Company Results

Total company contract sales were $198.4 million, a $36.8 million, or 23 percent, increase from $161.6 million in the first quarter of 2014. The increase was driven by $30.5 million of higher contract sales in the company's Asia Pacific segment, including $28.4 million of residential sales, and $9.5 million of higher contract sales in the company's North America segment, partially offset by $3.2 million of lower contract sales in the company's Europe segment.

Adjusted development margin was $33.9 million, a $4.4 million increase from the first quarter of 2014. Adjusted development margin percentage was 21.6 percent in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 19.8 percent in the first quarter of 2014. Development margin was $38.9 million, a $12.2 million increase from the first quarter of 2014.

Rental revenues totaled $76.2 million, a $12.7 million increase from the first quarter of 2014, reflecting a 10 percent increase in transient keys and a 6 percent increase in transient rate. Rental revenues, net of expenses, were $16.0 million, a $9.3 million increase from the first quarter of 2014.

Resort management and other services revenues totaled $64.4 million, a $0.9 million increase from the first quarter of 2014. Resort management and other services revenues, net of expenses, were $22.0 million, a $3.4 million, or 18 percent, increase over the first quarter of 2014.

Segment Results

North America

VPG increased 4.7 percent to $3,640 in the first quarter of 2015 from $3,477 in the first quarter of 2014, driven mainly by improved closing efficiency and higher pricing, offset partially by fewer points purchased per contract. North America contract sales were $156.0 million in the first quarter of 2015, an increase of $9.5 million, or more than 6 percent, over the prior year period. Excluding the impact of residential sales in the first quarter of 2014, North America vacation ownership contract sales increased $15.8 million, or 11 percent, over the prior year period.

First quarter 2015 North America segment financial results were $97.7 million, an increase of $18.1 million from the first quarter of 2014. The increase was driven by $8.8 million of higher rental revenues net of expenses, $5.1 million of higher development margin, $3.5 million of higher resort management and other services net of expenses and $2.0 million from a charge in the prior year period in connection with the company's interest in an equity method investment in a joint venture project in its North America segment, partially offset by $1.5 million of lower financing revenues.

Adjusted development margin was $34.4 million, a $4.6 million increase from the prior year quarter. Adjusted development margin percentage was 23.7 percent in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 22.0 percent in the first quarter of 2014. Development margin was $32.2 million, a $5.1 million increase from the first quarter of 2014. Development margin percentage was 22.7 percent in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 20.7 percent in the prior year quarter.

Asia Pacific

Total contract sales in the segment were $37.1 million, an increase of $30.5 million in the first quarter of 2015, reflecting $28.4 million of residential contract sales from the sale of all 18 units at its former Macau location. Segment financial results were $9.4 million, an $8.0 million increase from the first quarter of 2014, reflecting $7.7 million of higher development margin. Excluding the $28.4 million of residential sales, Asia Pacific contract sales were $8.7 million, $2.0 million higher than the first quarter of last year, and adjusted segment results were $3.5 million, a $2.0 million increase from the first quarter of 2014.

Europe

First quarter 2015 contract sales were $5.3 million, a decrease of $3.2 million from the first quarter of 2014. Segment financial results were breakeven, a $1.4 million decrease from the first quarter of 2014 due to lower development margin from lower contract sales.

Share Repurchase Program

During the first quarter of 2015, the company repurchased approximately $51 million of its common stock.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

On March 27, 2015, cash and cash equivalents totaled $272.2 million. Since the beginning of the year, real estate inventory balances declined $48.3 million to $720.0 million, including $361.2 million of finished goods and $358.8 million of land and infrastructure. The company had $632.6 million in gross debt outstanding at the end of the first quarter of 2015, a decrease of $78.7 million from year-end 2014, consisting primarily of $629.2 million in gross non-recourse securitized notes. In addition, $40.0 million of gross mandatorily redeemable preferred stock of a subsidiary of the company was outstanding at the end of the first quarter of 2015.

As of March 27, 2015, the company had $197 million in available capacity under its revolving credit facility after taking into account outstanding letters of credit, and approximately $94 million of gross vacation ownership notes receivable eligible for securitization.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In our press release and schedules, and on the related conference call, we report certain financial measures that are not prescribed or authorized by United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We discuss our reasons for reporting these non-GAAP financial measures below, and the financial schedules reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to each non-GAAP financial measure that we report (identified by a double asterisk ("**") on the preceding pages). Although we evaluate and present these non-GAAP financial measures for the reasons described below, please be aware that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenues, net income, earnings per share or any other comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated and / or presented differently than measures with the same or similar names that are reported by other companies, and as a result, the non-GAAP financial measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.

Adjusted Net Income. We evaluate non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Development Margin, that exclude certain items in the 12 weeks ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014, and exclude gains on a disposition in the 12 weeks ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014, because these non-GAAP financial measures allow for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of certain items and gains. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate our comparison of results from our on-going core operations before certain items and gains with results from other vacation ownership companies.

Certain items - 12 weeks ended March 27, 2015. In our Statement of Income for the 12 weeks ended March 27, 2015, we recorded $6.0 million of net pre-tax items, which included a $28.4 million adjustment to exclude the bulk sale of 18 units in our Asia Pacific segment recorded under the "sale of vacation ownership products" caption, with corresponding adjustments of $21.6 million and $0.9 million to the "Cost of vacation ownership products" and Marketing and sales" captions, respectively, and $0.2 million of organizational and separation related costs recorded under the "Organizational and separation related" caption, partially offset by a $0.3 million reversal of an accrual associated with a 2014 golf course disposition recorded under the "Litigation settlement" caption because actual costs were lower than expected.

Certain items - 12 weeks ended March 28, 2014. In our Statement of Income for the 12 weeks ended March 28, 2014, we recorded $2.7 million of net pre-tax items, which included a $2.0 million increase in our accrual for remaining costs we expect to incur in connection with our interest in an equity method investment in a joint venture project in our North America segment recorded under the "Impairment charge on equity investment" caption and $0.9 million of organizational and separation related costs recorded under the "Organizational and separation related" caption, partially offset by a $0.2 million reversal of a severance accrual in our Europe segment recorded under the "Resort management and other services" caption because actual costs were lower than expected.

Gain on the disposition of a golf course and adjacent undeveloped land - 12 weeks ended March 27, 2015. In our Statement of Income for the 12 weeks ended March 27, 2015, we recorded a net $0.9 million gain associated with the sale of a golf course and adjacent undeveloped land in our North America segment under the "Gains and other income" caption.

Gain on the disposition of a golf course and adjacent undeveloped land - 12 weeks ended March 28, 2014. In our Statement of Income for the 12 weeks ended March 28, 2014, we recorded a net $1.2 million gain associated with the sale of a golf course and adjacent undeveloped land in our North America segment under the "Gains and other income" caption.

Adjusted Development Margin (Adjusted Sale of Vacation Ownership Products Net of Expenses). We evaluate Adjusted Development Margin (Adjusted Sale of Vacation Ownership Products Net of Expenses) as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted Development Margin adjusts Sale of vacation ownership products revenues for the impact of revenue reportability, includes corresponding adjustments to Cost of vacation ownership products expense and Marketing and sales expense associated with the change in revenues from the Sale of vacation ownership products, and includes adjustments for certain items as itemized in the discussion of Adjusted Net Income above. We evaluate Adjusted Development Margin because it allows for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of revenue reportability and certain items to our Development Margin.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"). EBITDA is defined as earnings, or net income, before interest expense (excluding consumer financing interest expense), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. For purposes of our EBITDA calculation (which previously adjusted for consumer financing interest expense), we do not adjust for consumer financing interest expense because the associated debt is secured by vacation ownership notes receivable that have been sold to bankruptcy remote special purpose entities and is generally non-recourse to us. Further, we consider consumer financing interest expense to be an operating expense of our business.

We consider EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance, and we use it to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand our business. We also use it, as do analysts, lenders, investors and others, because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company's capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies.

Adjusted EBITDA. We also evaluate Adjusted EBITDA, which reflects additional adjustments for certain items and gains, as itemized in the discussion of Adjusted Net Income above. We evaluate Adjusted EBITDA as an indicator of operating performance because it allows for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of certain items and gains. Together, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA facilitate our comparison of results from our on-going core operations before the impact of certain items and gains with results from other vacation ownership companies.

Free Cash Flow. We also evaluate Free Cash Flow as a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash provided by operating activities after capital expenditures for property and equipment, changes in restricted cash, and the borrowing and repayment activity related to our securitizations. We consider Free Cash Flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that can be used for strategic opportunities, including acquisitions and strengthening the balance sheet. Analysis of Free Cash Flow also facilitates management's comparison of our results with our competitors' results.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow. We also evaluate Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which reflects additional adjustments for organizational and separation related, litigation, and other cash items, as referred to in the discussion of Adjusted Net Income above. We evaluate Adjusted Free Cash Flow as a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash provided by operating activities after capital expenditures for property and equipment, changes in restricted cash, and the borrowing and repayment activity related to our securitizations, excluding the impact of organizational and separation related, litigation, and other cash charges. We consider Adjusted Free Cash Flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that can be used for strategic opportunities, including acquisitions and strengthening the balance sheet. Analysis of Adjusted Free Cash Flow also facilitates management's comparison of our results with our competitors' results.

Normalized Adjusted Free Cash Flow. We also evaluate Normalized Adjusted Free Cash Flow as a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash provided by operating activities after capital expenditures for property and equipment, changes in restricted cash, the borrowing and repayment activity related to our securitizations, and adjustments to remove the impact of cash flow items not expected to occur on a regular basis. Adjustments eliminate the impact of excess cash taxes, payments for Marriott Rewards Points issued prior to the Spin-off, payments for organizational and separation related efforts, litigation cash settlements and other working capital changes. We consider Normalized Adjusted Free Cash Flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that can be used for strategic opportunities, including acquisitions and strengthening the balance sheet. Analysis of Normalized Adjusted Free Cash Flow also facilitates management's comparison of our results with our competitors' results.
