Vacation Ownership

Consolidated contract sales increased year-over-year driven by higher tours. Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased compared to the prior year driven by higher development, resort management and rental profit, partially offset by lower financing profit.

Exchange & Third-Party Management

Revenues excluding cost reimbursements and Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased year-over-year due to lower exchange revenue at Interval International and reduced management fees at Aqua-Aston.
