Marriott Vacations Worldwide ("MVW") Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Financial Results and Provides 2022 Outlook

Feb 23, 2022

ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: VAC) (the "Company") reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2021 and provided guidance for full year 2022.

"We ended the year on a strong note, growing contract sales by 7% sequentially in the fourth quarter to $406 million, exceeding 2019 levels for the first time since the pandemic started," said Stephen P. Weisz, chief executive officer. "If the past two years have proven anything, it's that people appreciate their time with family and friends and want to go on vacations. As a company whose sole purpose is providing travelers great vacation experiences, we couldn't be in a better position. Despite the softness we experienced in January and early February due to Omicron, we expect 2022 full-year contract sales to be 13% higher than 2019 levels and 2022 Adjusted EBITDA to be 17% above 2019 levels, both at the midpoint of the guidance ranges, illustrating the recovery of the business and our synergy efforts."

Fourth Quarter 2021

  • Consolidated Vacation Ownership contract sales increased 7% sequentially to $406 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

  • The Company completed its second securitization of 2021, issuing $425 million of vacation ownership loan backed notes at an average weighted interest rate of 1.64% and a 98% gross advance rate.

Full Year 2021 and 2022 Outlook

Fourth Quarter 2021 Segment Results

Vacation Ownership
Revenues excluding cost reimbursements increased 102% in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year and increased 8% sequentially as occupancies continued to improve. Sale of vacation ownership products was $364 million in the quarter, a 10% improvement over the third quarter of 2021, and rental revenue increased 13% compared to the third quarter of 2021.

Vacation Ownership segment financial results were $205 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, and segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 8% on a sequential basis to $234 million, with segment Adjusted EBITDA margin expanding approximately 130 basis points compared to 2019.

Exchange & Third-Party Management
Revenues excluding cost reimbursements increased 8% in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year and decreased 6% sequentially. Interval International active members declined 1% compared to the third quarter of 2021 to 1.3 million and Average revenue per member was largely unchanged on a sequential basis.

Exchange & Third-Party Management segment financial results were $22 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, and segment Adjusted EBITDA was $31 million.

Corporate and Other
General and administrative costs increased $19 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year as a result of higher salary and wages costs, higher bonus expense, higher legal spending, and a decrease in credits related to incentives under the CARES Act. On a sequential basis, Corporate and Other remained relatively unchanged.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

The Company ended the year with approximately $1.1 billion in liquidity, including $342 million of cash and cash equivalents, $113 million of gross notes receivable that were eligible for securitization, and $598 million of available capacity under its revolving credit facility.

The Company had $4.5 billion in debt outstanding, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, at the end of the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of $219 million from year-end 2020. This debt included $2.6 billion of corporate debt and $1.9 billion of non-recourse debt related to its securitized notes receivable.

The Company completed its second securitization of 2021, issuing $425 million of vacation ownership loan backed notes at an average weighted interest rate of 1.64% and a 98% gross advance rate. Of the $425 million in total proceeds from the transaction, approximately $107 million was used to repay all outstanding amounts previously drawn under its Warehouse Credit Facility, approximately $8 million was used to pay transaction expenses and fund required reserves, and the remaining proceeds are being used for general corporate purposes.

(1) Amounts included in Corporate and other represent the impact of the consolidation of certain owners' associations under the
relevant accounting guidance, which represents the portion related to individual or third-party vacation ownership interest ("VOI") owners.

(2) The Company previously used the term Development margin to refer to revenues from the Sale of vacation ownership products
less the Cost of vacation ownership products and marketing and sales costs. Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, the Company now
refers to this financial measure as Development Profit. While the calculation remains unchanged, the Company believes the revised
term better depicts the financial results being presented.

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 or loss attributable to common shareholders, earnings or loss per share or any other comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do or may not calculate them at all, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

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

We evaluate non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted pretax income or loss, Adjusted net income or loss attributable to common shareholders, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted segment EBITDA, Adjusted development profit and Adjusted development profit margin, that exclude certain items in the quarters and fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and believe these measures provide useful information to investors 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.

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

We evaluate Adjusted development profit (Adjusted sale of vacation ownership products, net of expenses) and Adjusted development profit margin as indicators of operating performance. Adjusted development profit and Adjusted development profit margin adjust Sale of vacation ownership products revenues for the impact of revenue reportability, includes corresponding adjustments to Cost of vacation ownership products associated with the change in revenues from the Sale of vacation ownership products, and may include adjustments for certain items as itemized on A-8, as necessary. We evaluate Adjusted development profit and Adjusted development profit margin and believe it provides useful information to investors 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 profit and Development profit margin.

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

EBITDA, a financial measure that is not prescribed by GAAP, is defined as earnings, or net income or loss attributable to common shareholders, before interest expense (excluding consumer financing interest expense associated with term loan securitization transactions), income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA reflects additional adjustments for certain items, as itemized in the discussion of Adjusted EBITDA in the preceding pages, 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 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 Adjusted EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance, which we use to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand our business. We also use Adjusted EBITDA, as do analysts, lenders, investors and others, because this measure 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. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful 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. Adjusted EBITDA also facilitates comparison by us, analysts, investors, and others, of results from our on-going core operations before the impact of these items with results from other vacation companies.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We evaluate Adjusted EBITDA margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin as indicators of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by the Company's total revenues less cost reimbursement revenues. Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by the applicable segment's total revenues less cost reimbursement revenues. We evaluate Adjusted EBITDA margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin and believe it provides useful information to investors because it allows for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations.

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow

We evaluate Free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow as liquidity measures that provide useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash provided by operating activities after capital expenditures for property and equipment and the borrowing and repayment activity related to our securitizations, which cash can be used for, among other purposes, strategic opportunities, including acquisitions and strengthening the balance sheet. Adjusted free cash flow, which reflects additional adjustments to Free cash flow for the impact of transaction and integration charges, impact of borrowings available from the securitization of eligible vacation ownership notes receivable, and changes in restricted cash, allows for period-over-period comparisons of the cash generated by our business before the impact of these items. Analysis of Free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow also facilitates management's comparison of our results with our competitors' results.
