2023 Compared to 2022
Excluding the $12 million decrease attributed to the disposition of our VRI Americas business during the second quarter of 2022, management and exchange revenue decreased $8 million or 4%. Interval International management and exchange revenues declined $5 million or 3%, primarily attributed to lower transaction volume and lower membership revenues due to the continued shift in mix to corporate members, which have a lower propensity to transact than our traditional members. Exchange transaction volume declined 5% and average revenue per member decreased 1% compared to the prior year. Aqua-Aston management revenue declined $3 million due to higher property level expenses, which adversely impacted management fees, and a reduction in the number of units managed at a property in Maui.
Excluding the impact of the disposition of VRI Americas, management and exchange profit decreased by $14 million or 14% from the prior year, primarily attributed to higher information technology costs, marketing and sales costs and higher wages and benefits and lower revenues.

2023 Compared to 2022
The change in our income tax expense is attributable to lower income before income taxes and noncontrolling interests ($49 million) and benefits from state tax rate changes and certain other foreign and permanent differences which were favorable to prior periods ($62 million). These decreases were partially offset by increases in uncertain tax benefits and changes in our valuation allowance ($66 million) of which $22 million is to be indemnified pursuant to a Tax Matters
63


Agreement dated May 11, 2016 by and among Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., Vistana Signature Experiences, Inc., and Interval Leisure Group, Inc. and we have recorded a corresponding indemnification asset as a component of Gains (losses) and other income (expense), net on our Income Statements.
Refer to Footnote 5 “Income Taxes” for additional information.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has proposed a global minimum tax of 15% of reported profits (Pillar 2) that has been agreed upon in principle by over 140 non-U.S. countries. During 2023, many countries took steps to incorporate Pillar 2 model rule concepts into their domestic laws. Although the model rules provide a framework for applying the minimum tax, countries may enact Pillar 2 slightly differently than the model rules and/or on different timelines. While we continue to monitor legislative developments, we do not anticipate Pillar 2 will have a material impact on our long-term financial position.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Typically, our capital needs are supported by cash on hand, cash generated from operations, our ability to access funds under the Warehouse Credit Facility and the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility, our ability to raise capital through securitizations in the ABS market, and, to the extent necessary, our ability to issue new debt and refinance existing debt. 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 stockholders. We continuously monitor the capital markets to evaluate the effect that changes in market conditions may have on our ability to fund our liquidity needs.
At December 31, 2023, our corporate debt, net of cash and equivalents, to Adjusted EBITDA ratio was 3.7, above our targeted range of 2.5 to 3.0. We have no material maturities of corporate debt until the third quarter of 2025.
As of December 31, 2023, the interest rate applicable to approximately 80% of our total corporate debt, excluding finance leases and including the impact of interest rate hedges, was effectively fixed. The weighted average interest rate of our total corporate debt, excluding finance leases and including the impact of interest rate hedges, was 3.9% as of December 31, 2023. Approximately 70% of our corporate debt will be fixed once our interest rate hedges mature in April 2024.
Sources of Liquidity
Cash from Operations
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.
Vacation Ownership Notes Receivable Securitizations
We periodically securitize, without recourse, through bankruptcy remote special purpose entities, the majority of the notes receivable originated in connection with the sale of vacation ownership products to institutional investors in the ABS term securitization market. These vacation ownership notes receivable securitizations provide liquidity for general corporate purposes. In a vacation ownership notes receivable term securitization, several classes of debt securities issued by a special purpose entity are generally collateralized by a single pool of transferred assets, which consist of vacation ownership notes receivable. In connection with each vacation ownership notes receivable securitization, we may retain all or a portion of the securities that are issued. Typically, we receive cash at inception of the term securitization transaction for the amount of notes issued less fees and monies held in reserve and we receive cash during the life of the transaction in amounts reflecting the excess spread of interest received on the related vacation ownership notes receivable less the interest payable on the ABS securities, less administrative fees and amounts from related vacation ownership notes receivable that default. We completed two term securitization transactions in 2023 resulting in net proceeds of $806 million.
Each of the securitized vacation ownership notes receivable transactions contains various triggers relating to the performance of the underlying vacation ownership notes receivable. If a pool of securitized vacation ownership notes receivable fails to perform within the pool’s parameters (default or delinquency thresholds vary by transaction), transaction provisions effectively redirect the monthly excess spread of interest accruing on the related vacation ownership notes receivable less the interest accruing on the ABS securities and fees we would otherwise receive from
64


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 2023, and as of December 31, 2023, we had 14 term securitization transactions outstanding, all of which were in compliance with their respective required parameters. Since 2000, we have issued approximately $8.9 billion of debt securities in securitization transactions in the term ABS market, excluding amounts securitized through warehouse credit facilities or private bank transactions.
On an ongoing basis, we have the ability to use our Warehouse Credit Facility to securitize, on a revolving non-recourse basis, eligible consumer loans derived from certain vacation ownership sales. Those loans may later be transferred to term securitization transactions in the ABS market, which typically occur twice a year. During 2023, we amended certain agreements associated with our Warehouse Credit Facility, which increased the borrowing capacity from $425 million to $500 million and extended the revolving period from July 28, 2024 to May 31, 2025. At December 31, 2023, we had $150 million of borrowings outstanding on our Warehouse Credit Facility.
As of December 31, 2023, $60 million of gross vacation ownership notes receivable were eligible for securitization. See Footnote 15 “Securitized Debt’ and Footnote 19 “Variable Interest Entities” for further information on these facilities.
Revolving Corporate Credit Facility
Our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility, which expires on March 31, 2027, provides for up to $750 million of aggregate borrowings for general corporate needs, including working capital, capital expenditures, letters of credit, and acquisitions. At December 31, 2023, $105 million of borrowings were outstanding on our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility and $24 million of letters of credit were outstanding. See Footnote 16 “Debt” to our Financial Statements for more information on interest rates pertaining to this facility.
Redemption of Senior Secured Notes
During 2023, we redeemed, prior to maturity, the remaining $250 million of the 2025 Notes outstanding pursuant to a redemption notice issued in 2022. In connection with this redemption, we incurred charges of $10 million, including a redemption premium and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, which were recorded in Gains (losses) and other income (expense), net on our Income Statement for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Uses of Cash
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 acquisitions and development.
Seasonality
Our cash flow from operations fluctuates during the year due to the timing of certain receipts and contractual and compensation-related payments. Significant changes in cash flow can result from the timing of our collection of maintenance fees, club dues, and other customer payments, which typically occurs in either the fourth quarter or the first quarter of each year. Generally, cash outflows related to our payment of maintenance fees associated with unsold inventory occurs in the fourth quarter for our points-based products, and in the first quarter for our weeks-based products. In addition, during the first quarter of each year, we generally have significant variable compensation-related cash outflows associated with payment of annual bonuses.

Operations
In addition to net income and adjustments for non-cash items, the following are key drivers of our cash flow from operating activities:
Inventory Spending Less Than (In Excess of) Cost of Sales

Purchase of property for future transfer to inventory(27)(12)(98)
Inventory costs176 242 212 
Inventory spending less than (in excess of) cost of sales$60 $92 $(39)
Although we have significant inventory on hand, we intend to continue selectively pursuing growth opportunities by targeting high-quality inventory that allows us to add desirable new destinations to our systems with new on-site sales locations. Where possible, we will structure transactions to 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 transaction structures may consist of the development of new inventory, or the conversion of previously built units, by third parties. In addition, we may develop inventory on balance sheet in key markets where we believe the opportunities will generate acceptable risk adjusted returns.
Through our existing VOI repurchase program, we proactively acquire previously sold VOIs from owners’ associations and individual owners at lower costs than would be required to develop new inventory. Among other reasons for repurchasing inventory, we expect these repurchases will stabilize the future cost of our vacation ownership products.
Our spending for real estate inventory in 2023 was lower than our cost of sales and was primarily related to our purchases under our VOI repurchase programs. Purchase of property for future transfer to inventory included the acquisition of property in Savannah, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina in 2023. We expect inventory spending to again be less than cost of sales for 2024.

Payment of Dividends to Common Stockholders
We distributed cash dividends to holders of common stock during the year ended December 31, 2023 as follows:

September 7, 2023September 21, 2023October 5, 2023$0.72
On December 7, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.76 per share that was paid subsequent to the end of 2023, on January 4, 2024, to stockholders of record as of December 21, 2023.
Subsequent to the end of 2023, on February 15, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.76 per share to be paid on March 14, 2024 to stockholders of record as of February 29, 2024.
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 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.

See Footnote 14 “Leases” to our Financial Statements for additional information on this lease.
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 owners’ associations, these obligations have minimal impact on our net income and cash flow. These purchase commitments are excluded from the table above.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Footnote 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our Financial Statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements, including information about new accounting standards and the future adoption of such standards.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) it requires assumptions to be made that are uncertain at the time the estimate is made; and (2) changes in the estimate, or different estimates that could have been selected, could have a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
While we believe that our estimates, assumptions, and judgments are reasonable, they are based on information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly. Additionally, changes in our assumptions, estimates or assessments as a result of unforeseen events or otherwise could have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
See Footnote 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our Financial Statements for further information related to our critical accounting policies and estimates, which are as follows:
Revenue recognition, including how we recognize revenue under ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” for the sale of vacation ownership products, including our estimates of variable consideration. 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 revenue. See Footnote 6 “Vacation Ownership Notes Receivable” to our Financial Statements for further information on our assessments of our originated vacation ownership notes receivable reserve.
Inventories and cost of vacation ownership products, which requires estimation of future revenues and product costs to apply a relative sales value method specific to the vacation ownership industry and how we evaluate the fair value of our vacation ownership inventory.
Valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, including how we determine the fair value of goodwill and our other intangible assets and reporting units, and how we determine when an impairment loss should be recorded. During the fourth quarter of 2023, we conducted our annual goodwill impairment test and did not record any impairment charges. The estimated fair values of our reporting units exceeded their carrying amounts at the date of their most recent estimated fair value determination. During 2023, we evaluated our other intangible assets for impairment and did not record any impairment charges.
Accounting for acquired vacation ownership notes receivable, where estimates of future cash flows are based largely on the customer class and the results of our static pool analysis. In addition, the valuation of acquired vacation ownership notes receivable includes a material estimate of the fair value of the underlying collateral which would be retained in the event of customer default. See further discussion included in Footnote 6 “Vacation Ownership Notes Receivable” to our Financial Statements.
Loss contingencies, including information on how we account for loss contingencies. Accruals for contingent liabilities are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, or an asset impaired, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities accrued for legal matters require judgments regarding projected outcomes and range of loss based on historical litigation and settlement experience, recommendations of legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts.
Income taxes, including the accounting related to uncertain tax positions and the determination of valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets. The recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions involves consideration of the amounts and probabilities of various outcomes that could be realized upon ultimate resolution. Tax valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets, such as tax loss carryforwards, to net realizable value. Factors considered in estimating net realizable value include historical results by tax jurisdiction, carryforward periods, income tax strategies and forecasted taxable income.

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, and debt prices. We manage our exposure to these risks by monitoring available financing alternatives, through pricing policies that may take into account currency exchange rates, and by entering into derivative arrangements.
We are exposed to interest rate risk through borrowings on our Warehouse Credit Facility and our Corporate Credit Facility, which includes our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility and our Term Loan, as these facilities bear interest at variable rates. All other interest bearing debt, including securitized debt, incurs interest at fixed rates. Changes in interest rates also impact the fair value of our fixed-rate vacation ownership notes receivable and our fixed-rate debt.
We manage the interest rate risk on our corporate debt through the use of a combination of fixed-rate debt and interest rate swaps (certain of which expired in September 2023 and the remaining outstanding interest rate swaps will expire in April 2024) that fix a portion of our variable-rate debt. At December 31, 2023, after considering the impact of interest rate swap agreements and excluding finance leases, the interest rate applicable to approximately 80% of our corporate debt was effectively fixed and the interest rate applicable to the remaining 20% (approximately $589 million) was variable. Assuming no outstanding balance on our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility, a 100 basis point increase in the underlying benchmark rate on our variable-rate debt at December 31, 2023 would result in an increase of approximately $5 million in annual cash interest due to the impact of our hedging arrangements discussed in Footnote 16 “Debt” to our Financial Statements. Assuming we had no outstanding hedging arrangements and no outstanding balance on our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility, a 100 basis point increase in the underlying benchmark rate on our variable-rate debt at December 31, 2023 would result in an annual increase in cash interest of approximately $8 million.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management of Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance on the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the Company’s transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance on prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In connection with the preparation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, management has undertaken an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the “COSO criteria”).
Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, applying the COSO criteria, as of December 31, 2023, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance of the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this report, has issued a report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, a copy of which appears on the next page of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 27, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Cost of Vacation Ownership Products
Description of the Matter
The Company’s cost of vacation ownership products was $224 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company accounts for the cost of vacation ownership products utilizing the relative sales value method in accordance with the authoritative guidance for accounting for real estate time-sharing transactions. Changes in estimates used in applying the relative sales value method are recognized in the period that the changes occur.
Auditing the Company’s application of the relative sales value method was challenging due to the nature and extent of audit effort required as the calculations are complex and contain a significant volume of data. Additionally, the determination of the cost of vacation ownership products was sensitive to the selection and application of assumptions used in estimating future revenues from sale of vacation ownership products which are affected by expectations about future market and economic conditions.
74


Cost of Vacation Ownership Products
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s process to determine the cost of vacation ownership products. For example, we tested controls over management’s review of the calculations, including the inputs and certain estimates, such as estimated future revenue from sale of vacation ownership products.
To test the cost of vacation ownership products, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing the methodologies used, evaluating the estimates discussed above and testing the completeness and accuracy of the data used by the Company in the calculations. For example, we agreed inputs to the calculations to historical data and source documentation and evaluated the estimates used in the calculations, such as estimated future revenue from sale of vacation ownership products, utilizing historical operating results. We involved real estate subject matter resources on our team because the application of the relative sales value method is unique to companies in the real estate time-sharing industry.
Valuation of Originated and Acquired Vacation Ownership Notes Receivable
Description of the Matter
As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s vacation ownership notes receivable was $2,343 million, of which $2,178 million related to originated vacation ownership notes receivable and $165 million related to acquired vacation ownership notes receivable. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, for originated notes, the Company records the difference between the vacation ownership note receivable and variable consideration included in the transaction price for the sale of the related vacation ownership products as a reserve on the Company’s originated vacation ownership notes receivable. The Company’s acquired vacation ownership notes receivable are accounted for using the purchased credit deteriorated assets provision of the current expected credit loss model, whereby the Company estimates the reserve of its acquired vacation ownership receivables on a quarterly basis and any changes in the reserve are recorded as financing expense. The estimates of the variable consideration for originated vacation ownership notes receivable and the reserve for credit losses on the acquired vacation ownership notes receivable are based on default rates that are an output of the Company’s static pool analyses and the estimates regarding future defaults.
Auditing the Company’s valuation of originated and acquired vacation ownership notes receivable was challenging due to the nature and extent of audit effort required to test the static pool analyses, which are complex and contain a significant volume of data. Furthermore, the valuation of originated and acquired vacation ownership notes receivable was sensitive to management’s assumptions regarding future default rates.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s vacation ownership notes receivable process. For example, we tested controls over management’s review of the static pool analyses, including the significant inputs to the analyses, and review of the assumption regarding future default rates.
To test the valuation of originated and acquired vacation ownership notes receivable, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing the methodology used, evaluating the assumptions regarding future default rates as discussed above, and testing the completeness and accuracy of the static pool analyses, including the significant inputs to the analyses. For example, we agreed inputs to the static pool analyses to historical data and source documentation. We also compared the assumptions regarding future defaults to the Company’s historical and current default rates and performed a retrospective review of the defaults projected from the analyses. We involved real estate subject matter resources on our team because the static pool analyses are unique to companies in the real estate time-sharing industry.

In 2023, the change in our valuation allowance is primarily related to certain existing non-U.S. loss carryforwards where future sources of income are no longer available for realization of the losses.
We have $ million in foreign capital loss carryforwards and $ million of foreign net operating loss carryforwards, some of which begin expiring in 2024; however, a significant portion of the net operating loss carryforwards have indefinite carryforward periods. We have $ million of state net operating loss carryforwards, the majority of which will not expire within the next five years. We have U.S. federal foreign tax credit carryforwards of $ million and $ million of state tax credit carryforwards.
We continue to treat the undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries as permanently reinvested. No taxes have been accrued with respect to these undistributed earnings or any outside basis differences. Distribution of profits from foreign subsidiaries is not expected to cause a significant incremental U.S. tax impact in the future; an estimate of the U.S. tax impact is not practicable to determine.

The increase in the unrecognized tax benefits during 2023 is primarily related to $ million for a proposed tax method change for pre-acquisition Welk. Unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest and penalties) of $ million would impact the effective tax rate if recognized.
The total amount of gross interest and penalties accrued relating to unrecognized tax benefits was $ million at December 31, 2023 and $ million at December 31, 2022, which is predominantly attributable to non-U.S. jurisdictions.
We anticipate $ million of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, will 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 2020. The amount of the unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease within the next twelve months as a result of audits or audit settlements.

million. We primarily used a historical period of increased defaults as a basis for estimating the increase in our reserve. This additional reserve adjusted our future default rate estimate, which reflected then-current macroeconomic conditions, including inflation outpacing wage growth, continuing high interest rates, mixed economic indicators and increased global insecurity.
In the third quarter of 2022, in connection with the combination and alignment of the reserves for the Marriott-, Sheraton-, and Westin-brands (see Footnote 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”), we recorded a reversal of credit loss expense for our acquired vacation ownership notes receivable of $ million, which was recorded in Financing expenses on our Income Statement for the year ended December 31, 2022, and an increase in the reserve for our originated vacation ownership notes receivable of $ million, which was recorded as a reduction of Sale of vacation ownership products and partially offset by a corresponding $ million increase in Cost of vacation ownership products on our Income Statement for the year ended December 31, 2022.
In 2020, we increased our vacation ownership notes receivable reserves by $ million as a result of higher actual and projected default activity which was predominantly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At that time, we allocated $ million of the reserve to our originated vacation ownership notes receivable reserve (recorded as a reduction of Sale of vacation ownership products), $ million to our acquired vacation ownership notes receivable reserve (recorded as an increase in Financing expenses), and a corresponding $ million reduction in Cost of vacation ownership products on our Income Statement for the year ended December 31, 2020. Given the uncertainty as to which vacation ownership notes receivable (originated or acquired) would default, from 2020 through the second quarter of 2022, we assessed the sufficiency of our reserves for all vacation ownership notes receivable in total. There were additional adjustments to our vacation ownership notes receivables reserves due to the COVID-19 pandemic during either 2021 or 2022.
Credit Quality Indicators - Vacation Ownership Notes Receivable
We use the origination of vacation ownership notes receivable and the FICO scores of the customer by brand as the primary credit quality indicators, as historical performance indicates that there is a relationship between the default behavior of borrowers by FICO score and the brand associated with the VOI they have acquired.
The weighted average FICO score within our consolidated vacation ownership notes receivable pool was and at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, based upon the FICO score of the borrower at the time of origination.

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

million of 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.
Term Loan
We estimate the fair value of our Term Loan (as defined in Footnote 16 “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.
Revolving Corporate Credit Facility
We estimate that the gross carrying value of our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility (as defined in Footnote 16 “Debt”) approximates fair value as the contractual interest rate is variable plus an applicable margin. We concluded that this fair value measurement should be categorized within Level 3.

We performed our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 2023 and prepared a quantitative assessment for both the Vacation Ownership and the Exchange & Third-Party Management reporting units. For each reporting unit, the fair value of the reporting unit was in excess of the carrying value and therefore we concluded there was impairment.

In addition, as of December 31, 2023, we had $ million in letters of credit outstanding related to and in lieu of reserves required for several vacation ownership notes receivable securitization transactions outstanding, which were 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 we either retain the balance of the rental revenue (if any) as our fee or we make up the deficit if the owners have not received their guaranteed amounts. At December 31, 2023, our maximum exposure under fixed dollar guarantees was $ million, of which $ million, $ million, $ million, $ million and less than $ million relate to 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028, 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 our payment of maintenance fees for unsold inventory. The agreement will terminate on the earlier of: 1) sale of % of the total ownership interests in the owners’ association; or 2) written notification of termination by either party. At December 31, 2023, our expected commitment for 2024 is $ million, which will ultimately be recorded as a component of rental expense on our income statement.

(such claim, the “Remaining Claim”), with respect to which the plaintiff was granted leave to amend its complaint. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint with respect to the Remaining Claim and appealed the dismissal of the other claims. In June 2023, the appellate court upheld the dismissal of those claims. Plaintiff filed a motion for reconsideration of that appellate ruling, and in October 2023, the appellate court denied that motion. In November 2022, the Court granted our motion to dismiss the amended complaint with respect to the Remaining Claim and again granted plaintiff leave to amend its complaint. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint with respect to the Remaining Claim and again appealed the dismissal of the other claims. In January 2024, the appellate court upheld the dismissal of the other claims. In September 2023, the Court granted our motion to dismiss the amended complaint with respect to the Remaining Claim and denied plaintiff permission to file any additional amended complaints. Plaintiff has appealed that dismissal. We believe we have meritorious defenses to the claims in this matter and intend to vigorously defend against them.
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 the pending matter described above and we cannot estimate a range of the potential liability associated with this pending matter, 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, where required, 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.

securitized vacation ownership notes receivable pools outstanding, 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.
During the second quarter of 2023, we securitized a pool of $ million of vacation ownership notes receivable. In connection with the securitization, $ million in vacation ownership loan backed notes were issued by MVW 2023-1 LLC (the “2023-1 LLC”) in a private placement. classes of vacation ownership loan backed notes were issued by the 2023-1 LLC: $ million of Class A Notes, $ million of Class B Notes, $ million of Class C Notes, and $ million of Class D Notes. The Class A Notes have an interest rate of %, the Class B Notes have an interest rate of %, the Class C Notes have an interest rate of %, and the Class D Notes have an interest rate of %. Investors purchased $ million of the vacation ownership loan backed notes issued by the 2023-1 LLC, composed of the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, and a portion of the Class D Notes, of which we retained $ million. Proceeds from the transaction, net of fees and a reserve, were used to repay the outstanding obligations on our warehouse credit facility (as defined below) and for other general corporate purposes. The Class D notes that we retained were subsequently sold at par during the second quarter of 2023.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, we securitized a pool of $ million of vacation ownership notes receivable. In connection with the securitization, $ million in vacation ownership loan backed notes were issued by MVW 2023-2 LLC (the “2023-2 LLC”) in a private placement. classes of vacation ownership loan backed notes were issued by the 2023-2 LLC: $ million of Class A Notes, $ million of Class B Notes, $ million of Class C Notes, and $ million of Class D Notes. The Class A Notes have an interest rate of %, the Class B Notes have an interest rate of %, the Class C Notes have an interest rate of %, and the Class D Notes have an interest rate of %, for an overall weighted average interest rate of %. Proceeds from the transaction, net of fees and a reserve, were used to repay the outstanding obligations on our warehouse credit facility (as defined below) and for other general corporate purposes.
Warehouse Credit Facility
Our warehouse credit facility (the “Warehouse Credit Facility”) allows for the securitization of vacation ownership notes receivable on a revolving non-recourse basis. If not renewed prior to termination, any amounts outstanding under the Warehouse Credit Facility would become due and payable months after termination, at which time all principal and interest collected with respect to the vacation ownership notes receivable held in the Warehouse Credit Facility would be redirected to the lenders to pay down the outstanding debt under the facility. The interest rate applicable to most borrowings under the Warehouse Credit Facility is based on a U.S. Treasury overnight financing rate (Secured Overnight Financing Rate or “SOFR”) plus a % adjustment (“Adjusted SOFR”). The credit spread for the Warehouse Credit Facility is basis points over Adjusted SOFR. The advance rate for vacation ownership notes receivable securitized using the Warehouse Credit Facility varies based on the characteristics of the securitized vacation ownership notes receivable. We also pay unused facility and other fees under the Warehouse Credit Facility. We generally expect to securitize our vacation ownership notes receivable, including any vacation ownership notes receivable held in the Warehouse Credit Facility, in the ABS market typically twice a year.
During the second quarter of 2023, we amended certain agreements associated with our Warehouse Credit Facility (the “Warehouse Amendment”). The Warehouse Amendment increased the borrowing capacity of the existing facility from $ million to $ million and extended the revolving period from July 28, 2024 to May 31, 2025. The Warehouse Amendment made no other material changes to the Warehouse Credit Facility.

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 $ million term loan facility (the “Term Loan”), which matures on August 31, 2025, and a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $ million (the “Revolving Corporate Credit Facility”), which includes a letter of credit sub-facility of $ million, that terminates on March 31, 2027.
During the second quarter of 2023, we entered into an amendment to the Corporate Credit Facility (the “Amendment”), which modified the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Term Loan. Beginning July 31, 2023, the Term Loan references SOFR and is based on “Adjusted Term SOFR,” which is calculated as Term SOFR (as defined in the Amendment), plus a % adjustment for a one-month interest period, a % adjustment for a three-month interest period, or a % adjustment for a six-month interest period, subject to a % floor.
Borrowings under the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility generally bear interest at a floating rate plus an applicable margin that varies from % to % depending on the type of loan and our leverage. The interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility references SOFR and is based on “Adjusted Term SOFR,” which is calculated as Term SOFR (as defined in the Revolver Amendment), plus a % adjustment, subject to a % floor. In addition, we pay a commitment fee on the unused availability under the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility at a rate that varies from to basis points per annum, also depending on our leverage.
Any amounts borrowed under the Corporate Credit Facility, as well as obligations with respect to letters of credit issued pursuant to the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility, are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the borrower under, and guarantors of, that facility (which include MVWC and certain of our direct and indirect, existing and future, domestic subsidiaries, excluding certain bankruptcy remote special purpose subsidiaries).
Prior to 2022, we entered into interest rate swaps and an interest rate collar under which we may pay a fixed rate and receive a floating interest rate to hedge a portion of our interest rate risk on the Term Loan. During the second quarter of 2023, we amended these interest rate swaps and the collar to reference SOFR rather than LIBOR, effective July 31, 2023. As a result of this transition, the fixed rate on the $ million of interest rate swaps that matured in September 2023 was amended to %, the fixed rate on the $ million of interest rate swaps maturing in April 2024 was amended to %, and the cap strike price on the $ million interest rate collar was amended to %. Both the interest rate swaps and the interest rate collar have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk and are recorded in Other assets on our Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We characterize payments we make or receive in connection with these derivative instruments as interest expense and a reclassification of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss for presentation purposes.

Convertible Notes
2026 Convertible Notes
During 2021, we issued $ million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes (the “2026 Convertible Notes”) that bear interest at a rate of %. The 2026 Convertible Notes mature on January 15, 2026, unless repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to that date.

(1)As a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 during 2022, we no longer account for the liability and equity components of the convertible notes separately, and we reclassified the conversion feature related to the 2026 Convertible Notes from equity to liabilities. Prior period amounts have not been adjusted to reflect our adoption of ASU 2020-06 under the modified retrospective method. See Footnote 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for information on our adoption of ASU 2020-06.
2026 Convertible Note Hedges and Warrants
In connection with the offering of the 2026 Convertible Notes, we concurrently entered into the following privately-negotiated separate transactions: convertible note hedge transactions with respect to our common stock (the “2026 Convertible Note Hedges”), covering a total of  million shares of our common stock, and warrant transactions (“2026 Warrants”), whereby we sold to the counterparties to the 2026 Convertible Note Hedges warrants to acquire approximately  million shares of our common stock in each case, as of December 31, 2023. The strike prices of the 2026 Convertible Note Hedges and the 2026 Warrants were subject to adjustment to approximately $ and $ as of December 31, 2023, respectively, and 2026 Convertible Note Hedges or 2026 Warrants have been exercised.

Share Repurchase Program
From time to time, with the approval of our Board of Directors, we may undertake programs to purchase shares of our common stock (each, a “Share Repurchase Program”). During the second quarter of 2023, our Board of Directors increased the then-remaining authorization under our previously approved Share Repurchase Program to authorize purchases up to $ million and extended the term of this program to December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, approximately $ million remained available for share repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program.
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. In connection with the current Share Repurchase Program, we are authorized to adopt one or more plans pursuant to the provisions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The authorization for the current Share Repurchase Program may be suspended, terminated, increased or decreased by our Board of Directors at any time without prior notice. Acquired shares of our common stock are currently held as treasury shares and carried at cost in our Financial Statements.
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which was enacted in August 2022, imposes a 1% excise tax on the net value of certain stock repurchases made after December 31, 2022. For purposes of calculating the excise tax, the fair value of certain share issuances may be netted against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In 2023, we reflected the applicable excise tax in treasury stock as part of the cost basis of the stock repurchased and recorded a corresponding liability for the excise taxes payable in Accrued liabilities on our Balance Sheet.

The aggregate intrinsic value of SARs which were exercised in 2023, 2022, and 2021 was less than $ million, $ million, and $ million, respectively.
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.

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. We made voluntary repurchases of defaulted vacation ownership notes receivable, net of substitutions, of $ million during 2023, $ million during 2022 and $ million during 2021. We also made voluntary repurchases of $ million, $ million and $ million of other non-defaulted vacation ownership notes receivable during 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, to retire previous vacation ownership notes receivable securitizations. 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.

We believe that our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with this VIE is approximately $ million as of December 31, 2023. Subsequent to the end of 2023, we fulfilled our outstanding commitment to purchase retail space for $ million. We have an agreement to sell the retail space to a third party, at cost, upon completion of construction, which we expect to occur in the second half of 2024.

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 Vacation Club brands, as well as under Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, an extension of 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 Club brand, and we have the non-exclusive right to develop, market and sell whole ownership residential products under The Ritz-Carlton Residences brand. We also have a license to use the St. Regis brand for specified fractional ownership products.
Our Vacation Ownership segment generates most of its revenues from 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 an exchange network and membership programs, as well as provision of management services to other resorts and lodging properties. We provide these services through our Interval International and Aqua-Aston businesses. Exchange & Third-Party Management revenue generally is fee-based and derived from membership, exchange, and rental transactions, property and owners’ association management, and other related products and services. VRI Americas was part of the Exchange & Third-Party Management segment through the date of sale in April 2022. See Footnote 3 “Acquisitions and Dispositions” for more information on the disposition of VRI Americas.
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 and amortization, 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 Earnings before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to evaluate the profitability of our operating segments, and the components of net income or loss attributable to common stockholders excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are not separately evaluated. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss attributable to common stockholders, before interest expense (excluding consumer financing interest expense associated with term 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.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, 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 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, you should note that 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 December 31, 2023, 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.
