NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.			BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (referred to in this report as (i) “we,” “us,” “Marriott Vacations Worldwide,” “MVW” or “the Company,” which includes our consolidated subsidiaries except where the context of the reference is to a single corporate entity, or (ii) “MVWC,” which shall refer only to Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation, without its consolidated subsidiaries). In order to make this report easier to read, we refer throughout to (i) our Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as our “Financial Statements,” (ii) our Interim Consolidated Statements of Income as our “Income Statements,” (iii) our Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets as our “Balance Sheets,” and (iv) our Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as our “Cash Flows.” In addition, references throughout to numbered “Footnotes” refer to the numbered Notes in these Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, unless otherwise noted. Capitalized terms used and not specifically defined herein have the same meanings given those terms in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Annual Report”). We use certain other terms that are defined within these Financial Statements.

The Financial Statements presented herein and discussed below include 100 percent of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows of Marriott Vacations Worldwide, all entities in which Marriott Vacations Worldwide has a controlling voting interest (“subsidiaries”), and those variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which Marriott Vacations Worldwide is the primary beneficiary in accordance with consolidation accounting guidance. References in these Financial Statements to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders and MVW shareholders’ equity do not include noncontrolling interests, which represent the outside ownership of our consolidated non-wholly owned entities and are reported separately. Intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.

Pursuant to a change in control of certain consolidated property owners’ associations, we recorded a non-cash loss of $1 million in Losses and other expense, net on our Income Statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and deconsolidated $88 million of assets, inclusive of $87 million of restricted cash, and $83 million of liabilities, for a decrease in Noncontrolling interests of $6 million during the first three quarters of 2021. See our Interim Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity for further information. We continue to act as manager for these property owners’ associations pursuant to existing management contracts and retain membership interests via our ownership of vacation ownership interests.

These Financial Statements reflect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as prepared in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allocations of the purchase price paid in business combinations, cost of vacation ownership products, inventory valuation, goodwill and intangibles valuation, accounting for acquired vacation ownership notes receivable, vacation ownership notes receivable reserves, income taxes, and loss contingencies. The uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the ongoing efforts to mitigate it, has made it more challenging to make these estimates. Accordingly, ultimate results could differ from our estimates, and such differences may be material.

In our opinion, our Financial Statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, the results of our operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results may not be indicative of fiscal year performance because of, among other reasons, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and seasonal and short-term variations. These Financial Statements have not been audited. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. Although we believe our footnote disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, the Financial Statements in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our 2020 Annual Report.

Acquisition of Welk

On April 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Welk Hospitality Group, Inc. (“Welk”) through a series of transactions (the “Welk Acquisition”), after which Welk became our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary. The Financial Statements in this report include Welk’s results of operations for the second and third quarters of 2021 and reflect the financial position of our combined company at September 30, 2021. We refer to Welk’s business and brands that we acquired as “Legacy-Welk.” See Footnote 3 “Acquisitions and Dispositions” for more information on the Welk Acquisition.

Reclassifications

We have reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to our current year presentation.


2.			SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

New Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Update 2019-12 – “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”)

In the first quarter of 2021, we adopted ASU 2019-12, which amends and simplifies existing guidance in an effort to reduce the complexity of accounting for income taxes while maintaining or enhancing the helpfulness of information provided to financial statement users. Our adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on our Financial Statements or disclosures.

Future Adoption of Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Update 2020-04 – “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”)

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, as amended, which provides optional expedients and exceptions to existing guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting in an effort to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This update can be adopted no later than December 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt ASU 2020-04 in fiscal year 2022 and continue to evaluate the impact that adoption of this update will have on our Financial Statements and disclosures.

Accounting Standards Update 2020-06 – “Debt — Debt With Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”)

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which amends and simplifies existing guidance in an effort to reduce the complexity of accounting for convertible instruments and to provide financial statement users with more meaningful information. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. This update may be applied retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis with the cumulative effect recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on the date of adoption. We expect to adopt ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective method. Any transactions that may be settled prior to adoption will not be impacted by the update. The impacts of the adoption for any remaining instruments will be recorded in its cumulative effect in the opening balance of retained earnings and the conversion feature related to our convertible notes will be reclassified from equity to liabilities. In addition, we will eliminate the related equity adjustment associated with the deferred tax liability. Upon adoption, we will also be required to calculate the impact of the convertible notes on diluted earnings per share under the “if-converted” method. Under the “if-converted” method, diluted earnings per share would generally be calculated assuming that all of our convertible notes were converted solely into shares of common stock at the beginning of the reporting period, unless the result would be anti-dilutive. The application of the “if-converted” method is expected to reduce our reported diluted earnings per share.

Accounting Standards Update 2021-08 - “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2021-08”)

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, which requires application of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principle in ASC 805 and will result in recognition of contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with those recorded by the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date. The guidance eliminates the complexity of determining the fair value of contract liabilities and may result in higher balances for contract liabilities acquired in a business combination, resulting in more post-combination revenue and a higher amount of goodwill being recognized by the acquirer. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt ASU 2021-08 on a prospective basis in fiscal year 2022, and do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our Financial Statements or disclosures.

3.			ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

Welk Acquisition

On April 1, 2021 (the “Welk Acquisition Date”), we completed the Welk Acquisition for consideration of $405 million, including approximately 1.4 million shares of our common stock. Welk was one of the largest independent vacation ownership companies in North America. The following table presents the fair value of each type of consideration transferred at the Welk Acquisition Date at September 30, 2021.


(in millions, except per share amounts)
Equivalent shares of Marriott Vacations Worldwide common stock issued	1.4
Marriott Vacations Worldwide common stock price per share as of Welk Acquisition Date	$	174.18
Fair value of Marriott Vacations Worldwide common stock issued	248
Cash consideration to Welk, net of cash and restricted cash acquired of $48 million	157



Total consideration transferred, net of cash and restricted cash acquired	$	405

Preliminary Fair Values of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

We accounted for the Welk Acquisition as a business combination, which requires us to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the Welk Acquisition Date. The amounts recorded are preliminary in nature and are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the Welk Acquisition Date. We continue to evaluate the underlying inputs and assumptions used in our valuation for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The values attributed to Vacation ownership notes receivable, Inventory, Property and equipment, Intangible assets, Deferred taxes and Securitized debt from VIEs are based on preliminary valuations prepared using Level 3 inputs and assumptions in accordance with ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC 820”). The value attributed to Debt is based on Level 2 inputs in accordance with ASC 820. We are in the process of finalizing our valuations in accordance with the authoritative guidance by continuing our evaluation of the underlying inputs and assumptions that are being utilized in the valuations. Our evaluation of Welk’s historical tax positions remains ongoing. Accordingly, these preliminary estimates are subject to change during the measurement period, which is up to one year from the Welk Acquisition Date, as permitted under GAAP. Any potential adjustments could be material in relation to the values presented in the table below.

The following table presents our preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets that we acquired and the liabilities that we assumed in connection with the business combination as previously reported at June 30, 2021 and as adjusted at September 30, 2021. During the third quarter of 2021, we refined our valuation models related to certain acquired assets and liabilities as follows:



($ in millions)	April 1, 2021 (as reported at June 30, 2021)		Adjustments		April 1, 2021 (as adjusted at September 30, 2021)

(2)Inventory consists of completed unsold VOIs. We valued inventory using an income approach, which includes significant Level 3 assumptions, such as estimates of future income growth, marketing and sales costs and discount rates.

(3)Intangible assets consist of management contracts with an estimated 20 year useful life.

(4)Goodwill is calculated as total consideration transferred, net of cash acquired, less identified net assets acquired and it represents the value that we expect to obtain from growth opportunities from our combined operations, and is not deductible for tax purposes.

Pro Forma Results of Operations

The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined results of operations of Marriott Vacations Worldwide and Welk as if we had completed the Welk Acquisition on December 31, 2019, the last day of our 2019 fiscal year, but using our preliminary estimates of the fair values of assets and liabilities as of the Welk Acquisition Date. As required by GAAP, these unaudited pro forma results do not reflect any synergies from operating efficiencies. Accordingly, these unaudited pro forma results are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of the combined company would have been if the Welk Acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, nor are they indicative of future results of operations.

Sale of Vacation Ownership Products

Revenues were reduced during the third quarter and first three quarters of 2021 by $1 million and $9 million, respectively, due to changes in our estimates of variable consideration for performance obligations that were satisfied in prior periods.

Receivables from Contracts with Customers, Contract Assets & Contract Liabilities

The following table shows the composition of our receivables from contracts with customers and contract liabilities. We had no contract assets at either September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.


($ in millions)	At September 30, 2021		At December 31, 2020

Revenue recognized during the third quarter and first three quarters of 2021 that was included in our contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2020 was $133 million and $336 million, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Our remaining performance obligations represent the expected transaction price allocated to our contracts that we expect to recognize as revenue in future periods when we perform under the contracts. At September 30, 2021, approximately 84 percent of this amount is expected to be recognized as revenue over the next two years.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is comprised of amounts due from customers, primarily property owners’ associations, resort developers and members, credit card receivables, interest receivables, amounts due from taxing authorities, indemnification assets and other miscellaneous receivables.

5.			INCOME TAXES

Our provision for income taxes is calculated using an estimated annual effective tax rate, based upon expected annual income, less losses in certain jurisdictions, permanent items, statutory rates and planned tax strategies in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. However, discrete items related to prior year tax items are treated separately.

Our interim effective tax rate was 81.5 percent and 19.8 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate is predominately attributable to an increase in pre-tax income and an increase in the reserve for uncertain tax benefits.

Our interim effective tax rate was 110.6 percent and 28.7 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate is predominately attributable to an increase in pre-tax income and an increase in the reserve for uncertain tax benefits.

U.S. Tax Law Update

We have considered the income tax accounting and disclosure implications of the relief provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), enacted in March 2020, and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, enacted in December 2020. As of September 30, 2021, we evaluated the income tax provisions of the above mentioned acts and have determined there to be minimal effect on either the September 30, 2021 tax rate or the computation of the estimated effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2021. We will continue to evaluate the income tax provisions of the above mentioned acts and monitor the developments in the jurisdictions where we have significant operations for tax law changes that could have additional income tax accounting and disclosure implications.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

The following table summarizes the activity related to our unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest and penalties) during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. These unrecognized tax benefits relate to uncertain income tax positions, which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized.



($ in millions)	Unrecognized Tax Benefits
Balance at December 31, 2020	$	14
Increases related to tax positions taken during a prior period	12
Increases related to tax positions taken during the current period	1


Decreases as a result of a lapse of the applicable statute of limitations	(1)
Balance at September 30, 2021	$	26

The total amount of gross interest and penalties accrued was $38 million at September 30, 2021 and $25 million at December 31, 2020. We anticipate $14 million of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, to be indemnified pursuant to a Tax Matters Agreement dated May 11, 2016 by and among Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., Vistana Signature Experiences, Inc., and Interval Leisure Group, Inc., and consequently have recorded a corresponding indemnification asset. The unrecognized tax benefits, including accrued interest and penalties, are included in Other liabilities on our Balance Sheet.

Our income tax returns are subject to examination by relevant tax authorities. Certain of our returns are being audited in various jurisdictions for tax years 2007 through 2019. The amount of the unrecognized tax benefit may increase or decrease as a result of audits or audit settlements.

COVID-19 Impact on Vacation Ownership Notes Receivable Reserves

We increased our vacation ownership notes receivable reserves by $52 million in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of higher actual and projected default activity related predominantly to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we increased our vacation ownership notes receivable reserve by an additional $17 million due to higher than previously expected default activity. During the first three quarters of 2021, there were no additional increases to our vacation ownership notes receivable reserves attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Credit Quality of Vacation Ownership Notes Receivable

Legacy-MVW Vacation Ownership Notes Receivable

For both Legacy-MVW non-securitized and securitized vacation ownership notes receivable, we estimated average remaining default rates of 6.67 percent as of September 30, 2021, and 6.74 percent as of December 31, 2020. A 0.5 percentage point increase in the estimated default rate would have resulted in an increase in the related vacation ownership notes receivable reserve of $6 million as of both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

We use the aging of the vacation ownership notes receivable as the primary credit quality indicator for our Legacy-MVW vacation ownership notes receivable, as historical performance indicates that there is a relationship between the default behavior of borrowers and the age of the receivable associated with the vacation ownership interest.

The following table shows our recorded investment in non-accrual Legacy-MVW vacation ownership notes receivable, which are vacation ownership notes receivable that are 90 days or more past due.

Legacy-ILG and Legacy-Welk Vacation Ownership Notes Receivable

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the weighted average FICO score within our consolidated Legacy-ILG and Legacy-Welk vacation ownership notes receivable pools was 707 and 708, respectively, based upon the outstanding vacation ownership notes receivable balance at the time of origination. The average estimated rate for all future defaults for our Legacy-ILG and Legacy-Welk consolidated outstanding pool of vacation ownership notes receivable was 17.13 percent as of September 30, 2021 and 14.63 percent as of December 31, 2020. A 0.5 percentage point increase in the estimated default rate on the Legacy-ILG and Legacy-Welk vacation ownership notes receivable would have resulted in an increase in the related vacation ownership notes receivable reserve of $4 million as of September 30, 2021, and $3 million as of December 31, 2020.

We use the origination of the vacation ownership notes receivable by brand (Westin, Sheraton, Hyatt, Welk) and the FICO scores of the customer as the primary credit quality indicators for our Legacy-ILG and Legacy-Welk vacation ownership notes receivable, as historical performance indicates that there is a relationship between the default behavior of borrowers and the brand associated with the vacation ownership interest they have acquired, supplemented by the FICO scores of the customers. Vacation ownership notes receivable with no FICO score in the tables below primarily relate to non-U.S. resident borrowers.

7.			FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following table shows the carrying values and the estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments, determined in accordance with the authoritative guidance for disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The table excludes Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash, Accounts receivable, deposits included in Other assets, Accounts payable, Advance deposits and Accrued liabilities, all of which had fair values approximating their carrying amounts due to the short maturities and liquidity of these instruments.

Vacation Ownership Notes Receivable


	At September 30, 2021				At December 31, 2020
($ in millions)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Vacation ownership notes receivable
Securitized	$	1,486	$	1,532	$	1,493	$	1,530

Eligible for securitization	244		256		128		137
Not eligible for securitization	296		296		219		219
Non-securitized	540		552		347		356
	$	2,026	$	2,084	$	1,840	$	1,886

We estimate the fair value of our vacation ownership notes receivable that have been securitized using a discounted cash flow model. We believe this is comparable to the model that an independent third party would use in the current market. Our model uses default rates, prepayment rates, coupon rates and loan terms for our securitized vacation ownership notes receivable portfolio as key drivers of risk and relative value to determine the fair value of the underlying vacation ownership notes receivable. We concluded that this fair value measurement should be categorized within Level 3.

Due to factors that impact the general marketability of our vacation ownership notes receivable that have not been securitized, as well as current market conditions, we bifurcate our non-securitized vacation ownership notes receivable at each balance sheet date into those eligible and not eligible for securitization using criteria applicable to current securitization transactions in the ABS market. Generally, vacation ownership notes receivable are considered not eligible for securitization if any of the following attributes are present: (1) payments are greater than 30 days past due; (2) the first payment has not been received; or (3) the collateral is located in Asia or Europe. In some cases, eligibility may also be determined based on the credit score of the borrower, the remaining term of the loans and other similar factors that may reflect investor demand in a securitization transaction or the cost to effectively securitize the vacation ownership notes receivable.

Table of Contents

The table above shows the bifurcation of our vacation ownership notes receivable that have not been securitized into those eligible and not eligible for securitization based upon the aforementioned eligibility criteria. We estimate the fair value of the portion of our vacation ownership notes receivable that have not been securitized that we believe will ultimately be securitized in the same manner as vacation ownership notes receivable that have been securitized. We value the remaining vacation ownership notes receivable that have not been securitized at their carrying value, rather than using our pricing model. We believe that the carrying value of these particular vacation ownership notes receivable approximates fair value because the stated, or otherwise imputed, interest rates of these loans are consistent with current market rates and the reserve for these vacation ownership notes receivable appropriately accounts for risks in default rates, prepayment rates, discount rates and loan terms. We concluded that this fair value measurement should be categorized within Level 3.

Other Assets

Other assets include $70 million of company owned insurance policies (the “COLI policies”), acquired on the lives of certain participants in the Marriott Vacations Worldwide Deferred Compensation Plan, that are held in a rabbi trust. The carrying value of the COLI policies is equal to their cash surrender value (Level 2 inputs).

Securitized Debt

We generate cash flow estimates by modeling all bond tranches for our active vacation ownership notes receivable securitization transactions, with consideration for the collateral specific to each tranche. The key drivers in our analysis include default rates, prepayment rates, bond interest rates and other structural factors, which we use to estimate the projected cash flows. In order to estimate market credit spreads by rating, we obtain indicative credit spreads from investment banks that actively issue and facilitate the market for vacation ownership securities and determine an average credit spread by rating level of the different tranches. We then apply those estimated market spreads to swap rates in order to estimate an underlying discount rate for calculating the fair value of the active bonds payable. We concluded that this fair value measurement should be categorized within Level 3.

Senior Notes

We estimate the fair value of our 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2028 Notes, and 2029 Notes (each as defined in Footnote 13 “Debt”) using quoted market prices as of the last trading day for the quarter; however these notes have only a limited trading history and volume, and as such this fair value estimate is not necessarily indicative of the value at which these notes could be retired or transferred. We concluded that this fair value measurement should be categorized within Level 2.

Term Loan

We estimate the fair value of our Term Loan (as defined in Footnote 13 “Debt”) using quotes from securities dealers as of the last trading day for the quarter; however this loan has only a limited trading history and volume, and as such this fair value estimate is not necessarily indicative of the value at which the Term Loan could be retired or transferred. We concluded that this fair value measurement should be categorized within Level 3.

Convertible Notes

We estimate the fair value of our 2022 Convertible Notes and 2026 Convertible Notes (each as defined in Footnote 13 “Debt” and referred to collectively as our “convertible notes”) using quoted market prices as of the last trading day for the quarter; however these notes have only a limited trading history and volume, and as such this fair value estimate is not necessarily indicative of the value at which the convertible notes could be retired or transferred. We concluded that this fair value measurement should be categorized within Level 2. The difference between the carrying value and the fair value is primarily attributed to the underlying conversion feature and the spread between the conversion price and the market value of the shares underlying the convertible notes.

8.			EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings or loss per common share attributable to common shareholders is calculated by dividing net income or loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Treasury stock is excluded from the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings or loss per common share attributable to common shareholders is calculated to give effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the reporting period, except in periods when there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. The dilutive effect of outstanding equity-based compensation awards is reflected in diluted earnings or loss per common share applicable to common shareholders by application of the treasury stock method using average market prices during the period.

Our calculation of diluted earnings or loss per share attributable to common shareholders reflects our intent to settle conversions of our convertible notes through a combination settlement, which contemplates repayment in cash of the principal amount and repayment in shares of our common stock of any excess of the conversion value over the principal amount (the “conversion premium”). Therefore, we include only the shares that may be issued with respect to any conversion premium in total dilutive weighted average shares outstanding, which we calculate using the treasury stock method based upon an average price per share for the quarter.

As of September 30, 2021, a conversion premium existed for our 2022 Convertible Notes (as defined in Footnote 13 “Debt”). As no conversion premium existed as of September 30, 2020, there was no potential dilutive impact from our 2022 Convertible Notes for the third quarter or first three quarters of 2020. Additionally, as no conversion premium existed for our 2026 Convertible Notes (as defined in Footnote 13 “Debt”) as of September 30, 2021, there was no potential dilutive impact from our 2026 Convertible Notes for the third quarter or first three quarters of 2021.

The shares issuable on exercise of the warrants sold in connection with the issuance of our convertible notes will not impact the total dilutive weighted average shares outstanding unless and until the price of our common stock exceeds the respective strike price. If and when the price of our common stock exceeds the respective strike price of either of the warrants, we will include the dilutive effect of the additional shares that may be issued upon exercise of the warrants in total dilutive weighted average shares outstanding, which we calculate using the treasury stock method. The convertible note hedges purchased in connection with each issuance of convertible notes are considered to be anti-dilutive and do not impact our calculation of diluted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders for any periods presented herein. See Footnote 13 “Debt” for further information on our convertible notes.

The table below illustrates the reconciliation of the earnings and number of shares used in our calculation of basic and diluted earnings or loss per share attributable to common shareholders.

_______________________________

(1)The computation of diluted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders excludes approximately 298,000 shares of common stock, the maximum number of shares issuable as of September 30, 2021, upon the vesting of certain performance-based awards because the performance condition required to be met for the shares subject to such awards to vest were not achieved by the end of the reporting period.

Table of Contents

(2)For the first three quarters of 2021 and the third quarter and the first three quarters of 2020, the following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the above calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders during the periods presented, as the effects of including these securities would have been anti-dilutive.

In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for calculating earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2021, we excluded from our calculation of diluted earnings per share 127,008 shares underlying stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) that may settle in shares of common stock because the exercise price of $173.88 of such SARs was greater than the average market price for the applicable period.


9.			INVENTORY

The following table shows the composition of our inventory balances:

(1)Represents completed inventory that is registered for sale as vacation ownership interests and vacation ownership inventory expected to be reacquired pursuant to estimated future foreclosures.

We value vacation ownership products at the lower of cost or fair market value less costs to sell, in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, and we record operating supplies at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Product cost true-up activity relating to vacation ownership products increased carrying values of inventory by $6 million during the first three quarters of 2021 and by $4 million during the first three quarters of 2020.

In addition to the above, at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $465 million and $162 million, respectively, of completed vacation ownership units which are classified as a component of Property and equipment, net until the time at which they are legally registered for sale as vacation ownership products. We also have $24 million and $43 million of deposits on future purchases of inventory at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which are included in the Other assets line on our Balance Sheets.

Q1 2021, Q2 2021, and Q3 2021

We periodically monitor for indicators of impairment of our goodwill and none were identified during the third quarter or first three quarters of 2021. While the goodwill of our reporting units was not impaired during the first three quarters of 2021, we cannot assure you that our goodwill will not be impaired in future periods.

Q1 2020

We recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $73 million in the Impairment line on our Income Statement during the first quarter of 2020 related to the Exchange & Third-Party Management reporting unit, which was primarily driven by the change in expected future operating results as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Intangible Assets

Q1 2020

We recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $18 million in the Impairment line on our Income Statement during the first quarter of 2020 related to the indefinite-lived intangible assets in our Exchange & Third-Party Management segment, which was primarily attributed to the decline in estimated near-term revenues and related recovery of long-term revenues as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.


11.			CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

Commitments and Letters of Credit

As of September 30, 2021, we had the following commitments outstanding:

•We have various contracts for the use of information technology hardware and software that we use in the normal course of business. Our aggregate commitment under these contracts was $87 million, of which we expect $14 million, $40 million, $21 million, $6 million, $5 million and $1 million will be paid in the remainder of 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and thereafter, respectively.

•We have various commitments to acquire real estate for use in our Vacation Ownership segment via our involvement with VIEs. Refer to Footnote 16 “Variable Interest Entities” for additional information and our activities relating to the VIEs involved in these transactions.

•We have a remaining commitment to purchase 88 vacation ownership units located in Bali, Indonesia for use in our Vacation Ownership segment, contingent upon completion of construction to agreed-upon standards. We expect to complete the acquisition in 2022 and to make the remaining payments of $23 million in 2022 with respect to these units, when specific construction milestones are completed.

Surety bonds issued as of September 30, 2021 totaled $123 million, the majority of which were requested by federal, state, or local governments in connection with our operations.

As of September 30, 2021, we had $2 million of letters of credit outstanding under our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility (as defined in Footnote 13 “Debt”). In addition, as of September 30, 2021, we had $2 million in letters of credit outstanding related to and in lieu of reserves required for several vacation ownership notes receivable securitization transactions outstanding. These letters of credit are not issued pursuant to, nor do they impact our borrowing capacity under, the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility.

Table of Contents

We estimate the cash outflow associated with completing the phases of our existing portfolio of vacation ownership projects currently under development will be approximately $2 million, of which $1 million is included within liabilities on our Balance Sheet at September 30, 2021. This estimate is based on our current development plans, which remain subject to change, and we expect the phases currently under development will be completed in 2022.

Guarantees

Certain of our rental management agreements in our Exchange & Third-Party Management segment provide for owners of properties we manage to receive specified percentages of rental revenue or guaranteed amounts generated under our management. In these cases, the operating expenses for the rental operations are paid from the revenue generated by the rentals, the owners are then paid their contractual percentages or guaranteed amounts, and our vacation rental business either retains the balance (if any) as its fee or makes up the deficit. At September 30, 2021, our maximum exposure under fixed dollar guarantees was $12 million, of which $1 million, $4 million, $2 million, $2 million, $1 million, and $2 million relate to the remainder of 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and thereafter, respectively.

We have a commitment to a property owners’ association that we manage to pay for any shortfall between the actual expenses incurred by the property owners’ association and the income received by the property owners’ association. The agreement will terminate on the earlier of: 1) sale of 80% of the total ownership interests; or 2) upon our written notification of termination. At September 30, 2021, our expected commitment for the remainder of 2021 is $3 million.

Loss Contingencies

In March 2017, RCHFU, L.L.C. and other owners at The Ritz-Carlton Club, Aspen Highlands (“RCC Aspen Highlands”) filed a complaint in an action pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against us and certain third parties, alleging that their fractional interests were devalued by the affiliation of the RCC Aspen Highlands and other Ritz-Carlton Clubs with our points-based Marriott Vacation Club Destinations (“MVCD”) program. The plaintiffs sought compensatory damages, disgorgement, punitive damages, fees and costs. In September 2021, the District Court granted our motion for summary judgment and dismissed the case. In October 2021, the plaintiffs appealed the ruling. Subsequently, the parties have agreed in principle to the dismissal of plaintiffs’ appeal in exchange for a dismissal of our claim for attorneys’ fees and expenses.

In May 2016, a purported class-action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida by Anthony and Beth Lennen against us and certain third parties. The complaint challenged the characterization of the beneficial interests in the MVCD trust that are sold to customers as real estate interests under Florida law, the structure of the trust, and associated operational aspects of the trust. The plaintiffs sought declaratory relief, an unwinding of the MVCD product, and punitive damages. In August 2019, the District Court granted our motion for judgment on the pleadings and dismissed the case. The plaintiffs have appealed the ruling.

In February 2019, the owners’ association for the St. Regis Residence Club, New York, filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court for the State of New York, New York County, Commercial Division against ILG and several of its subsidiaries and certain third parties. The operative complaint alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties related to sale and rental practices, aided and abetted certain breaches of fiduciary duty, engaged in self-dealing as the sponsor and manager of the club, tortiously interfered with the management agreement, was unjustly enriched, and engaged in anticompetitive conduct. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified damages, punitive damages and disgorgement of payments under the management and purchase agreements.

In April 2019, a purported class-action lawsuit was filed by Alan and Marjorie Helman and others against us in the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands, Division of St. Thomas alleging that their fractional interests were devalued by the affiliation of The Ritz-Carlton Club, St. Thomas and other Ritz-Carlton Clubs with our MVCD program. The lawsuit was subsequently removed to the U.S. District Court for the District of the Virgin Islands. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages, disgorgement of profits, fees and costs.

In May 2019, the G.A. Resort Condominium Association Inc., the owners’ association for the fractional owners at the Hyatt Residence Club Grand Aspen resort (“HRC Grand Aspen”) filed a lawsuit against us in the District Court for the County of Pitkin, Colorado relating to the transfer of ownership of developer-owned fractional interests at HRC Grand Aspen to the HPC Trust Club for sale and use as a part of the Hyatt Residence Club Portfolio Program. The lawsuit was subsequently removed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. The plaintiff sought termination of the management agreement with the owners’ association, the annulment of certain amendments to governing documents at HRC Grand Aspen, the removal of fractional interests at HRC Grand Aspen from the HPC Trust Club, unspecified damages, disgorgement of profits, fees and costs. In November 2020, the District Court granted our motion to dismiss and dismissed the case. The plaintiffs have appealed the ruling.

We believe we have meritorious defenses to the claims in each of the above matters and intend to vigorously defend each matter.

In the ordinary course of our business, various claims and lawsuits have been filed or are pending against us. A number of these lawsuits and claims may exist at any given time. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic may give rise to various claims and lawsuits from owners, members and other parties. We record and accrue for legal contingencies when we determine that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In making such determinations, we evaluate, among other things, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, our ability to make a reasonable estimate of loss. We review these accruals each reporting period and make revisions based on changes in facts and circumstances.

We have not accrued for any of the pending matters described above and we cannot estimate a range of the potential liability associated with these pending matters, if any, at this time. We have accrued for other claims and lawsuits, but the amount accrued is not material individually or in the aggregate. For matters not requiring accrual, we do not believe that the ultimate outcome of such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will materially harm our financial position, cash flows, or overall trends in results of operations based on information currently available. However, legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and while we believe that our accruals are adequate and/or we have valid defenses to the claims asserted, unfavorable rulings could occur that could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results.

Leases That Have Not Yet Commenced

During the first quarter of 2020, we entered into a finance lease arrangement for our new global headquarters in Orlando, Florida. The initial lease term is approximately 16 years with total lease payments of $129 million for the aforementioned period. During 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and our ongoing evaluation of future space needs, we entered into a standstill arrangement with the developer/lessor, which expired in June 2021. During the second quarter of 2021, we amended our lease agreement with the developer/lessor and expect the new office building to be completed in 2023. Upon commencement of the lease term, a right-of-use asset and corresponding liability will be recorded on our balance sheet.

Vacation Ownership Notes Receivable Securitizations

Each of the securitized vacation ownership notes receivable transactions contains various triggers relating to the performance of the underlying vacation ownership notes receivable. If a pool of securitized vacation ownership notes receivable fails to perform within the pool’s established parameters (default or delinquency thresholds vary by transaction), transaction provisions effectively redirect the monthly excess spread we would otherwise receive from that pool (attributable to the interests we retained) to accelerate the principal payments to investors (taking into account the subordination of the different tranches to the extent there are multiple tranches) until the performance trigger is cured. During the third quarter of 2021, and as of September 30, 2021, no securitized vacation ownership notes receivable pools were out of compliance with their respective established parameters. As of September 30, 2021, we had 13 securitized vacation ownership notes receivable pools outstanding.

As the contractual terms of the underlying securitized vacation ownership notes receivable determine the maturities of the non-recourse debt associated with them, actual maturities may occur earlier than shown above due to prepayments by the vacation ownership notes receivable obligors.

During the second quarter of 2021, we completed the securitization of a pool of $434 million of vacation ownership notes receivable. In connection with the securitization, investors purchased in a private placement $425 million in vacation ownership loan backed notes from MVW 2021-1W LLC (the “2021-1W LLC”). Four classes of vacation ownership loan backed notes were issued by the 2021-1W LLC: $207 million of Class A Notes, $107 million of Class B Notes, $80 million of Class C Notes, and $31 million of Class D Notes. The Class A Notes have an interest rate of 1.14 percent, the Class B Notes have an interest rate of 1.44 percent, the Class C Notes have an interest rate of 1.94 percent, and the Class D Notes have an interest rate of 3.17 percent, for an overall weighted average interest rate of 1.52 percent. Of the $425 million in proceeds from the transaction, $8 million was used to pay transaction expenses and fund required reserves, and the remainder will be used for general corporate purposes. In connection with the 2021-1W securitization, we redeemed certain remaining vacation ownership notes receivable securitizations from 2014 and 2015, as well as certain vacation ownership notes receivable securitizations acquired as part of the Welk Acquisition.

Warehouse Credit Facility

Our warehouse credit facility (the “Warehouse Credit Facility”), which has a borrowing capacity of $350 million, allows for the securitization of vacation ownership notes receivable on a revolving non-recourse basis. During the second quarter of 2021, we amended certain agreements associated with this facility, and as a result, the revolving period was extended from December 20, 2021 to April 21, 2023 and the interest rate increased from primarily LIBOR plus 1.1% to primarily LIBOR plus 1.35%. Our borrowing capacity was not modified by these amendments. The amended facility expanded our ability to monetize vacation ownership notes receivable loans originated by Welk. The other terms were substantially similar to those in effect prior to the execution of the amendments. As of September 30, 2021, there were no cash borrowings outstanding under our Warehouse Credit Facility.

Senior Notes

Our senior notes include:

•$500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 issued in the second quarter of 2020 with a maturity date of September 15, 2025 (the “2025 Notes”).

•$350 million aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2028 issued in the fourth quarter of 2019 with a maturity date of January 15, 2028 (the “2028 Notes”).

•$500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.500% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2029 issued in the second quarter of 2021 with a maturity date of June 15, 2029 (the “2029 Notes”).

Issuance and Redemption of Senior Notes

The 2029 Notes were issued under an indenture dated June 21, 2021 with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. We received net proceeds of $493 million from the offering, after deducting the underwriting fees and transaction expenses. We used these proceeds in July 2021 to redeem, prior to maturity, $500 million of the $750 million aggregate principal amount of 6.500% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026 issued in the third quarter of 2018 with a maturity date of September 15, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and pay transaction expenses and fees in connection with the transaction. We will pay interest on the 2029 Notes on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on December 15, 2021. We may redeem some or all of the 2029 Notes prior to maturity under the terms provided in the indenture.

As noted above, in July 2021, we redeemed, prior to maturity, $500 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes pursuant to a redemption notice issued in June 2021 and the terms of the indenture governing the 2026 Notes. Additionally, in September 2021, we issued a redemption notice and redeemed, prior to maturity, the remaining $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2026 Notes. In connection with the redemptions that occurred during the third quarter of 2021, we incurred charges of $36 million, inclusive of a redemption premium and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, which was recorded in the Losses and other expense, net line on our Income Statement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

During the third quarter of 2021, we delivered a redemption notice of $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2025 Notes. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2021, we redeemed, prior to maturity, $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes. In connection with this redemption, we expect to incur charges of approximately $19 million, inclusive of a redemption premium and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, which will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Corporate Credit Facility

Our corporate credit facility (“Corporate Credit Facility”), which provides support for our business, including ongoing liquidity and letters of credit, includes a $900 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan”), which matures on August 31, 2025, and a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $600 million (the “Revolving Corporate Credit Facility”), including a letter of credit sub-facility of $75 million, that terminates on August 31, 2023.

The Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.75 percent. Borrowings under the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility generally bear interest at a floating rate plus an applicable margin that varies from 0.50 percent to 2.75 percent depending on the type of loan and our credit rating. In addition, we pay a commitment fee on the unused availability under the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility at a rate that varies from 20 to 40 basis points per annum, also depending on our credit rating.

In 2020, we entered into a waiver (the “Waiver”) to the agreement that governs our Corporate Credit Facility, which, among other things, suspended the requirement to comply with the leverage covenant in the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2020. The initial suspension period included in the Waiver was up to four quarters, however in February 2021, we further amended the agreement governing our Corporate Credit Facility to extend the suspension period included in the Waiver through the end of 2021. The Waiver prohibited us from making certain restricted payments, including share repurchases and dividends. On September 9, 2021, we elected to terminate the Waiver.

Prior to 2020, we entered into $250 million of interest rate swaps under which we pay a fixed rate of 2.9625 percent and receive a floating interest rate through September 2023 and $200 million of interest rate swaps under which we pay a fixed rate of 2.2480 percent and receive a floating interest rate through April 2024, in each case to hedge a portion of our interest rate risk on the Term Loan. We also entered into a $100 million interest rate collar with a cap strike rate of 2.5000 percent and a floor strike rate of 1.8810 percent through April 2024 to further hedge our interest rate risk on the Term Loan. Both the interest rate swaps and the interest rate collar have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk and recorded in Other liabilities on our Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

2022 Convertible Notes

During 2017, we issued $230 million of aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes (the “2022 Convertible Notes”) that bear interest at a rate of 1.50 percent, payable in cash semi-annually. The 2022 Convertible Notes mature on September 15, 2022, unless repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to that date.

The conversion rate is subject to adjustment for certain events as described in the indenture governing the notes, and was subject to adjustment as of September 30, 2021 to 6.8201 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2022 Convertible Notes (equivalent to a conversion price of $146.63 per share of our common stock), as a result of the dividends that have been declared since issuance that were greater than the quarterly dividend when the 2022 Convertible Notes were issued. Upon conversion, we will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election. It is our intent to settle conversions of the 2022 Convertible Notes through combination settlement, which contemplates repayment in cash of the principal amount and repayment in shares of our common stock of any excess of the conversion value over the principal amount. As of September 30, 2021, the effective interest rate was 4.73% and the remaining discount amortization period was one year.

2022 Convertible Note Hedges and Warrants

In connection with the offering of the 2022 Convertible Notes, we concurrently entered into the following privately-negotiated separate transactions: convertible note hedge transactions with respect to our common stock (“2022 Convertible Note Hedges”), covering a total of approximately 1.5 million shares of our common stock, and warrant transactions (“2022 Warrants”), whereby we sold to the counterparties to the 2022 Convertible Note Hedges warrants to acquire approximately 1.5 million shares of our common stock. As of September 30, 2021, the strike prices of the 2022 Convertible Note Hedges and the 2022 Warrants were subject to adjustment to approximately $148.73 and $177.33, respectively, and no 2022 Convertible Note Hedges or 2022 Warrants have been exercised.

2026 Convertible Notes

During the first quarter of 2021, we issued $575 million aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Convertible Notes”). The 2026 Convertible Notes are governed by an indenture dated February 2, 2021 (the Indenture) among the Company, Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc. and the other guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). We received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $530 million after adjusting for debt issuance costs, including the discount to the initial purchasers, the cost of the 2026 Convertible Note Hedges, and proceeds from the 2026 Warrants (both as defined below).

The 2026 Convertible Notes will not bear regular interest and will mature on January 15, 2026, unless earlier repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to that date. On or after October 15, 2025, and prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the stated maturity date of the 2026 Convertible Notes, holders may convert their 2026 Convertible Notes at their option. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment for certain events as described in the indenture governing the notes, and was subject to adjustment as of September 30, 2021 to 5.8685 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Convertible Notes (equivalent to a conversion price of $170.40 per share of our common stock), as a result of the dividends that have been declared since issuance. Upon conversion, we will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election. It is our intent to settle conversions of the 2026 Convertible Notes through combination settlement, which contemplates repayment in cash of the principal amount and repayment in shares of our common stock of any excess of the conversion value over the principal amount.

Holders may convert their 2026 Convertible Notes prior to October 15, 2025 only under the following circumstances:

•during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2021 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130 percent of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;

•during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98 percent of the product of the last reported sale price of the common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or

•upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as described in the Indenture.

We may not redeem the 2026 Convertible Notes prior to their maturity date, and no sinking fund is provided for them. If we undergo a fundamental change, as described in the Indenture, subject to certain conditions, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2026 Convertible Notes. The repurchase price as a result of a fundamental change is equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date. If certain fundamental changes referred to in the Indenture as make-whole fundamental changes occur, the conversion rate applicable to the 2026 Convertible Notes may increase.

The 2026 Convertible Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by the Guarantors on a senior, unsecured basis. The 2026 Convertible Notes are our general senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior indebtedness, and senior in right of payment to all of our future subordinated debt. The 2026 Convertible Notes will be effectively subordinated to any of our existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, including the guarantees of borrowings outstanding under the Corporate Credit Facility and our 2025 Notes. The 2026 Convertible Notes will be structurally subordinated to any existing and future indebtedness and any other liabilities and obligations of any of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the 2026

Convertible Notes. The guarantees will be the Guarantors’ general senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness, and senior in right of payment to all of the Guarantors’ future subordinated debt. The guarantees will be effectively subordinated to any of the Guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, including any borrowings outstanding under the Corporate Credit Facility and the 2025 Notes. The guarantees will be structurally subordinated to any existing and future indebtedness and any other liabilities and obligations of any of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the 2026 Convertible Notes.

There are no financial or operating covenants related to the 2026 Convertible Notes. The indenture governing these notes contains customary events of default with respect to the 2026 Convertible Notes and provides that upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25 percent in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes then outstanding may declare all principal of and accrued and any unpaid interest on the 2026 Convertible Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. In case of certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency involving the Company, all of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the 2026 Convertible Notes will automatically become immediately due and payable.

In accounting for the issuance of the 2026 Convertible Notes, we separated the 2026 Convertible Notes into liability and equity components and allocated $449 million to the liability component and $126 million to the equity component. The resulting debt discount is amortized as interest expense. As of September 30, 2021, the effective interest rate was 4.96% and the remaining debt discount amortization period was 4.3 years. We had debt issuance costs, including initial purchasers’ discount to underwriters, of $15 million related to the 2026 Convertible Notes, which were allocated to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Issuance costs attributable to the liability component are amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2026 Convertible Notes, and issuance costs attributable to the equity component are included along with the equity component in shareholders’ equity.

2026 Convertible Note Hedges and Warrants

In connection with the offering of the 2026 Convertible Notes, we entered into privately-negotiated convertible note hedge transactions with respect to our common stock with certain counterparties (the “2026 Convertible Note Hedges”), covering a total of 3.4 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $100 million. The 2026 Convertible Note Hedges are subject to anti-dilution provisions substantially similar to those of the 2026 Convertible Notes, have a strike price that initially corresponded to the initial conversion price of the 2026 Convertible Notes, are exercisable by us upon any conversion under the 2026 Convertible Notes, and expire when the 2026 Convertible Notes mature. The cost of the 2026 Convertible Note Hedges is expected to be tax deductible as an original issue discount over the life of the 2026 Convertible Notes, as the 2026 Convertible Notes and the 2026 Convertible Note Hedges represent an integrated debt instrument for tax purposes. The cost of the 2026 Convertible Note Hedges was recorded as a reduction of Additional paid-in capital on our Balance Sheet.

Table of Contents

Concurrently with the entry into the 2026 Convertible Note Hedges, we separately entered into privately-negotiated warrant transactions (the “2026 Warrants”), whereby we sold to the counterparties to the 2026 Convertible Note Hedges warrants to acquire, collectively, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 3.4 million shares of our common stock at an initial strike price of $213.76 per share. We received aggregate proceeds of $70 million from the sale of the 2026 Warrants to the counterparties. The proceeds from the issuance of the 2026 Warrants were recorded as an increase to Additional paid-in capital on our Balance Sheet.

Taken together, the 2026 Convertible Note Hedges and the 2026 Warrants are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock (or, in the event the conversion of the 2026 Convertible Notes is settled in cash, to reduce our cash payment obligation) in the event that at the time of conversion our stock price exceeds the conversion price under the 2026 Convertible Notes and to effectively increase the overall conversion price to the Company from $171.01 per share to $213.76 per share. The 2026 Warrants will expire in ratable portions on a series of expiration dates commencing on April 15, 2026.

The 2026 Convertible Notes, the 2026 Convertible Note Hedges, and the 2026 Warrants are transactions that are separate from each other. Holders of any such instrument have no rights with respect to the other instruments. As of September 30, 2021, the strike prices of the 2026 Convertible Note Hedges and the 2026 Warrants were subject to adjustment to approximately $170.40 and $213.00, respectively, and no 2026 Convertible Notes or 2026 Warrants have been exercised.

Security and Guarantees

Amounts borrowed under the Corporate Credit Facility and the 2025 Notes, as well as obligations with respect to letters of credit issued pursuant to the Corporate Credit Facility, are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the borrowers under, and guarantors of, that facility (which include MVWC and certain of our direct and indirect, existing and future, domestic subsidiaries, excluding certain bankruptcy remote special purpose subsidiaries), in each case including inventory, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, the Corporate Credit Facility, the 2026 Convertible Notes, the 2025 Notes, the 2028 Notes, and the 2029 Notes are guaranteed by MVWC and certain of our direct and indirect, existing and future, domestic subsidiaries, excluding bankruptcy remote special purpose subsidiaries.

Share Repurchase Program

During the third quarter of 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program under which we may purchase shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $250 million, prior to December 31, 2022. Share repurchases may be made through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block transactions, tender offers, or otherwise. The specific timing, amount and other terms of the repurchases will depend on market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements and other factors. Acquired shares of our common stock are held as treasury shares carried at cost in our Financial Statements. In connection with the repurchase program, we are authorized to adopt one or more plans pursuant to the provisions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The following table summarizes share repurchase activity under our share repurchase programs:


($ in millions, except per share amounts)	Number of Shares Repurchased	Cost of Shares Repurchased		Average Price Paid per Share

Noncontrolling interests of $31 million as of both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are included on our Balance Sheets as a component of equity.


15.			SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

We maintain the Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “MVW Equity Plan”) for the benefit of our officers, directors, and employees. Under the MVW Equity Plan, we are authorized to award: (1) restricted stock units (“RSUs”) of our common stock, (2) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) relating to our common stock, and (3) stock options to purchase our common stock. A total of 1.8 million shares are authorized for issuance pursuant to grants under the MVW Equity Plan. As of September 30, 2021, approximately 1.5 million shares were available for grants under the MVW Equity Plan.

The following table details our share-based compensation expense related to award grants to our officers, directors, and employees:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

Restricted Stock Units

We granted 171,625 service-based RSUs, which are subject to time-based vesting conditions, with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $169.19, to our employees and non-employee directors during the first three quarters of 2021.

Stock Appreciation Rights

We granted 127,857 SARs, with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $70.66 and a weighted average exercise price of $173.88, to members of management during the first three quarters of 2021. We use the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of the SARs granted. The expected stock price volatility was calculated based on the average of the historical and implied volatility of our stock price. The average expected life was calculated using the simplified method, as we have insufficient historical information to provide a basis for estimating average expected life. The risk-free interest rate was calculated based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life assumed at the date of grant. The dividend yield assumption listed below is based on the expectation of future payouts.

Table of Contents

The following table outlines the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of grants during the first three quarters of 2021:


Expected volatility			48.35%
Dividend yield			1.48%
Risk-free rate			0.97%
Expected term (in years)			6.25


16.			VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Variable Interest Entities Related to Our Vacation Ownership Notes Receivable Securitizations

We periodically securitize, without recourse, through bankruptcy remote special purpose entities, notes receivable originated in connection with the sale of vacation ownership products. These vacation ownership notes receivable securitizations provide funding for us and transfer the economic risks and substantially all the benefits of the consumer loans we originate to third parties. In a vacation ownership notes receivable securitization, various classes of debt securities issued by a special purpose entity are generally collateralized by a single tranche of transferred assets, which consist of vacation ownership notes receivable. With each vacation ownership notes receivable securitization, we may retain a portion of the securities, subordinated tranches, interest-only strips, subordinated interests in accrued interest and fees on the securitized vacation ownership notes receivable or, in some cases, overcollateralization and cash reserve accounts.

We created these bankruptcy remote special purpose entities to serve as a mechanism for holding assets and related liabilities, and the entities have no equity investment at risk, making them VIEs. We continue to service the vacation ownership notes receivable, transfer all proceeds collected to these special purpose entities, and retain rights to receive benefits that are potentially significant to the entities. Accordingly, we concluded that we are the entities’ primary beneficiary and, therefore, consolidate them. There is no noncontrolling interest balance related to these entities and the creditors of these entities do not have general recourse to us.

The following table shows consolidated assets, which are collateral for the obligations of these VIEs, and consolidated liabilities included on our Balance Sheet at September 30, 2021:

Under the terms of our vacation ownership notes receivable securitizations, we have the right to substitute loans for, or repurchase, defaulted loans at our option, subject to certain limitations. Our maximum exposure to potential loss relating to the special purpose entities that purchase, sell and own these vacation ownership notes receivable is the overcollateralization amount (the difference between the loan collateral balance and the balance of the outstanding vacation ownership notes receivable), plus cash reserves and any residual interest in future cash flows from collateral.

Other Variable Interest Entities

We have a commitment to purchase an operating property located in San Francisco, California, that we currently manage as Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, San Francisco. We expect to acquire the operating property over time and as of September 30, 2021 are committed to make payments for the operating property as follows: $25 million in 2022 and $32 million in 2023. See Footnote 3 “Acquisitions and Dispositions” for information on the purchases that occurred during the first quarters of 2021 and 2020. We are required to purchase the property from the third-party developer unless the developer has sold the property to another party. The property is held by a VIE for which we are not the primary beneficiary as we cannot prevent the VIE from selling the property to another party at a higher price. Accordingly, we have not consolidated the VIE. As of September 30, 2021, our Balance Sheet reflected $2 million in Accounts Receivable, including a note receivable of less than $1 million, and $10 million in Other assets for a deposit related to the future acquisition of a portion of this property. We believe that our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with this VIE is approximately $12 million as of September 30, 2021.

We have a commitment to purchase a property located in Waikiki, Hawaii, which was assigned to a third party during 2020. If we are unable to negotiate a capital efficient inventory arrangement, we are committed to purchase the property, in its then current form, for $104 million in 2022, unless it has been sold to another party. The property is held by a VIE for which we are not the primary beneficiary as we do not control the operations of the VIE. Accordingly, we have not consolidated the VIE. As of September 30, 2021, our Balance Sheet reflected $1 million in Accounts Receivable, including a note receivable of less than $1 million. We believe that our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with this VIE is approximately $1 million as of September 30, 2021.

Deferred Compensation Plan

We consolidate the liabilities of the Marriott Vacations Worldwide Deferred Compensation Plan and the related assets, which consist of the COLI policies held in the rabbi trust. The rabbi trust is considered a VIE. We are considered the primary beneficiary of the rabbi trust because we direct the activities of the trust and are the beneficiary of the trust. At September 30, 2021, the value of the assets held in the rabbi trust was $70 million, which is included in the Other line within assets on our Balance Sheets.


17.			BUSINESS SEGMENTS

We define our reportable segments based on the way in which the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), currently our chief executive officer, manages the operations of the Company for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. We operate in two operating and reportable business segments:

•Vacation Ownership includes a diverse portfolio of resorts that includes seven vacation ownership brands licensed under exclusive, long-term relationships with Marriott International and Hyatt Hotels Corporation. We are the exclusive worldwide developer, marketer, seller and manager of vacation ownership and related products under the Marriott Vacation Club, Grand Residences by Marriott, Sheraton Vacation Club, Westin Vacation Club and Hyatt Residence Club brands, as well as under Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, an extension to the Marriott Vacation Club brand. We are also the exclusive worldwide developer, marketer and seller of vacation ownership and related products under The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club brand, we have the non-exclusive right to develop, market and sell whole ownership residential products under The Ritz-Carlton Residences brand and we have a license to use the St. Regis brand for specified fractional ownership resorts. In addition, as part of the Welk Acquisition, we acquired a short-term license to use the Welk brand in connection with the continued operations of that business. MVW intends to rebrand all Welk resorts as Hyatt-branded resorts once it has obtained all necessary approvals.

Our Vacation Ownership segment generates most of its revenues from four primary sources: selling vacation ownership products; managing vacation ownership resorts, clubs and owners’ associations; financing consumer purchases of vacation ownership products; and renting vacation ownership inventory.

•Exchange & Third-Party Management includes exchange networks and membership programs, as well as management of resorts and lodging properties. We provide these services through a variety of brands including Interval International, Trading Places International, Vacation Resorts International, and Aqua-Aston. Exchange & Third-Party Management revenue generally is fee-based and derived from membership, exchange and rental transactions, property and association management, and other related products and services.

Our CODM evaluates the performance of our segments based primarily on the results of the segment without allocating corporate expenses or income taxes. We do not allocate corporate interest expense or indirect general and administrative expenses to our segments. We include interest income specific to segment activities within the appropriate

Table of Contents

segment. We allocate depreciation, other gains and losses, equity in earnings or losses from our joint ventures and noncontrolling interest to each of our segments as appropriate. Corporate and other represents that portion of our results that are not allocable to our segments, including those relating to property owners’ associations consolidated under the voting interest model, as our CODM does not use this information to make operating segment resource allocations. Prior year segment information has been reclassified to conform to the current reportable segment presentation.

Our CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the profitability of our operating segments, and the components of net income attributable to common shareholders excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are not separately evaluated. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as 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, excluding share-based compensation expense and adjusted for certain items that affect the comparability of our operating performance. Our reconciliation of the aggregate amount of Adjusted EBITDA for our reportable segments to consolidated net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders is presented below.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

We make forward-looking statements in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, the information concerning: our possible or assumed future results of operations; business strategies, such as our plans to continue to increase focus on sales to first-time buyers; financing plans; competitive position; potential growth opportunities; potential operating performance improvements, including expectations that contract sales and rental occupancies will continue to improve throughout the remainder of 2021 and that interest income will begin to increase in the remainder of 2021 and into 2022; the effects of competition; and the ongoing effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and actions we or others may take in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Business Overview

We are a leading global vacation company that offers vacation ownership, exchange, rental, and resort and property management, along with related businesses, products and services. Our business operates in two reportable segments: Vacation Ownership and Exchange & Third-Party Management.

Our Vacation Ownership segment includes seven vacation ownership brands licensed under exclusive, long-term relationships with Marriott International and Hyatt Hotels Corporation. We are the exclusive worldwide developer, marketer, seller and manager of vacation ownership and related products under the Marriott Vacation Club, Grand Residences by Marriott, Sheraton Vacation Club, Westin Vacation Club, and Hyatt Residence Club brands, as well as under Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, an extension to the Marriott Vacation Club brand. We are also the exclusive worldwide developer, marketer and seller of vacation ownership and related products under The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club brand, we have the non-exclusive right to develop, market and sell whole ownership residential products under The Ritz-Carlton Residences brand and we have a license to use the St. Regis brand for specified fractional ownership resorts. In addition, as part of our acquisition of Welk Hospitality Group, Inc. (“Welk”) through a series of transactions (the “Welk Acquisition”), we acquired a short-term license to use the Welk brand in connection with the continued operations of that business. We intend to rebrand all Welk resorts as Hyatt-branded resorts once we obtain all necessary approvals.

Our Exchange & Third-Party Management segment includes exchange networks and membership programs, as well as management of resorts and lodging properties. We provide these services through a variety of brands including Interval International, Trading Places International (“TPI”), Vacation Resorts International (“VRI”), and Aqua-Aston. Exchange & Third-Party Management revenue generally is fee-based and derived from membership, exchange and rental transactions, property and association management, and other related products and services.

Corporate and other represents that portion of our results that are not allocable to our segments, including those relating to property owners’ associations consolidated under the voting interest model (“Consolidated Property Owners’ Associations”).

Acquisition of Welk

On April 1, 2021, we completed the Welk Acquisition, after which Welk became our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary. The Financial Statements in this report include Welk’s results of operations for the second and third quarters of 2021 and reflect the financial position of our combined company at September 30, 2021. We refer to Welk’s business and brands that we acquired as “Legacy-Welk.”

COVID-19 Pandemic Update

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions in international and U.S. economies and markets. At this time, our businesses continue to ramp up, with the majority of our sales centers, resorts, and other properties having reopened. While our contract sales and financial results remain below pre-pandemic levels, we have continued to experience significant sequential improvement each quarter as we progressed through 2020 and the first three quarters of 2021. We expect that sequential improvement to continue across our businesses during the fourth quarter of 2021. We discuss the COVID-19 pandemic and its current and potential future implications in this report; however, the COVID-19 pandemic, and any recovery therefrom, is evolving and its potential impact on our business in the future remains uncertain.

Significant Accounting Policies Used in Describing Results of Operations

Sale of Vacation Ownership Products

We recognize revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products (“VOIs”) when control of the vacation ownership product is transferred to the customer and the transaction price is deemed collectible. Based upon the different terms of the contracts with the customer and business practices, control of the vacation ownership product is transferred to the customer at closing for Legacy-MVW and Legacy-Welk transactions and upon expiration of the statutory rescission period for Legacy-ILG transactions. Sales of vacation ownership products may be made for cash or we may provide financing. In addition, we recognize settlement fees associated with the transfer of vacation ownership products and commission revenues from sales of vacation ownership products on behalf of third parties, which we refer to as “resales revenue.”

We also provide sales incentives to certain purchasers. These sales incentives typically include Marriott Bonvoy points, World of Hyatt points or an alternative sales incentive that we refer to as “plus points.” These plus points are redeemable for stays at our resorts or for use in other third-party offerings, generally up to two years from the date of issuance. Typically, sales incentives are only awarded if the sale is closed.

There may be timing differences between the date of the contract with the customer and when revenue is recognized. When comparing results year-over-year, this timing difference may generate significant variances, which we refer to as the impact of revenue reportability.

Finally, as more fully described in “Financing” below, we record the difference between the vacation ownership note receivable and the consideration to which we expect to be entitled (also known as a vacation ownership notes receivable reserve or a sales reserve) as a reduction of revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products at the time we recognize revenues from a sale.

We report, on a supplemental basis, contract sales for our Vacation Ownership segment. Contract sales consist of the total amount of vacation ownership product sales under contract signed during the period where we have generally received a down payment of at least ten percent of the contract price, reduced by actual rescissions during the period, inclusive of contracts associated with sales of vacation ownership products on behalf of third-parties, which we refer to as “resales contract sales.” In circumstances where a customer applies any or all of their existing ownership interests as part of the purchase price for additional interests, we include only the incremental value purchased as contract sales. Contract sales differ from revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products that we report on our income statements due to the

Table of Contents

requirements for revenue recognition described above. We consider contract sales to be an important operating measure because it reflects the pace of sales in our business.

Cost of vacation ownership products includes costs to develop and construct our projects (also known as real estate inventory costs), other non-capitalizable costs associated with the overall project development process and settlement expenses associated with the closing process. For each project, we expense real estate inventory costs in the same proportion as the revenue recognized. Consistent with the applicable accounting guidance, to the extent there is a change in the estimated sales revenues or inventory costs for the project in a period, a non-cash adjustment is recorded on our income statements to true-up costs in that period to those that would have been recorded historically if the revised estimates had been used. These true-ups, which we refer to as product cost true-up activity, can have a positive or negative impact on our income statements.

We refer to revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products less the cost of vacation ownership products and marketing and sales costs as Development profit. Development profit margin is calculated by dividing Development profit by revenues from the Sale of vacation ownership products. We 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, we now refer to this financial measure as Development profit. While the calculation remains unchanged, we believe the revised term better depicts the financial results being presented.

Management and Exchange

Our management and exchange revenues include revenues generated from fees we earn for managing each of our vacation ownership resorts, providing property management, property owners’ association management and related services to third-party vacation ownership resorts and fees we earn for providing rental services and related hotel, condominium resort, and property owners’ association management services to vacation property owners.

In addition, we earn revenue from ancillary offerings, including food and beverage outlets, golf courses and other retail and service outlets located at our Vacation Ownership resorts. We also receive annual membership fees, club dues and certain transaction-based fees from members, owners and other third parties.

Management and exchange expenses include costs to operate food and beverage outlets and other ancillary operations and to provide overall customer support services, including reservations, and certain transaction-based expenses relating to external exchange service providers.

In our Vacation Ownership segment and Consolidated Property Owners’ Associations, we refer to these activities as “Resort Management and Other Services.”

Financing

We offer financing to qualified customers for the purchase of most types of our vacation ownership products. The average FICO score of customers who were U.S. citizens or residents who financed a vacation ownership purchase was as follows:


	Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2021	September 30, 2020
Average FICO score	731	731

The typical financing agreement provides for monthly payments of principal and interest with the principal balance of the loan fully amortizing over the term of the related vacation ownership note receivable, which is generally ten to fifteen years. Included within our vacation ownership notes receivable are originated vacation ownership notes receivable and vacation ownership notes receivable acquired in connection with the ILG Acquisition and the Welk Acquisition.

The interest income earned from the originated vacation ownership financing arrangements is earned on an accrual basis on the principal balance outstanding over the contractual life of the arrangement and is recorded as Financing revenues on our Income Statements. Financing revenues also include fees earned from servicing the existing vacation ownership notes receivable portfolio. The amount of interest income earned in a period depends on the amount of outstanding vacation ownership notes receivable, which is impacted positively by the origination of new vacation ownership notes receivable and negatively by principal collections. We calculate financing propensity as contract sales volume of finance contracts originated in the period divided by contract sales volume of all contracts originated in the period. We do not include resales contract sales in the financing propensity calculation. Financing propensity was 60 percent in the third quarter of 2021 and 43 percent in the third quarter of 2020; the higher financing propensity in the third quarter of 2021 is due to a higher percentage of sales during this period to first-time-buyers, who tend to have a higher financing propensity. As we proceed into 2022, we expect to continue to shift back to an increased focus on sales to first-time buyers, which should further increase propensity and

Table of Contents

increase interest income as new originations of vacation ownership notes receivable outpace the decline in principal of existing vacation ownership notes receivable.

In the event of a default, we generally have the right to foreclose on or revoke the underlying VOI. We return VOIs that we reacquire through foreclosure or revocation back to inventory. As discussed above, for originated vacation ownership notes receivable, we record a reserve at the time of sale and classify the reserve as a reduction to revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products on our Income Statements. Historical default rates, which represent defaults as a percentage of each year’s beginning gross vacation ownership notes receivable balance, were as follows:


	Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2021	September 30, 2020
Historical default rates	3.3%	4.9%

Financing expenses include consumer financing interest expense, which represents interest expense associated with the securitization of our vacation ownership notes receivable, costs to support the financing, servicing and securitization processes and changes in expected credit losses related to acquired vacation ownership notes receivable. We distinguish consumer financing interest expense from all other interest expense because the debt associated with the consumer financing interest expense is secured by vacation ownership notes receivable that have been sold to bankruptcy remote special purpose entities and is generally non-recourse to us.

Rental

In our Vacation Ownership segment, we operate a rental business to provide owner flexibility and to help mitigate carrying costs associated with our inventory. We generate revenue from rentals of inventory that we hold for sale as interests in our vacation ownership programs, inventory that we control because our owners have elected alternative usage options permitted under our vacation ownership programs and rentals of owned-hotel properties. We also recognize rental revenue from the utilization of plus points under our points-based products when the points are redeemed for rental stays at one of our resorts or in other third-party offerings. We obtain rental inventory from unsold inventory and inventory we control because owners have elected alternative usage options offered through our vacation ownership programs. For rental revenues associated with vacation ownership products which we own and which are registered and held for sale, to the extent that the revenues from rental are less than costs, revenues are reported net in accordance with ASC Topic 978, “Real Estate - Time-Sharing Activities” (“ASC 978”). The rental activity associated with discounted vacation packages requiring a tour (“preview stays”) is not included in transient rental metrics, and because the majority of these preview stays are sourced directly or indirectly from unsold inventory, the associated revenues and expenses are reported net in Marketing and sales expense.

In our Exchange & Third-Party Management segment, we offer vacation rental opportunities at managed properties through VRI, TPI, and Aqua-Aston. We also offer vacation rental offers knows as Getaways to members of the Interval International Network and certain other membership programs. The offering of Getaways allows us to monetize excess availability of resort accommodations within the applicable exchange network, as well as provide additional vacation opportunities to members. Resort accommodations available as Getaways typically result from seasonal oversupply or underutilized space in the applicable exchange program, as well as resort accommodations specifically sourced for the Getaways program.

Rental expenses include:

•Maintenance and other fees on unsold inventory;

•Costs to provide alternative usage options, including Marriott Bonvoy points, World of Hyatt points and offerings available as part of third-party offerings, for owners who elect to exchange their inventory;

•Marketing costs and direct operating and related expenses in connection with the rental business (such as housekeeping, labor costs, credit card expenses and reservation services); and

•Costs to secure resort accommodations for use in Getaways.

Rental metrics, including the average daily transient rate or the number of transient keys rented, may not be comparable between periods given fluctuation in available occupancy by location, unit size (such as two bedroom, one bedroom or studio unit), owner use and exchange behavior. In addition, rental metrics may not correlate with rental revenues due to the requirement to report certain rental revenues net of rental expenses in accordance with ASC 978 (as discussed above). Further, as our ability to rent certain luxury and other inventory is often limited on a site-by-site basis, rental operations may not generate adequate rental revenues to cover associated costs. Our Vacation Ownership segment units are either “full villas” or “lock-off” villas. Lock-off villas are units that can be separated into a master unit and a guest room. Full villas are “non-lock-off” villas because they cannot be separated. A “key” is the lowest increment for reporting occupancy statistics based upon the mix of non-lock-off and lock-off villas. Lock-off villas typically represent two keys and non-lock-off

Table of Contents

villas represent one key. The “transient keys” metric represents the blended mix of occupancy available for rent and includes all of the combined inventory configurations available in our resort system.

Cost Reimbursements

Cost reimbursements include direct and indirect costs that are reimbursed to us by customers under management contracts. All costs, with the exception of taxes assessed by a governmental authority, reimbursed to us by customers are reported on a gross basis. We recognize cost reimbursements when we incur the related reimbursable costs. Cost reimbursements consist of actual expenses with no added margin.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists of all interest expense other than consumer financing interest expense, which is included within Financing expense.

Transaction and Integration Costs

Transaction and integration costs represent costs related to the acquisitions of ILG and Welk, primarily for financial advisory, legal, and other professional service fees, as well as certain tax related accruals. Transaction and integration costs also include charges for employee retention, severance and other termination related benefits, fees paid to change management consultants and technology-related costs related to the integration and transformation of ILG and Welk.

Other Items

We measure operating performance using the following key metrics:

•Contract sales from the sale of vacation ownership products;

•Total contract sales include contract sales from the sale of vacation ownership products including joint ventures, and

•Consolidated contract sales exclude contract sales from the sale of vacation ownership products for non-consolidated joint ventures

•Development profit margin;

•Volume per guest (“VPG”), which we calculate by dividing consolidated vacation ownership contract sales, excluding fractional sales, telesales, resales, joint venture sales and other sales that are not attributed to a tour at a sales location, by the number of tours at sales locations in a given period (which we refer to as “tour flow”). We believe that this operating metric is valuable in evaluating the effectiveness of the sales process as it combines the impact of average contract price with the number of touring guests who make a purchase;

•Total active members, which is the number of Interval International network active members at the end of the applicable period; and

•Average revenue per member, which we calculate by dividing membership fee revenue, transaction revenue and other member revenue for the Interval International network by the monthly weighted average number of Interval International network active members during the applicable period.

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 described below, 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.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do or may not calculate them at all, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. The table below shows our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculation and reconciles these measures with Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

_______________

(1)Adjustment for sales incentives that will not be recognized as Sale of vacation ownership products revenue and other adjustments to Sale of vacation ownership products revenue.

Sale of vacation ownership products increased $232 million due primarily to $234 million of higher consolidated contract sales volume, net of resales (including $30 million from the acquisition of Welk), a $20 million favorable change in revenue reportability, $4 million of higher settlement revenue, and $4 million of higher resales activity, offset partially by $21 million of higher sales reserve activity and $9 million of higher sales incentives issued (higher settlement revenue, sales incentives issued, and sales reserve activity were driven primarily by the higher contract sales volumes year-over-year).

The higher contract sales performance reflects the continued ramp-up of the business subsequent to the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic late in the prior year first quarter, as well as the inclusion of Welk beginning in the second quarter of 2021. With the reopening of many of our sales centers throughout 2020 and during 2021, and the Welk Acquisition, our contract sales volumes have continued to improve on a sequential basis each quarter and we expect that sequential improvement to continue during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Revenue reportability was slightly positive in the third quarter of 2021 as compared to a negative position historically. While we benefited from contract sales in the second quarter of 2021 being recognized as revenue in the third quarter of 2021, due to the impact of the Delta variant that negatively impacted contract sales late in the third quarter, we did not see a corresponding shift of revenues into the fourth quarter of 2021.

Revenue reportability was negative in the third quarter of 2020 as a result of contract sales late in the third quarter of 2020 that were recognized as revenue in the fourth quarter. Given the low sales volumes in June 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we did not benefit from a shift of revenues from sales late in the second quarter into the third quarter.

(1)Adjustment for sales incentives that will not be recognized as Sale of vacation ownership products revenue and other adjustments to Sale of vacation ownership products revenue.

Sale of vacation ownership products increased $380 million due primarily to $482 million of higher consolidated contract sales volume, net of resales (including $61 million from the acquisition of Welk), $17 million of lower sales reserve activity, and $9 million of higher settlement revenue, and $2 million of higher resales activity, offset partially by a $99 million unfavorable change in revenue reportability, and $31 million of higher sales incentives issued (higher settlement revenue and sales incentives issued were driven by the higher contract sales volumes year-over-year).

The higher contract sales performance reflects the continued ramp-up of the business subsequent to the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic late in the prior year first quarter. With the reopening of the majority of our sales centers throughout 2020 and during the first three quarters of 2021, and the Welk Acquisition, our contract sales volumes have continued to improve on a sequential basis each quarter and we expect that improvement to continue through the remainder of 2021.

The lower sales reserve recorded in the first three quarters of 2021 reflects the prior year increase to the sales reserve to take into account higher expected default and delinquency activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Revenue reportability was negative in the first three quarters of 2021. While we benefited from contract sales in the fourth quarter of 2020 being recognized as revenue in the first three quarters of 2021, given the increasing contract sales volumes due to the reopening of our sales centers as our business continued to ramp-up throughout the first three quarters of 2021, we saw a higher shift of contract sales in the third quarter of 2021 into the fourth quarter for revenue recognition. In contrast, revenue reportability was significantly positive in the first three quarters of 2020. The first three quarters of 2020 benefited from the contract sales from late in the fourth quarter of 2019 that were recognized as revenue in 2020. However, the first three quarters of 2020 were not impacted by a corresponding shift of revenues into the fourth quarter, given the low contract sales volumes in the third quarter of 2020 resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Resort management and other services revenues reflected higher ancillary revenues, including revenues from food and beverage and golf offerings, as a result of the continued ramp-up of the business subsequent to the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic late in the prior year first quarter, as well as higher management fees and $8 million of revenues from the Welk Acquisition. Resort occupancies have continued to increase throughout 2021 as our resorts that were closed at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic have reopened. We expect this trend in business improvement to continue throughout the remainder of 2021.

The increase in resort management and other services profit reflected the higher ancillary expenses as a result of the higher ancillary revenues mentioned above.

Resort occupancy	85.0%		24.5%		60.5 pts

_________________________

(1)Transient keys rented exclude those occupied through the use of plus points and preview stays.

The improvement in rental profit resulted from an increase in transient keys rented and a higher average transient rate due to the continued ramp-up of the business subsequent to the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic late in the prior year first quarter as well as from higher plus point revenue as COVID-19-related restrictions continued to ease. These increases were partially offset by higher inventory carrying costs (due to low sales volumes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the acquisition of new inventory in the first quarter of 2021, and higher utilization of third-party vacation offerings for owners who elect to exchange their inventory).

As the majority of the governmental restrictions in response to the pandemic that caused rental activity to decline, such as travel restrictions and quarantine requirements, have been lifted, we expect rental occupancies to continue to increase throughout the remainder of 2021.

Financing Revenues, Expenses and Profit

Financing revenues	69		64		5		8%

Consumer financing interest expense	(12)		(15)		3		21%
Financing profit	$	47	$	40	$	7	16%
Financing propensity	59.6%		42.9%

Financing revenues increased due to the Welk Acquisition, which contributed $11 million for the third quarter of 2021. Excluding the impact of the Welk Acquisition, financing revenues declined $6 million due to a $200 million decrease in the average net vacation ownership notes receivable balance resulting from the continued pay-down of the existing vacation ownership notes receivable portfolio without a corresponding increase in the portfolio from new loan originations. As contract sales volumes continue to grow throughout the fourth quarter of 2021, we expect that this growth from new loan originations should more than offset the normal decline from loan payment activity, which would cause interest income to increase. Financing expenses increased due to higher salaries and wages and foreclosure costs as well as less than $1 million of higher costs from the Welk Acquisition. Lower consumer financing interest expense resulted from the continued pay-down of securitized debt balances. The higher financing propensity reflects a higher mix of sales to first time buyers, who tend to have a higher financing propensity. The low propensity in the prior year reflected the impact of sales programs that incented cash purchases during the initial periods of the COVID-19 pandemic. As we move into 2022, we expect to continue to shift back to an increased focus on sales to first-time buyers, which should increase propensity (60 percent or higher) and increase interest income as new originations of vacation ownership notes receivable outpace the decline in principal of existing vacation ownership notes receivable.

Financing propensity	53.4%		51.0%

The Welk Acquisition provided $21 million of incremental revenues in the first three quarters of 2021. Excluding the impact of Welk activity, financing revenues decreased due to a $296 million decrease in the average net vacation ownership notes receivable balance resulting from the continued pay-down of the existing vacation ownership notes receivable portfolio without a corresponding increase from new loan originations. As contract sales volumes continue to grow through the remainder of 2021, we expect that this growth should begin to more than offset the normal decline from loan payment activity, which would cause interest income to increase. Financing expenses decreased due to $14 million of higher credit losses associated with acquired vacation ownership notes receivable in the prior year quarter. Lower consumer financing interest expense resulted from the continued pay-down of securitized debt balances, offset partially by $1 million of costs from the Welk Acquisition. The higher financing propensity reflects a higher mix of sales to first time buyers, who tend to have a higher financing propensity.

The increase in management and exchange revenue and profit reflected higher management fees and exchange revenue due to the continued ramp-up of the business subsequent to the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic late in the prior year first quarter. These increases were partially offset by lower membership revenue as a result of lower renewal activity, driven by a 15% decline in active members in the third quarter and first three quarters of 2021, primarily due to the non-renewal of one of Interval International’s corporate customers which the Company announced in February of 2021. For Interval International, exchange transactions and average exchange fee increased 5 percent and 3 percent, respectively, over the prior year comparable periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Typically, our capital needs are supported by cash on hand ($0.4 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2021), cash generated from operations, our ability to raise capital through securitizations in the asset-backed security market, our ability to issue debt and, to the extent necessary, funds available under the Warehouse Credit Facility and the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility with a borrowing capacity of $600 million.

At September 30, 2021, we had $4.6 billion of total gross debt outstanding, which included $1.6 billion of non-recourse debt associated with vacation ownership notes receivable securitizations, $0.9 billion of senior unsecured notes, $0.8 billion of debt under our Corporate Credit Facility, $0.8 billion of convertible notes, $0.5 billion of senior secured notes, and $9 million related to finance lease obligations.

At September 30, 2021, we had $732 million of completed real estate inventory on hand. In addition, we had $465 million of completed vacation ownership units that have been classified as a component of Property and equipment until the time at which they are legally registered and held for sale as vacation ownership products.

Cash from Operating Activities

Our primary sources of funds from operations are (1) cash sales and down payments on financed sales, (2) cash from our financing operations, including principal and interest payments received on outstanding vacation ownership notes receivable, (3) cash from fee-based membership, exchange and rental transactions and (4) net cash generated from our rental and resort management and other services operations. Outflows include spending for the development of new phases of existing resorts, the acquisition of additional inventory, enhancement of our inventory exchange network of resorts and related technology infrastructure and funding our working capital needs.

We minimize our working capital needs through cash management, strict credit-granting policies and disciplined collection efforts. Our working capital needs fluctuate throughout the year given the timing of annual maintenance fees on unsold inventory we pay to property owners’ associations and certain annual compensation-related outflows. In addition, our cash from operations varies due to the timing of our owners’ repayment of vacation ownership notes receivable, the closing or recording of sales contracts for vacation ownership products, financing propensity and cash outlays for inventory acquisition and development.

In the first three quarters of 2021, we had $303 million of cash inflows from operating activities, compared to $158 million of cash inflows in the first three quarters of 2020. Excluding the impact of changes in net loss and adjustments for non-cash items, cash flow increased as a result of higher operational expense accruals, higher sales and rental deposits due to the continued ramp-up of the business, and higher collections of vacation ownership notes receivable, partially offset by severance and benefit payments related to cost management activities and higher inventory spending.

In addition to net loss and adjustments for non-cash items, the following operating activities are key drivers of our cash flow from operating activities:

Inventory Spending In Excess of Cost of Sales

Inventory costs	159		86
Inventory spending in excess of cost of sales	$	(41)	$	(63)

Our Vacation Ownership segment product offerings allow us to utilize our inventory efficiently. The majority of our sales are of points-based products, which permits us to sell vacation ownership products at most of our sales locations, including those where little or no weeks-based inventory remains available for sale. Because we do not need specific resort-based inventory at each sales location, we need to have only a few resorts, if any, under construction at any given time and can leverage successful sales locations at completed resorts. This allows us to maintain long-term sales locations and reduces the need to develop and staff on-site sales locations at smaller projects in the future. We believe our points-based programs enables us to better align our inventory acquisitions with the pace of sales of vacation ownership products.

As part of our long-term strategy, we selectively pursue growth opportunities in our Vacation Ownership segment by targeting high-quality inventory that allows us to add desirable new destinations to our systems with new on-site sales locations through transactions that limit our up-front capital investment and allow us to purchase finished inventory closer to the time it is needed for sale. These capital efficient deal structures may consist of the development of new inventory, or the conversion of previously built units, by third parties just prior to sale.

Table of Contents

We measure our real estate inventory capital efficiency by comparing the cash outflow for real estate inventory spending (a cash item) to the amount of real estate inventory costs charged to expense on our income statements related to sale of vacation ownership products (a non-cash item).

Our spending for real estate inventory in the first three quarters of 2021 was higher than the amount of real estate inventory costs given the timing of payments to satisfy our remaining commitments to purchase vacation ownership units and the slowdown in sales pace as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We entered into these commitments in prior periods as part of our capital efficient strategy to limit our up-front capital investment and purchase finished inventory closer to the time it is needed for sale. See Footnote 11 “Contingencies and Commitments” to our Financial Statements for additional information regarding our remaining commitments.

Through our existing vacation ownership interest repurchase program, we proactively buy back previously sold vacation ownership interests at lower costs than would be required to develop new inventory. By repurchasing inventory, we expect to be able to help stabilize the future cost of vacation ownership products.

Vacation ownership notes receivable collections in excess of originations	$	(13)	$	222

Vacation ownership notes receivable collections include principal from non-securitized and securitized vacation ownership notes receivable. Vacation ownership notes receivable collections increased during the first three quarters of 2021, as compared to the first three quarters of 2020, due to an increase in the portfolio of securitized outstanding vacation ownership notes receivable. Vacation ownership notes receivable originations in the first three quarters of 2021 increased due to higher sales in the first three quarters of 2021 due to the continued ramp-up in the business combined with a higher financing propensity. Financing propensity increased to 53 percent for the first three quarters of 2021, compared to 51 percent for the first three quarters of 2020, reflecting a higher mix of sales to first-time buyers, who tend to have a higher financing propensity.

Capital Expenditures for Property and Equipment

Capital expenditures for property and equipment relate to spending for technology development, buildings and equipment used at sales locations and ancillary offerings, such as food and beverage offerings, at locations where such offerings are provided. Additionally, it includes spending related to buildings and equipment used in common areas at some of our resorts.

In the first three quarters of 2021, capital expenditures for property and equipment of $19 million included $16 million to support business operations (including $11 million for ancillary and other operations assets and $5 million for sales locations) and $3 million for technology. Given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we significantly reduced our spending for property and equipment beginning in the second quarter of 2020. However, during the first quarter of 2021, and continuing into the second and third quarters, we began to add back business critical spending with expected long term strategic benefits for our operations. We expect this trend to continue into the fourth quarter of 2021.

Table of Contents

In the first three quarters of 2020, capital expenditures for property and equipment of $36 million included $33 million to support business operations (including $21 million for ancillary and other operations assets and $12 million for sales locations) and $3 million for technology.

Purchase of Company Owned Life Insurance

To support our ability to meet a portion of our obligations under the Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), we acquired company owned insurance policies on the lives of certain participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan, the proceeds of which are intended to be aligned with the investment alternatives elected by plan participants. We paid $11 million and $3 million to acquire these policies during the first three quarters of 2021 and the first three quarters of 2020, respectively.

Borrowings from / Repayment of Debt Related to Securitization Transactions

We reflect proceeds from securitizations of vacation ownership notes receivable, including draw downs on the Warehouse Credit Facility, as “Borrowings from securitization transactions.” We reflect repayments of debt associated with vacation ownership notes receivable securitizations and repayments on the Warehouse Credit Facility (including vacation ownership notes receivable repurchases) as “Repayment of debt related to securitization transactions.”

During the first three quarters of 2021, we completed a securitization of vacation ownership notes 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 one of our securitizations, generating net proceeds of $425 million. See Footnote 12 "Securitized Debt" to our Financial Statements for additional information regarding this transaction.

As of September 30, 2021, $278 million of gross vacation ownership notes receivable were eligible for securitization.

Proceeds from / Repayments of Debt

Borrowings from / Repayment of Corporate Credit Facility

During the first three quarters of 2021, we repaid $100 million of the amount outstanding under the Term Loan, which is part of our Corporate Credit Facility. We had no borrowings or repayments under our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility during the first three quarters of 2021 and also had no amounts outstanding as of September 30, 2021.

During the first three quarters of 2020, we borrowed $666 million under our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility to facilitate the funding of our short-term working capital needs and to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of the impact on global markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. We later repaid $696 million during the first three quarters of 2020 and had no amounts outstanding as of September 30, 2020. During the first three quarters of 2020, we also repaid $7 million of the amount outstanding under the Term Loan.

See Footnote 13 “Debt” to our Financial Statements for additional information regarding our Corporate Credit Facility that includes our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility and the Term Loan.

Proceeds from / Repayment of Senior Notes

During the second quarter of 2021, we issued $500 million of 2029 Notes and used the proceeds, during the third quarter of 2021, to redeem a portion of the 2026 Notes and pay transaction expenses and fees in connection with the transaction.

In July 2021, we redeemed, prior to maturity, $500 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes pursuant to a redemption notice issued in June 2021 and the terms of the indenture governing the 2026 Notes. In September 2021 we issued a redemption notice and redeemed, prior to maturity, the remaining $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2026 Notes. In connection with the redemptions that occurred during the third quarter of 2021, we incurred charges of $36 million, inclusive of a redemption premium and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, which was recorded in the Losses and other expense, net line on our Income Statement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Additionally, during the third quarter of 2021, we delivered a redemption notice of $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2025 Notes. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2021, we redeemed, prior to maturity, $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes. In connection with this redemption, we expect to incur charges of approximately $19 million, inclusive of a redemption premium and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, which will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2021.

During the first three quarters of 2020, we issued $500 million of the 2025 Notes that are pari passu with and secured by the same collateral as our Corporate Credit Facility. After deducting offering expenses and the underwriting discount, we received net proceeds of approximately $493 million from the offering of the 2025 Notes, which were used to repay all then outstanding amounts on the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility.

See Footnote 13 "Debt" to our Financial Statements for additional information related to these notes.

Proceeds from Convertible Notes

During the first three quarters of 2021, we issued $575 million of 2026 Convertible Notes, as discussed further in Footnote 13 “Debt” to our Financial Statements. We received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $530 million after adjusting for debt issuance costs, including the discount to the initial purchasers, the cost of the 2026 Convertible Note Hedges, and proceeds from the 2026 Warrants. We used, or expect to use, the net proceeds from the 2026 Convertible Notes to (i) complete the Welk Acquisition, (ii) repay a portion of our term loan and (iii) in each case, pay transaction expenses and other fees in connection therewith, and to the extent of any remaining proceeds, for other general corporate purposes.

Repayment of Debt Assumed from Welk Acquisition

During the first three quarters of 2021, subsequent to the Welk Acquisition, we repaid all outstanding debt obligations, excluding securitized debt, of Welk and its subsidiaries that were assumed as part of the Welk Acquisition. The total amount of repayments related to these debt obligations was $189 million.

Purchase of Convertible Note Hedges / Proceeds from Issuance of Warrants

In connection with the issuance of the 2026 Convertible Notes, we entered into the 2026 Convertible Note Hedges with respect to our common stock with certain counterparties, covering a total of 3.4 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $100 million. Concurrently with the entry into the 2026 Convertible Note Hedges, we separately entered into the 2026 Warrants, whereby we sold to the counterparties to the 2026 Convertible Note Hedges warrants to acquire, collectively, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 3.4 million shares of our common stock at an initial strike price of $213.76 per share. We received aggregate proceeds of $70 million from the sale of the 2026 Warrants to the counterparties.

See Footnote 13 “Debt” to our Financial Statements for additional information regarding the issuance of the 2026 Convertible Notes, including the 2026 Convertible Note Hedges and the 2026 Warrants.

Finance Lease Payment

During the first three quarters of 2021, we paid $2 million related to our finance lease obligations for technology and business operations equipment.

During the first three quarters of 2020, in conjunction with the acquisition of the 57 completed vacation ownership units at our Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, New York City property, we made finance lease payments of $7 million related to the purchase of the accompanying ancillary and office space. Additionally, we paid $3 million related to our finance lease obligations for technology and business operations equipment.

Debt Issuance Costs

During the first three quarters of 2021, we paid $17 million of debt issuance costs, which included $7 million associated with the 2029 Notes, $6 million associated with the 2021 vacation ownership notes receivable securitization, $2 million associated with the amendment of our Warehouse Credit Facility, $1 million associated with the 2026 Convertible Notes, and $1 million associated with the extension of the Waiver associated with the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility.

During the first three quarters of 2020, we paid $14 million of debt issuance costs, which included $7 million associated with the 2025 Notes, $5 million associated with the 2020 vacation ownership notes receivable securitization, $1 million related to the Waiver associated with the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility, and $1 million associated with the amendment of our Warehouse Credit Facility.

Dividends

We declared cash dividends to holders of our common stock during the third quarter of 2021, and distributed cash dividends subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2021 as follows:

Declaration Date

Shareholder Record Date

Distribution Date

Dividend per Share

September 10, 2021

September 23, 2021

October 7, 2021

$0.54

We currently expect to pay quarterly dividends in the future, but any future dividend payments will be subject to Board approval, which will depend on our financial condition, results of operations and capital requirements, as well as applicable law, regulatory constraints, industry practice and other business considerations that our Board of Directors considers relevant. In addition, our Corporate Credit Facility and the indentures governing our senior notes contain restrictions on our ability to pay dividends, and the terms of agreements governing the debt that we may incur in the future may also limit or prohibit the payment of dividends. The payment of certain cash dividends may also result in an adjustment to the conversion rate of our convertible notes in a manner adverse to us. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will pay dividends in the future at the same rate or at all.

Supplemental Guarantor Information

The 2028 Notes are guaranteed by MVWC, Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc. (“MORI”), and certain other subsidiaries whose voting securities are wholly owned directly or indirectly by MORI (such subsidiaries collectively, the “Senior Notes Guarantors”). These guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. The guarantees of the Senior Notes Guarantors are subject to release in limited circumstances only upon the occurrence of certain customary conditions.

The following tables present consolidating financial information as of September 30, 2021 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 for MVWC and MORI on a stand-alone basis (collectively, the “Issuers”), the Senior Notes Guarantors, the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries of MVW, and MVW on a consolidated basis.

_________________________

(1)Includes principal as well as interest payments and excludes unamortized debt discount and issuance costs.

(2)Arrangements are considered purchase obligations if a contract specifies all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, a pricing structure, and approximate timing of the transaction. Amounts reflected represent expected funding under such contracts. Amounts reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as accounts payable and accrued liabilities are excluded from the table above.

(3)Includes interest.

(4)Primarily relates to future guaranteed purchases of rental inventory, operational support services, marketing related benefits, membership fulfillment benefits, and other commitments.

In the normal course of our resort management business, we enter into purchase commitments on behalf of property owners’ associations to manage the daily operating needs of our resorts. Since we are reimbursed for these commitments from the cash flows of the resorts, these obligations have minimal impact on our net income and cash flow.

Leases That Have Not Yet Commenced

During the first quarter of 2020, we entered into a finance lease arrangement for our new global headquarters in Orlando, Florida. The new Orlando corporate office building is currently expected to be completed in 2023, at which time the lease term will commence and a right-of-use asset and corresponding liability will be recorded on our balance sheet. The initial lease term is approximately 16 years with total lease payments of $129 million for the aforementioned period. See Footnote 11 “Contingencies and Commitments” to our Financial Statements for additional information on this lease, including additional arrangements made as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Footnote 2 “Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards” to our Financial Statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements, including information on new accounting standards and the future adoption of such standards.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We have discussed those policies and estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Since the date of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially from that disclosed in Part I, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, other than as set forth below.

During the first quarter of 2021, we issued $575 million of 2026 Convertible Notes. Holders may convert the 2026 Convertible Notes prior to maturity upon the occurrence of certain circumstances. Upon conversion, holders of the 2026 Convertible Notes will receive cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election.

Concurrently with the issuance of the 2026 Convertible Notes, we entered into convertible note hedges and warrants as discussed further in Footnote 13 “Debt” to these Financial Statements. Taken together, these separate transactions were intended to reduce the potential economic dilution to our common stock from the conversion of the 2026 Convertible Notes.

The 2026 Convertible Notes have a fixed annual interest rate of 0.00 percent and, therefore, we do not have economic interest rate exposure on our 2026 Convertible Notes. However, the fair market value of the 2026 Convertible Notes is exposed to interest rate risk. Generally, the fair market value of the 2026 Convertible Notes will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. In addition, the fair market value of the 2026 Convertible Notes is affected by our stock price and will increase as our stock price increases and decrease as our stock price decreases. The net carrying value of the 2026 Convertible Notes was $455 million as of September 30, 2021. This represents the liability component of the principal balance of the 2026 Convertible Notes, net of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, as of September 30, 2021. The total estimated fair market value of the 2026 Convertible Notes was $648 million as of September 30, 2021, and the fair market value was determined based on the quoted market price of the 2026 Convertible Notes in an over-the-counter market as of the last day of trading for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. For further information see Footnote 7 “Financial Instruments” and Footnote 13 “Debt” to these Financial Statements.

During the second quarter of 2021, we issued $500 million of 2029 Notes. During the third quarter of 2021, we redeemed, prior to maturity, a total of $750 million of our 2026 Notes ($500 million in July and the remaining $250 million in September). Refer to Footnote 13 “Debt” to these Financial Statements for additional information, including our redemption, prior to maturity, of $250 million of our 2025 Notes subsequent to the end of the third quarter.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), and management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance about management’s control objectives. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. However, the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and we cannot assure you that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Based upon the foregoing evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and operating to provide reasonable assurance that we record, process, summarize and report the information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and to provide reasonable assurance that we accumulate and communicate such information to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions about required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the second quarter of 2021, we completed the Welk Acquisition. We are currently in the process of assessing Welk’s internal control over financial reporting and integrating Welk’s internal control over financial reporting with our existing internal control over financial reporting. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Currently, and from time to time, we are subject to claims in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business, including, among others, the legal actions discussed in Footnote 11 “Contingencies and Commitments” to our Financial Statements. While management presently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm our financial position, cash flows, or overall trends in results of operations, legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and unfavorable rulings could, individually or in aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Annual Report”). The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened, and in some cases, manifested, certain of the risks we normally face in our business, including those disclosed in the 2020 Annual Report.
