Marriott Vacations Worldwide (‘MVW’) Reports Third Quarter Financial Results

ORLANDO, FL, November 4, 2019 – Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: VAC) today reported third quarter financial results.

In addition to a discussion of the third quarter reported results presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (‘GAAP’), to provide a more meaningful year-over-year comparison of financial results, the company is providing third quarter 2018 financial information in the financial schedules that follow that combine the third quarter reported 2018 financial results of the company with the financial results for the first two months of the 2018 third quarter for the brands and businesses acquired by the company in its acquisition of ILG, Inc. (‘ILG’) in September 2018, conformed to the current year presentations.

Third Quarter 2019 Highlights:

  • Consolidated vacation ownership contract sales increased 40% to $390 million.
    • On a combined basis, consolidated vacation ownership contract sales increased nearly 5%. After adjusting for a $7 million adverse impact from Hurricane Dorian (the ‘Hurricane’), sales would have increased 6.5%.
  • Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $9 million, or $0.21 loss per fully diluted share (‘EPS’), compared to net loss attributable to common shareholders of $36 million, or $1.08 loss per fully diluted share, in the third quarter of 2018.
  • Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders increased 83% to $86 million and Adjusted fully diluted EPS increased 39% to $1.97.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 89% to $190 million in the third quarter of 2019.
    • On a combined basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased 18% and would have increased 21% excluding VRI Europe, which was disposed of in the fourth quarter of 2018.
    • The company estimates that the Hurricane negatively impacted its third quarter Adjusted EBITDA by $1 million and expects the 2019 full-year impact to be $4 million.
  • The company received $38 million of insurance proceeds during the quarter related to business interruption losses at its Westin St. John property. These proceeds have been excluded from the company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow.
  • Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the company completed a $315 million note securitization at a blended interest rate of 2.29 percent and a 98 percent advance rate.
  • The company repurchased over 1.3 million shares of its common stock for $127 million in the third quarter of 2019 at an average price per share of $97.06.
    • Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the company repurchased an additional 431 thousand shares of its common stock for $46 million bringing its year-to-date share repurchases to 4.1 million shares, or $388 million.
  • The company updated its 2019 guidance primarily to reflect the impact of the Hurricane.

‘I’m very excited about the improvements we’ve been able to drive at the acquired vacation ownership brands contributing to our 18% Adjusted EBITDA growth in the third quarter on a combined basis,’ said Stephen P. Weisz, president and chief executive officer. ‘The third quarter also marked the one-year anniversary of the ILG acquisition and the integration continues to progress nicely, which enabled us to recently increase our run-rate synergy target to $125 million by the end of 2021.’

Third Quarter 2019 Segment Results

Vacation Ownership

Revenues excluding cost reimbursements increased 43% in the third quarter driven by a 40% increase in consolidated vacation ownership contract sales. On a combined basis, revenues excluding cost reimbursements increased 4% with consolidated contract sales increasing nearly 5%. Contract sales in the quarter were adversely impacted by $7 million due to the Hurricane.

Vacation Ownership segment financial results were $100 million for the third quarter of 2019. On a combined basis, Vacation Ownership segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 11% to $195 million in the third quarter and margin improved 180 basis points, excluding cost reimbursements.

Exchange & Third-Party Management

Exchange & Third-Party Management revenues totaled $112 million in the third quarter of 2019. Interval International average revenue per member increased 2% to $40.89 and active members totaled 1.7 million at the end of the third quarter of 2019.

Exchange & Third-Party Management segment financial results and Adjusted EBITDA were $46 million and $56 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2019. On a combined basis, Exchange & Third-Party Management segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased 7% after adjusting 2018 to exclude VRI Europe.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other results, which consist primarily of general and administrative costs, decreased $19 million in the third quarter of 2019 as a result of synergy savings and lower compensation related expenses, partially offset by normal inflationary cost increases.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

On September 30, 2019, cash and cash equivalents totaled $183 million. The inventory balance at the end of the third quarter included $840 million of finished goods and $59 million of work-in-progress. The company had $4.0 billion in debt outstanding, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, at the end of the third quarter. This debt included $2.3 billion of corporate debt and $1.7 billion of non-recourse debt related to the company’s securitized notes receivable.

As of September 30, 2019, the company had $372 million in available capacity under its revolving credit facility.

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the company completed a $315 million note securitization at a blended interest rate of 2.29 percent and a 98 percent advance rate.

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the company issued $350 million of 4.750% senior notes due in 2028 and redeemed its 5.625% senior notes due in 2023 and repaid a portion of its outstanding borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility.

Proceeds from Asset Dispositions

As a result of the ILG Acquisition, the company performed a comprehensive review of its Vacation Ownership property and equipment including undeveloped parcels, future phases of existing resorts, operating hotels and other non-core assets, to determine the best strategic direction with respect to these assets. As a result of the review, the company currently expects proceeds from future asset dispositions to be between $160 million and $220 million.

2019 Hurricane Impact

During the third quarter of 2019, several properties in the company’s Vacation Ownership segment were negatively impacted by the Hurricane. As a result of mandatory evacuations, resort and sales center shutdowns, and cancellations of reservations and scheduled tours, the company estimates contract sales in the third quarter were adversely impacted by $7 million. In addition, the company estimates full year 2019 Adjusted EBITDA to be adversely impacted by roughly $4 million, of which $1 million related to the third quarter of 2019.
