HILTON GRAND VACATIONS INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: Organization and Basis of Presentation

Our Business

Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (“Hilton Grand Vacations,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “HGV” or the “Company”) is a global timeshare company engaged in developing, marketing, selling and managing timeshare resorts primarily under the Hilton Grand Vacations brand. During 2021, we also acquired Diamond Resorts and are in the process of rebranding Diamond properties and sales centers to brands that meet Hilton standards. Our operations, which primarily consist of selling vacation ownership intervals and vacation ownership interests (collectively, “VOIs”, “VOI”) for us and third parties; financing and servicing loans provided to consumers for their timeshare purchases; operating resorts and multi-resort trusts; and managing our points-based Hilton Grand Vacations Club and Hilton Club exchange program (collectively the “Legacy-HGV Club”) and Diamond points-based clubs (the Legacy-HGV Club and Diamond Clubs are collectively referred to as “Clubs”).

As of March 31, 2022, we had 154 properties located in the United States (“U.S.”), Europe, Mexico, the Caribbean, Canada and Japan. A significant number of our properties and VOIs are concentrated in Florida, Nevada, Hawaii, Europe, California, Virginia and Arizona.

Diamond Acquisition

On August 2, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Dakota Holdings, Inc., the parent of Diamond Resorts International (the “Diamond Acquisition”). We completed the acquisition by exchanging 100 percent of the outstanding equity interests of Diamond for shares of HGV common stock. Pre-existing HGV shareholders owned approximately 72 percent of the combined company immediately after giving effect of the Diamond Acquisition, with certain funds controlled by Apollo Global Management Inc. (the "Apollo Funds" or, "Apollo") and other minority shareholders, who previously owned 100 percent of Diamond, holding the remaining, approximately 28 percent at the time the Diamond Acquisition was completed.

Diamond also operates in the hospitality and VOI industry, with a worldwide resort network of global vacation destinations. Diamond’s portfolio consists of resort properties that we manage, are included in one of Diamond's single- and multi-use trusts (collectively, the "Diamond Collections" or "Collections"), or are Diamond branded resorts in which we own inventory, as well as affiliated resorts and hotels, which we do not manage, and which do not carry the Diamond brand but are a part of Diamond's network and, through THE Club® and other Club offerings (the “Diamond Clubs”), are available for its members to use as vacation destinations.

Diamond’s operations primarily consist of: VOI sales and financing which includes marketing and sales of VOIs and consumer financing for purchasers of the Company's VOIs; operations related to the management of the homeowners associations (the “HOAs”) for resort properties and the Diamond Collections, operating and managing points-based vacation clubs, and operation of certain resort amenities and management services.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this report include Diamond’s results of operations beginning on August 2, 2021. We refer to Diamond's business and operations that we acquired as "Legacy-Diamond", and our business and operations that existed both prior to and following the Diamond Acquisition as "Legacy-HGV." See Note 3: Diamond Acquisition for more information.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include 100 percent of our assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows as well as all entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Although we believe the disclosures made are adequate to prevent information presented from being misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and, accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance.

6


 

The determination of a controlling financial interest is based upon the terms of the governing agreements of the respective entities, including the evaluation of rights held by other interests. If the entity is considered to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”), we determine whether we are the primary beneficiary, and then consolidate those VIEs for which we have determined we are the primary beneficiary. If the entity in which we hold an interest does not meet the definition of a VIE, we evaluate whether we have a controlling financial interest through our voting interests in the entity. We consolidate entities when we own more than 50 percent of the voting shares of a company or otherwise have a controlling financial interest. The consolidated financial statements reflect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation with no effect on previously reported total assets and total liabilities, net income or stockholders’ equity.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance was effective as of March 12, 2020 and will apply through December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, certain debt and non-recourse debt instruments, including swaps, continue to reference LIBOR. We have included transition language within our amended instruments that would allow for the replacement of LIBOR once an appropriate alternative has been determined. To the extent that any reference rate changes from LIBOR, we may choose to utilize the relief set forth within ASU 2020-04. We continue to evaluate the effect of this ASU, but we do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-02 (“ASU 2022-02”), Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. ASU 2022-02 provides, under Issue 2 - Vintage Disclosures, that an entity discloses current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. For financing receivables, the disclosure is to present the amortized cost basis by credit quality indicator and class of financing receivable for the year of origination. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years and is to be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the effects of this ASU to our disclosures.

Note 3: Diamond Acquisition

On August 2, 2021, (the “Acquisition Date”), we completed the Diamond Acquisition by exchanging 100 percent of the outstanding equity interests of Diamond to HGV common shares. Following the closing of the Diamond Acquisition, pre-existing HGV shareholders owned approximately 72 percent of the combined company after giving effect to the Diamond Acquisition, with Apollo Funds and other minority shareholders holding the remaining approximately 28 percent at the time the Diamond Acquisition was completed. Diamond is a leader in the vacation ownership industry focused on the infusion of hospitality and experiences through the full life cycle of an owner or members' life cycle relationship with Diamond. This strategic combination creates a more expansive industry offering, leveraging HGV's strong brand and net owner growth along with Diamond's diverse network of locations and strength in experiential offerings. The acquisition also diversifies our product offerings and allows us to expand our customer demographic.

On the Acquisition Date, shareholders of Diamond received 0.32 shares of our common stock for each share of Diamond common stock, totaling approximately 28 percent of our total common shares outstanding. Additionally, in connection with the Diamond Acquisition, HGV repaid certain existing indebtedness of Diamond.

Preliminary Fair Values of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

We accounted for the Diamond Acquisition as a business combination, which requires us to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the Acquisition Date. The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which are presented in the table below, and the related preliminary acquisition accounting are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as information compiled by management, including the books and records of Diamond. Our estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the Acquisition Date. The magnitude of the Diamond Acquisition could necessitate the need to use the full one-year measurement period to adequately analyze and assess a number of the factors used in establishing the asset and liability fair values as of the Acquisition Date. The final values may also result in changes to amortization expense related to intangible assets and depreciation expense related to property and equipment, among other changes. Any potential adjustments made could be material in relation to the values presented in the table below.

As of March 31, 2022, the primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized include the following: (1) finalizing the review and valuation of acquired intangible assets and assigning the useful lives to such assets; (2) finalizing the review and valuation of acquired undeveloped land, property and equipment (including key assumptions, inputs and estimates) and assigning the remaining useful lives to the depreciable assets; (3) finalizing the review of accounts receivable, including the evaluation of which receivables are purchased credit deteriorated; (4) finalizing the valuation of certain in-place contracts or contractual relationships (including but not limited to leases), including determining the appropriate amortization period; (5) finalizing the review and valuation of other acquired assets and assumed liabilities; and (6) finalizing our estimate of the impact of purchase accounting on deferred income tax liabilities.

(1) Goodwill is calculated as total consideration transferred less net assets acquired and it primarily represents the value that we expect to obtain from synergies and growth opportunities from our combined Company post-acquisition. The majority of goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The measurement period adjustments recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 resulted from changes to our estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on a revision to our valuation of insurance receivables given the ultimate determination of proceeds related to pre-acquisition business interruption insurance claims. The measurement period adjustments recognized include an adjustment to increase accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, for pre-acquisition contingencies, and the related tax impacts increasing deferred income tax liabilities. These resulted in a net adjustment to goodwill for the period of $26 million. The net income effect associated with the measurement period adjustments during the year ended March 31, 2022 were immaterial.

Timeshare Financing Receivables

We acquired timeshare financing receivables which consist of loans to customers who purchased vacation ownership products and chose to finance their purchases. These timeshare financing receivables are collateralized by the underlying VOIs and generally have 10-year amortizing repayment terms. We estimated the fair value of the timeshare financing receivables using a discounted cash flow model, which calculated a present value of expected future risk-adjusted cash flows over the remaining term of the respective timeshare financing receivables. We are continuing to evaluate the significant assumptions underlying the discounted cash flow model including default and prepayment assumptions, which could result in changes to our preliminary estimate. We do not expect any material changes to the provisional estimates.

For purposes of our initial allocation, we have considered all acquired receivables to be purchase credit deteriorated. See Note 7: Timeshare Financing Receivables for additional information.

Inventory

We acquired inventory which primarily consists of completed unsold VOIs and undeveloped land. We preliminarily estimated the value of acquired inventory using a discounted cash flows method, which included an estimate of cash flows expected to be generated from the sale of VOIs. Significant estimates and assumptions impacting the fair value of the acquired inventory that are subjective and/or require complex judgments include our estimates of operating costs and margins, and the discount rate. Certain other estimates and assumptions impacting the fair value of the acquired inventory involving less subjective and/or less complex judgments include: short-term and long-term revenue growth rates, capital expenditures, tax rates and other factors impacting the discounted cash flows. We are continuing to assess the market assumptions and property conditions, which could result in changes to these preliminary values. We do not expect any material changes to the provisional estimates for completed and unsold VOIs.

Property and Equipment

We acquired property and equipment, which includes land, building and leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures and construction in progress. We preliminarily estimated the value of the majority of property and equipment using a mix of cost, market and discounted cash flow approaches, which included estimates of future income growth, capitalization rates, discount rates, and capital expenditure needs of the resorts. Certain property and equipment assets were preliminarily valued at carrying value, which is our best estimate of fair value at this time given the information available to us. We are continuing to assess the market assumptions and property conditions, which could result in changes to these preliminary values.

Goodwill

We recognized goodwill of approximately $1.4 billion in connection with the Diamond Acquisition. We have allocated the acquired goodwill to our segments, Real Estate Sales and Financing and Resort Operations and Club Management, as indicated in the table below. Our allocations may change throughout the measurement period as we continue to finalize the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Diamond Acquisition.

We estimated the fair value of Diamond’s trade name using the relief-from-royalty method, which applies an estimated royalty rate to forecasted future cash flows, discounted to present value. We estimated the value of management contracts and member relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a variation of the income approach. This method estimates an intangible asset’s value based on the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the intangible asset. Significant estimates and assumptions impacting the fair value of the acquired management contracts intangible that are subjective and/or require complex judgments include our estimates of operating costs and margins, and

10


 

the discount rate. Certain other estimates and assumptions impacting the fair value of the acquired management contracts intangible involving less subjective and/or less complex judgments include: short-term and long-term revenue growth rates, attrition rates, capital expenditures, tax rates and other factors impacting the discounted cash flows. We continue to review Diamond’s contracts and historical performance in addition to evaluating the assumptions impacting the estimated values of such intangible assets and their respective useful lives, including the discount rate applied to the estimated cash flows and renewal and growth estimates and expected margins, which could result in changes to these preliminary values. We do not expect any material changes to the provisional estimates for trade names, management contracts, and club member relationships, other than as a result of working capital adjustments.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily relates to deferred sales incentives revenues, primarily related to Bonus Points, which are deferred and recognized upon redemption; and Club membership fees, which are deferred and recognized over the terms of the applicable contract term or membership on a straight-line basis. Additionally, deferred revenue includes maintenance fees collected from owners, in certain cases, which are earned by the relevant property owners' association over the applicable period. We preliminarily estimated the fair value of the deferred revenue at the carrying value of such liabilities as of the Acquisition Date. We continue to review Diamond’s contracts, which could result in changes to the preliminary estimate. We do not expect any material changes to the provisional estimates.

Deferred Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes primarily relate to the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired from Diamond, including timeshare financing receivables, inventory, property and equipment, intangible assets, and debt. We preliminarily estimated deferred income taxes based on statutory rates in the jurisdictions of the legal entities where the acquired assets and liabilities are recorded. We are continuing to assess the tax rates used, and we will update our estimate of deferred income taxes based on changes to our preliminary valuations of the related assets and liabilities and refinement of the effective tax rates, which could result in changes to these preliminary values.

Debt

As part of the acquisition and consideration transferred, we paid off $2,029 million of Diamond’s existing corporate debt, accrued interest and early termination penalties.

Non-Recourse Debt

We estimated the fair value of the securitized debt from VIEs and warehouse loan facilities, using a discounted cash flow model under the income approach. The significant assumptions in our analysis include default rates, prepayment rates, bond interest rates and other structural factors. We are continuing to evaluate the significant assumptions underlying the discounted cash flow model including default and prepayment assumptions, which could result in changes to our preliminary estimate. We do not expect any material changes to the provisional estimates.

Lease Obligations

We have recorded a preliminary estimate of the liability for those operating leases assumed in connection with the Diamond Acquisition with a remaining term in excess of a year. We measured the lease liabilities assumed at the present value of the remaining contractual lease payments based on the guidance in ASC 842 and using a discount rate determined as of the Acquisition Date. The right-of-use assets for such leases were initially measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted for favorable or unfavorable terms of the lease when compared with market terms. A small number of operating lease right of use assets and lease liabilities were preliminarily estimated at carrying value. We continue to assess the market assumptions, which could result in changes to our preliminary estimate.

12


 

Revenue earned for three months ended March 31, 2022 that was included in the contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2021 was approximately $44 million.

Our accounts receivables that relate to our contracts with customers includes amounts associated with our contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations related primarily to our fee-for-service arrangements and homeowners’ associations management agreements and are settled when the related cash is received. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional and is only contingent on the passage of time. Refer to Note 7: Timeshare Financing Receivables for information on balances and changes in balances during the period related to our timeshare financing receivables.

Contract assets relate to incentive fees that can be earned for meeting certain targets on sales of VOIs at properties under our fee-for-service arrangements; however, our right to consideration is conditional upon completing the requirements of the annual incentive fee period. There were no contract assets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Contract liabilities include payments received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations. Such contract liabilities include advance deposits received on prepaid vacation packages for future stays at our resorts, deferred revenues related to sales of VOIs of projects under construction, Club activation fees and annual dues and the liability for Bonus Points awarded to our customers for purchase of VOIs at our properties or properties under our fee-for-service arrangements that may be redeemed in the future.

In addition to the contract liabilities included herein, we also have deferred revenue of $159 million and $112 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. This additional deferred revenue balance includes $50 million and $51 million for bonus points and marketing package deferred revenue, $30 million and $10 million in deferred property insurance, $38 million and $14 million in deferred maintenance fees and $41 million and $37 million in other deferred revenue as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contract revenue that has not yet been recognized. Our contracts with remaining performance obligations primarily include (i) sales of VOIs under construction, (ii) Legacy-HGV Club activation fees paid at closing of a VOI purchase, (iii) customers’ advanced deposits on prepaid vacation packages and (iv) Bonus Points that may be redeemed in the future.

Our accounts receivable are all due within one year of origination. We use delinquency status and economic factors such as credit quality indicators to monitor our receivables within the scope of ASC 326 and use these as a basis for how we develop our expected loss estimates.

We sell VOIs on behalf of third-party developers using the Hilton Grand Vacations brand in exchange for sales, marketing and brand fees. We use historical losses and economic factors as a basis to develop our allowance for credit losses. Under these fee-for-service arrangements, we earn commission fees based on a percentage of total interval sales. Additionally, the terms of these arrangements include provisions requiring the reduction of fees earned for defaults and cancellations.

The changes in our allowance for fee-for-service commissions were as follows during the period from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022:

Originated timeshare financing receivables include all Legacy-HGV timeshare financing receivables and Legacy-Diamond timeshare financing receivables originated after the Acquisition Date.

(3)Non-credit premium of $97 million was recognized at the Acquisition Date, of which $65 million remains unamortized as of March 31, 2022.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had timeshare financing receivables with a carrying value of $159 million and $131 million, respectively, securing the Timeshare Facility and two additional conduit facilities in anticipation of future financing activities. We record an estimate of variable consideration for estimated defaults as a reduction of revenue from VOI sales at the time revenue is recognized on a VOI sale. We record the difference between the timeshare financing receivable and the variable consideration included in the transaction price for the sale of the related VOI as an allowance for financing receivables and record the receivable net of the allowance. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded an adjustment to our estimate of variable consideration of $31 million.

We recognize interest income on our timeshare financing receivables as earned. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had interest receivable outstanding of $10 million and $9 million, respectively, on our originated timeshare financing receivables, which represent all Legacy-HGV timeshare financing receivables and timeshare financing receivables originated by Legacy-Diamond subsequent to the Acquisition Date. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had interest receivable outstanding of $6 million and $7 million on our acquired timeshare financing receivables, which represents all timeshare financing receivables of Legacy-Diamond as of the Acquisition Date. Interest receivable is included in Other Assets within our balance sheets. The interest rate charged on the notes correlates to the risk profile of the customer at the time of purchase and the percentage of the purchase that is financed, among other factors. As of March 31, 2022, our originated timeshare financing receivables had interest rates ranging from 1.5 percent to 25.8 percent, a weighted-average interest rate of 13.6 percent, a weighted-average remaining term of 8 years and maturities through 2037. Our acquired timeshare financing receivables had interest rates ranging from 2 percent to 25 percent, a weighted-average interest rate of 15.7 percent, a weighted-average remaining term of 7.8 years and maturities through 2032.

 

Acquired Timeshare Financing Receivables with Credit Deterioration

As part of the Diamond Acquisition, we acquired existing portfolios of timeshare financing receivables. Acquired timeshare financing receivables include all timeshare financing receivables of Legacy-Diamond as of the Acquisition Date and were deemed to be purchase credit deteriorated financial assets. These notes receivable were initially recognized at their purchase price, represented by the acquisition date fair value, and subsequently “grossed- up” by our acquisition date assessment of the allowance for credit losses. The difference over which par value of the acquired purchased credit deteriorated assets exceeds the purchase price plus the initial allowance for credit losses is reflected as a non-credit premium and is amortized as a reduction to interest income under the effective interest method.

The fair value of our acquired timeshare financing receivables as of the Acquisition Date was determined using a discounted cash flow method, which calculated a present value of expected future cash flows based on scheduled principal and interest payments over the term of the respective timeshare financing receivables, while considering anticipated defaults and early repayments based on historical experience. Consequently, the fair value of the acquired timeshare financing

15


 

receivables recorded on our balance sheet as of the Acquisition Date included an estimate of expected credit losses which became the historical cost basis for that portfolio going forward.‌

The allowance for credit losses for our acquired timeshare financing receivables is remeasured at each period end and takes into consideration an estimated measure of anticipated defaults and early repayments. We consider historical Legacy-Diamond timeshare financing receivables performance and the current economic environment in the re-measurement of the allowance for credit losses for our acquired timeshare financing receivables. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded as additions to or reversals of credit losses in our consolidated statements of operations through provision for credit losses.

Credit Quality of Timeshare Financing Receivables

Legacy-HGV Timeshare Financing Receivables

We evaluate this portfolio collectively for purposes of estimating variable consideration, since we hold a large group of homogeneous timeshare financing receivables which are individually immaterial. We monitor the collectability of our receivables on an ongoing basis. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty or groups of counterparties. We use a technique referred to as static pool analysis as the basis for estimating expected defaults and determining our allowance for financing receivables losses on our timeshare financing receivables. For static pool analysis, we use certain key dimensions to stratify our portfolio, including FICO scores, equity percentage at the time of sale and certain other factors. The adequacy of the related allowance is determined by management through analysis of several factors, such as current economic conditions and industry trends, as well as the specific risk characteristics of the portfolio including assumed default rates, aging and historical write-offs of these receivables. The allowance is maintained at a level deemed adequate by management based on a periodic analysis of the mortgage portfolio.

(1) Timeshare financing receivables without a FICO score are primarily related to foreign borrowers.

 

We apply payments we receive for loans, including those in non-accrual status, to amounts due in the following order: servicing fees; interest; principal; and late charges. Once a loan is 91 days past due, we cease accruing interest and reverse the accrued interest recognized up to that point. We resume interest accrual for loans for which we had previously ceased accruing interest once the loan is less than 91 days past due. We fully reserve for a timeshare financing receivable in the month following the date that the loan is 121 days past due and, subsequently, we write off the uncollectible note against the reserve once the foreclosure process is complete and we receive the deed for the foreclosed unit.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had ceased accruing interest on timeshare financing receivables with an aggregate principal balance of $70 million and $83 million, respectively. The following tables detail an aged analysis of our gross timeshare receivables balance:

(1) Timeshare financing receivables without a FICO score are primarily related to foreign borrowers.

The accrued interest on our Legacy-Diamond timeshare financing receivables is accrued based on the contractual provisions of the loan documents, which is suspended at the earlier of (i) the customer’s account becoming over 90 days delinquent, or (ii) the completion of cancellation or foreclosure proceedings. Once suspended, we reverse all prior recognized interest income as well. We resume interest accrual for receivables for which we had previously ceased accruing interest once the receivable is less than 91 days past due. We fully reserve for a timeshare financing receivable in the month following the date that the receivable is 121 days past due and, subsequently, we write off the uncollectible balance against the reserve once the foreclosure process is complete and we become owner of the deed for the foreclosed unit.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had ceased accruing interest on Legacy-Diamond timeshare financing receivables with an aggregate principal balance of $396 million and $369 million, respectively.

Note 10: Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we consolidated 11 variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The activities of these entities are limited primarily to purchasing qualifying non-recourse timeshare financing receivables from us and issuing debt securities and/or borrowing under a debt facility to facilitate such purchases. The timeshare financing receivables held by these entities are not available to our creditors and are not our legal assets, nor is the debt that is securitized through these entities a legal liability to us.

We have determined that we are the primary beneficiaries of all VIEs as we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect their economic performance. We are also the servicer of these timeshare financing receivables and we often replace or repurchase timeshare financing receivables that are in default at their outstanding principal amounts. Additionally, we have the obligation to absorb their losses and the right to receive benefits that could be significant to them. Only the assets of our VIEs are available to settle the obligations of the respective entities.

As part of the Diamond Acquisition, we acquired the variable interests in the entities associated with Diamond’s outstanding timeshare financing receivables securitization transactions and two conduit facilities. They have been aggregated for disclosure purposes as they are similar in nature to our previously established VIEs. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the conduit facilities had an outstanding balance of $125 million and $133 million, respectively.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets included the assets and liabilities of these entities, which primarily consisted of the following:

Note 11: Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

As of March 31, 2022, we have 25 percent and 50 percent ownership interests in BRE Ace LLC and 1776 Holding LLC, respectively, which are VIEs. We do not consolidate BRE Ace LLC and 1776 Holding LLC because we are not the primary beneficiary. Our investment interests in and equity earned from both VIEs are included in the consolidated balance

sheets as Investments in unconsolidated affiliates and in the consolidated statements of operations as Equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates, respectively.

Our two unconsolidated affiliates have aggregated debt balances of $433 million and $463 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The debt is secured by their assets and is without recourse to us. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our investment interests in the two unconsolidated affiliates is primarily limited to (i) the carrying amount of the investments, which totals $62 million and $59 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and (ii) receivables for commission and other fees earned under fee-for-service arrangements.

Senior secured credit facilities

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we repaid $3 million under the senior secured credit facilities. As of March 31, 2022, we had $1 million of letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $2 million outstanding backed by cash collateral. We were in compliance with all applicable maintenance and financial covenants and ratios as of March 31, 2022.

We primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy for our variable-rate debt. Such interest rate swaps converted the LIBOR based variable rates on our Revolver and Term Loan to average fixed rates of 0.53 percent per annum with maturities in 2023 and 1.58 percent with maturities between 2023 and 2028, respectively, for the balance on these borrowings up to the notional values of our interest rate swaps. As of March 31, 2022, the notional values of the interest rate swaps under our Revolver and Term Loan were $165 million and $550 million, respectively. Our interest rate swaps have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk and recorded at their estimated fair value as an asset in Other assets in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of our cash flow hedges are $32 million and $2 million, respectively. We characterize payments we make in connection with these derivative instruments as interest expense and a reclassification of accumulated other comprehensive income for presentation purposes. The following table reflects the activity in accumulated other comprehensive income related to our derivative instruments during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

(3) In connection with the amendment to the Timeshare Facility executed in August 2020, the revolving commitment period of the Timeshare Facility

terminates in August 2022, however the repayment maturity date extends 12 months beyond the commitment termination date to August 2023.

The Timeshare Facility and Premium Yield Facility are non-recourse obligations payable solely from the pool of timeshare financing receivables pledged as collateral and related assets. The Timeshare Facility has a borrowing capacity of $450 million. Furthermore, we have access to two additional conduit facilities which are non-recourse obligations with customary provisions similar to the Timeshare Facility, each of which bear a variable interest rate plus a margin and are subject to non-use fees. The conduit facilities are due in 2023 and 2024 and have a borrowing capacity of $125 million and $150 million, respectively. These conduit facilities were issued through variable interest entities. See Note 10: Consolidated Variable Interest Entities for more information.

We are required to deposit payments received from customers on the timeshare financing receivables securing the Timeshare Facility, Premium Yield Facility and Securitized Debt into depository accounts maintained by third parties. On a

22


 

monthly basis, the depository accounts are utilized to make required principal, interest and other payments due under the respective loan agreements. The balances in the depository accounts were $66 million and $67 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and were included in Restricted cash in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Our estimates of the fair values were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop the estimated fair values. The table above excludes cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, 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. Our estimated fair value of derivative financial instruments is considered a level 2 measurement and is included in Note 13: Debt and non-recourse debt above. Our valuation methodology is categorized based on each asset or liability's respective measurement inputs and their correlation to information available in active markets as follows:

23


 

Level 1 - Measurements based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.
Level 2 - Measurements based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or market data other than quoted prices that are observable.
Level 3 - Measurements based on unobservable data that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the valuation methodology.

The estimated fair value of our level 2 derivative financial instruments was determined utilizing projected future cash flows discounted based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities.

The estimated fair value of our level 3 debt was determined utilizing indicative quotes obtained for similar issuances and projected future cash flows discounted at risk-adjusted rates.

The estimated fair value of our level 3 non-recourse debt was determined utilizing projected future cash flows discounted at risk-adjusted rates.

Non-recurring fair value measurements

Our assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, include land and infrastructure held for sale. These assets were measured to their estimated fair value as of December 31, 2021. We utilized the market approach for the land and cost approach for infrastructure to determine their respective fair values. The fair value calculations involve judgement and are sensitive to key assumptions utilized, including comparative sales for land (level 2) and replacement costs for infrastructure (level 3). There has been no change to the estimated fair value of these assets for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Note 15: Leases

We lease sales centers, office space and equipment under operating leases, some of which we acquired as part of the Diamond Acquisition. Our leases expire at various dates from 2022 through 2030, with varying renewal and termination options. Our lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

As part of our integration of business operations from the Diamond Acquisition, we ceased utilizing one leased office space in the three months ended March 31, 2022, which the Company considered a triggering event for impairment analysis. We recognized impairment on the related right-of-use asset of $3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022.

We recognize rent expense on leases with both contingent and non-contingent lease payment terms. Rent associated with non-contingent lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Rent expense for all operating leases for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $7 million and $4 million, respectively. These amounts include $1 million of short-term and variable lease costs for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Note 16: Income Taxes

At the end of each quarter, we estimate the effective tax rate expected to be applied for the full year. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately 28 percent and 46 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate is lower primarily due to the impact of non-recurring discrete items and share-based compensation awards relative to pre-tax income (loss) through the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the first quarter of 2021.

Note 17: Share-Based Compensation

Stock Plan

We issue service-based restricted stock units (“Service RSUs”), service and performance-based restricted stock units (“Performance RSUs”) and nonqualified stock options (“Options”) to certain employees and directors. We recognized share-based compensation expense of $11 million and $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

As of March 31, 2022, unrecognized compensation costs for unvested awards was approximately $72 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years. As of March 31, 2022, there were 2,679,077 shares of common stock available for future issuance under this plan.

Service RSUs

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we issued 750,653 Service RSUs with a grant date fair value of $44.09, which generally vest in equal annual installments over three years from the date of grant.

Options

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we issued 389,536 Options with an exercise price of $44.09, which generally vest over three years from the date of the grant.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of these options was $20.08, which was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the assumptions included in the table below. Expected volatility is calculated using our historical and implied volatility of our share price. Dividend yield is calculated based on our expected future payout at the time of issuance. Risk-free rate is based on the yields of U.S. Department of Treasury instruments with similar maturities. Expected term is estimated using the vesting period and contractual term of the Options.

As of March 31, 2022, we had 1,547,979 Options outstanding that were exercisable.

Performance RSUs

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we issued 93,064 Performance RSUs with a grant date fair value of $44.09. The Performance RSUs are settled at the end of a two-year performance period, with 50 percent of the Performance RSUs subject to achievement based on the Company’s adjusted earnings before interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization further adjusted for net deferral and recognition of revenues and related direct expenses related to sales of VOIs of projects under construction. The remaining 50 percent of the Performance RSUs are subject to the achievement of certain contract sales targets.

We determined that the performance conditions for our Performance RSUs are probable of achievement and, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized compensation expense based on the number of Performance RSUs we expect to vest.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In March 2017, the Board of Directors adopted the Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which became effective during 2017. In connection with the Plan, we issued 2.5 million shares of common stock which may be purchased under the ESPP. The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock at a price per share not less than 95 percent of the fair market value per share of common stock on the purchase date, up to a maximum threshold established by the plan administrator for the offering period. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized less than $1 million of compensation expense related to this plan.

Note 18: Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The following tables below present the calculation of our basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) and the corresponding weighted average shares outstanding referenced in these calculations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

The dilutive effect of outstanding share-based compensation awards is reflected in diluted earnings (loss) per common share by application of the treasury stock method using average market prices during the period. Potentially dilutive shares of 943,373 were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding and diluted earnings per share three months ended March 31, 2021 because their effect would have been anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

Note 20: Business Segments

We operate our business through the following two segments:

Real estate sales and financing – We market and sell VOIs that we own. We also source VOIs through fee-for-service agreements with third-party developers. Related to the sales of the VOIs that we own, we provide consumer financing, which includes interest income generated from the origination of consumer loans to customers to finance their purchase of VOIs and revenue from servicing the loans. We also generate fee revenue from servicing the loans provided by third-party developers to purchasers of their VOIs.
Resort operations and club management – We manage the Club and Diamond Clubs and earn activation fees, annual dues and transaction fees from member exchanges for other vacation products. We also earn fees for managing the timeshare properties. We generate rental revenue from unit rentals of unsold inventory and inventory made available due to ownership exchanges under our Club and Diamond Clubs programs. We also earn revenue from food and beverage, retail and spa outlets at our timeshare properties.

The performance of our operating segments is evaluated primarily based on adjusted earnings before interest expense (excluding non-recourse debt), taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, further adjusted to exclude certain items, including, but not limited to, gains, losses and expenses in connection with: (i) other gains, including asset dispositions and foreign currency translations; (ii) debt restructurings/retirements; (iii) non-cash impairment losses; (iv) share-based and other compensation expenses; and (v) other items, including but not limited to costs associated with acquisitions, restructuring, amortization of premiums resulting from purchase accounting, and other non-cash and one-time charges.

We do not include equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates in our measures of segment operating performance.

Below is the presentation of our reportable segment results which include the acquired Diamond operations within both segments since the Acquisition Date. The following table presents revenues for our reportable segments reconciled to consolidated amounts:

Note 21: Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

We have entered into certain arrangements with developers whereby we have committed to purchase vacation ownership units or other real estate at a future date to be marketed and sold under our Hilton Grand Vacations brand. As of March 31, 2022, we were committed to purchase approximately $329 million of inventory and land over a period of 9 years and $15 million of other commitments in the normal course of business. Additionally, we have committed to develop additional vacation ownership units at an existing resort in Japan. We are also committed to an agreement to exchange parcels of land in Hawaii, subject to the successful completion of zoning, land use requirements and other applicable regulatory requirements. The actual amount and timing of the acquisitions are subject to change pursuant to the terms of the respective arrangements, which could also allow for cancellation in certain circumstances. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we did not make any purchases related to our inventory commitments. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we completed $1 million of purchases required under our inventory-related purchase commitments. As of March 31, 2022, our remaining obligations pursuant to these arrangements were expected to be incurred as follows:

Rebranding Costs

As part of the Diamond Acquisition and per our licensing agreement with Hilton, we are committed to rebranding Diamond properties to brands that meet Hilton standards. As of March 31, 2022, we have incurred rebranding costs in respect to information technology and sales centers, and expect rebranding to occur over a period of several years.

 

Litigation Contingencies

We are involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business, some of which includes claims for substantial sums. We evaluate these legal proceedings and claims at each balance sheet date to determine the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss. We record a contingent litigation liability when it is determined that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

As of March 31, 2022, we accrued liabilities of approximately $117 million for all legal matters that were contingencies. Substantially all of these accrued liabilities are related to matters that existed as of the Acquisition Date, of which approximately $24 million are subject to change during the measurement period of the Diamond Acquisition. See Note 3: Diamond Acquisition. Approximately $92 million of these accrued liabilities relate to a judgment entered against Diamond in March 2022 in connection with a case filed in 2015 that was not deemed probable and estimable as of the Acquisition Date. This matter is subject to insurance coverage and as a result as of March 31, 2022, we recorded an insurance claim receivable of $92 million within Accounts receivable, net in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

While we currently believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows, or materially adversely affect overall trends in our results of operations, legal proceedings are inherently uncertain and unfavorable rulings could, individually or in aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Note 22: Subsequent Events

On April 21, 2022, we completed a $246 million securitization of our gross timeshare financing receivables with an overall weighted average interest rate of 4.30 percent and an overall advance rate of 95 percent. The proceeds were primarily used to pay down one of our conduit facilities in full, which was a total of $115 million, and for general corporate purposes.

On May 3, 2022, we amended the terms of the Timeshare Facility to increase the borrowing capacity from $450 million to $750 million, allowing us to borrow up to the maximum amount until May 2024 and requiring all amounts borrowed to be repaid in 2025. The Timeshare Facility is secured by certain timeshare financing receivables in our loan portfolio.

On May 4, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to an aggregate of $500 million of its outstanding shares of common stock.

Overview

Our Business

We are a global timeshare company engaged in developing, marketing, selling and managing timeshare resorts primarily under the Hilton Grand Vacations brand. Our Company also owns and operates Diamond Resorts International ("Diamond") and are in the process of rebranding Diamond properties and sales centers to brands that meet Hilton standards. Our operations primarily consist of: selling vacation ownership intervals and vacation ownership interests (collectively, “VOIs”, "VOI") for us and third parties; financing and servicing loans provided to consumers for their timeshare purchases; operating resorts and multi-resort trusts; and managing our points-based Hilton Grand Vacations Club and Hilton Club exchange program (collectively the “Legacy-HGV Club”) and Diamond points-based clubs.

As of March 31, 2022, we have 154 properties located in the United States (“U.S.”), Europe, Mexico, the Caribbean, Canada, and Japan. A significant number of our properties and VOIs are concentrated in Florida, Nevada, Hawaii, Europe, California, Virginia and Arizona. and feature spacious, condominium-style accommodations with superior amenities and quality service. As of March 31, 2022, we have approximately 335,000 Hilton Grand Vacations Club and Hilton Club members. Legacy-HGV Club members have the flexibility to exchange their VOIs for stays at any Hilton Grand Vacations resort or any property in the Hilton system of 18 industry-leading brands across approximately 6,800 properties, as well as numerous experiential vacation options, such as cruises and guided tours. We also have 168,000 Diamond Club members who are able to utilize their points across the Diamond resorts, affiliated properties and alternative experiential options.

Diamond Acquisition

On August 2, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Dakota Holdings, Inc., the parent of Diamond (the “Diamond Acquisition”). We completed the acquisition by exchanging 100 percent of the outstanding equity interests of Diamond into shares of HGV common stock. Pre-existing HGV shareholders own approximately 72 percent of the combined company after giving effect of the Diamond Acquisition, with certain funds controlled by Apollo Global Management Inc. (the "Apollo

31


 

Funds" or, "Apollo") and other minority shareholders, who previously owned 100 percent of Diamond, holding the remaining approximately 28 percent at the time the Diamond Acquisition was completed.

Diamond also operates in the hospitality and VOI industry, with a worldwide resort network of global vacation destinations. Diamond’s portfolio consists of resort properties that we manage, are included in one of Diamond's single- and multi-use trusts (collectively, the "Diamond Collections" or "Collections"), or are Diamond branded resorts in which we own inventory. In addition there are affiliated resorts and hotels, which we do not manage, and which do not carry the Diamond brand but are a part of Diamond's network and, through THE Club® and other Club offerings (the “Diamond Clubs”), are available for its members to use as vacation destinations.

Diamond’s operations primarily consist of: VOI sales and financing which includes marketing and sales of VOIs and consumer financing for purchasers of the Company's VOIs; operations related to the management of the homeowners associations (the “HOAs”) for resort properties and the Diamond Collections, operating and managing points-based vacation clubs, and operation of certain resort amenities and management services.

The financial results within this report include Diamond’s results of operations beginning on August 2, 2021. We refer to Diamond's business and operations that we acquired as "Legacy-Diamond", and our business and operations that existed both prior to and following the Diamond Acquisition as "Legacy-HGV." See Note 3: Diamond Acquisition for more information. Acquisition and integration-related expenses represent direct costs associated with the Diamond Acquisition including integration costs, legal fees, financial and other professional services. These expenses also include severance, retention and other employee-related benefits.

Our Segments

We operate our business across two segments: (1) real estate sales and financing; and (2) resort operations and club management.

 

Real Estate Sales and Financing

Our primary Legacy-HGV product is the marketing and selling of fee-simple VOIs deeded in perpetuity and right to use real estate interests, developed either by us or by third parties. This ownership interest is an interest in real estate generally equivalent to one week on an annual basis, at the timeshare resort where the VOI was purchased. Traditionally, timeshare operators have funded 100 percent of the investment necessary to acquire land and construct timeshare properties. In addition to developing our own properties, we source VOIs through fee-for-service and just-in-time agreements with third-party developers and have focused our inventory strategy on developing an optimal inventory mix focused on developed properties as well as fee-for-service and just-in-time agreements. The fee-for-service agreements enable us to generate fees from the sales and marketing of the VOIs and Legacy-HGV Club memberships and from the management of the timeshare properties without requiring us to fund acquisition and construction costs. The just-in-time agreements enable us to source VOI inventory in a manner that allows us to correlate the timing of acquisition of the inventory with the sale to purchasers. Sales of owned, including just-in-time inventory, generally result in greater Adjusted EBITDA contributions, while fee-for-service sales require less initial investment and allow us to accelerate our sales growth. Both sales of owned inventory and fee-for-service sales generate long-term, predictable fee streams, by adding to the Club membership base and properties under management, that generate strong returns on invested capital.

We also source VOIs through our Collections product which are represented by an annual or biennial allotment of points that can be utilized for vacations at any of the resorts in our network for varying lengths of stay. Purchasers of points generally do not acquire a direct ownership interest in the resort properties in our network. For each Collection, one or more trustees hold legal title to the deeded fee simple real estate interests or the functional equivalent, or, in some cases, leasehold real estate interests for the benefit of the respective Collection’s association members in accordance with the applicable agreements.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, sales from fee-for-service, just-in-time, developed inventory and points-based sources were 25 percent, 14 percent, 19 percent and 42 percent, respectively, of contract sales. See “Key Business and Financial Metrics and Terms Used by Management — Real Estate Sales Operating Metrics” for additional discussion of contract sales. The estimated contract sales value related to our inventory that is currently available for sale at open or soon-to-be open projects and inventory at new or existing projects that will become available for sale in the future upon registration, delivery or construction is approximately $13 billion at current pricing.

Capital efficient arrangements, comprised of our fee-for-service and just-in-time inventory, represented approximately 40 percent of that supply. We believe that the visibility into our long-term supply allows us to efficiently manage inventory to meet predicted sales, reduce capital investments, minimize our exposure to the cyclicality of the real estate market and mitigate the risks of entering into new markets.

We sell our vacation ownership products primarily through our distribution network of both-in-market and off-site sales centers. Our products are currently marketed for sale throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, Europe, and Japan. We operate sales distribution centers in major markets and popular leisure destinations with year-round demand and a history of being a friendly environment for vacation ownership. We have approximately 60 sales distribution centers in various domestic and international locations. A phased rebranding of sales centers that were acquired as part of the Diamond Acquisition began in late 2021. Our marketing and sales activities are based on targeted direct marketing and a highly personalized sales approach. We use targeted direct marketing to reach potential members who are identified as having the financial ability to pay for our products and have an affinity with Hilton (Legacy-HGV only) and are frequent leisure travelers. Tour flow quality impacts key metrics such as close rate and VPG, defined in “Key Business and Financial Metrics and Terms Used by Management—Real Estate Sales Metrics.” Additionally, the quality of tour flow impacts sales revenue and the collectability of our timeshare financing receivables. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, 73 percent of our contract sales were to our existing owners.

We provide financing for members purchasing our developed and acquired inventory and generate interest income. Our timeshare financing receivables are collateralized by the underlying VOIs and are generally structured as 10-year, fully-amortizing loans that bear a fixed interest rate typically ranging from 2.5 percent to 25 percent per annum. Financing propensity was 65 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. We calculate financing propensity as contract sales volume of financed contracts originated in the period divided by contract sales volume of all contracts originated in the period.

The interest rate on our loans is determined by, among other factors, the amount of the down payment, the borrower’s credit profile and the loan term. The weighted-average FICO score for loans to U.S. and Canadian borrowers at the time of origination were as follows:

735

 

 

 

Prepayment is permitted without penalty. When a member defaults, we ultimately return their VOI to inventory for resale and that member no longer participates in our Clubs.

Some of our timeshare financing receivables have been pledged as collateral in our securitization transactions, which have in the past and may in the future provide funding for our business activities. In these securitization transactions, special purpose entities are established to issue various classes of debt securities which are generally collateralized by a single pool of assets, consisting of timeshare financing receivables that we service and related cash deposits. For additional information see Note 7: Timeshare Financing Receivables in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In addition, we earn fees from servicing the loans provided by third-party developers of our fee-for-service projects to purchasers of their VOIs and from our securitized timeshare financing receivables.

Resort Operations and Club Management

We enter into management agreements with the HOAs of the timeshare resorts developed by us or a third party. Each of the HOAs is governed by a board of directors comprised of owner and developer representatives that are charged with ensuring the resorts are well-maintained and financially stable. Our management services include day-to-day operations of the resorts, maintenance of the resorts, preparation of reports, budgets and projections and employee training and oversight. Our HOA management agreements provide for a cost-plus management fee, which means we generally earn a fee equal to 10 percent to 15 percent of the costs to operate the applicable resort. The fees we earn are highly predictable due to the relatively fixed nature of resort operating expenses and our management fees are unaffected by changes in rental rate or occupancy. We are reimbursed for the costs incurred to perform our services, principally related to personnel providing on-site services. The initial term of our management agreements typically ranges from three to five years and the agreements are subject to periodic renewal for one to three-year periods. Many of these agreements renew automatically unless either party provides advance notice of termination before the expiration of the term.

We also manage and operate the Clubs, including the points-based Hilton Grand Vacations Club and Hilton Club exchange programs, which provide exclusive exchange, leisure travel and reservation services to our Legacy-HGV Club members, as well as the Diamond Clubs. When owners purchase a VOI, they are generally enrolled in a Club which allows the member to exchange their points for a number of vacation options. In addition to an annual membership fee, Club members pay incremental fees depending on exchanges they choose within the Club system.

33


 

We rent unsold VOI inventory, third-party inventory and inventory made available due to ownership exchanges through our club programs. We earn a fee from rentals of third-party inventory. Additionally, we provide ancillary offerings including food and beverage, retail and spa offerings at these timeshare properties.

Key Business and Financial Metrics and Terms Used by Management

Real Estate Sales Operating Metrics

We measure our performance using the following key operating metrics:

Contract sales represents the total amount of VOI products (fee-for-service, just-in-time, developed, and points-based) under purchase agreements signed during the period where we have received a down payment of at least 10 percent of the contract price. Contract sales differ from revenues from the Sales of VOIs, net that we report in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations due to the requirements for revenue recognition, as well as adjustments for incentives. We consider contract sales to be an important operating measure because it reflects the pace of sales in our business and is used to manage the performance of the sales organization. While we do not record the purchase price of sales of VOI products developed by fee-for-service partners as revenue in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, rather recording the commission earned as revenue in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe contract sales to be an important operational metric, reflective of the overall volume and pace of sales in our business and believe it provides meaningful comparability of our results to the results of our competitors which may source their VOI products differently.

We believe that the presentation of contract sales on a combined basis (fee-for-service, developed and points-based) is most appropriate for the purpose of the operating metric; additional information regarding the split of contract sales, is included in “—Real Estate” below.

Sales revenue represents Sales of VOIs, net, commissions and brand fees earned from the sale of fee-for-service intervals.
Real estate profit represents sales revenue less the cost of VOI sales, sales and marketing costs, net of marketing revenue. Real estate margin percentage is calculated by dividing real estate margin by sales revenue. We consider this to be an important operating measure because it measures the efficiency of our sales and marketing spending and management of inventory costs.
Tour flow represents the number of sales presentations given at our sales centers during the period.
Volume per guest (“VPG”) represents the sales attributable to tours at our sales locations and is calculated by dividing contract sales, excluding telesales, by tour flow. We consider VPG to be an important operating measure because it measures the effectiveness of our sales process, combining the average transaction price with the closing rate.

For further information see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 2: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA, presented herein, is a financial measure that is not recognized under U.S. GAAP that reflects net income (loss), before interest expense (excluding non-recourse debt), a provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as EBITDA, as previously defined, further adjusted to exclude certain items, including, but not limited to, gains, losses and expenses in connection with: (i) other gains, including asset dispositions and foreign currency translations; (ii) debt restructurings/retirements; (iii) non-cash impairment losses; (iv) share-based and other compensation expenses; and (v) other items, including but not limited to costs associated with acquisitions, restructuring, amortization of premiums resulting from purchase accounting, and other non-cash and one-time charges.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors about us and our financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are among the measures used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions; and (ii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common performance measure to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in our industry.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash flow or other methods of analyzing our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our interest expense (excluding interest expense on non-recourse debt), or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our indebtedness;
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the effect on earnings or changes resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our future operations;
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for future replacements of assets that are being depreciated and amortized; and
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be calculated differently from other companies in our industry limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as discretionary cash available to us to reinvest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.

Real Estate Sales and Financing

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), revenue and the related costs to fulfill and acquire the contract (“direct costs”) from sales of VOIs under construction are deferred until the point in time when construction activities are deemed to be completed. The real estate sales and financing segment is impacted by construction related deferral and recognition activity. In periods where Sales of VOIs and related direct costs of projects under construction are deferred, margin percentages will generally contract as the indirect marketing and selling costs associated with these sales are recognized as incurred in the current period. In periods where previously deferred Sales of VOIs and related direct costs are recognized upon construction completion, margin percentages will generally expand as the indirect marketing and selling costs associated with these sales were recognized in prior periods.

The following table represents deferrals and recognitions of Sales of VOI revenue and direct costs for properties under construction:

for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Real estate sales and financing segment revenues increased by $329 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to a $273 million increase in sales revenue and a $27 million increase in financing revenue. Excluding the impact of the Diamond Acquisition, sales revenue primarily increased due to the increase in travel demand and reopening of nearly all of our resorts and sales centers by the end of the second quarter of 2021 in addition to an increase in the average transaction price corresponding with new inventory available for sale at resorts that were opened in the second half of 2021. This increase was partially offset by a $10 million increase in deferred revenue related to sales of VOIs of Maui Bay Villas Phase IB and The Beach Resort Sesoko Phase II projects. Financing revenue increased corresponding with an increase in interest income driven by a greater outstanding timeshare financing receivables balance and an increase in servicing fees and interest rates. Real estate sales and financing segment Adjusted EBITDA increased by $126 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to the revenue increases discussed above in addition to improvements in our real estate sales and financing profit margins.

Resort Operations and Club Management

Resort operations and club management segment revenues increased by $188 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, driven by increases in rental and ancillary revenue of $104 million and resort and club management revenue of $80 million. Excluding the impact of the Diamond Acquisition, the increase in resort operations and club management revenues was driven by greater resort management revenue from the launch of new properties in the second half of 2021 as well as an increase in Club members. Rental and ancillary revenues also increased due to an increase in available rooms in addition to higher daily rates charged related to the aforementioned launch of new properties compared to the same period in 2021. Resort operations and club management segment adjusted EBITDA increased $59 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to the increases in resort and club management and rental revenues described above, partially offset by a decrease in resort and club management profit margins associated with higher salaries and wages expense.

Refer to “— Resort and Club Management” and “—Rental and Ancillary Services” for further discussion on the revenues and expenses of the resort operations and club management segment.

Real estate profit increased by $109 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. Excluding the impact of the Diamond Acquisition, this increase was driven by greater travel demand and the reopening of nearly all of our resorts and sales centers by the end of the second quarter of 2021. The increase in real estate profit was also attributed to a higher mix of sales of VOIs at new properties and greater commissions earned on sales of fee-for-service properties compared to the same period in 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, cost of VOI sales increased consistent with the increase in sales revenue. For the same periods, marketing revenue and other fees also increased as a result of an increase in breakage rates on marketing packages.

Financing profit increased by $21 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. Excluding the impact of the Diamond Acquisition, financing revenue slightly increased due to an increase in the weighted average interest rate and carrying balance of the timeshare financing receivables portfolio. Financing expense also increased slightly due to increased costs associated with loan servicing, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense resulting from a decrease in the balance of securitized non-recourse debt compared to the same period in 2021.

The change in other operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was driven by increased costs subsequent to the Diamond Acquisition and increases in expenses related to share-based compensation. General and administrative expenses increased by $21 million primarily due to increased salaries and wages expenses corresponding with an increase in team members associated with the Diamond Acquisition. General and administrative expenses also increased due to expenses incurred associated with Performance RSUs during the three months ended March 31, 2022, that were not incurred in the same period in 2021 due to certain performance targets that were not expected to be achieved during that period. Depreciation and amortization increased due to additional amortization expense recognized related to management contracts, club member relationships and trade names acquired as a part of the Diamond Acquisition. License fee expense increased during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due to improved segment results related to increased travel demand discussed above.

The change in non-operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily due to an increase in interest expense as a result of the issuance of our senior secured credit facility and senior notes in the second half of 2021, in addition to an increase in income tax expense driven by an increase in income before taxes. See Note 13: Debt and non-recourse debt and Note 16: Income Taxes for additional information.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our cash management objectives are to maintain the availability of liquidity, minimize operational costs, make debt payments and fund future acquisitions and development projects. Our known short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of funds necessary to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures, including payroll and related benefits, legal costs, operating costs associated with the operation of our resorts and sales centers, interest and scheduled principal payments on our outstanding indebtedness, inventory-related purchase commitments, and capital expenditures for renovations and maintenance at our offices and sales centers. Our long-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of funds necessary to pay for scheduled debt maturities, inventory-related purchase commitments and costs associated with acquisitions and development projects, including rebranding.

We finance our short- and long-term liquidity needs primarily through cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from our operations, draws on our senior secured credit facility and our non-recourse revolving timeshare credit facility (“Timeshare Facility”), and through periodic securitizations of our timeshare financing receivables.

As of March 31, 2022, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $817 million, including $303 million of restricted cash.
As of March 31, 2022, we have $699 million remaining borrowing capacity under the revolver facility.

41


 

As of March 31, 2022, we have $439 million remaining borrowing capacity in total under our Timeshare Facility, and conduit facilities due in 2023 and 2024. Of this amount, we have $154 million of mortgage notes that are available to be securitized and another $238 million of mortgage notes that we expect will become eligible as soon as they meet typical milestones including receipt of first payment, deeding, or recording.

We believe that our capital allocation strategy provides adequate funding for our operations, is flexible enough to fund our development pipeline, securitizes the optimal level of receivables, and provides the ability to be strategically opportunistic in the marketplace. We have made commitments with developers to purchase vacation ownership units at a future date to be marketed and sold under our Hilton Grand Vacations brand. As of March 31, 2022, our inventory-related purchase commitments totaled $329 million over 9 years.

Operating Activities

Cash flow provided by operating activities is primarily generated from (1) sales and financing of VOIs and (2) net cash generated from managing our resorts, Club and Diamond Club operations and providing related rental and ancillary services. Cash flows used in operating activities primarily include spending for the purchase and development of real estate for future conversion to inventory and funding our working capital needs. Our cash flows from operations generally vary due to the following factors related to the sale of our VOIs; the degree to which our owners finance their purchase and our owners’ repayment of timeshare financing receivables; the timing of management and sales and marketing services provided; and cash outlays for VOI inventory acquisition and development. Additionally, cash flow from operations will also vary depending upon our sales mix of VOIs; over time, we generally receive more cash from the sale of an owned VOI as compared to that from a fee-for-service sale.

The change in net cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily driven by increased sales and operating performance compared to the prior year, as discussed above, in addition to an increase in net working capital from operations.

Our capital expenditures include spending related to technology and buildings and leasehold improvements used to support sales and marketing locations, resort operations and corporate activities in addition to capitalized costs associated with rebranding Legacy-Diamond properties as a result of the Diamond Acquisition. We believe the renovations of our existing assets are necessary to stay competitive in the markets in which we operate.

The change in net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to costs associated with the rebranding of Legacy-Diamond properties.

The change in net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to an increase in drawings and repayments of non-recourse debt acquired as a part of the Diamond Acquisition.

Contractual Obligations

Our commitments primarily relate to agreements with developers to purchase or construct vacation ownership units, operating leases, and obligations associated with our debt, non-recourse debt and the related interest. As of March 31, 2022, we were committed to $5,501 million in contractual obligations over 9 years, $581 million of which will be fulfilled in the remainder of 2022. The ultimate amount and timing of certain commitments is subject to change pursuant to the terms of the respective arrangements, which could also allow for cancellation in certain circumstances. See Note 21: Commitments and Contingencies, Note 13: Debt and Non-recourse Debt and Note 15: Leases in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information. We also intend to rebrand Diamond properties to brands that meet Hilton standards pursuant to the Amended and Restated License Agreement with Hilton.

We utilize surety bonds related to the sales of VOIs in order to meet regulatory requirements of certain states. The availability, terms and conditions and pricing of such bonding capacity are dependent on, among other things, continued financial strength and stability of the insurance company affiliates providing the bonding capacity, general availability of such capacity and our corporate credit rating. We have commitments from surety providers in the amount of $296 million as of March 31, 2022 which primarily consist of escrow and construction related bonds.

Guarantor Financial Information

Certain subsidiaries, which are listed on Exhibit 22 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have guaranteed our obligations related to our senior unsecured 2029 Notes and 2031 Notes (together, "the Notes"). The 2029 Notes were issued in June 2021 with an aggregate principal balance of $850 million, an interest rate of 5.0 percent, and maturity in June 2029. The 2031 Notes were issued in June 2021 with an aggregate principal balance of $500 million, an interest rate of 4.875 percent, and maturity in July 2031.

The Notes were co-issued by Hilton Grand Vacations Borrower LLC and Hilton Grand Vacations Borrower Inc. (the “Issuers”) and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (the “Parent”), Hilton Grand Vacations Parent LLC, the Issuers, and each of the Issuer’s existing and future wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries (all entities that guarantee the Notes, collectively, the “Obligor group”).

43


 

The Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Issuers’ and each guarantor’s existing and future senior indebtedness, are subordinated to all of the Issuers’ and guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness, including the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, rank senior in right of payment to all of the Issuers’ and guarantors’ future subordinated indebtedness and other obligations that expressly provide for their subordination to the notes and the related guarantees, and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness claims of holders of preferred stock and other liabilities of the Issuer’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes.

The guarantee of each guarantor subsidiary is limited to a maximum amount, subject to applicable U.S. and non-U.S. laws. The guarantees can also be released upon the sale or transfer of a guarantor subsidiary’s capital stock or substantially all of its assets, becoming designated as an unrestricted subsidiary, or upon its consolidation into a co-Issuer or another subsidiary Guarantor.

The following tables provide summarized financial information of the Obligor group on a combined basis after elimination of (i) intercompany transactions and balances between the Parent and the subsidiary Guarantors and (ii) investments in and equity in the earnings of non-Guarantor subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates:

Subsequent Events

On April 21, 2022, we completed a $246 million securitization of our gross timeshare financing receivables with an overall weighted average interest rate of 4.30 percent and an overall advance rate of 95 percent. The proceeds were primarily used to pay down one of our conduit facilities in full, which was a total of $115 million, and for general corporate purposes.

On May 3, 2022, we amended the terms of the Timeshare Facility to increase the borrowing capacity from $450 million to $750 million, allowing us to borrow up to the maximum amount until May 2024 and requiring all amounts borrowed to be repaid in 2025. The Timeshare Facility is secured by certain timeshare financing receivables in our loan portfolio.

On May 4, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to an aggregate of $500 million of its outstanding shares of common stock.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

45


 

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. We manage our exposure to these risks by monitoring available financing alternatives and through pricing policies that may take into account currency exchange rates. Our exposure to market risk has not materially changed from what we previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk on our variable-rate debt, comprised of the term loans, Revolver and our Timeshare Facility and conduit facilities, of which the Timeshare Facility and conduit facilities, are without recourse to us. The interest rates are based on one-month LIBOR and we are most vulnerable to changes in this rate. We primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy for our variable-rate debt.

Our interest rate swaps have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk and recorded as a liability in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. For further information regarding these swaps, see Note 13: Debt and Non-recourse Debt and Note: 14: Fair Value Measurements.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Though the majority of our operations are conducted in United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”), we are exposed to earnings and cash flow volatility associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our principal exposure results from our timeshare financing receivables denominated in Japanese yen and Canadian dollars, the value of which could change materially in reference to our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar.

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) or our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of the controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error and mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of controls and procedures to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls and procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the controls and procedures may have deteriorated.

In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in 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, other than changes in control over financial reporting to integrate the business we acquired in the Diamond Acquisition.

46


 

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

We are involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business, some of which includes claims for substantial sums as detailed above in Note 21: Commitments and Contingencies. Management has evaluated these legal matters and we believe certain unfavorable outcomes are reasonably probable and estimable. We have accrued liabilities for these matters which are included in the March 31, 2022 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. While the ultimate results of claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we expect that the ultimate resolution of all pending or threatened claims and litigation as of March 31, 2022 will not have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following represents important updates to the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A. of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (our “2021 Form 10-K”). The risk factors included in our 2021 Form 10-K are important to understanding our business, operation, results of operations, financial condition, prospects, and our statements generally in this Form 10-Q. Therefore, they should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” and Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Form 10-Q.

In addition, the following risks and those risks described in our 2021 Form 10-K contain forward-looking statements, and they may not be the only risks facing the Company. The future business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company can be affected by the risk factors described in such reports and by other factors currently unknown, that management presently believes not to be material, that management has made certain forward looking projections, estimates or assumptions on, or that may rapidly evolve, develop or change. Any one or more of such factors could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual financial condition and results of operations to vary materially and adversely from past, or from anticipated future financial condition and results of operations. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and the trading price of our common stock. Because of these factors affecting our financial condition, key business operational metrics, and operating results, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

 

We cannot guarantee that we will repurchase our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program or that our share repurchase program will enhance long-term shareholder value. Share repurchases could also increase the volatility of the price of our common stock and diminish our cash reserves.

 

On May 4, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program"), pursuant to which we may repurchase up to $500 million of our common stock over a two year period. The timing and amount of repurchases of shares of our common stock, if any, will depend upon several factors, such as the market price of our common stock, general market and economic conditions, our working capital requirements and corporate strategy, the terms of our financing arrangements and applicable legal requirements. We are not obligated to repurchase any specific number or amount of shares of common stock pursuant to the Repurchase Program, and we may modify, suspend or terminate the Repurchase Program at any time without prior notice. Repurchases of our common stock pursuant to the Repurchase Program could impact our stock price and increase its volatility. The existence of the Repurchase Program could cause our stock price to be higher than it would be in the absence of such a program. Additionally, the Repurchase Program could diminish our cash reserves, which may impact our ability to finance future growth and to pursue possible future strategic opportunities. There can be no assurance that any share repurchases will enhance long-term stockholder value, and the market price of our common stock may decline below the levels at which we repurchased shares of stock.
