MARRIOTT VACATIONS WORLDWIDE CORPORATION
INTERIM CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (referred to in this report as (i) “we,” “us,” “Marriott Vacations Worldwide,” “MVW” or “the Company,” which includes our consolidated subsidiaries except where the context of the reference is to a single corporate entity, or (ii) “MVWC,” which shall refer only to Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation, without its consolidated subsidiaries). In order to make this report easier to read, we refer throughout to (i) our Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as our “Financial Statements,” (ii) our Interim Consolidated Statements of Income as our “Income Statements,” (iii) our Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets as our “Balance Sheets,” and (iv) our Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as our “Cash Flows.” In addition, references throughout to numbered “Footnotes” refer to the numbered Notes in these Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, unless otherwise noted. Capitalized terms used and not specifically defined herein have the same meanings given those terms in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report”). We use certain other terms that are defined within these Financial Statements.
The Financial Statements presented herein and discussed below include 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows of Marriott Vacations Worldwide, all entities in which Marriott Vacations Worldwide has a controlling voting interest (“subsidiaries”), and those variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which Marriott Vacations Worldwide is the primary beneficiary in accordance with consolidation accounting guidance. References in these Financial Statements to net income or loss attributable to common shareholders and MVW shareholders’ equity do not include noncontrolling interests, which represent the outside ownership of our consolidated non-wholly owned entities and are reported separately. Intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated in consolidation.
These Financial Statements reflect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as prepared in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allocations of the purchase price paid in business combinations, cost of vacation ownership products, inventory valuation, goodwill and intangibles valuation, accounting for acquired vacation ownership notes receivable, vacation ownership notes receivable reserves, income taxes, and loss contingencies. The uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the ongoing efforts to mitigate it, has made it more challenging to make these estimates. Accordingly, ultimate results could differ from our estimates, and such differences may be material.
In our opinion, our Financial Statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, the results of our operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results may not be indicative of fiscal year performance because of, among other reasons, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and seasonal and short-term variations. These Financial Statements have not been audited. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. Although we believe our footnote disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, the Financial Statements in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our 2021 Annual Report.
Acquisition of Welk
On April 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Welk Hospitality Group, Inc. (“Welk”) through a series of transactions (the “Welk Acquisition”), after which Welk became our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary. We refer to the business and brands that we acquired as “Legacy-Welk.” See Footnote 3 “Acquisitions” for more information on the Welk Acquisition.
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS |
New Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Update 2020-06 – “Debt — Debt With Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”)
In the first quarter of 2022, we adopted accounting standards update (“ASU”) 2020-06, using the modified retrospective method. Under ASU 2020-06, we no longer separate our convertible notes into liability and equity components,
7
and we are required to calculate the impact of our convertible notes on diluted earnings per share using the “if-converted” method, regardless of intent to settle or partially settle the debt in cash. Under the “if-converted” method, diluted earnings per share would generally be calculated assuming that all of our convertible notes were converted solely into shares of common stock at the beginning of the reporting period, unless the result would be anti-dilutive. The application of the “if- converted” method reduces our reported diluted earnings per share. The impacts of the adoption were recorded as a cumulative effect in the opening balance of retained earnings and the conversion feature related to our convertible notes was reclassified from equity to liabilities. In addition, we eliminated the related equity adjustment associated with the deferred tax liability. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 resulted in an increase in debt of $107 million, a decrease in additional paid-in capital of $111 million, and a decrease in deferred taxes of $27 million, as well as a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of $31 million. The remaining debt issuance costs will continue to be amortized over the term of our convertible notes. The prior period consolidated financial statements have not been retrospectively restated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.
Accounting Standards Update 2021-08 - “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2021-08”)
In the first quarter of 2022, we adopted ASU 2021-08, which amended ASC 805 to require entities to apply ASC 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers in a business combination. The adoption of ASU 2021-08 on January 1, 2022 did not have a material impact on our financial statements and disclosure. In the event that we complete business combinations in the future, the application of ASU 2021-08 could result in higher acquired deferred revenue.
Future Adoption of Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Update 2020-04 – “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”)
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, as amended, which provides optional expedients and exceptions to existing guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting in an effort to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This update was effective upon issuance and issuers may generally elect to adopt the optional expedients and exceptions over time through December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, the interest rate applicable to borrowings under our existing Term Loan (as defined in Footnote 13 “Debt”) and Warehouse Credit Facility (as defined in Footnote 12 “Securitized Debt”) generally continue to reference LIBOR, as do certain interest rate swaps and collars. These instruments have not yet discontinued the use of LIBOR. To the extent these instruments are amended to reference a different benchmark interest rate, we may elect to utilize the relief available in ASU 2020-04. When we renew or amend our remaining existing debt instruments, we will determine a replacement rate for LIBOR. We have not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions as of March 31, 2022, but will continue to evaluate their adoption during the effective period as circumstances evolve.
Accounting Standards Update 2022-02 – “Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” (“ASU 2022-02”)
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, which eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance applicable to troubled debt restructurings for creditors and enhances disclosure requirements with respect to loan modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. ASU 2022-02 also requires disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination to be presented in the vintage disclosures for financing receivables. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact that adoption of ASU 2022-02, including the timing of implementation, will have on our financial statements and disclosures; however, we do not expect adoption to have a material effect on our financial statements or disclosures other than disclosure changes related to vintage disclosures for financing receivables.

The values attributed to Vacation ownership notes receivable, Inventory, Property and equipment, Intangible assets, and Securitized debt from VIEs are based on valuations prepared using Level 3 inputs and assumptions in accordance with ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC 820”). The value attributed to Debt is based on Level 2 inputs in accordance with ASC 820. During the first quarter of 2022, we finalized our allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities. The following table presents the fair values of the assets that we acquired and the liabilities that we assumed in connection with the business combination as previously reported at December 31, 2021, and as finalized at March 31, 2022. During the first quarter of 2022, we refined our valuation models related to certain acquired assets and liabilities as follows:

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

5. | INCOME TAXES |
Our provision for income taxes is calculated using an estimated annual effective tax rate, based upon expected annual income, less losses in certain jurisdictions, permanent items, statutory rates and planned tax strategies in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. However, discrete items related to prior year tax items are treated separately.
Our interim effective tax rate was 35.6% and 29.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate is predominately attributable to an increase in pre-tax income and an increase in the reserve for uncertain tax benefits.
12
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
The following table summarizes the activity related to our unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest and penalties) during the three months ended March 31, 2022. These unrecognized tax benefits relate to uncertain income tax positions, which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized.
($ in millions) | Unrecognized Tax Benefits | ||||
Balance at December 31, 2021 | $ | 26 | |||
Increases related to tax positions taken during a prior period | 2 | ||||
Balance at March 31, 2022 | $ | 28 |
The total amount of gross interest and penalties accrued was $45 million at March 31, 2022 and $42 million at December 31, 2021. We anticipate $14 million of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, to be indemnified pursuant to a Tax Matters Agreement dated May 11, 2016 by and among Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., Vistana Signature Experiences, Inc., and Interval Leisure Group, Inc., and consequently have recorded a corresponding indemnification asset. The unrecognized tax benefits, including accrued interest and penalties, are included in Other liabilities on our Balance Sheet.
Our income tax returns are subject to examination by relevant tax authorities. Certain of our returns are being audited in various jurisdictions for tax years 2007 through 2019. The amount of the unrecognized tax benefit may increase or decrease as a result of audits or audit settlements.

Credit Quality of Vacation Ownership Notes Receivable
Legacy-MVW Vacation Ownership Notes Receivable
For both Legacy-MVW non-securitized and securitized vacation ownership notes receivable, we estimated average remaining default rates of 6.71% as of March 31, 2022, and 6.74% as of December 31, 2021. A 0.5 percentage point increase in the estimated default rate would have resulted in an increase in the related vacation ownership notes receivable reserve of $6 million as of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
We use the aging of the vacation ownership notes receivable as the primary credit quality indicator for our Legacy-MVW vacation ownership notes receivable, as historical performance indicates that there is a relationship between the default behavior of borrowers and the age of the receivable associated with the vacation ownership interest.
The following table shows our recorded investment in non-accrual Legacy-MVW vacation ownership notes receivable, which are vacation ownership notes receivable that are 90 days or more past due.

Legacy-ILG and Legacy-Welk Vacation Ownership Notes Receivable
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the weighted average FICO score within our consolidated Legacy-ILG and Legacy-Welk vacation ownership notes receivable pools was 708 and 707, respectively, based upon the FICO score of the borrower at the time of origination. The average estimated rate for all future defaults for our Legacy-ILG and Legacy-Welk consolidated outstanding pool of vacation ownership notes receivable was 17.14% as of March 31, 2022 and 17.33% as of December 31, 2021. A 0.5 percentage point increase in the estimated default rate on the Legacy-ILG and Legacy-Welk vacation ownership notes receivable would have resulted in an increase in the related vacation ownership notes receivable reserve of $4 million as of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
We use the origination of the vacation ownership notes receivable by brand (Westin, Sheraton, Hyatt, Welk) and the FICO scores of the customer as the primary credit quality indicators for our Legacy-ILG and Legacy-Welk vacation ownership notes receivable, as historical performance indicates that there is a relationship between the default behavior of borrowers and the brand associated with the vacation ownership interest they have acquired, supplemented by the FICO scores of the customers. Vacation ownership notes receivable with no FICO score in the tables below primarily relate to non-U.S. resident borrowers.

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

$ | 2,030 | $ | 2,091 | $ | 2,045 | $ | 2,102 |
We estimate the fair value of our vacation ownership notes receivable that have been securitized using a discounted cash flow model. We believe this is comparable to the model that an independent third party would use in the current market. Our model uses default rates, prepayment rates, coupon rates, and loan terms for our securitized vacation ownership notes receivable portfolio as key drivers of risk and relative value to determine the fair value of the underlying vacation ownership notes receivable. We concluded that this fair value measurement should be categorized within Level 3.
Due to factors that impact the general marketability of our vacation ownership notes receivable that have not been securitized, as well as current market conditions, we bifurcate our non-securitized vacation ownership notes receivable at each balance sheet date into those eligible and not eligible for securitization using criteria applicable to current securitization transactions in the ABS market. Generally, vacation ownership notes receivable are considered not eligible for securitization if any of the following attributes are present: (1) payments are greater than 30 days past due; (2) the first payment has not been received; or (3) the collateral is located in Asia or Europe. In some cases, eligibility may also be determined based on
20
the credit score of the borrower, the remaining term of the loans and other similar factors that may reflect investor demand in a securitization transaction or the cost to effectively securitize the vacation ownership notes receivable.
The table above shows the bifurcation of our vacation ownership notes receivable that have not been securitized into those eligible and not eligible for securitization based upon the aforementioned eligibility criteria. We estimate the fair value of the portion of our vacation ownership notes receivable that have not been securitized that we believe will ultimately be securitized in the same manner as vacation ownership notes receivable that have been securitized. We value the remaining vacation ownership notes receivable that have not been securitized at their carrying value, rather than using our pricing model. We believe that the carrying value of these particular vacation ownership notes receivable approximates fair value because the stated, or otherwise imputed, interest rates of these loans are consistent with current market rates and the reserve for these vacation ownership notes receivable appropriately accounts for risks in default rates, prepayment rates, discount rates, and loan terms. We concluded that this fair value measurement should be categorized within Level 3.
Other Assets
Other assets include $74 million of company owned insurance policies (the “COLI policies”), acquired on the lives of certain participants in the Marriott Vacations Worldwide Deferred Compensation Plan, that are held in a rabbi trust. The carrying value of the COLI policies is equal to their cash surrender value (Level 2 inputs).
Securitized Debt
We generate cash flow estimates by modeling all bond tranches for our active vacation ownership notes receivable securitization transactions, with consideration for the collateral specific to each tranche. The key drivers in our analysis include default rates, prepayment rates, bond interest rates, and other structural factors, which we use to estimate the projected cash flows. In order to estimate market credit spreads by rating, we obtain indicative credit spreads from investment banks that actively issue and facilitate the market for vacation ownership securities and determine an average credit spread by rating level of the different tranches. We then apply those estimated market spreads to swap rates in order to estimate an underlying discount rate for calculating the fair value of the active bonds payable. We concluded that this fair value measurement should be categorized within Level 3.
Senior Notes
We estimate the fair value of our 2025 Notes, 2028 Notes, and 2029 Notes (each as defined in Footnote 13 “Debt”) using quoted market prices as of the last trading day for the quarter; however these notes have only a limited trading history and volume, and as such this fair value estimate is not necessarily indicative of the value at which these notes could be retired or transferred. We concluded that this fair value measurement should be categorized within Level 2.
Term Loan
We estimate the fair value of our Term Loan (as defined in Footnote 13 “Debt”) using quotes from securities dealers as of the last trading day for the quarter; however this loan has only a limited trading history and volume, and as such this fair value estimate is not necessarily indicative of the value at which the Term Loan could be retired or transferred. We concluded that this fair value measurement should be categorized within Level 3.
Convertible Notes
We estimate the fair value of our 2022 Convertible Notes and 2026 Convertible Notes (each as defined in Footnote 13 “Debt” and referred to collectively as our “convertible notes”) using quoted market prices as of the last trading day for the quarter; however these notes have only a limited trading history and volume, and as such this fair value estimate is not necessarily indicative of the value at which the convertible notes could be retired or transferred. We concluded that this fair value measurement should be categorized within Level 2. The difference between the carrying value and the fair value is primarily attributed to the underlying conversion feature and the spread between the conversion price and the market value of the shares underlying the convertible notes.
Non-Interest Bearing Note Payable
The carrying value of our non-interest bearing note payable issued in connection with the acquisition of vacation ownership units located in Bali, Indonesia approximates fair value, because the imputed interest rate used to discount this note payable is consistent with current market rates. We concluded that this fair value measurement should be categorized within Level 3.

8. | EARNINGS PER SHARE |
Basic earnings or loss per common share attributable to common shareholders is calculated by dividing net income or loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Treasury stock is excluded from the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings or loss per common share attributable to common shareholders is calculated to give effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the reporting period, except in periods when there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. The dilutive effect of outstanding equity-based compensation awards is reflected in diluted earnings or loss per common share applicable to common shareholders by application of the treasury stock method using average market prices during the period.
We adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective method. ASU 2020-06 was applicable to our convertible notes outstanding as of adoption and requires us to calculate the impact of our convertible notes on diluted earnings per share using the “if-converted” method, regardless of our intent to settle or partially settle the debt in cash. Under the “if-converted” method, shares issuable upon conversion of our convertible notes are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the period, to the extent dilutive. Earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 have not been retrospectively restated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period.
The shares issuable on exercise of the warrants sold in connection with the issuance of our convertible notes will not impact the total dilutive weighted average shares outstanding unless and until the price of our common stock exceeds the respective strike price. If and when the price of our common stock exceeds the respective strike price of either of the warrants, we will include the dilutive effect of the additional shares that may be issued upon exercise of the warrants in total dilutive weighted average shares outstanding, which we calculate using the treasury stock method. The convertible note hedges purchased in connection with each issuance of convertible notes are considered to be anti-dilutive and do not impact our calculation of diluted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders for any periods presented herein. See Footnote 13 “Debt” for further information on our convertible notes.
The table below illustrates the reconciliation of the earnings or loss and number of shares used in our calculation of basic and diluted earnings or loss per share attributable to common shareholders.

(1)The computation of diluted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders excludes approximately 300,000 shares of common stock, the maximum number of shares issuable as of March 31, 2022, upon the vesting of certain performance-based awards, because the performance conditions required to be met for the shares subject to such awards to vest were not achieved by the end of the reporting period.

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

In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for calculating earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2022, we excluded from our calculation of diluted earnings per share 126,169 shares underlying stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) that may settle in shares of common stock because the exercise price of $173.88 of such SARs was greater than the average market price for the applicable period.

Product cost true-up activity relating to vacation ownership products increased carrying values of inventory by $7 million during the first quarter of 2022 and by $1 million during the first quarter of 2021.
In addition to the above, at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $496 million and $460 million, respectively, of completed vacation ownership units which are classified as a component of Property and equipment, net until the time at which they are available and legally registered for sale as vacation ownership products.

Commitments and Letters of Credit
As of March 31, 2022, we had the following commitments outstanding:
•We have various contracts for the use of information technology hardware and software that we use in the normal course of business. Our aggregate commitment under these contracts was $97 million, of which we expect $43 million, $30 million, $13 million, $8 million, and $3 million will be paid in the remainder of 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 and thereafter, respectively.
•We have a commitment to acquire real estate for use in our Vacation Ownership segment via our involvement with a VIE. Refer to Footnote 16 “Variable Interest Entities” for additional information and our activities relating to the VIE involved in this transaction.
•We have commitments to acquire inventory from our managed owners’ associations in the remainder of 2022 for $79 million.
Surety bonds issued as of March 31, 2022 totaled $120 million, the majority of which were requested by federal, state, or local governments in connection with our operations.
As of March 31, 2022, we had $2 million of letters of credit outstanding under our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility (as defined in Footnote 13 “Debt”). In addition, as of March 31, 2022, we had $2 million in letters of credit outstanding related to and in lieu of reserves required for several vacation ownership notes receivable securitization transactions outstanding. These letters of credit are not issued pursuant to, nor do they impact our borrowing capacity under, the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility.
Guarantees
Certain of our rental management agreements in our Exchange & Third-Party Management segment provide for owners of properties we manage to receive specified percentages of rental revenue or guaranteed amounts generated under our management. In these cases, the operating expenses for the rental operations are paid from the revenue generated by the rentals, the owners are then paid their contractual percentages or guaranteed amounts, and our vacation rental business either retains the balance (if any) as its fee or makes up the deficit. At March 31, 2022, our maximum exposure under fixed dollar guarantees was $8 million, of which $1 million, $2 million, $2 million, $1 million, $1 million, and $1 million relate to the remainder of 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, and thereafter, respectively.
We have a commitment to an owners’ association that we manage to pay for any shortfall between the actual expenses incurred by the owners’ association and the income received by the owners’ association, in lieu of maintenance fees for unsold inventory. The agreement will terminate on the earlier of: 1) sale of 95% of the total ownership interests in the owners’ association; or 2) written notification of termination by either party. At March 31, 2022, our expected commitment for the remainder of 2022 is $10 million, which will ultimately be recorded as a component of rental expense on our income statement.

Loss Contingencies
In February 2019, the owners’ association for the St. Regis Residence Club, New York filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court for the State of New York, New York County, Commercial Division against ILG and several of its subsidiaries and certain third parties. The operative complaint alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties related to sale and rental practices, aided and abetted certain breaches of fiduciary duty, engaged in self-dealing as the sponsor and manager of the club, tortiously interfered with the management agreement, were unjustly enriched, and engaged in anticompetitive conduct. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified damages, punitive damages and disgorgement of payments under the management and purchase agreements. In February 2022, the Court granted our motion to dismiss the complaint and dismissed with prejudice all claims except one, with respect to which the plaintiff was granted leave to amend its complaint. The plaintiff has filed an amended complaint and has appealed the dismissal of the other claims.
In April 2019, a purported class-action lawsuit was filed by Alan and Marjorie Helman and others against us in the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands, Division of St. Thomas alleging that their fractional interests were devalued by the affiliation of The Ritz-Carlton Club, St. Thomas and other Ritz-Carlton Clubs with our MVCD program. The lawsuit was subsequently removed to the U.S. District Court for the District of the Virgin Islands. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages, disgorgement of profits, fees and costs.
We believe we have meritorious defenses to the claims in each of the above matters and intend to vigorously defend each matter.
In the ordinary course of our business, various claims and lawsuits have been filed or are pending against us. A number of these lawsuits and claims may exist at any given time. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic may give rise to various claims and lawsuits from owners, members and other parties. We record and accrue for legal contingencies when we determine that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In making such determinations, we evaluate, among other things, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, our ability to make a reasonable estimate of loss. We review these accruals each reporting period and make revisions based on changes in facts and circumstances.
We have not accrued for any of the pending matters described above and we cannot estimate a range of the potential liability associated with these pending matters, if any, at this time. We have accrued for other claims and lawsuits, but the amount accrued is not material individually or in the aggregate. For matters not requiring accrual, we do not believe that the ultimate outcome of such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will materially harm our financial position, cash flows, or overall trends in results of operations based on information currently available. However, legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and while we believe that our accruals are adequate and/or we have valid defenses to the claims asserted, unfavorable rulings could occur that could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results.
Leases That Have Not Yet Commenced
During 2020, we entered into a finance lease arrangement, which was then amended in 2021, for our new global headquarters office building, which is being constructed in Orlando, Florida. The initial lease term is approximately 16 years with total lease payments of $137 million for the aforementioned period. We expect the new office building to be completed in 2023. Upon commencement of the lease term, a right-of-use asset and corresponding liability will be recorded on our balance sheet.

If a pool of securitized vacation ownership notes receivable fails to perform within the pool’s established parameters (default or delinquency thresholds vary by transaction), transaction provisions effectively redirect the monthly excess spread we would otherwise receive from that pool (attributable to the interests we retained) to accelerate the principal payments to investors (taking into account the subordination of the different tranches to the extent there are multiple tranches) until the performance trigger is cured. During the first quarter of 2022, and as of March 31, 2022, we had 14 securitized vacation ownership notes receivable pools outstanding, none of which were out of compliance with their respective established parameters.
As the contractual terms of the underlying securitized vacation ownership notes receivable determine the maturities of the non-recourse debt associated with them, actual maturities may occur earlier than shown above due to prepayments by the vacation ownership notes receivable obligors.
Warehouse Credit Facility
Our warehouse credit facility (the “Warehouse Credit Facility”), which has a borrowing capacity of $350 million, allows for the securitization of vacation ownership notes receivable on a revolving non-recourse basis. During the first quarter of 2022, we securitized vacation ownership notes receivable under our Warehouse Credit Facility. The carrying amount of the vacation ownership notes receivable securitized was $125 million. The average advance rate was 81%, which resulted in gross proceeds of $102 million. Net proceeds were $101 million due to the funding of reserve accounts of $1 million.

Senior Notes
Our senior notes include:
•$500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 issued in the second quarter of 2020 with a maturity date of September 15, 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), of which $250 million of principal was outstanding as of March 31, 2022.
•$350 million aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2028 issued in the fourth quarter of 2019 with a maturity date of January 15, 2028 (the “2028 Notes”).
•$500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.500% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2029 issued in the second quarter of 2021 with a maturity date of June 15, 2029 (the “2029 Notes”).
Corporate Credit Facility
Our corporate credit facility (“Corporate Credit Facility”), which provides support for our business, including ongoing liquidity and letters of credit, includes a $900 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan”), which matures on August 31, 2025, and bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.75%, and a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Corporate Credit Facility”) that includes a letter of credit sub-facility of $75 million.
During the first quarter of 2022, we entered into an amendment to the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility (the “Amendment”), which increased the borrowing capacity of the existing revolving credit facility from $600 million to $750 million and extended the maturity date from August 31, 2023 to March 31, 2027. The Amendment modified the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility to reference the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and to be based on “Adjusted Term SOFR,” which is calculated as Term SOFR (as defined in the Amendment), plus a 0.10% adjustment, subject to a 0.00% floor. Interest rates for other select non-U.S. dollar borrowings were also amended to be based on updated variable rate indices. The applicable margins with respect to the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility were amended to be based on leverage-based measures instead of credit ratings-based measures. The Amendment made no other material changes to the Corporate Credit Facility.
Prior to 2020, we entered into $250 million of interest rate swaps under which we pay a fixed rate of 2.9625% and receive a floating interest rate through September 2023 and $200 million of interest rate swaps under which we pay a fixed rate of 2.2480% and receive a floating interest rate through April 2024, in each case to hedge a portion of our interest rate risk on the Term Loan. We also entered into a $100 million interest rate collar with a cap strike rate of 2.5000% and a floor strike rate of 1.8810% through April 2024 to further hedge our interest rate risk on the Term Loan. Both the interest rate swaps and the interest rate collar have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk and recorded in Other liabilities on our Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 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 loss related to our derivative instruments during the first quarters of 2022 and 2021. There were no reclassifications to the Income Statement for either of the periods presented below.

Convertible Notes
2022 Convertible Notes
During 2017, we issued $230 million of aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes (the “2022 Convertible Notes”) that bear interest at a rate of 1.50%, payable in cash semi-annually. The 2022 Convertible Notes mature on September 15, 2022, unless repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to that date.
The conversion rate is subject to adjustment for certain events as described in the indenture governing the notes, and was subject to adjustment as of March 31, 2022 to 6.8402 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2022 Convertible Notes (equivalent to a conversion price of $146.19 per share of our common stock), as a result of the dividends we declared since issuance of the 2022 Convertible Notes that were greater than the quarterly dividend we paid when the 2022 Convertible Notes were issued. Upon conversion, we will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our
28
common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election. As of March 31, 2022, the effective interest rate was 2.19%.

Share Repurchase Program
During the third quarter of 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program under which we may purchase shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $250 million, prior to December 31, 2022. Share repurchases may be made through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block transactions, tender offers, or otherwise. The specific timing, amount and other terms of the repurchases will depend on market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. Acquired shares of our common stock are held as treasury shares carried at cost in our Financial Statements. In connection with the repurchase program, we are authorized to adopt one or more plans pursuant to the provisions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
During the first quarter of 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $300 million of our common stock, as well as the extension of the term of our existing share repurchase program to March 31, 2023.
As of March 31, 2022, $353 million remained available for repurchase under the share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors.

15. | SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION |
We maintain the Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “MVW Equity Plan”) for the benefit of our officers, directors, and employees. Under the MVW Equity Plan, we are authorized to award: (1) restricted stock units (“RSUs”) of our common stock, (2) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) relating to our common stock, and (3) stock options to purchase our common stock. A total of 1.8 million shares are authorized for issuance pursuant to grants under the MVW Equity Plan. As of March 31, 2022, approximately 1.0 million shares were available for grants under the MVW Equity Plan.

During the first quarter of 2022, we also granted performance-based RSUs, which are subject to performance-based vesting conditions, to members of management. A maximum of 135,012 RSUs may be earned under the performance-based RSU awards granted during the first quarter of 2022.
Stock Appreciation Rights
We granted 77,037 SARs, with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $59.68 and a weighted average exercise price of $159.27, to members of management during the first quarter of 2022. We use the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of the SARs granted. The expected stock price volatility was calculated based on the average of the historical and implied volatility of our stock price. The average expected life was calculated using the simplified method, as we have insufficient historical information to provide a basis for estimating average expected life. The risk-free interest rate was calculated based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life assumed at the date of grant. The dividend yield assumption listed below is based on the expectation of future payouts.
The following table outlines the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of grants during the first quarter of 2022:
Expected volatility | 42.86% | ||||
Dividend yield | 1.53% | ||||
Risk-free rate | 1.77% | ||||

16. | VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES |
Variable Interest Entities Related to Our Vacation Ownership Notes Receivable Securitizations
We periodically securitize, without recourse, through bankruptcy remote special purpose entities, notes receivable originated in connection with the sale of vacation ownership products. These vacation ownership notes receivable securitizations provide funding for us and transfer the economic risks and substantially all the benefits of the consumer loans we originate to third parties. In a vacation ownership notes receivable securitization, various classes of debt securities issued by a special purpose entity are generally collateralized by a single tranche of transferred assets, which consist of vacation ownership notes receivable. With each vacation ownership notes receivable securitization, we may retain a portion of the securities, subordinated tranches, interest-only strips, subordinated interests in accrued interest and fees on the securitized vacation ownership notes receivable or, in some cases, overcollateralization and cash reserve accounts.
We created these bankruptcy remote special purpose entities to serve as a mechanism for holding assets and related liabilities, and the entities have no equity investment at risk, making them VIEs. We continue to service the vacation ownership notes receivable, transfer all proceeds collected to these special purpose entities, and retain rights to receive benefits that are potentially significant to the entities. Accordingly, we concluded that we are the entities’ primary beneficiary and, therefore, consolidate them. There is no noncontrolling interest balance related to these entities and the creditors of these entities do not have general recourse to us.

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

Other Variable Interest Entities
We have a commitment to purchase a property located in Waikiki, Hawaii, which we assigned to a third party during 2020. The property is held by a VIE for which we are not the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, we have not consolidated the VIE. As of March 31, 2022, our Balance Sheet reflected $1 million in Accounts Receivable, including a note receivable of less than $1 million. We believe that our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with this VIE is approximately $1 million as of March 31, 2022. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2022, we extended a loan to the VIE for $47 million and amended the terms of this commitment. As a result of the amended commitment, if we are unable to negotiate a capital efficient inventory arrangement under which a third party will purchase the property and agree to resell it to us at a later date, we are committed to purchase the property, in its then current form, for $80 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, unless it has been sold to another party. The loan extended to the VIE is due in full upon the earlier of sale of the property, including a sale to us, or an amendment and restatement of our purchase commitment. In the latter case, the existing loan of $47 million would be repaid to us as part of that revised purchase commitment on the part of MVW.
Deferred Compensation Plan
We consolidate the liabilities of the Marriott Vacations Worldwide Deferred Compensation Plan and the related assets, which consist of the COLI policies held in the rabbi trust. The rabbi trust is considered a VIE. We are considered the primary beneficiary of the rabbi trust because we direct the activities of the trust and are the beneficiary of the trust. At March 31, 2022, the value of the assets held in the rabbi trust was $74 million, which is included in the Other line within assets on our Balance Sheets.
17. | BUSINESS SEGMENTS |
We define our reportable segments based on the way in which the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), currently our chief executive officer, manages the operations of the Company for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. We operate in two operating and reportable business segments:
•Vacation Ownership includes a diverse portfolio of resorts that includes some of the world’s most iconic brands licensed under exclusive, long-term relationships. We are the exclusive worldwide developer, marketer, seller, and manager of vacation ownership and related products under the Marriott Vacation Club, Grand Residences by Marriott, Sheraton Vacation Club, Westin Vacation Club, and Hyatt Residence Club brands, as well as under Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, an extension to the Marriott Vacation Club brand. We are also the exclusive worldwide developer, marketer, and seller of vacation ownership and related products under The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club brand, we have the non-exclusive right to develop, market, and sell whole ownership residential products under The Ritz-Carlton Residences brand and have a license to use the St. Regis brand for specified fractional ownership resorts.
•Our Vacation Ownership segment generates most of its revenues from four primary sources: selling vacation ownership products; managing vacation ownership resorts, clubs, and owners’ associations; financing consumer purchases of vacation ownership products; and renting vacation ownership inventory.
•Exchange & Third-Party Management includes exchange networks and membership programs, as well as provision of management services to other resorts and lodging properties. We provide these services through a variety of brands including Interval International, Trading Places International (“TPI”), Vacation Resorts International (“VRI”), and Aqua-Aston. Exchange & Third-Party Management revenue generally is fee-based
34
and derived from membership, exchange and rental transactions, owners’ association management, and other related products and services.
Our CODM evaluates the performance of our segments based primarily on the results of the segment without allocating corporate expenses or income taxes. We do not allocate corporate interest expense or indirect general and administrative expenses to our segments. We include interest income specific to segment activities within the appropriate segment. We allocate depreciation, other gains and losses, equity in earnings or losses from our joint ventures, and noncontrolling interest to each of our segments as appropriate. Corporate and other represents that portion of our results that are not allocable to our segments, including those relating to consolidated owners’ associations, as our CODM does not use this information to make operating segment resource allocations.
Our CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the profitability of our operating segments, and the components of net income or loss attributable to common shareholders excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are not separately evaluated. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss attributable to common shareholders, before interest expense (excluding consumer financing interest expense associated with securitization transactions), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding share-based compensation expense and adjusted for certain items that affect the comparability of our operating performance. Our reconciliation of the aggregate amount of Adjusted EBITDA for our reportable segments to consolidated net income or loss attributable to common shareholders is presented below.

Business Overview
We are a leading global vacation company that offers vacation ownership, exchange, rental, and resort and property management, along with related businesses, products and services. Our business operates in two reportable segments: Vacation Ownership and Exchange & Third-Party Management.
Our Vacation Ownership segment includes a diverse portfolio of resorts that includes some of the world’s most iconic brands licensed under exclusive long-term relationships. We are the exclusive worldwide developer, marketer, seller and manager of vacation ownership and related products under the Marriott Vacation Club, Grand Residences by Marriott, Sheraton Vacation Club, Westin Vacation Club, and Hyatt Residence Club brands, as well as under Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, an extension to the Marriott Vacation Club brand. We are also the exclusive worldwide developer, marketer and seller of vacation ownership and related products under The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club brand, we have the non-exclusive right
37
to develop, market and sell whole ownership residential products under The Ritz-Carlton Residences brand and we have a license to use the St. Regis brand for specified fractional ownership resorts.
Our Vacation Ownership segment generates most of its revenues from four primary sources: selling vacation ownership products; managing vacation ownership resorts, clubs and owners’ associations; financing consumer purchases of vacation ownership products; and renting vacation ownership inventory.
Our Exchange & Third-Party Management segment includes exchange networks and membership programs, as well as provision of management services to other resorts and lodging properties. As of the end of the first quarter of 2022, we provided these services through a variety of brands including Interval International, VRI, TPI, and Aqua-Aston. Exchange & Third-Party Management revenue generally is fee-based and derived from membership, exchange and rental transactions, property and association management, and other related products and services. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2022, we disposed of the VRI and TPI businesses. See Footnote 18 “Subsequent Event” to our Financial Statements for further information regarding this disposition.
Corporate and other represents that portion of our results that are not allocable to our segments, including those relating to consolidated property owners’ associations (“Consolidated Property Owners’ Associations”).
Acquisition of Welk
On April 1, 2021, we completed the Welk Acquisition, after which Welk became our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary. We refer to Welk’s business and brands that we acquired as “Legacy-Welk.” In April 2022, we introduced the Hyatt Vacation Club and rebranded Welk’s vacation ownership program as the Hyatt Vacation Club Platinum Program, enabling Legacy-Welk sales centers to sell a Hyatt-branded vacation ownership product. Most Legacy-Welk resorts are now available for rental stays through Hyatt.com.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions in international and U.S. economies and markets, and has had an unprecedented impact on the travel and hospitality industries, as well as our Company. We discuss the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential future implications throughout this report; however, the COVID-19 pandemic, and any recovery therefrom, continues to evolve and further potential impacts on our business in the future remain uncertain.
Significant Accounting Policies Used in Describing Results of Operations
Sale of Vacation Ownership Products
We recognize revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products (“VOIs”) when control of the vacation ownership product is transferred to the customer and the transaction price is deemed collectible. Based upon the different terms of the contracts with the customer and business practices, control of the vacation ownership product is transferred to the customer at closing for Marriott-branded and Legacy-Welk transactions and upon expiration of the statutory rescission period for Sheraton-,Westin-, and Hyatt-branded transactions. Sales of vacation ownership products may be made for cash or we may provide financing. In addition, we recognize settlement fees associated with the transfer of vacation ownership products and commission revenues from sales of vacation ownership products on behalf of third parties, which we refer to as “resales revenue.”
We also provide sales incentives to certain purchasers. These sales incentives typically include Marriott Bonvoy points, World of Hyatt points or an alternative sales incentive that we refer to as “plus points.” These plus points are redeemable for stays at our resorts or for use in other third-party offerings, generally up to two years from the date of issuance. Typically, sales incentives are only awarded if the sale is closed.
Finally, as more fully described in “Financing” below, we record the difference between the vacation ownership note receivable and the consideration to which we expect to be entitled (also known as a vacation ownership notes receivable reserve or a sales reserve) as a reduction of revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products at the time we recognize revenues from a sale.
We report, on a supplemental basis, contract sales for our Vacation Ownership segment. Contract sales consist of the total amount of vacation ownership product sales under contract signed during the period where we have generally received a down payment of at least 10% of the contract price, reduced by actual rescissions during the period, inclusive of contracts associated with sales of vacation ownership products on behalf of third-parties, which we refer to as “resales contract sales.” In circumstances where a customer applies any or all of their existing ownership interests as part of the purchase price for additional interests, we include only the incremental value purchased as contract sales. Contract sales differ from revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products that we report on our income statements due to the requirements for revenue
38
recognition described above. We consider contract sales to be an important operating measure because it reflects the pace of sales in our business.
Cost of vacation ownership products includes costs to develop and construct our projects (also known as real estate inventory costs), other non-capitalizable costs associated with the overall project development process and settlement expenses associated with the closing process. For each project, we expense real estate inventory costs in the same proportion as the revenue recognized. Consistent with the applicable accounting guidance, to the extent there is a change in the estimated sales revenues or inventory costs for the project in a period, a non-cash adjustment is recorded on our income statements to true-up costs in that period to those that would have been recorded historically if the revised estimates had been used. These true-ups, which we refer to as product cost true-up activity, can have a positive or negative impact on our income statements.
We refer to revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products less the cost of vacation ownership products and marketing and sales costs as Development profit. Development profit margin is calculated by dividing Development profit by revenues from the Sale of vacation ownership products.
Management and Exchange
Our management and exchange revenues include revenues generated from fees we earn for managing each of our vacation ownership resorts, providing property management, owners’ association management and related services to third-party vacation ownership resorts and fees we earn for providing rental services and related hotel, condominium resort, and owners’ association management services to vacation property owners.
In addition, we earn revenue from ancillary offerings, including food and beverage outlets, golf courses and other retail and service outlets located at our Vacation Ownership resorts. We also receive annual membership fees, club dues and certain transaction-based fees from members, owners and other third parties.
Management and exchange expenses include costs to operate the food and beverage outlets and other ancillary operations and to provide overall customer support services, including reservations, and certain transaction-based expenses relating to external exchange service providers.
In our Vacation Ownership segment and Consolidated Property Owners’ Associations, we refer to these activities as “Resort Management and Other Services.”
Financing
We offer financing to qualified customers for the purchase of most types of our vacation ownership products. The average FICO score of customers who were U.S. citizens or residents who financed a vacation ownership purchase was as follows:
Three Months Ended | |||||||||||
March 31, 2022 | March 31, 2021 | ||||||||||
Average FICO score | 736 | 732 |
The typical financing agreement provides for monthly payments of principal and interest with the principal balance of the loan fully amortizing over the term of the related vacation ownership note receivable, which is generally ten to fifteen years. Included within our vacation ownership notes receivable are originated vacation ownership notes receivable and vacation ownership notes receivable acquired in connection with the ILG Acquisition and the Welk Acquisition.
The interest income earned from our vacation ownership financing arrangements is earned on an accrual basis on the principal balance outstanding over the contractual life of the arrangement and is recorded as Financing revenues on our Income Statements. Financing revenues also include fees earned from servicing the existing vacation ownership notes receivable portfolio. The amount of interest income earned in a period depends on the amount of outstanding vacation ownership notes receivable, which is impacted positively by the origination of new vacation ownership notes receivable and negatively by principal collections. We calculate financing propensity as contract sales volume of financed contracts originated in the period divided by contract sales volume of all contracts originated in the period. We do not include resales contract sales in the financing propensity calculation. Financing propensity was 50% in the first quarter of 2022 and 46% in the first quarter of 2021; the higher financing propensity in the first quarter of 2022 is due to a higher percentage of sales during this period to first-time buyers, who tend to have a higher financing propensity. We expect to continue offering financing incentive programs in 2022. We also plan to shift back to the increased focus we placed pre-pandemic on sales to first-time buyers, who are more likely to finance their purchases, which should further increase propensity and increase interest income as new originations of vacation ownership notes receivable outpace the decline in principal of existing vacation ownership notes receivable.
39
Acquired vacation ownership notes receivable are accounted for using the purchased credit deteriorated assets provision of the current expected credit loss model. The estimates of the reserve for credit losses on the acquired vacation ownership notes receivable are based on default rates that are an output of our static pool analyses and estimated value of collateral securing the acquired vacation ownership notes receivable. See Footnote 6 “Vacation Ownership Notes Receivable” to our Financial Statements for further information regarding the accounting for acquired vacation ownership notes receivable.
In the event of a default, we generally have the right to foreclose on or revoke the underlying VOI. We return VOIs that we reacquire through foreclosure or revocation back to inventory. As discussed above, for originated vacation ownership notes receivable, we record a reserve at the time of sale and classify the reserve as a reduction to revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products on our Income Statements. Revisions to estimates of variable consideration from the sale of vacation ownership products impact the reserve on originated vacation ownership notes receivable and can increase or decrease revenues. In contrast, for acquired vacation ownership notes receivable, we record changes to the reserve, net of collateral value, as an adjustment to Financing expenses on our Income Statements.
Historical default rates, which represent defaults as a percentage of each year’s beginning gross vacation ownership notes receivable balance, were as follows:
Three Months Ended | |||||||||||
March 31, 2022 | March 31, 2021 | ||||||||||
Historical default rates | 1.1% | 1.3% |
The decrease in default rates in 2022 reflects the return of the performance of our notes receivable portfolio to pre-pandemic levels.
Financing expenses include consumer financing interest expense, which represents interest expense associated with the securitization of our vacation ownership notes receivable, costs to support the financing, servicing and securitization processes and changes in expected credit losses related to acquired vacation ownership notes receivable. We distinguish consumer financing interest expense from all other interest expense because the debt associated with the consumer financing interest expense is secured by vacation ownership notes receivable that have been sold to bankruptcy remote special purpose entities and is generally non-recourse to us.
Rental
In our Vacation Ownership segment, we operate a rental business to provide owner flexibility and to help mitigate carrying costs associated with our inventory. We generate revenue from rentals of inventory that we hold for sale as interests in our vacation ownership programs, inventory that we control because our owners have elected alternative usage options permitted under our vacation ownership programs and rentals of owned-hotel properties. We also recognize rental revenue from the utilization of plus points under our points-based products when the points are redeemed for rental stays at one of our resorts or in other third-party offerings, or upon expiration of the points. We obtain rental inventory from unsold inventory and inventory we control because owners have elected alternative usage options offered through our vacation ownership programs. For rental revenues associated with vacation ownership products which we own and which are registered and held for sale, to the extent that the revenues from rental are less than costs, revenues are reported net in accordance with ASC Topic 978, “Real Estate - Time-Sharing Activities” (“ASC 978”). The rental activity associated with discounted vacation packages requiring a tour (“preview stays”) is not included in transient rental metrics, and because the majority of these preview stays are sourced directly or indirectly from unsold inventory, the associated revenues and expenses are reported net in Marketing and sales expense.
In our Exchange & Third-Party Management segment, we offer vacation rental opportunities at managed properties. We also offer vacation rental opportunities known as Getaways to members of the Interval International network and certain other membership programs. Getaways allow us to monetize excess availability of resort accommodations within the applicable exchange network, as well as provide additional vacation opportunities to members. Resort accommodations typically become available as Getaways as a result of seasonal oversupply or underutilized space in the applicable exchange program. We also source resort accommodations specifically for the Getaways program.
40
Rental expenses include:
•Maintenance and other fees on unsold inventory;
•Costs to provide alternative usage options, including Marriott Bonvoy points, World of Hyatt points and offerings available as part of third-party offerings, for owners who elect to exchange their inventory;
•Marketing costs and direct operating and related expenses in connection with the rental business (such as housekeeping, labor costs, credit card expenses and reservation services); and
•Costs to secure resort accommodations for use in Getaways.
Rental metrics, including the average daily transient rate or the number of transient keys rented, may not be comparable between periods given fluctuation in available occupancy by location, unit size (such as two bedroom, one bedroom or studio unit), owner use and exchange behavior. In addition, rental metrics may not correlate with rental revenues due to the requirement to report certain rental revenues net of rental expenses in accordance with ASC 978 (as discussed above). Further, as our ability to rent certain luxury and other inventory is often limited on a site-by-site basis, rental operations may not generate adequate rental revenues to cover associated costs. Our Vacation Ownership segment units are either “full villas” or “lock-off” villas. Lock-off villas are units that can be separated into a master unit and a guest room. Full villas are “non-lock-off” villas because they cannot be separated. A “key” is the lowest increment for reporting occupancy statistics based upon the mix of non-lock-off and lock-off villas. Lock-off villas represent two keys and non-lock-off villas represent one key. The “transient keys” metric represents the blended mix of inventory available for rent and includes all of the combined inventory configurations available in our resort system.
Cost Reimbursements
Cost reimbursements include direct and indirect costs that are reimbursed to us by customers under management contracts. All costs reimbursed to us by customers, with the exception of taxes assessed by a governmental authority, are reported on a gross basis. We recognize cost reimbursements when we incur the related reimbursable costs. Cost reimbursements consist of actual expenses with no added margin.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists of all interest expense other than consumer financing interest expense, which is included within Financing expense.
Transaction and Integration Costs
Transaction and integration costs represent costs related to the ILG and Welk Acquisitions, primarily for financial advisory, legal, and other professional service fees, as well as certain tax related accruals. Transaction and integration costs also include charges for employee retention, severance and other termination related benefits, fees paid to change-management consultants and technology-related costs related to the integration of ILG and Welk.
Other Items
We measure operating performance using the following key metrics:
•Contract sales from the sale of vacation ownership products;
•Total contract sales include contract sales from the sale of vacation ownership products including joint ventures, and
•Consolidated contract sales exclude contract sales from the sale of vacation ownership products for non-consolidated joint ventures;
•Development profit margin;
•Volume per guest (“VPG”), which we calculate by dividing consolidated vacation ownership contract sales, excluding fractional sales, telesales, resales, joint venture sales and other sales that are not attributed to a tour at a sales location, by the number of tours at sales locations in a given period. We believe that this operating metric is valuable in evaluating the effectiveness of the sales process as it combines the impact of average contract price with the number of touring guests who make a purchase;
•Total active members, which is the number of Interval International network active members at the end of the applicable period; and
•Average revenue per member, which we calculate by dividing membership fee revenue, transaction revenue and other member revenue for the Interval International network by the monthly weighted average number of Interval International network active members during the applicable period.

Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA, a financial measure that is not prescribed by GAAP, is defined as earnings, or net income or loss attributable to common shareholders, before interest expense (excluding consumer financing interest expense associated with term loan securitization transactions), income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA reflects additional adjustments for certain items described below, and excludes share-based compensation expense to address considerable variability among companies in recording compensation expense because companies use share-based payment awards differently, both in the type and quantity of awards granted. For purposes of our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations, we do not adjust for consumer financing interest expense associated with term loan securitization transactions because we consider it to be an operating expense of our business. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance, which we use to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand our business. We also use Adjusted EBITDA, as do analysts, lenders, investors and others, because this measure excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA also exclude depreciation and amortization because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful as an indicator of operating performance because it allows for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of the excluded items. Adjusted EBITDA also facilitates comparison by us, analysts, investors, and others, of results from our on-going core operations before the impact of these items with results from other vacation companies.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do or may not calculate them at all, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. The table below shows our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculation and reconciles these measures with Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

The higher contract sales performance reflects the continued ramp-up of the business subsequent to the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as $24 million in contract sales relating to the Welk Acquisition, which we acquired in the second quarter of 2021. Higher settlement revenue, sales incentives issued, and sales reserve activity were driven primarily by the higher contract sales volumes as well as the Welk Acquisition.

Resort management and other services revenues reflects higher ancillary revenues, including revenues from food and beverage and golf offerings, as a result of the continued ramp-up of the business subsequent to the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, higher management fees, and $6 million of revenues from the Welk Acquisition. Resort occupancies continued to increase since the initial impact of the pandemic as travel and tourism trends continue to recover. We expect this trend in business improvement to continue throughout 2022.
The increase in resort management and other services profit reflects the higher ancillary expenses as a result of the higher ancillary revenues mentioned above.

_________________________
(1)Transient keys rented exclude those occupied through the use of plus points and preview stays.
The improvement in rental profit resulted from an increase in transient keys rented and a higher average transient rate due to the continued ramp-up of the business subsequent to the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as COVID-19-related restrictions continued to ease, as well as from higher plus point revenue. These increases were partially offset by higher inventory carrying costs (due to low sales volumes in 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the acquisition of new inventory in 2021, and higher utilization in 2022 of third-party vacation offerings for owners who elect to exchange the usage of their inventory).
As the majority of the governmental restrictions in response to the pandemic that caused rental activity to decline, such as travel restrictions and quarantine requirements, have been lifted, we expect rental occupancies to continue to remain strong throughout the remainder of 2022. However, we do not expect this part of our business to fully recover to pre-pandemic levels in 2022 as a result of reduced rental inventory availability due to higher owner usage as well as higher inventory carry costs.

Financing profit | $ | 50 | $ | 38 | $ | 12 | 31% | ||||||||||||||||
Financing propensity | 50.3% | 46.0% |
Financing revenues increased due primarily to the Welk Acquisition, which contributed $10 million in the first quarter of 2022. Excluding the impact of the Welk Acquisition, financing revenues increased $2 million due mainly to lower plus point financing incentive costs year-over-year. New loan originations are beginning to offset the continued pay-down of the existing vacation ownership notes receivable portfolio, such that interest income is relatively flat compared to the prior year quarter. As contract sales volumes continue to grow, we expect that the growth from new loan originations will more than offset the normal decline in the existing vacation ownership notes receivable portfolio due to loan payment activity, and cause interest income to increase. Financing expenses increased due to the Welk Acquisition and increased foreclosure costs, offset partially by the timing of when lien fee income is recognized. The higher financing propensity reflects a higher mix of sales to first-time buyers, who tend to have a higher financing propensity. As we move through 2022, we expect to continue to increase our focus on sales to first-time buyers, which should further increase financing propensity.

The increase in management and exchange revenue and profit reflects higher management fees at Aqua-Aston managed properties due to the continued ramp-up of the business in Hawaii subsequent to the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. For Interval International, average revenue per member decreased 6% over the prior year comparable period. This decline was due in part to new, recently added affiliations for which we expect any exchange activity to take time to ramp-up as many of the new members have already booked near term travel plans.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Typically, our capital needs are supported by cash on hand ($0.4 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2022), cash generated from operations, our ability to raise capital through securitizations in the asset-backed securities market, our ability to issue new, and refinance existing, debt and, to the extent necessary, our ability to access funds under the Warehouse Credit Facility and the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility. We believe these sources of capital will be adequate to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, finance our long-term growth plans, satisfy debt service requirements, fulfill other cash requirements, and return capital to shareholders.
During the first quarter of 2022, we entered into an amendment to the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility (the “Amendment”), which increased the borrowing capacity of the existing revolving credit facility from $600 million to $750 million and extended the maturity date from August 31, 2023 to March 31, 2027.
At March 31, 2022, we had $4.6 billion of total gross debt outstanding, which included $1.8 billion of non-recourse debt associated with vacation ownership notes receivable securitizations, $1.1 billion of senior notes, $0.8 billion of convertible notes, $0.8 billion of debt under our Corporate Credit Facility, $84 million related to finance lease obligations, and $11 million related to a non-interest bearing note payable.
At March 31, 2022, we had $684 million of completed real estate inventory on hand. In addition, we had $496 million of completed vacation ownership units that have been classified as a component of Property and equipment until the time at which they are legally registered and available for sale as vacation ownership products.
Our material cash requirements from known contractual or other obligations were $6 billion as of March 31, 2022, of which we expect $748 million to be payable during 2022. These obligations primarily relate to our debt, securitized debt and purchase obligations. Please see “Material Cash Requirements” below for additional information.

Cash from Operating Activities
Our primary sources of funds from operations are (1) cash sales and down payments on financed sales, (2) cash from our financing operations, including principal and interest payments received on outstanding vacation ownership notes receivable, (3) cash from fee-based membership, exchange and rental transactions and (4) net cash generated from our rental and resort management and other services operations. Outflows include spending for the development of new phases of existing resorts, the acquisition of additional inventory, enhancement of our inventory exchange network of resorts and related technology infrastructure and funding our working capital needs.
We minimize our working capital needs through cash management, strict credit-granting policies and disciplined collection efforts. Our working capital needs fluctuate throughout the year given the timing of annual maintenance fees on unsold inventory we pay to owners’ associations and certain annual compensation-related outflows. In addition, our cash from operations varies due to the timing of repayment by owners of vacation ownership notes receivable, the closing or recording of sales contracts for vacation ownership products, financing propensity, and cash outlays for inventory acquisition and development.
52
Excluding the impact of changes in net income or loss and adjustments for non-cash items, the change in cash flows from operations increased as a result of lower inventory spending, higher operational expense accruals, higher sales and rental deposits due to the continued ramp-up of the business, and higher collections of vacation ownership notes receivable, partially offset by timing of certain employee benefit payments.
In addition to net income or loss and adjustments for non-cash items, the following operating activities are key drivers of our cash flow from operating activities:

Inventory spending less than (in excess of) cost of sales | $ | 16 | $ | (125) |
While we have significant inventory on hand, we will continue to selectively pursue growth opportunities in North America and Asia Pacific by targeting high-quality inventory that allows us to add desirable new destinations to our system with new on-site sales locations through transactions that limit our up-front capital investment and allow us to purchase finished inventory closer to the time it is needed for sale. These capital efficient vacation ownership deal structures may consist of the development of new inventory, or the conversion of previously built units by third parties, just prior to sale.
Our spending for real estate inventory in the first quarter of 2022 was lower than real estate inventory costs due to our strategy to minimize spending because we have a significant amount of inventory on hand.
Through our existing vacation ownership interest repurchase program, we proactively buy back previously sold vacation ownership interests at lower costs than would be required to develop new inventory. By repurchasing inventory, we expect to be able to help stabilize the future cost of vacation ownership products.

Vacation ownership notes receivable collections increased during the first quarter of 2022, as compared to the first quarter of 2021, due to an increase in the portfolio of outstanding vacation ownership notes receivable. Vacation ownership notes receivable originations in the first quarter of 2022 increased, as compared to the first quarter of 2021, due to higher sales combined with a higher financing propensity. Financing propensity increased to 50% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 46% for the first quarter of 2021, reflecting a higher mix of sales to first-time buyers, who tend to have a higher financing propensity.

Cash from Financing Activities
Borrowings from / Repayment of Debt Related to Securitization Transactions
During the first quarter of 2022, we securitized vacation ownership notes receivable under our Warehouse Credit Facility. The carrying amount of the vacation ownership notes receivable securitized was $125 million. The average advance rate was 81%, which resulted in gross proceeds of $102 million. Net proceeds were $101 million due to the funding of reserve accounts of $1 million.
As of March 31, 2022, $120 million of gross vacation ownership notes receivable were eligible for securitization.
Proceeds from / Repayments of Debt
Borrowings from / Repayment of Corporate Credit Facility
Our Corporate Credit Facility includes the Term Loan and our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility, which is further discussed in Footnote 13 “Debt” to our Financial Statements. No principal payments were made on our Term Loan during the first quarter of 2022. During the first quarter of 2022, we borrowed $30 million under our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility, all of which was repaid prior to the end of the quarter. There were no borrowed amounts outstanding under our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility as of March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, we had $2 million of letters of credit outstanding under our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility.
During the first quarter of 2021, we repaid $100 million of the amount outstanding under the Term Loan. We had no borrowings or repayments under our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility during the first quarter of 2021.
Finance Lease Payment
During the first quarter of 2022, we paid $2 million related to our finance lease obligations for technology and business operations equipment.
Debt Issuance Costs
During the first quarter of 2022, we paid $4 million of debt issuance costs associated with an amendment to the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility, which is further discussed in Footnote 13 “Debt” to our Financial Statements.
During the first quarter of 2021, we paid $2 million of debt issuance costs, which included $1 million associated with the 2026 Convertible Notes and $1 million associated with the extension of the Waiver which suspended certain requirements under the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility.

See Footnote 14 “Shareholders' Equity” to our Financial Statements for further information related to our share repurchase program, including the additional share repurchase authorization approved by our Board of Directors during the first quarter of 2022.
Dividends
We distributed cash dividends to holders of our common stock during the first quarter of 2022 as follows:
Declaration Date | Shareholder Record Date | Distribution Date | Dividend per Share | |||||||||||||||||
December 9, 2021 | December 23, 2021 | January 6, 2022 | $0.54 | |||||||||||||||||
February 18, 2022 | March 3, 2022 | March 17, 2022 | $0.62 |
We currently expect to pay quarterly dividends in the future, but any future dividend payments will be subject to Board approval, which will depend on our financial condition, results of operations and capital requirements, as well as applicable law, regulatory constraints, industry practice, and other business considerations that our Board of Directors
54
considers relevant. In addition, our Corporate Credit Facility and the indentures governing our senior notes contain restrictions on our ability to pay dividends, and the terms of agreements governing debt that we may incur in the future may also limit or prohibit the payment of dividends. The payment of certain cash dividends may also result in an adjustment to the conversion rate of our convertible notes in a manner adverse to us. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will pay dividends in the future at any particular rate or at all.

(1)Includes principal as well as interest payments and excludes unamortized debt discount and issuance costs.
(2)Payments based on estimated timing of cash flow associated with securitized notes receivable.
(3)Arrangements are considered purchase obligations if a contract specifies all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, a pricing structure, and approximate timing of the transaction. Amounts reflected herein represent expected funding under such contracts. Amounts reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as accounts payable and accrued liabilities are excluded from the table above.
(4)Includes interest.
(5)Primarily relates to our commitment to an owners’ association that we manage, to pay for any shortfall between the actual expenses incurred by the owners’ association and the income received by the owners’ association, in lieu of maintenance fees, of $10 million.
In the normal course of our resort management business, we enter into purchase commitments on behalf of owners’ associations to manage the daily operating needs of our resorts. Since we are reimbursed for these commitments from the cash flows of the resorts, these obligations have minimal impact on our net income and cash flow. These purchase commitments are excluded from the table above.
Leases That Have Not Yet Commenced
During 2020, we entered into a finance lease arrangement, that was amended in 2021, for our new global headquarters office building, which is being constructed in Orlando, Florida. The new Orlando corporate office building is currently expected to be completed in 2023, at which time the lease term will commence and a right-of-use asset and corresponding liability will be recorded on our balance sheet. The initial lease term is approximately 16 years with total lease payments of $137 million for the aforementioned period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Footnote 2 “Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards” to our Financial Statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements, including information on new accounting standards and the future adoption of such standards.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We have discussed those policies and estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Since the date of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially from that disclosed in Part I, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), and management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance about management’s control objectives. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. However, the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and we cannot assure you that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Based upon the foregoing evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and operating to provide reasonable assurance that we record, process, summarize and report the information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and to provide reasonable assurance that we accumulate and communicate such information to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions about required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We made no 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 Welk Acquisition.
Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Currently, and from time to time, we are subject to claims in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business, including, among others, the legal actions discussed under “Loss Contingencies” in Footnote 11 “Contingencies and Commitments” to our Financial Statements. While management presently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm our financial position, cash flows, or overall trends in results of operations, legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and unfavorable rulings could, individually or in aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened, and in some cases, manifested, certain of the risks we normally face in our business, including those disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report. There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report”).
