Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results
ORLANDO, Fla. – July 31, 2024 – Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: VAC) (“MVW,” the “Company,” “we” or “our”) reported second quarter 2024 financial results.
Second Quarter 2024 Highlights
•Consolidated Vacation Ownership contract sales declined 1% compared to the second quarter of 2023 to $449 million. Excluding Maui, contract sales increased 3% compared to the prior year.
•The Company recorded a $70 million increase to its sales reserve reflecting higher expected future defaults on its existing vacation ownership notes receivable portfolio.
•Net income attributable to common stockholders was $37 million compared to $90 million in the prior year, and fully diluted earnings per share was $0.98. Net income attributable to common stockholders reflects a $45 million impact of the higher sales reserve.
•Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders was $42 million compared to $90 million in the prior year, and adjusted fully diluted earnings per share was $1.10.
•Adjusted EBITDA decreased 29% compared to the prior year to $157 million reflecting a $57 million net increase to the Company’s sales reserve.
•The Company updates its full-year outlook.
“We had a mixed second quarter, with rentals exceeding our expectations and lower VPGs negatively impacting our contract sales. In addition, we have not seen the necessary improvements in our loan delinquencies, so we increased our sales reserves to reflect higher expected defaults,” said John Geller, president and chief executive officer. “Demand for travel remains strong with our resorts running 90% occupancy in the second quarter, tours increasing 5% and owner VPG’s flat compared to last year. However, first time buyer VPGs declined versus last year and Maui is recovering slower than our original expectations. As a result, we adjusted our contract sales guidance for the second half of the year.”

Contract sales declined 1% primarily due to the impact of the Maui wildfires. Excluding Maui, contract sales increased 3%. Segment Adjusted EBITDA declined compared to the prior year driven by lower Development and Financing profit, including an increase to the Company’s sales reserve, partially offset by higher Management and exchange and Rental profit.
Sales Reserve
The Company recorded a $70 million increase in its sales reserve in the second quarter resulting in a $45 million impact to Net income attributable to common stockholders and a $57 million net impact to Adjusted EBITDA.

Revenues excluding cost reimbursements decreased year-over-year, driven primarily by lower exchange volumes at Interval International and reduced management fees at Aqua-Aston. Segment Adjusted EBITDA declined year-over-year due to lower revenue.
Corporate and Other
General and administrative costs decreased $10 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year driven by lower IT and compensation-related costs.

During the second quarter the Company repurchased approximately 131,000 shares of its common stock for $12 million and paid $27 million in dividends.
The Company ended the quarter with $820 million in liquidity, including $206 million of cash and cash equivalents and $543 million of available capacity under its revolving corporate credit facility.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In our press release and schedules, and on the related conference call, we report certain financial measures that are not prescribed by GAAP. We discuss our reasons for reporting these non-GAAP financial measures below, and the financial schedules included herein reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to each non-GAAP financial measure that we report (identified by an asterisk (“*”) on the preceding pages). Although we evaluate and present these non-GAAP financial measures for the reasons described below, please be aware that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenues, net income or loss attributable to common stockholders, earnings or loss per share or any other comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do or may not calculate them at all, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Certain Items Excluded from Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We evaluate non-GAAP financial measures, including those identified by an asterisk (“*”) on the preceding pages, that exclude certain items as further described in the financial schedules included herein, and believe these measures provide useful information to investors because these non-GAAP financial measures allow for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of these items. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate the comparison of results from our on-going core operations before these items with results from other companies.
Adjusted Development Profit and Adjusted Development Profit Margin
We evaluate Adjusted development profit (Adjusted sale of vacation ownership products, net of expenses) and Adjusted development profit margin as indicators of operating performance. Adjusted development profit margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted development profit by revenues from the Sale of vacation ownership products. Adjusted development profit and Adjusted development profit margin adjust Sale of vacation ownership products revenues for the impact of revenue reportability, include corresponding adjustments to Cost of vacation ownership products associated with the change in revenues from the Sale of vacation ownership products, and may include adjustments for certain items as necessary. We evaluate Adjusted development profit and Adjusted development profit margin and believe they provide useful information to investors because they allow for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of revenue reportability and certain items to our Development profit and Development profit margin.
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 stockholders, before interest expense, net (excluding consumer financing interest expense associated with term securitization transactions), income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA reflects additional adjustments for certain items 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 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, expand our business, and return cash to stockholders. 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 provisions for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. EBITDA and Adjusted
A-14
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 companies.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We evaluate Adjusted EBITDA margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin as indicators of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by the Company’s total revenues less cost reimbursement revenues. Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by the applicable segment’s total revenues less cost reimbursement revenues. We evaluate Adjusted EBITDA margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin and believe it provides useful information to investors because it allows for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of excluded items.
Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow
We evaluate Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow as liquidity measures that provide useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash provided by operating activities after capital expenditures for property and equipment and the borrowing and repayment activity related to our term securitizations, which cash can be used for, among other purposes, strategic opportunities, including acquisitions and strengthening the balance sheet. Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which reflects additional adjustments to Free Cash Flow for the impact of transaction and integration charges, impact of borrowings available from the securitization of eligible vacation ownership notes receivable, and changes in restricted cash, allows for period-over-period comparisons of the cash generated by our business before the impact of these items. Analysis of Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow also facilitates management’s comparison of our results with our competitors’ results.
