ORLANDO, Fla., July 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: VAC) today reported second quarter 2020 financial results and provided an update on business conditions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The COVID-19 pandemic continues to severely impact our business and create nearer term uncertainty," said Stephen P. Weisz, president and chief executive officer. "However, beginning in late May, we saw our resort occupancies quickly build in states where restrictions had been lifted, illustrating the resilience of our customers and our leisure-focused business model.  With occupancies returning, we have already reopened approximately 70% of our sales centers and are very encouraged as sales start to return. With results improving, we now expect cash flow in the second half of the year to be positive."

Second Quarter 2020 Highlights and Operational Update:

• Consolidated Vacation Ownership contract sales totaled $30 million in the second quarter of 2020.
• Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $70 million, or $1.68 loss per fully diluted share.
• Adjusted net loss attributable to common shareholders was $72 million and Adjusted fully diluted loss per share was $1.76.
• Adjusted EBITDA reflected a loss of $10 million in the second quarter of 2020.
• Cash and cash equivalents totaled $566 million at the end of the second quarter of 2020 and the Company had nearly all of its capacity available under its $600 million Revolving Corporate Credit Facility.
• Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company completed a securitization of timeshare receivables, issuing $375 million of notes at an overall weighted average interest rate of 2.53% and a 98% gross advance rate, generating net proceeds of $53 million after payoff of the Company's Warehouse Credit Facility and required expenses.

Second Quarter 2020 Segment Results

Vacation Ownership

Revenues excluding cost reimbursements decreased 69% in the second quarter of 2020. Growth in management fees and financing revenue was offset by a 92% decline in contract sales and a 91% decrease in rental revenues due to substantially lower resort occupancies resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Vacation Ownership segment financial results were a loss of $34 million in the second quarter of 2020. Vacation Ownership segment Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $19 million in the second quarter of 2020.

Exchange & Third-Party Management

Exchange & Third-Party Management revenues decreased 50% in the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to lower exchange and rental transactions due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its Interval International business. Interval International average revenue per member decreased 30% to $30.17 compared to the prior year and active members declined 7% to 1.6 million.

Exchange & Third-Party Management segment financial results were $14 million for the second quarter of 2020. Exchange & Third-Party Management segment Adjusted EBITDA was $19 million in the second quarter of 2020.

Corporate and Other

General and administrative costs improved $45 million in the second quarter of 2020 related mainly to synergy savings and lower costs associated with the furlough and reduced work week programs, including reduced salary related costs, as well as a $6 million credit available under the CARES Act legislation, which incentivized companies to continue paying associates' benefit costs while not working.

Operational Update to COVID - 19

The Company has begun reopening its resorts and sales centers.

• In its vacation ownership business, eight of the Company's sales centers were open as of the end of the second quarter of 2020 with an additional 34 sales centers having since re-opened;
• In its Interval International business, fewer than 240 resorts remain closed today;
• The Company has 40% of its associates still on furlough and 16% on reduced work week or reduced pay. Of the associates who have returned from furlough, 80% are in the resort operations area.
• Share repurchases and dividends continue to be temporarily suspended.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

On June 30, 2020, cash and cash equivalents totaled $566 million and the Company had $47 million of gross notes receivable that are eligible for securitization.

The Company had $4.6 billion in debt outstanding, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, at the end of the second quarter of 2020, an increase of $0.5 billion from year-end 2019. This debt included $2.7 billion of corporate debt and $1.9 billion of non-recourse debt related to its securitized notes receivable.

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company issued $500 million of senior secured notes and repaid the entire outstanding balance on its Revolving Corporate Credit Facility.

Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company completed a securitization of timeshare receivables, issuing $375 million of notes at an overall weighted average interest rate of 2.53% and a 98% gross advance rate, generating net proceeds of $53 million after payoff of the Company's Warehouse Credit Facility and required expenses.

MARRIOTT VACATIONS WORLDWIDE CORPORATION
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 a double 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 shareholders, earnings per share or any other comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated and / or presented differently than measures with the same or similar names that are reported by other companies, and as a result, the non-GAAP financial measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.

Certain Items Excluded from Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Development Margin

We evaluate non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Pretax Income, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Development Margin, that exclude certain items in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, 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 our comparison of results from our on-going core operations before these items with results from other vacation ownership companies.

Certain items - Quarter and First Half Ended June 30, 2020 

Certain items for the second quarter of 2020 consisted of $2 million related to the charge for VAT interest (true-up to the offsetting charge is included in the Interest expense line) and $14 million of gains and other income (including $8 million related to foreign currency translation, $1 million related to a true-up to a Marriott International indemnification receivable upon settlement (true-up to the offsetting accrual is included in the Benefit (provision) for income taxes line), $4 million related to net insurance proceeds from the final settlement of Legacy-MVW business interruption insurance claims arising from a prior year hurricane, and $1 million related to miscellaneous gains and other income), partially offset by $12 million of ILG acquisition-related costs and $1 million of an asset impairment charge.

Certain items for the first half of 2020 consisted of $33 million of ILG acquisition-related costs, $2 million of litigation charges, $42 million of losses and other expense (including $24 million related to foreign currency translation and $32 million related to a true-up to a Marriott International indemnification receivable upon settlement (true-up to the offsetting accrual is included in the Benefit (provision) for income taxes line), partially offset by $4 million related to net insurance proceeds from the final settlement of Legacy-MVW business interruption insurance claims arising from a prior year hurricane, $3 million related to other insurance proceeds, $6 million receivable related to an indemnification from Marriott International for certain VAT charges, and $1 million related to miscellaneous gains and other income), $96 million of impairment charges, $2 million of purchase accounting adjustments, $3 million related to transaction costs related to our asset light inventory arrangements, $48 million other charges (including $37 million related to the net sales reserve adjustment and $11 million related to an accrual for the health and welfare costs for furloughed associates), and $4 million related to the charge for VAT penalties and interest (see offset included in indemnification above).

Certain items - Quarter and First Half Ended June 30, 2019 

Certain items for the second quarter of 2019 consisted of  $36 million of ILG acquisition-related costs, $4 million of purchase price adjustments and $1 million of litigation charges, partially offset by $2 million of gains and other income.

Certain items for the first half of 2019 consisted of $62 million of ILG acquisition-related costs, $26 million of asset impairments, $5 million of purchase accounting adjustments, $2 million of litigation charges and $1 million of other severance costs, partially offset by $10 million of gains and other income.

Adjusted Development Margin (Adjusted Sale of Vacation Ownership Products Net of Expenses)

We evaluate Adjusted Development Margin (Adjusted Sale of Vacation Ownership Products Net of Expenses) as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted Development Margin adjusts Sale of vacation ownership products revenues for the impact of revenue reportability, includes corresponding adjustments to Cost of vacation ownership products expense and Marketing and sales expense associated with the change in revenues from the Sale of vacation ownership products, and may include adjustments for certain items as itemized in the discussion in the preceding paragraph. We evaluate Adjusted Development Margin because it allows for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of revenue reportability and certain items to our Development Margin.

Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as earnings, or net income attributable to common shareholders, before interest expense (excluding consumer financing interest expense associated with term loan securitization transactions), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. For purposes of our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations, we do not adjust for consumer financing interest expense associated with term loan securitization transactions because we consider it to be an operating expense of our business. We consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be indicators of operating performance, which we use to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand our business. We also use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, 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 provision 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. Adjusted EBITDA reflects additional adjustments for certain items, as itemized in the discussion of Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders above, 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. Prior period presentation has been recast for consistency. We evaluate Adjusted EBITDA 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. Together, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA facilitate our comparison of results from our on-going core operations before the impact of these items with results from our competitors.
