Marriott Vacations Worldwide Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

ORLANDO, Fla. – November 1, 2023 – Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: VAC) (“MVW” or the “Company”) reported third quarter 2023 financial results.

Third Quarter 2023 Highlights:

  • Consolidated Vacation Ownership contract sales were $438 million and volume per guest (“VPG”) increased $87 sequentially from the second quarter, or 2%, to $4,055. The Company estimates the Maui wildfires negatively impacted contract sales by $28 million and VPG by approximately $66, or 2%, in the quarter.
  • Net income attributable to common shareholders was $42 million compared to $109 million in the prior year, and fully diluted earnings per share was $1.09.
  • The Company recorded a $59 million charge to its loan loss provision in the third quarter resulting in a $36 million negative impact to Net income attributable to common shareholders and a $49 million negative impact to Adjusted EBITDA.
  • Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders was $48 million and adjusted fully diluted earnings per share was $1.20.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $150 million. The Company estimates the Maui wildfires negatively impacted Adjusted EBITDA by $24 million in the quarter and the increased loan loss provision impacted Adjusted EBITDA by $49 million.
  • The Company repurchased 793,300 shares of its common stock for $86 million during the quarter and declared a $0.72 per share quarterly dividend, which was paid in October.
  • The Company updated its full year outlook.

“We had a difficult quarter between the devastating wildfires in Maui and default rates on our loan portfolio remaining above our recent experience. However, our loan delinquencies are stabilizing and with Maui reopen for tourism we have started to see our resort occupancies recover,” said John Geller, president and chief executive officer. “We’ve also been working hard educating consumers about the benefits of Abound by Marriott Vacations and our salespeople are getting more comfortable selling the new product, which was evident in our results this quarter, with VPG growing sequentially from the prior quarter.”

Third Quarter 2023 Results

On August 8, 2023, a wildfire devastated the area of West Maui. While the Company operates four vacation ownership resorts and sales centers in the area, it did not sustain any physical damage to these resorts and sales centers. However, the Company estimates the Maui wildfires negatively impacted its third quarter contract sales by approximately $28 million, its third quarter Net income attributable to common shareholders by $18 million and its Adjusted EBITDA by $24 million.

In the third quarter of 2022, the Company aligned its contract terms for the sale of its Marriott-, Westin-, and Sheraton-branded vacation ownership products, resulting in the acceleration of revenue from the sale of Marriott-branded vacation ownership interests. In addition, the Company aligned its reserve methodology for vacation ownership notes receivable for these brands, resulting in a decrease in the reserve for the acquired notes offset by an increase in the reserve for the originated notes. Together, these changes were referred to as the “Alignment.”

The tables below illustrate the comparison of the reported results from the third quarter of 2023, as well as adjusted results that reflect the estimated impact of the Maui fires, to the results from the third quarter of 2022, including the impact of the Alignment on the Company’s reported results for that time period. In the tables below “*” denotes non-GAAP financial measures. Please see “NonGAAP Financial Measures” for additional information about our reasons for providing these alternative financial measures and limitations on their use.

Consolidated

Vacation Ownership

Revenues excluding cost reimbursements decreased 17% in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year. The decline was driven by a 9% year-over-year reduction in consolidated contract sales resulting from 7% lower VPG and a 3% decline in tours, and a $59 million increase in its loan loss provision. Adjusted for the estimated $28 million impact of the Maui wildfires, consolidated contract sales would have declined 4% year-over-year, tours would have increased 2% and VPG would have declined 5%.

Segment financial results attributable to common shareholders declined $121 million to $149 million in the third quarter of 2023. Adjusting for the estimated impact from the Maui wildfires and the prior year Alignment benefit:

  • Segment Adjusted EBITDA declined $60 million year-over-year primarily due to lower
    development and rental profit and a $49 million net loan loss impact in the current year.
  • Development profit declined $56 million year-over-year primarily due to a $49 million net loan
    loss impact in the current year and 4% lower contract sales.
  • Rental profit declined $13 million year-over-year primarily due to lower ADR and higher
    inventory costs.
  • Management and exchange profit increased $5 million year-over-year due to higher revenue
    from management fees and club dues.

Exchange & Third-Party Management

Revenues excluding cost reimbursements decreased 7% in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year driven primarily by lower exchange and Getaway volumes. Interval International active members decreased 1% compared to the prior year to 1.6 million and Average revenue per member increased 1% year-over-year.

Segment financial results attributable to common shareholders were $23 million in the third quarter of 2023 and Segment margin was 37%. Adjusted for the estimated $1 million negative impact from the Maui wildfires, Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $31 million and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 50%.

Corporate and Other

General and administrative costs decreased $5 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year primarily as a result of lower variable compensation costs.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

The Company ended the quarter with $1.0 billion in liquidity, including $265 million of cash and cash equivalents, $70 million of gross notes receivable that were eligible for securitization, and $659 million of available capacity under its revolving corporate credit facility.

At the end of the third quarter of 2023, the Company had $3.0 billion of corporate debt and $2.0 billion of non-recourse debt related to its securitized notes receivable.

Full Year 2023 Outlook

While the Company’s resorts in West Maui have reopened, it expects the wildfires to negatively impact its fourth quarter contract sales by approximately $32 to $37 million, its Net income attributable to common shareholders by approximately $19 to $22 million and its Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $26 to $31 million.
