments related to the resort optimization initiative at the Vacation Ownership segment.
$18 million decrease in developer obligation due to the resort optimization initiative;
$5 million decrease in legacy costs driven by the reversal of a contingent liability associated with the 2023 sale of Love Home Swap; and a
$4 million decrease in cost of sales at the Travel and Membership segment due to the decrease in transaction revenues at the segment.
Our effective tax rates were 26.8% and 28.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily impacted by the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation, which resulted from increases in the Company’s stock price. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily impacted by Pillar Two taxes offset by a decrease in state taxes.
As a result of these items, Net income attributable to Travel + Leisure Co. shareholders increased $6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period last year.
Our segment results are as follows (in millions):

(c)Includes $5 million of resort closure and employee related costs associated with the resort optimization initiative for the three months ended March 31, 2026, included within Operating expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Vacation Ownership
Net revenues increased $43 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased $32 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with the same period of 2025. The net revenue increase was favorably impacted by foreign currency of $6 million and Adjusted EBITDA was favorably impacted by $2 million of foreign currency.
The net revenue increase, excluding the foreign currency impacts, was primarily driven by:
$47 million increase in Gross VOI sales, net of Fee-for-Service sales, due to a 3.4% increase in VPG due to a higher owner upgrade transaction mix (69% in the current period compared to 68% in the same period of 2025) which generally produce higher VPGs, and a 4.9% increase in tours; and a
$5 million increase in other revenues due to higher VOI travel package and incentive revenues.
$8 million increase in our provision for loan losses primarily due to increased Gross VOI sales, net of Fee-for-Service sales and a higher provision rate associated with increased defaults;
$5 million decrease in commission revenues due to lower volume of VOI Fee-for-Service sales; and a
$2 million decrease in property management revenues primarily due to lower reimbursable revenues.
In addition to the net revenue change explained above, and excluding foreign currency, Adjusted EBITDA was further impacted by:
$18 million increase in marketing costs in support of increased tour flow and sales volume; and a
$16 million increase in sales and commission expenses due to higher Gross VOI sales, net of Fee-for-Service sales.
These increases were partially offset by an $18 million decrease in developer obligation due to the resort optimization initiative, and an $8 million decrease in the cost of VOIs sold primarily due to variations in inventory sourcing, partially offset by increased sales volume.
Travel and Membership
Net revenues decreased $15 million and Adjusted EBITDA decreased $9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with the same period of 2025. The net revenue decrease was favorably impacted by foreign currency of $2 million. The Adjusted EBITDA decrease was not materially impacted by foreign currency.
The decrease in net revenues was primarily driven by a $14 million decrease in transaction revenue mostly due to an increase in the Travel Club transaction mix, which carry a lower revenue per transaction than Exchange transactions. This change in mix is attributed to a 17.3% increase in Travel Clubs transactions, whereas Exchange transactions decreased 12.1%. Exchange transactions were impacted by an increase mix of Exchange members with a club affiliation who have a lower transaction propensity; as well as a reduction in Exchange member count. Although Travel club transactions increased, the associated revenue per transaction decreased as a result of shifts in affiliates, resulting in lower commissions. Net revenues were also impacted by a $2 million decrease in subscription revenue due to lower member counts.
In addition to the net revenue decrease explained above, Adjusted EBITDA was further impacted by:
$4 million decrease in cost of sales in line with the decline in transaction revenue above;
$1 million of employee related cost savings mostly due to the 2025 strategic restructuring of this segment; which focused on enhancing organizational efficiency and rationalizing operations; and
$1 million of marketing savings.
Corporate and other
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 Corporate and other net revenue decreased $1 million and Adjusted EBITDA remained flat compared to the same period of 2025.
RESTRUCTURING PLANS
In order to promote the long-term strength of our portfolio of vacation ownership resorts, we undertook a strategic review with the intent of optimizing the overall quality of our resort portfolio, aligning with evolving owner preferences, preserving the affordability of maintenance fees, and mitigating the need for costly special assessments in the future. This review identified 17 resorts requiring significant owner reinvestment or are in markets that no longer align with owner demand. As a result, during 2025, we proposed to the boards of these respective homeowners’ associations (“HOAs”) of the identified resorts, court-supervised restructuring plans to remove select resorts from our portfolio and reduce the number of units at certain other resorts.
In connection with these actions, during 2025, we incurred $233 million of charges consisting of $216 million of inventory write-downs and impairments at the Vacation Ownership segment associated with the removal of the identified resorts and agreements to supply replacement inventory to the impacted vacation ownership clubs, $8 million of impairments of other property and equipment, and $9 million of other charges consisting primarily of employee-related costs.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026,we incurred an additional $22 million of costs at the Vacation Ownership segment associated with this initiative, consisting of $19 million of inventory write-downs and impairments included within Cost of vacation ownership interests on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, $5 million of resort closure and other associated employee costs included within Operating expenses, and a $2 million reversal of severance and related benefits included within Restructuring expenses for costs incurred on behalf of the HOAs in 2025 subject to reimbursement.
As of December 31, 2025, there were $4 million of restructuring liabilities associated with this initiative. This liability was reduced by $1 million of cash payments during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The remaining resort optimization initiative liability of $3 million is expected to be paid by the end of 2027. See Note 20—Restructuring—Resort Optimization Initiativeto the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.
2025 Restructuring Plan
During 2025, we incurred $15 million of restructuring charges associated with the 2025 restructuring plan. These charges included personnel-related costs resulting from a reduction of approximately 250 employees and other expenses. These charges consisted of (i) $7 million of personnel-related costs at our corporate operations, (ii) $5 million of personnel-related costs and $2 million of fees associated with the termination of a licensing agreement at the Travel and Membership segment, and (iii) $1 million of personnel-related costs at the Vacation Ownership segment. All material initiative and related expenses were incurred as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, this restructuring liability was $12 million. The 2025 restructuring liability was reduced by $9 million of cash payments during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The remaining 2025 restructuring liability of $3 million is expected to be paid by the end of 2027.
Prior Restructuring Plans
We also have plans that were implemented prior to 2025. The remaining liability of $12 million under these plans is expected to be paid by the end of 2029. See Note 20—Restructuringto the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details of our restructuring activities.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
| (In millions) | March 31,2026 | December 31,2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total assets | $6,840 | $6,760 | $80 |
| Total liabilities | $7,863 | $7,742 | $121 |
| Total (deficit) | $(1,023) | $(982) | $(41) |
Total assets increased by $80 million from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026, primarily due to:
$55 million increase in Inventory driven by $95 million of inventory acquisitions, partially offset by $19 million of inventory write-downs and impairments associated with the resort optimization initiative, $16 million of VOI inventory sales, and $5 million of inventory transferred to assets held-for-sale during 2026 as a result of member approvals for the remaining resort identified as part of the resort optimization initiative;
$51 million increase in Prepaid expenses driven by a $29 million increase in prepaid maintenance, $13 million increase in prepaid marketing, and $9 million increase in other prepayments due to timing of contract renewals; and
$29 million increase in Restricted cash driven by a $28 million increase related to securitization activity.
These increases were partially offset by a $29 million decrease in Vacation ownership contract receivables, net driven by $288 million of principal collections and net provision for loan losses of $100 million, partially offset by $356 million of VOI originations.
Total liabilities increased by $121 million from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026, primarily due to:
$174 million increase in Debt primarily due to $177 million of net borrowings on the revolving credit facility; and a
$28 million increase in Deferred income taxes primarily related to installment sales and inventory.
$74 million decrease in Accrued expenses and other liabilities primarily due to a $49 million decrease in payroll related liabilities driven by the payment of prior year incentives and accrued salaries, $11 million decrease in accrued interest, and $10 million of payments for restructuring liabilities; and an
$18 million decrease in Non-recourse vacation ownership debt driven by $19 million of net repayments.
Total deficit increased $41 million from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026, primarily due to $87 million of share repurchases and $38 million of dividends, partially offset by $79 million of Net income attributable to Travel + Leisure Co. shareholders.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We believe that we have sufficient sources of liquidity to meet our expected ongoing short-term and long-term cash needs, including capital expenditures, operational and/or strategic opportunities, and expenditures for human capital, intellectual property, contractual obligations, off-balance sheet arrangements, and other such requirements. Our net cash from operations and cash and cash equivalents are key sources of liquidity along with our revolving credit facility, bank conduit facilities, and continued access to debt markets. We believe these anticipated sources of liquidity are sufficient to meet our expected ongoing short-term and long-term cash needs, including the repayment of our $650 million 6.625% secured notes due in July 2026 and our $400 million 6.00% secured notes due in April 2027. Our discussion below highlights these sources of liquidity and how they are utilized to support our cash needs.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of March 31, 2026, we had $254 million of Cash and cash equivalents, which includes highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
$1.0 Billion Revolving Credit Facility
We generally utilize our revolving credit facility to finance our short-term to medium-term business operations, as needed. The facility expires in June 2030 and had $759 million of available capacity as of March 31, 2026.
The revolving credit facility and term loan B facility are subject to covenants including the maintenance of specific financial ratios as defined in the credit agreement. The financial ratio covenants consist of a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.00 to 1.0 as of the measurement date and a maximum first lien leverage ratio of 4.25 to 1.0 as of the measurement date. The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) by consolidated interest expense (as defined in the credit agreement), both as measured on a trailing 12-month basis preceding the measurement date.
The first lien leverage ratio is calculated by dividing consolidated first lien debt (as defined in the credit agreement) as of the measurement date by consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) as measured on a trailing 12-month basis preceding the measurement date. Our first lien leverage ratio determines the interest rate spread on revolver borrowings and fees associated with letters of credit, which subjects them to fluctuation.
As of March 31, 2026, our interest coverage ratio was 5.06 to 1.0 and our first lien leverage ratio was 3.16 to 1.0. These ratios do not include interest expense or indebtedness related to any qualified securitization financing (as defined in the credit agreement). As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with the financial covenants described above.
Secured Notes and Term Loan B facility
We generally utilize borrowing via secured notes and term loan B issuances to meet our long-term financing needs. During the third quarter of 2025, we issued senior secured notes due September 2033, with a face value of $500 million and an interest rate of 6.125%. The proceeds of this offering were used to redeem all of our $350 million 6.60% secured notes that were due October 2025, toward repayment of outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, to pay the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance, and for general corporate purposes. During the fourth quarter of 2025, we amended the credit agreement governing our revolving credit facility and term loan B facility (“Eighth Amendment”). The Eighth Amendment refinanced the $869 million outstanding balance of the term loan B facility, with interest rate per annum applicable to borrowings under this facility equal to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus an applicable rate of 2.00%, representing a 50 basis point reduction. The maturity date of this facility remains December 14, 2029.
These transactions reinforce our expectation that we will maintain adequate liquidity for the next year and beyond. As of March 31, 2026, we had $3.39 billion of outstanding borrowings under our secured notes and term loan B facility with maturities ranging from 2026 to 2033.
Non-recourse Vacation Ownership Debt
Our Vacation Ownership business finances certain of its VOCRs through (i) asset-backed conduit facilities and (ii) term asset-backed securitizations, all of which are non-recourse to us with respect to principal and interest. For the securitizations, we pool qualifying VOCRs and sell them to bankruptcy-remote entities, all of which are consolidated into the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We plan to continue using these sources to finance certain VOCRs. We believe that our USD bank conduit facility, with a term through August 2027, and our AUD/NZD bank conduit facility, with a term through December 2026, amounting to a combined capacity of $752 million ($382 million available as of March 31, 2026), along with our ability to issue term asset-backed securities, provide sufficient liquidity to finance the sale of VOIs beyond the next year.
We closed on securitization financings of $325 million during the first quarter of 2026. During the full year of 2025, we closed on $950 million of securitization financings. These transactions positively impacted our liquidity and reinforce our expectation that we will maintain adequate liquidity for the next year and beyond.
Our liquidity position may be negatively affected by unfavorable conditions in the capital markets in which we operate or if our VOCR portfolios do not meet specified portfolio credit parameters. Our liquidity, as it relates to our VOCR securitization program, could be adversely affected if we were to fail to renew or replace our conduit facilities on their expiration dates, or if a particular receivables pool were to fail to meet certain ratios, which could occur in certain instances if the default rates or other credit metrics of the underlying VOCRs deteriorate. Our ability to sell securities backed by our VOCRs depends on the continued ability and willingness of capital market participants to invest in such securities.
Each of our non-recourse securitized term notes and the bank conduit facilities contain various triggers relating to the performance of the applicable loan pools. If the VOCR pool that collateralizes one of our securitization notes fails to perform within the parameters established by the contractual triggers (such as higher default or delinquency rates), there are provisions pursuant to which the cash flows for that pool will be maintained in the securitization as extra collateral for the note holders or applied to accelerate the repayment of outstanding principal to the note holders. As of March 31, 2026, all of our securitized loan pools were in compliance with applicable contractual triggers.
We may, from time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors, repurchase our outstanding indebtedness, whether or not such indebtedness trades above or below its face amount, for cash and/or in exchange for other securities or other consideration, in each case in open market purchases and/or privately negotiated transactions.
For additional details regarding our credit facilities, term loan B facility, and non-recourse debt see Note 9—Debt to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Material Cash Requirements
The following table summarizes material future contractual obligations of our continuing operations as of March 31, 2026 (in millions). We plan to fund these obligations, along with our other cash requirements, with net cash from operations, cash and cash equivalents, and through the use of our revolving credit facilities, bank conduit facilities, and continued access to debt markets.

(a)Represents required principal payments on notes, term loans, and finance leases.
(b)Represents required principal payments on debt that is securitized through bankruptcy-remote special purpose entities; the creditors of which have no recourse to us for principal and interest.
(c)Includes interest on debt and non-recourse debt; estimated using the stated interest rates.
(d)Includes $534 million for marketing related activities, $359 million related to the development of vacation ownership properties, and $118 million for information technology activities.
(e)Represents an inventory financing obligation with a third-party developer, including associated interest (see Note 7—Inventory to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail) of which $29 million is included within Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(f)Excludes a $35 million liability for unrecognized tax benefits as it is not reasonably estimable to determine the periods in which such liability would be settled with the respective tax authorities.
In addition to the amounts shown in the table above and in connection with our separation from our former parent, ABG, formerly Cendant Corporation, we entered into certain guarantee commitments with ABG (pursuant to our assumption of certain liabilities and our obligation to indemnify ABG, Compass, Inc. (formerly Anywhere Real Estate Inc. and Realogy), and Travelport for such liabilities) and guarantee commitments related to deferred compensation arrangements with ABG and Compass, Inc. We also entered into certain guarantee commitments and indemnifications related to the sale of our vacation rentals businesses. For information on matters related to our former parent and subsidiaries see Note 21—Transactions with Former Parent and Former Subsidiaries to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In addition to the key contractual obligation and separation related commitments described above, we also utilize surety bonds in our Vacation Ownership business for sales and development transactions in order to meet regulatory requirements of certain states. In the ordinary course of our business, we have assembled commitments from 13 surety providers in the amount of $2.38 billion, of which we had $566 million outstanding as of March 31, 2026. The availability, terms and conditions and pricing of bonding capacity are dependent on, among other things, continued financial strength and stability of the insurance company affiliates providing the bonding capacity, general availability of such capacity, and our corporate credit rating. If the bonding capacity is unavailable or, alternatively, the terms and conditions and pricing of the bonding capacity are unacceptable to us, our Vacation Ownership business could be negatively impacted.
As of March 31, 2026, our secured debt is rated Ba3 with a “stable outlook” by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., BB- with a “stable outlook” by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, and BB+ with a “stable outlook” by Fitch Rating Agency. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and is subject to revision or withdrawal by the assigning rating organization. Reference in this report to any such credit rating is intended for the limited purpose of discussing or referring to aspects of our liquidity and of our costs of funds. Any reference to a credit rating is not intended to be any guarantee or assurance of, nor should there be any undue reliance upon, any credit rating or change in credit rating, nor is any such reference intended as any inference concerning future performance, future liquidity, or any future credit rating.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $83 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior year. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $117 million increase in cash utilized for working capital, including an $84 million net outflow for inventory; $28 million of net payments on accounts payable and accrued liabilities; $16 million lower cash inflows from deferred income; and $12 million increase in prepaid expenses; partially offset by $32 million of net collections on trade receivables.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior year. This decrease is primarily due to $9 million of proceeds from the sale of investments; and a $2 million decrease in capital expenditures; partially offset by $8 million for the purchase of investments.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $63 million of Net cash used in financing activities during the prior year. This variance was primarily due to a $158 million increase in net proceeds from corporate debt, partially offset by a $71 million increase in net payments on non-recourse debt and a $17 million increase in share repurchases.
Capital Deployment
We focus on deploying capital for the highest possible returns. Ultimately, our business objective is to grow our business while optimizing cash flow and Adjusted EBITDA. We intend to continue to invest in select capital and technological improvements across our business. We also regularly consider a wide array of potential acquisitions and other strategic transactions, including acquisitions of businesses and real property, joint ventures, business combinations, strategic investments, and dispositions. Any of these transactions could be material to our business. As part of this strategy, we have made, and expect to continue to make, proposals and enter into non-binding letters of intent, allowing us to conduct due diligence on a confidential basis. A potential transaction contemplated by a letter of intent may never reach the point where we enter into a definitive agreement, nor can we predict the timing of such a potential transaction. Finally, we intend to continue to return value to shareholders through the repurchase of common stock and payment of dividends. All future declarations of quarterly cash dividends and increases to the capacity of our share repurchase program are subject to review and approval by the Board of Directors (“Board”).
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we spent $95 million on vacation ownership development projects (inventory). We believe that our Vacation Ownership business currently has adequate finished inventory to support vacation ownership sales for several years. We anticipate full year spending between $200 million and $230 million for vacation ownership projects in 2026. After factoring in the anticipated additional annual spending, and the impacts of the resort optimization initiative discussed in Note 20—Restructuringto the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we expect to have adequate inventory to support vacation ownership sales through at least the next three to four years.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we spent $19 million on capital expenditures, primarily for information technology (digital and new club initiatives) and sales center facility enhancements. During 2026, we anticipate spending between $90 million and $100 million on capital expenditures, primarily for continuation of information technology digital enhancements to our sales and reservation systems, sales center facility renovation and expansion, and resort improvements.
In connection with our focus on optimizing cash flow, we are continuing our asset-light efforts in vacation ownership by seeking opportunities with financial partners whereby they make strategic investments to develop assets on our behalf. We refer to this as Just-in-Time. The partner may invest in new ground-up development projects or purchase from us, for cash, existing in-process inventory which currently resides on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The partner will complete the development of the project and we may purchase finished inventory at a future date as needed or as obligated under the agreement.
We expect that the majority of the expenditures that will be required to pursue our capital spending programs, strategic investments, and vacation ownership development projects will be financed with cash flow generated through operations and cash and cash equivalents. We expect that additional expenditures will be financed with general secured corporate borrowings, including through the use of available capacity under our revolving credit facility.
Share Repurchase Program
On August 20, 2007, our Board authorized a share repurchase program that enables us to purchase our common stock. As of March 31, 2026, the Board has increased the capacity of the program 11 times, most recently in February 2026 by $750 million, bringing the total authorization under the current program to $7.75 billion. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased 1.2 million shares at an average price of $72.51 for a cost of $87 million, bringing the total share repurchased under this authorization to $7.03 billion. Since the inception of this program, proceeds received from stock option exercises have increased the repurchase capacity by $115 million, resulting in $832 million of remaining availability under this program as of March 31, 2026.
The amount and timing of specific repurchases are subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors, including capital allocation priorities. Repurchases may be conducted in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.
Dividends
We paid cash dividends of $0.60 and $0.56 per share during the first quarters of 2026 and 2025. The aggregate dividends paid to shareholders were $41 million during both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Our long-term plan is to grow our dividend at the rate of growth of our earnings at a minimum. The declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common stock are at the discretion of our Board and depend upon many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements of our business, covenants associated with certain debt obligations, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice, and other factors that our Board deems relevant. There is no assurance that a payment of a dividend or a dividend at current levels will occur in the future.
SEASONALITY
We experience seasonal fluctuations in our net revenues and net income from sales of VOIs and vacation exchange fees. Revenues from sales of VOIs are generally higher in the third quarter than in other quarters due to increased leisure travel. Revenues from vacation exchange fees are generally highest in the first quarter, which is typically when members of our vacation exchange business book their vacations for the year.
The seasonality of our business may cause fluctuations in our quarterly operating results. As we expand into new markets and geographical locations, we may experience increased or different seasonality dynamics that create fluctuations in operating results different from the fluctuations we have experienced in the past.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, we are involved in claims, legal and regulatory proceedings, and governmental inquiries related to our business, none of which, in the opinion of management, is expected to have a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition. See Note 15—Commitments and Contingencies to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business along with our guarantees and indemnifications and Note 21—Transactions with Former Parent and Former Subsidiaries to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our obligations regarding ABG contingent litigation, matters related to Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc., and matters related to the vacation rentals businesses.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
In presenting our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Several of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. However, events that are outside of our control cannot be predicted and, as such, they cannot be contemplated in evaluating such estimates and assumptions. If there is a significant unfavorable change to current conditions, it could result in a material impact to our consolidated results of operations, financial position, and liquidity. We believe that the estimates and assumptions we used when preparing our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were the most appropriate at that time. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 18, 2026, which includes a description of our critical accounting estimates that involve subjective and complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results. There have been no material changes to these critical accounting estimates since the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
