Our Exchange & Third-Party Management segment includes an exchange network and membership programs, as well as the provision of management services to other resorts and lodging properties. Exchange & Third-Party Management revenue generally is fee-based and derived from membership, exchange and rental transactions, property and owners’ association management, and other related products and services. We provide these services through our Interval International and Aqua-Aston businesses. In April 2022, we disposed of VRI Americas after determining that the business was not a core component of our future growth strategy and operating model. This business was a component of our Exchange & Third-Party Management segment through the date of the sale.

Accounting Policies Used in Describing Results of Operations

Previous wording

We recognize revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products (also referred to as “VOIs”) when control of the vacation ownership product is transferred to the customer and the transaction price is deemed collectible. Based upon the different terms of our contracts with the customer and business practices, control of the vacation ownership product has historically transferred to the customer at different points in time for each brand of VOIs. In the third quarter of 2022 and the fourth quarter of 2024, we aligned our business practices and contract terms for the sale of vacation ownership products (the “Contract Alignments”), resulting in the prospective change in the timing of the transfer of control to the customer for Marriott-branded VOIs and Hyatt-branded VOIs derived from Legacy-Welk sales contracts, respectively. Prior to these changes, control transfer occurred at closing for these vacation ownership products. Subsequent to the Contract Alignments, transfer of control of these vacation ownership products occurs at expiration of the statutory rescission period, consistent with the historical timing of Sheraton-, Westin- and Hyatt- branded transactions. Marriott-branded VOIs and Hyatt-branded VOIs derived from Legacy-Welk sales contracts executed prior to the applicable Contract Alignment have been accounted for with the transfer of control of the VOI occurring at closing.

Current wording

We recognize revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products (also referred to as “VOIs”) when control of the vacation ownership product is transferred to the customer and the transaction price is deemed collectible, which typically correlates to expiration of the statutory rescission period.

Previous wording

Sales of vacation ownership products may be made for cash or we may provide financing. In addition, we recognize settlement fees associated with the transfer of vacation ownership products and commission revenues from sales of vacation ownership products on behalf of third parties, which we refer to as “resales revenue.”

Finally, as more fully described in “Financing” below, we record the difference between the contract receivable or vacation ownership note receivable and the consideration to which we expect to be entitled (also known as a vacation ownership notes receivable reserve or a sales reserve) as a reduction of revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products at the time we recognize revenues from a sale.

Current wording

Finally, as more fully described in “Financing” below, we record the difference between the contract receivable or vacation ownership note receivable and the amount we expect to collect from debtors (also known as a vacation ownership notes receivable reserve or a sales reserve) as a reduction of revenues from the sale of VOIs at the time we recognize revenues from a sale.

Previous wording

We report, on a supplemental basis, contract sales for our Vacation Ownership segment. Contract sales consist of the total amount of vacation ownership product sales under contract signed during the period where we have generally received a down payment of at least ten percent of the contract price, reduced by actual rescissions during the period, inclusive of contracts associated with sales of vacation ownership products on behalf of third parties, which we refer to as “resales contract sales.” In circumstances where a customer applies any or all of their existing ownership interests as part of the purchase price for additional interests (also referred to as an equity upgrade), we include only the incremental value purchased as contract sales. Contract sales differ from revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products that we report on our income statements due to the requirements for revenue recognition described above. We consider contract sales to be an important operating measure because it reflects the pace of sales in our business.

Cost of vacation ownership products includes costs to acquire, develop and construct our projects (also known as real estate inventory costs), other non-capitalizable costs associated with the overall project development process and settlement expenses associated with the closing process. For each project, we expense real estate inventory costs in the same proportion as the revenue recognized. Consistent with the applicable accounting guidance, to the extent there is a change in the estimated sales revenues or inventory costs for the project in a period, a non-cash adjustment is recorded on our income statements to true up costs in that period to those that would have been recorded historically if the revised estimates had been used. These true-ups, which we refer to as product cost true-up activity, can have a positive or negative impact on our income statements.

We offer financing to qualified customers for the purchase of most types of our vacation ownership products. The typical financing agreement provides for monthly payments of principal and interest with the principal balance of the loan fully amortizing over the term of the related vacation ownership note receivable, which is generally ten to fifteen years. While we adjust interest rates on our financing programs from time to time, such changes are typically not made in lockstep with the timing and magnitude of changes in broader market rates. We may use incentives to encourage our customers to choose our financing. Included within our vacation ownership notes receivable are originated vacation ownership notes receivable and vacation ownership notes receivable acquired in connection with the ILG Acquisition and the Welk Acquisition.

In the event of a default, we generally have the right to foreclose on or revoke the underlying VOI. We return VOIs that we reacquire through foreclosure or revocation back to inventory. As discussed above, for originated vacation ownership notes receivable, we record a reserve at the time of sale and classify the reserve as a reduction to revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products on our Income Statements. Revisions to estimates that result in decreases or increases to the reserve for originated vacation ownership notes receivable can increase or decrease revenues, respectively. In contrast, for acquired vacation ownership notes receivable, we record changes to the reserve as an adjustment to Financing expenses on our Income Statements.

In our Vacation Ownership segment, we operate a rental business to provide owner flexibility and to help mitigate carrying costs associated with our inventory. We obtain rental inventory and generate revenue from rentals of inventory that we hold for sale as interests in our vacation ownership programs, inventory that we control because our owners have elected alternative usage options permitted under our vacation ownership programs and rentals of unregistered inventory and owned-hotel properties. We also recognize rental revenue from the utilization of plus points at redemption for rental stays at one of our resorts or other third-party offerings. For rental revenues associated with vacation ownership products which we own and which are registered and held for sale, to the extent that the revenues from rental are less than costs, revenues are reported net in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 978, “Real Estate - Time-Sharing Activities” (“ASC 978”). The rental activity associated with discounted vacation packages requiring a tour (“preview stays”) is not included in transient rental metrics, and because the majority of these preview stays are sourced directly or indirectly from unsold inventory, the associated revenues and expenses are reported net in Marketing and sales expense.

Rental metrics, including the average daily transient rate or the number of transient keys rented, may not be comparable between periods given fluctuation in available occupancy by location, unit size (such as two bedroom, one bedroom or studio unit), owner use and exchange behavior, rental inventory on hand and keys allocated for preview stays. In addition, rental metrics may not correlate with rental revenues due to the requirement to report certain rental revenues net of rental expenses in accordance with ASC 978 (as discussed above). Further, as our ability to rent certain inventory may be limited on a site-by-site basis, rental operations may not generate adequate rental revenues to cover associated costs. Our Vacation Ownership segment units are either “full villas” or “lock-off” villas. Lock-off villas are units that can be separated into a primary unit and a guest room. Full villas are “non-lock-off” villas because they cannot be separated. A “key” is the lowest increment for reporting occupancy statistics based upon the mix of non-lock-off and lock-off villas. Lock-off villas represent two keys and non-lock-off villas represent one key. The “transient keys” metric represents the blended mix of inventory available for rent and includes all of the combined inventory configurations available in our resort system.

Cost reimbursements include direct and indirect costs that are reimbursed to us by owners’ associations and customers under management contracts. All costs reimbursed to us by owners’ associations and customers, with the exception of taxes assessed by a governmental authority, are reported on a gross basis. We recognize cost reimbursements when we incur the related reimbursable costs. Cost reimbursements consist of actual expenses with no added margin.

Current wording

Cost reimbursements include direct and indirect costs that are reimbursed to us by owners’ associations and customers under management contracts, which costs are principally payroll-related costs at the locations where we employ the associates providing on-site services, costs associated with property refurbishments (including those where we act as the project manager), and insurance costs. All costs reimbursed to us by owners’ associations and customers, with the exception of taxes assessed by a governmental authority, are reported on a gross basis. We recognize cost reimbursements when we incur the related reimbursable costs. Cost reimbursements consist of actual expenses with no added margin.

•Volume per guest (“VPG”) is calculated by dividing consolidated vacation ownership contract sales, excluding fractional sales, telesales, resales, and other sales that are not attributed to a sales tour (referred to as Tours, see below), by the number of tours in a given period. We believe that VPG is valuable in evaluating the effectiveness of the sales process as it combines the impact of average contract price with the number of touring guests who make a purchase.

Current wording

•Volume per guest (“VPG”) is calculated as consolidated vacation ownership contract sales, excluding fractional sales, telesales, resales, and other sales that are not attributed to a sales tour (collectively, “Tours”) divided by the number of Tours conducted during the applicable period. We believe that VPG is a key driver of profitability as it reflects both the average contract price and the effectiveness of converting touring guests into purchasers.

Previous wording

•Tours is the number of sales tours performed during the applicable period, and generally includes virtual and offsite sales tours, and excludes telesales. We believe that Tours is a valuable metric because it represents the volume of touring guests.

Previous wording

•Development profit margin is calculated by dividing Development profit by revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products. We refer to revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products less the cost of vacation ownership products and marketing and sales costs as Development profit. We believe that Development profit margin is an important measure of the profitability of our development and subsequent marketing and sales of VOIs.

Current wording

•Development profit margin is calculated as Development profit divided by revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products. Development profit represents revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products, net of the cost of vacation ownership products and related marketing and sales costs. We believe that Development profit margin is a key indicator of the profitability of our development activities and the effectiveness of its associated marketing and sales efforts.

•Total active members represents the number of active members of the Interval Network active members as of the end of the applicable period. We consider this metric to be an important indicator of the size of the member base eligible to transact within the Interval Network.

Previous wording

•Average revenue per member is calculated by dividing membership fee revenue, transaction revenue, rental revenue, and other member revenue for the Interval Network by the monthly weighted average number of Interval Network active members during the applicable period. We believe this metric is valuable in measuring the overall engagement of our Interval Network active members.

Current wording

•Average revenue per member is calculated by dividing membership fee revenue, transaction revenue, rental revenue, and other member revenue generated by the Interval Network by the monthly weighted average number of active members of the Interval Network during the applicable period. We believe this metric is a meaningful indicator of member engagement.

•Segment financial results attributable to common stockholders represents revenues less expenses directly attributable to each applicable reportable business segment (Vacation Ownership and Exchange & Third-Party Management). We consider this measure to be important in evaluating the performance of our reportable business segments. See Footnote 20 “Business Segments” to our Financial Statements for further information about our reportable business segments.

Previous wording

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 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, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin 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 consider Adjusted EBITDA margin to be an indicator of our operating profitability. We also use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, as do analysts, lenders, investors, and others, because these measures exclude 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, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin 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 and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful as indicators of operating performance and profitability, respectively, because they allow for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing core operations before the impact of the excluded items. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin also facilitate comparisons by us, analysts, investors, and others of results from our ongoing core operations before the impact of these items with results from other companies.

Current wording

EBITDA, a financial measure that is not prescribed by GAAP, is defined as earnings, or net income or loss 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. During the first quarter of 2025, we began excluding amortization of cloud computing software implementation costs, which are not included in depreciation and amortization, from Adjusted EBITDA for comparability purposes to address the considerable variability among companies in the utilization of productive assets, and have reclassified prior year amounts to conform with our current year presentation.

We intend to modernize and optimize our processes and systems, including through advanced technology and automation, while focusing on efforts to increase sales efficiency and inventory optimization while capturing significant savings from initiatives related to procurement and corporate overhead. We believe that we can drive $150 million to $200 million of run rate benefits from these initiatives by the end of 2026, with half coming from cost savings and efficiencies with the balance from accelerating revenue growth. We expect to incur one-time costs related to these initiatives of approximately $100 million in each of 2025 and 2026 to enhance our customer platforms, products and services to achieve these benefits. We also expect additional savings that will benefit our owners’ maintenance fees. During 2024, we incurred $4 million of severance costs and $4 million of other costs associated with these efforts.
