Marriott Vacations Worldwide Reports First Quarter 2012 Financial Results

May 3, 2012

ORLANDO, Fla., May 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: VAC), the leading global pure-play vacation ownership company, reported first quarter 2012 financial results and reaffirmed the company's full-year outlook for 2012 based upon positive trends in important North America metrics to date.

First Quarter 2012 highlights include:

  • North America segment gross contract sales increased 18 percent to $130 million.
  • Volume per guest (VPG) in the North America segment increased 18 percent year-over-year to $2,942.
  • Total gross contract sales increased 6 percent to $154 million.
  • Total revenues were $372 million, including $146 million from rentals, resort management and other services and financing.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization), as adjusted for organizational and separation related costs totaled $29 million
  • Real estate inventory balance declined by $27 million in the first quarter.
  • Adjusted fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) in the first quarter was $0.27.

First quarter 2012 reported net income totaled $9 million, or $0.24 a share, compared to reported net income of $19 million in the first quarter of 2011. First quarter 2012 adjusted net income totaled $10 million, flat to adjusted net income on a pro forma basis for the first quarter of 2011. Adjustments are shown on schedule A-1 and described in further detail on schedule A-11. First quarter 2012 adjusted results exclude $2 million of pre-tax organizational and separation related costs. First quarter 2011 adjusted results include $17 million of pre-tax pro forma adjustments to reflect the company's position as if it were a standalone, public company since the beginning of 2011 rather than from the actual spin-off date in November 2011, as well as $2 million of legal related charges and severance costs.

"We're pleased to report our first full quarter as a newly independent company shows 2012 is off to a strong start. Double-digit growth in both VPG and contract sales in North America demonstrated solid marketing and sales execution," said Stephen P. Weisz, president and chief executive officer. "We also made significant progress toward improving our margin on the sale of vacation ownership products, or what we call development margin, and are well on our way toward our targeted development margin of over 12 percent for the year. This demonstrates the leverage in our business model and the progress we have made on this key strategic initiative." 

Weisz continued, "Our contract sales growth in North America underscores the strong value proposition of our Marriott Vacation Club Destinations program. Coupled with our focus on our cost structure, we are confident in the outlook for the balance of 2012. Given our first quarter growth came from North America, our largest and most profitable segment, we believe it is more likely that we will perform toward the higher end of our 2012 guidance range."

First Quarter 2012 Results

For the first quarter, which ended March 23, 2012, total revenues were $372 million, including $86 million in cost reimbursements. Total revenues increased $1 million from the 2011 first quarter reflecting higher rental revenues, cost reimbursements and resort management and other services revenues. These increases were partially offset by lower revenue from the sale of vacation ownership products primarily due to revenue reportability and lower financing revenues from lower interest income on a declining notes receivable portfolio.

While company-owned gross contract sales increased $13 million in the first quarter, revenue from the sale of vacation ownership products of $134 million declined 6 percent from the prior year quarter due to $20 million of revenue reportability and $2 million of higher notes receivable reserve activity resulting primarily from higher contract sales volumes. The $20 million of revenue reportability was driven by $9 million of favorable revenue reportability in the first quarter of 2011, due to year-end 2010 sales associated with the launch of the company's Marriott Vacation Club Destinations program that were recognized during the first quarter of 2011, and $11 million of unfavorable revenue reportability in the current year quarter from strong contract sales growth that resulted in an increase in contract sales in rescission periods at the end of the quarter. The impact of revenue reportability on the first quarter results for both 2012 and 2011 is illustrated on schedules A-7 (total company) and A-8 (North America) attached.

Total gross contract sales, excluding the impact of contract cancellation allowances and reversals, totaled $154 million, a 6 percent increase from $145 million in gross contract sales in the first quarter of 2011, driven by an 18 percent increase in contract sales in the North America segment, partially offset by lower contract sales in the Europe, Luxury and Asia Pacific segments. Revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products, net of expenses, were $12 million, $5 million lower than the first quarter of 2011 on an adjusted basis and $3 million lower than the first quarter of 2011 on an as reported basis, primarily from the impact of revenue reportability. 

Rental revenues totaled $56 million, a 14 percent increase from the first quarter of 2011, reflecting higher demand for rental inventory with transient keys rented up 4 percent company-wide. Combined with higher revenues from Plus Points, one time use points provided as incentives, the company generated $8 million of rental revenue net of expenses, a $6 million increase from the first quarter of 2011.  

Resort management and other services revenues totaled $54 million, a 6 percent increase over the 2011 period, reflecting higher management fees, higher annual club dues in connection with the company's Marriott Vacation Club Destinations program and higher ancillary revenues from food and beverage and golf operations. The company generated $10 million of resort management and other services revenues, net of expenses, a $3 million increase from the first quarter of 2011. 

Adjusted net income of $10 million was flat in the first quarter of 2012 compared to adjusted net income on a pro forma basis of $10 million in the first quarter of 2011.   

Adjusted EBITDA, as adjusted for organizational and separation related costs, was $29 million in the first quarter of 2012, an increase of $1 million from Adjusted EBITDA on an as adjusted pro forma basis of $28 million in the 2011 quarter. First quarter 2012 reported net income totaled $9 million compared to reported net income of $19 million in the first quarter of 2011.   

Segment Results

North America

Total North America contract sales increased $20 million, or 18 percent, to $130 million. VPG increased 18 percent to $2,942 in the first quarter of 2012 from $2,493 in the first quarter of 2011, driven by across the board improvements in closing efficiency, price and volume per contract.

First quarter 2012 North America segment results increased $6 million to $72 million from $66 million in adjusted segment results on a pro forma basis in the first quarter of 2011. The increase was primarily driven by $5 million of higher rental revenues net of expenses, $4 million of higher resort management and other services revenues net of expenses and $1 million of higher other revenues net of expenses.  These increases were partially offset by $4 million of lower financing revenues net of expenses from a declining notes receivable portfolio. North America segment reported financial results increased to $72 million in the first quarter of 2012, $4 million higher than the first quarter of 2011.

Asia Pacific

Asia Pacific contract sales declined $2 million to $13 million. Total revenues in this segment declined $2 million to $18 million reflecting lower revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products. As a result, first quarter 2012 segment results were $1 million, $2 million lower than the first quarter of 2011.

Luxury and Europe

As inventory in the Luxury and Europe segments continues to decline, consistent with the strategy stated for these segments, first quarter 2012 gross contract sales declined to $11 million. Adjusted segment results for Luxury and Europe declined $1 million to a loss of $4 million in the first quarter of 2012.  Luxury and Europe combined segment reported financial results improved $1 million to a loss of $4 million in the first quarter of 2012. 

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

On March 23, 2012, cash and cash equivalents totaled $77 million. During the 2012 first quarter, real estate inventory balances declined $27 million to $926 million, including $519 million of finished goods, $115 million of work-in-process and $292 million of land and infrastructure. The company had $774 million in corporate level debt outstanding at quarter-end, a decline of $76 million from year-end 2011, including $662 million in non-recourse securitized notes receivable and $109 million drawn on its $300 million warehouse credit facility. In addition, the company had $195 million in available capacity under its revolving credit facility. Given the amount of cash on hand, the company did not draw down on its warehouse credit facility during the quarter and had $79 million of notes that were eligible for securitization on March 23, 2012.

Outlook

For the full year 2012, the company is reaffirming its guidance previously provided on March 15, 2012 as follows:

  • Total gross contract sales growth of 4 percent to 8 percent
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $115 million to $125 million
  • Net income of $37 million to $43 million
  • Fully diluted earnings per share of $1.03 to $1.17
  • Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $85 million to $100 million

See schedule A-11 for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted free cash flow and other non-GAAP financial measures.

A-11


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 or authorized by United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").  We discuss management's reasons for reporting these non-GAAP measures below, and the press release schedules reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP measure to each non-GAAP measure that we refer to (identified by a double asterisk ("**") on the preceding pages).  Although management evaluates and presents these non-GAAP measures for the reasons described below, please be aware that these non-GAAP measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenues, net income, 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 measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.

 

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income.   Management evaluates non-GAAP measures that exclude other charges incurred in the 12 weeks ended March 23, 2012 and March 25, 2011 and include pro forma adjustments for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2011 to reflect results as if the company were a standalone public company in such period, because those non-GAAP measures allow for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of material charges.  These non-GAAP measures also facilitate management's comparison of results from our on-going operations before material charges with results from other vacation ownership companies.

 

    Other Charges - 2012.  In our first quarter Statements of Operations we recorded $2 million of pre-tax charges for organizational and separation related costs under the "General and administrative" caption.

 

    Other Charges - 2011.  In our first quarter Statements of Operations we recorded $2 million of pre-tax charges comprised of $1 million of severance costs under the "Marketing and sales" caption and $1 million of legal related charges under the "Cost of vacation ownership products" caption.

 

    Pro Forma Adjustments - 2011.  In our first quarter Statement of Operations we included $17 million of pre-tax pro forma adjustments comprised of $14 million of royalty fees, $2 million of interest expense and $1 million of dividends on preferred stock. 

 

Adjusted Sales of Vacation Ownership Products Net of Expenses.  Management also evaluates Adjusted Sales of Vacation Ownership Products Net of Expenses as an indicator of operating performance.  Our Adjusted Sales of Vacation Ownership Products Net of Expenses adjusts Sales of vacation ownership products revenues for the revenue recognition reportability impact, and includes corresponding adjustments to both the Costs of vacation ownership products expense and the Marketing and sales expense associated with the change in revenues from the Sales of vacation ownership products, net.  We evaluate Adjusted Sales of Vacation Ownership Products Net of Expenses because it allows for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing core operations before the impact reportability has on our Sales of vacation ownership products net of expenses.

 

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA").  EBITDA, a financial measure which is not prescribed or authorized by GAAP, reflects earnings excluding the impact of interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We consider EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance, and we use it to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand our business. We also use EBITDA, as do analysts, lenders, investors and others, because it excludes 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 also excludes 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.

MARRIOTT VACATIONS WORLDWIDE CORPORATION
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (cont.)




Adjusted EBITDA.   We also evaluate Adjusted EBITDA as an indicator of performance. Our Adjusted EBITDA includes the impact of interest expense associated with the debt from the Warehouse Credit Facility and from the securitization of our notes receivable in the term asset-backed securities ("ABS") market, which together we refer to as consumer financing interest expense. We deduct consumer financing interest expense in determining Adjusted EBITDA since the debt is secured by notes receivable that have been sold to bankruptcy remote special purpose entities and is generally non-recourse to us or to our business. We evaluate Adjusted EBITDA, which adjusts for this item, to allow for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing core operations. Adjusted EBITDA is also useful in measuring our ability to service our non-securitized debt. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA facilitate our comparison of results from our ongoing operations with results from other vacation ownership companies. 

 

Adjusted EBITDA as adjusted and Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA as adjusted.  Management also evaluates Adjusted EBITDA as adjusted and Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA as adjusted, which reflect adjustments for other charges incurred in the 12 weeks ended March 23, 2012 and March 25, 2011 and include pro forma adjustments for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2011, as itemized in our Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations explanation on page A-11.  We evaluate Adjusted EBITDA as adjusted and Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA as adjusted as indicators of operating performance because they allow for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing core operations before the impact of material charges and reflect results as if we were a stand alone public company in such period.

 

Free Cash Flow.  Management also evaluates Free Cash Flow as a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash provided by operating activities after capital expenditures for property and equipment.  Management considers Free Cash Flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that can be used for strategic opportunities, including making acquisitions and strengthening the balance sheet.  Analysis of Free Cash Flow also facilitates management's comparison of the Company's results to its competitors' results.  

 

Adjusted Free Cash Flow.  Management also evaluates Adjusted Free Cash Flow as a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash provided by operating activities after capital expenditures for property and equipment as well as the net activity related to our securitizations and our warehouse facility.  Management considers Adjusted Free Cash Flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that can be used for strategic opportunities, including making acquisitions and strengthening the balance sheet.  Analysis of Adjusted Free Cash Flow also facilitates management's comparison of the Company's results to its competitors' results.
