"Our first quarter results were in-line with our expectations as we continue our journey to execute our long term growth strategies," said Stephen P. Weisz, president and chief executive officer. "First time buyer tours were up in the quarter, sales of new tour packages continue to grow ahead of expectations, and we have six new sales distributions coming on-line this year.  For these reasons and more, I remain confident in our overall strategy and in reaffirming our previously provided full year 2016 guidance."

  • Adjusted resort management and other services revenues, net of expenses, totaled $23.6 million, a $1.6 million, or 7.4 percent, increase from the first quarter of 2015.

First Quarter 2016 Results

Company Results

Total company vacation ownership contract sales were $153.5 million, $16.5 million lower than the first quarter of last year. The decrease was driven mainly by $15.9 million of lower contract sales to existing owners in the company's North America segment, as the prior year benefited from enhancements the company made to owner recognition levels. These enhancements helped drive a 7 percent increase in owner tours and a 1.4 point improvement in owner closing efficiency last year, resulting in contract sales growth of over 10 percent as compared to the first quarter of 2014. In addition, our Latin America sales channels were down roughly $2.5 million compared to the first quarter of last year, as the company continued to be impacted by a stronger U.S. dollar.

Adjusted development margin was $23.7 million, a $10.1 million decrease from the first quarter of 2015. Adjusted development margin percentage was 17.3 percent in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 21.6 percent in the first quarter of 2015 reflecting higher marketing and sales spending which included costs to drive future tour flow and start-up costs associated with the company's new sales distributions as well as the impact of lower contract sales volumes. Development margin was $24.3 million, a $14.6 million decrease from the first quarter of 2015. Development margin percentage was 17.6 percent in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 21.2 percent in the first quarter of 2015.

Excluding the results of operations for the portion of the Surfers Paradise, Australia property that the company intends to sell, adjusted rental revenues totaled $78.2 million, a $2.0 million increase from the first quarter of 2015. Results reflected $1.4 million of higher revenue from operating properties we intend to convert to timeshare inventory, and $0.4 million of higher plus points revenue. Rental revenues net of expenses were $15.6 million, a $0.4 million decrease from the first quarter of 2015.

Excluding the results of operations for the portion of the Surfers Paradise, Australia property that the company intends to sell, adjusted resort management and other services revenues totaled $67.9 million, a $3.5 million increase from the first quarter of 2015. Adjusted resort management and other services revenues, net of expenses, were $23.6 million, a $1.6 million increase, or 7.4 percent, over the first quarter of 2015. Resort management and other services revenues, net of expenses, totaled $23.8 million, a $1.8 million increase, or 8.3 percent, from the first quarter of 2015.

Financing revenues totaled $29.2 million, a $0.2 million increase from the first quarter of 2015. Financing revenues, net of expenses and consumer financing interest expense, were $19.2 million, a $1.1 million increase, or 6.1 percent, from the first quarter of 2015.

General and administrative expenses were $25.3 million in the first quarter of 2016, a $2.5 million increase from the first quarter of 2015, driven by nearly $2 million of higher spending related to enhancements to the company's owner facing technology as well as inflationary cost increases.

Adjusted EBITDA was $51.6 million in the first quarter of 2016, an $8.6 million, or 14.2 percent, decrease from $60.2 million in the first quarter of 2015.

Segment Results

North America

North America vacation ownership contract sales were $139.7 million in the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of $16.3 million, or 10.5 percent, from the prior year period. The decrease was driven mainly by $15.9 million of lower contract sales to existing owners, as the prior year benefited from enhancements the company made to owner recognition levels that helped drive a 7 percent increase in owner tours and a 1.4 point improvement in owner closing efficiency, resulting in contract sales growth of over 10 percent as compared to the first quarter of 2014. In addition, our Latin America sales channels were down roughly $2.5 million, as the company continued to be impacted by a stronger U.S. dollar.

Total tours in the first quarter of 2016 decreased 4.0 percent, driven by a decline in owner tours, which were down nearly 7 percent year-over-year. VPG decreased 3.9 percent to $3,496 in the first quarter of 2016 from $3,640 in the first quarter of 2015, driven by an 8 percent decline in owner VPG.  The overall decline in VPG in the quarter was driven by lower closing efficiency, offset partially by higher points purchased per contract and pricing. 

First quarter 2016 North America adjusted segment financial results were $91.5 million, a decrease of $5.2 million from the first quarter of 2015. The decrease was driven primarily by $6.5 million of lower development margin and $0.6 million of lower rental revenues net of expenses. These decreases were partially offset by $1.9 million of higher resort management and other services revenues net of expenses and $0.4 million of higher financing revenues. North America segment financial results were $89.5 million, an $8.2 million decrease from the first quarter of 2015.

Adjusted development margin was $25.7 million, an $8.7 million decrease from the prior year quarter. Adjusted development margin percentage was 20.6 percent in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 23.7 percent in the first quarter of 2015. Development margin was $25.7 million, a $6.5 million decrease from the first quarter of 2015. Development margin percentage was 20.6 percent in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 22.7 percent in the prior year quarter.

Asia Pacific

Total vacation ownership contract sales in the segment were $9.4 million, an increase of $0.8 million, or nearly 9 percent, from the first quarter of 2015. Adjusted segment financial results were $1.0 million, a $2.5 million decrease from the first quarter of 2015. Adjusted development margin was $2.2 million lower than the first quarter of last year, reflecting $0.8 million of higher marketing and sales costs related to start-up costs associated with the company's new sales distribution in Surfers Paradise, Australia and $1.1 million of positive product cost true-up activity in 2015. Segment financial results were $1.0 million, an $8.4 million decrease from the first quarter of 2015 also reflecting $5.9 million of development margin in the prior year quarter related to the sale of all 18 residential units at the company's former Macau location.

Europe

First quarter 2016 contract sales were $4.4 million, a decrease of $0.9 million from the first quarter of 2015. Segment financial results were $0.4 million, a $0.4 million increase from the first quarter of 2015 due primarily to higher development margin.

Share Repurchase Program and Dividends

During the first quarter of 2016, the company repurchased over 1.3 million shares of its common stock for a total of $73.2 million under its share repurchase program and paid two quarterly cash dividends totaling $17.6 million.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

On March 25, 2016, cash and cash equivalents totaled $106.6 million. Since the beginning of the year, real estate inventory balances increased $46.0 million to $709.9 million, including $317.8 million of finished goods, $30.0 million of work-in-progress, and $362.1 million of land and infrastructure. The company had $699.3 million in gross debt outstanding at the end of the first quarter, an increase of $11.2 million from year-end 2015, consisting primarily of $688.0 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 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA

$261 million to $276 million


Adjusted fully diluted EPS

$4.31 to $4.66


Adjusted net income

$126 million to $136 million


Adjusted free cash flow

$135 million to $155 million

MARRIOTT VACATIONS WORLDWIDE CORPORATION

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
















In our press release and schedules, and on the related conference call, we report certain financial measures that are not prescribed or authorized by United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").  We discuss 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 25, 2016 and March 27, 2015 because these non-GAAP financial measures allow for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of these items.  These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate our comparison of results from our on-going core operations before these items with results from other vacation ownership companies.
















        Certain items - 12 weeks ended March 25, 2016.  In our Statement of Income for the 12 weeks ended March 25, 2016, we recorded $2.1 million of net pre-tax charges, which included $2.6 million of adjustments for transaction costs associated with acquisitions ($2.3 million in our North America segment, $0.2 million in our Asia Pacific segment and less than $0.1 million in our Corporate and Other segment) recorded under the "Other" caption, partially offset by a $0.3 million reversal of litigation expense in our in our North America segment recorded under the "Reversal of litigation expense" caption because actual costs were lower than expected, $0.2 million of net adjustments to exclude the results of operations from the portion of the Surfers Paradise, Australia property that we intend to sell, comprised of $2.1 million of Rental revenue and $1.7 million of Resort management and other services revenue, with corresponding adjustments of $2.1 million and $1.5 million to the respective expenses (of which $0.3 million was depreciation) in our Asia Pacific segment, as well as less than $0.1 million on the "Gains and other income" caption in our North America segment. 
















        Certain items - 12 weeks ended March 27, 2015In our Statement of Income for the 12 weeks ended March 27, 2015, we recorded $6.9 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, a $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, and a $0.3 million reversal of litigation expense in our North America segment recorded under the "Reversal of litigation expense" caption because actual costs were lower than expected, partially offset by $0.2 million of organizational and separation related costs ($0.1 million in our North America segment and $0.1 million in our Corporate and Other segment) recorded under the "Organizational and separation related" 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.

MARRIOTT VACATIONS WORLDWIDE CORPORATION




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, 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, as itemized in the discussion of Adjusted Net Income on page A-11.  Additionally, beginning with the first quarter of 2016, we exclude non-cash 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. Prior period presentation has been recast for consistency. 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 these items.  Together, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA facilitate our comparison of results from our on-going core operations before the impact of these items 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.
