Marriott Vacations Worldwide (“MVW”) Reports Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
ORLANDO, Fla. – July 28, 2021 – Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: VAC) today reported second quarter 2021 financial results.
“Today, more than ever, people want to vacation to see new places, reunite with family and friends, or just to relax, and the products we offer, with extra square footage in a resort setting, are resonating with them, translating into higher occupancies and strong first time buyer growth,” said Stephen P. Weisz, chief executive officer. “Contract sales in the second quarter grew 60% sequentially to $362 million and Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled compared to the first quarter. With the recovery in full swing, we've been able to turn our focus back towards the digitally enabled growth initiatives we have in front of us to transform our business, drive long-term growth and improve margins.”
On April 1, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of Welk Resorts for $405 million, including approximately 1.4 million shares of its common stock. The financial results for Welk Resorts for the second quarter of 2021 are included in the Company’s financial results.
Second Quarter 2021 Highlights and Operational Update:
•Consolidated Vacation Ownership contract sales totaled $362 million in the second quarter of 2021, with VPG 30% higher than the second quarter of 2019.
•Net income attributable to common shareholders was $6 million, or $0.15 fully diluted earnings per share.
•Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders was $37 million and adjusted fully diluted earnings per share was $0.85.
•Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled on a sequential basis to $164 million in the second quarter of 2021.
•The Company completed a securitization of timeshare receivables, issuing $434 million of notes at an overall average weighted interest rate of 1.5% and a 98% gross advance rate, the lowest interest rate ever achieved by a MVW 144A securitization, generating net proceeds of $425 million.
•After the repayment of $500 million of its 6.5% Senior Notes due 2026 following the end of the quarter, the Company had pro forma liquidity of nearly $1.5 billion, including unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $780 million.
•With recovery in the business expected to continue, the Company projects contract sales of $380 million to $410 million in the third quarter of 2021, a sequential increase of 9% at the mid-point.

Second Quarter 2021 Segment Results
Vacation Ownership
Revenues excluding cost reimbursements increased 189% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year and increased 52% from the first quarter of 2021 as the business continued to recover. Compared to the first quarter, revenue from the sale of vacation ownership products increased 82% and Development profit margin increased to 22%. Excluding the impact of revenue reportability, Adjusted development profit more than doubled sequentially to $81 million, with Adjusted development profit margin increasing nearly 570 basis points to 26%, approximately 240 basis points above second quarter 2019 levels.
Vacation Ownership segment financial results were $151 million in the second quarter of 2021 and segment Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled on a sequential basis to $182 million, with Adjusted EBITDA margin in line with second quarter 2019 despite lower revenue.
Exchange & Third-Party Management
Revenues excluding cost reimbursements increased 56% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year and was largely unchanged compared to the first quarter. Interval International exchange volumes increased 13% compared to the prior year but decreased 22% on a sequential basis largely due to normal seasonality and were only down 1% compared to second quarter 2019. Active members declined 11% compared to the first quarter to 1.3 million, primarily due to the non-renewal of one of Interval’s corporate customers which the Company announced in February of 2021. Average revenue per member increased 54% compared to the prior year and was up 7% compared to the second quarter of 2019.
Exchange & Third-Party Management segment financial results were $27 million in the second quarter of 2021 and, as expected, segment Adjusted EBITDA declined $4 million sequentially to $37 million, with Adjusted EBITDA margin 245 basis points higher than second quarter 2019.
Corporate and Other
General and administrative costs increased $47 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year as a result of higher net overall spending as operations continue to ramp-up, reinstating compensation plans following 2020, and a lower credit in the current year related to incentives under the CARES Act for companies who continued paying associates' benefit costs while not working as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
On June 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.3 billion. In the second quarter of 2021, the Company issued $500 million of 4.5% Senior Notes maturing in 2029 and used the proceeds in early July to repay $500 million of its $750 million 6.5% Senior Notes. Pro forma, the Company ended the quarter with $780 million of cash and total liquidity of nearly $1.5 billion, including gross notes receivable eligible for securitization of $97 million.
In the second quarter of 2021, the Company completed a securitization of timeshare receivables, issuing $434 million of notes at an overall average weighted interest rate of 1.5% and a 98% gross advance rate, the lowest interest rate ever achieved by a MVW 144A securitization, generating net proceeds of $425 million.
The Company had $5.3 billion in debt outstanding, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, at the end of the second quarter of 2021. This included $3.5 billion of corporate debt and $1.8 billion of non-recourse debt related to its securitized notes receivable.

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 development profit and Adjusted development profit margin, that exclude certain items in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 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 the 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 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 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.
