Marriott Vacations Worldwide Reports Third Quarter Financial Results

October 13, 2016 8:00 AM

ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: VAC) today reported third quarter financial results and updated its guidance for the full year 2016.

"We continued to execute our growth strategy in the third quarter. Contract sales in our key North America and Asia Pacific segments were up 8.3 percent in the quarter, an acceleration of the year-over-year growth that began near the end of the second quarter. Our sales growth in the quarter came not only from the continued ramp-up of sales at our new North America and Asia Pacific sales centers, but also from sales improvement at our existing sites," said Stephen P. Weisz, president and chief executive officer. "With the momentum we have seen in our new sales centers during the third quarter and our fourth quarter tour activations well ahead of this time last year, we remain confident in our growth strategy and the solid foundation we are building for continued sales growth going into 2017."

Third quarter 2016 highlights:

  • Net income was $26.8 million, or $0.97 fully diluted earnings per share (EPS), compared to net income of $21.6 million, or $0.67 fully diluted EPS, in the third quarter of 2015, an increase of 24.4 percent and 44.8 percent, respectively.
    • Adjusted EBITDA totaled $50.6 million, a decrease of $4.1 million year-over-year, as the quarter was impacted by $12.4 million of lower revenue reportability, the majority of which should benefit the fourth quarter. Adjusting for the timing impact of revenue reportability, 2016 Adjusted EBITDA would have been $63.0 million, an increase of $1.3 million over 2015.
    • Adjusted fully diluted EPS was $0.96 compared to $0.82 in the third quarter of 2015, an increase of 17.1 percent.
  • Total company vacation ownership contract sales (which exclude residential sales) were $169.8 million, $10.1 million, or 6.3 percent, ahead of the prior year period. Contract sales in our key North America and Asia Pacific segments were $12.5 million, or 8.3 percent, ahead of the prior year period.
  • Company development margin percentage was 13.1 percent compared to 17.8 percent in the third quarter of 2015. Company adjusted development margin percentage was 19.7 percent compared to 21.2 percent in the third quarter of 2015.
  • Resort management and other services revenues net of expenses were $30.1 million, an increase of $3.7 million, or 13.9 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2015.
  • Financing revenues net of expenses and consumer financing interest expense were $18.9 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 7.6 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2015.
  • In August 2016, the company completed a securitization of $259 million of vacation ownership notes receivable at a blended borrowing rate of 2.28 percent, generating total gross proceeds of $250 million.

Non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted fully diluted earnings per share, and adjusted development margin are reconciled and adjustments are shown and described in further detail on pages A-10 and A-11 of the Financial Schedules that follow.

Third quarter 2016 Results

Company Results

Third quarter 2016 company net income was $26.8 million, a $5.3 million increase from the third quarter of 2015. These results were driven mainly by $5.1 million of lower acquisition related transaction costs, $3.7 million of higher resort management and other services revenues net of expenses, $1.6 million of lower general and administrative costs, $1.3 million of higher financing revenues net of expenses, $0.6 million of lower interest expense, and $0.5 million of higher gains and other income due to a change in the estimated costs associated with the disposition of the portion of the Surfers Paradise, Australia property that the company did not convert to vacation ownership inventory. These increases were partially offset by $7.2 million of lower development margin, of which $5.4 million related to the timing of revenue reportability year-over-year, and $0.7 million of lower rental revenues net of expenses.

Total company vacation ownership contract sales were $169.8 million, $10.1 million, or 6.3 percent, higher than the third quarter of last year. These results were driven by $8.2 million of higher contract sales in the company's North America segment and $4.3 million of higher contract sales in the company's Asia Pacific segment, partially offset by $2.4 million of lower contract sales in the company's Europe segment as it continues to sell through the remaining developer inventory.

Development margin was $17.2 million, a $7.2 million decrease from the third quarter of 2015. Development margin percentage was 13.1 percent compared to 17.8 percent in the prior year quarter. The decline in development margin reflected $5.4 million related to the timing of revenue reportability year-over-year, $4.0 million from higher sales reserve activity mainly associated with a 19 percent, or 10.1 percentage point, increase in financing propensity as well as higher Latin America default activity, $3.4 million of higher marketing and sales costs from ramp-up costs associated with the company's new sales distributions, and $1.3 million related mainly to higher usage of plus points for sales incentives. These changes were offset partially by $5.1 million of lower product costs, and $1.8 million from higher contract sales volumes net of expenses. Adjusted development margin percentage, which excludes the impact of revenue reportability year-over-year, was 19.7 percent in the third quarter of 2016 compared to 21.2 percent in the third quarter of 2015.

Rental revenues totaled $73.8 million, a $2.3 million decrease from the third quarter of 2015. Results reflected $1.9 million of lower revenue from our San Diego property during its conversion from an operating property to vacation ownership inventory, $0.8 million of lower revenue due to the disposition of the portion of the Surfers Paradise, Australia property, and $0.6 million of lower plus points revenues, partially offset by $1.0 million from increases in transient and preview keys rented. Rental revenues net of expenses were $12.8 million, a $0.7 million, or 4.9 percent, decrease from the third quarter of 2015, primarily reflecting the lower plus points revenues in the quarter.

Resort management and other services revenues totaled $75.5 million, a $1.7 million increase from the third quarter of 2015. Resort management and other services revenues, net of expenses, totaled $30.1 million, a $3.7 million, or 13.9 percent, increase from the third quarter of 2015.

Financing revenues totaled $29.1 million, a $0.8 million increase from the third quarter of 2015. Financing revenues, net of expenses and consumer financing interest expense, were $18.9 million, a $1.3 million, or 7.6 percent, increase from the third quarter of 2015.

Net income was $26.8 million, compared to net income of $21.6 million in the third quarter of 2015, an increase of $5.3 million, or 24.4 percent. Adjusted EBITDA was $50.6 million in the third quarter of 2016, a $4.1 million, or 7.6 percent, decrease from $54.7 million in the third quarter of 2015.

Segment Results

North America

North America vacation ownership contract sales were $151.0 million in the third quarter of 2016, an increase of $8.2 million, or 5.7 percent, from the prior year period, reflecting higher sales from existing sales centers, driven by the success of our new marketing programs, as well as the ramp-up of new sales centers. Total tours in the third quarter of 2016 increased 9.1 percent, driven by an increase in first time buyer and owner tours of 12 percent and 7 percent, respectively. VPG decreased $57 to $3,371 in the third quarter of 2016 from the third quarter of 2015.

Third quarter 2016 North America segment financial results were $82.0 million, a decrease of $3.4 million from the third quarter of 2015. The decrease was driven primarily by $6.1 million of lower development margin, of which $4.7 million related to the timing of revenue reportability year-over-year, $1.1 million of lower rental revenues net of expense, and $0.6 million of higher royalty expenses. These decreases were offset by $3.5 million of higher resort management and other services revenues net of expenses, and $1.0 million of higher financing revenues.

Development margin was $18.4 million, a $6.1 million decrease from the third quarter of 2015. Development margin percentage was 15.8 percent compared to 20.0 percent in the prior year quarter. The decline in development margin reflected $4.7 million related to the timing of revenue reportability year-over-year, $3.9 million from higher sales reserve activity mainly associated with an 18 percent, or 9.7 percentage point, increase in financing propensity as well as higher Latin America default activity, $2.3 million of higher marketing and sales costs from ramp-up costs associated with the company's new sales distributions, and $1.3 million related mainly to higher usage of plus points for sales incentives. These decreases were offset partially by $4.2 million of lower product costs, and $1.9 million from higher contract sales volumes net of expenses. Adjusted development margin, which excludes the impact of revenue reportability year-over-year, was $29.2 million, a $1.4 million decrease from the prior year quarter. Adjusted development margin percentage was 22.0 percent in the third quarter of 2016 compared to 23.1 percent in the third quarter of 2015.

Asia Pacific

Total vacation ownership contract sales in the segment were $11.2 million, an increase of $4.3 million, or 62.4 percent, from the third quarter of 2015. Segment financial results were $1.3 million, a $5.3 million increase from the third quarter of 2015, driven by $4.1 million of lower acquisition related transaction costs in the current year, $0.6 million of higher rental revenues net of expenses, $0.5 million of higher gains and other income due to a change in the estimated costs associated with the disposition of the portion of the Surfers Paradise, Australia property, and $0.3 million of higher development margin.

Europe

Third quarter 2016 contract sales were $7.7 million, a decrease of $2.4 million from the third quarter of 2015. Segment financial results were $4.5 million, a $1.6 million decrease from the third quarter of 2015, driven by $1.5 million of lower development margin.

Share Repurchase Program and Dividends

The company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock in the third quarter due to limitations resulting from the accelerated share repurchase (ASR) arrangement entered into during the second quarter, which effectively accelerated third quarter repurchases. The ASR arrangement closed out after the end of the third quarter, at which time the company received 17,511 additional shares, bringing the total number of shares received under the ASR arrangement to 1,186,428 at a cost of $85.0 million.

Year to date, the company returned nearly $190 million to its shareholders through the repurchase of 2.8 million shares for $163.4 million and more than $26 million in dividends paid.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

On September 9, 2016, cash and cash equivalents totaled $174.8 million. Since the beginning of the year, real estate inventory balances increased $45.9 million to $709.9 million, including $319.7 million of finished goods, $66.5 million of work-in-progress, and $323.7 million of land and infrastructure. The company had $815.2 million in gross debt outstanding at the end of the third quarter, an increase of $127.1 million from year-end 2015, consisting primarily of $806.7 million in gross non-recourse securitized notes receivable. In addition, $40.0 million of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock of a subsidiary of the company was outstanding at the end of the third quarter of 2016. The company has notified the holders of the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock that it will redeem the preferred stock on October 26, 2016 at par plus any accrued dividends.

In August 2016, the company completed a securitization of $259 million of vacation ownership notes receivable at a blended borrowing rate of 2.28 percent and an advance rate of 96.5 percent, generating $250 million in gross cash proceeds. Approximately $207 million of the vacation ownership notes receivable were purchased on August 11, 2016 by the MVW Owner Trust 2016-1 (the "2016-1 Trust"), and the company received $200 million of the proceeds. When the remaining $51.8 million of vacation ownership notes receivable were purchased by the 2016-1 Trust subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the remaining $50 million of proceeds, which had been held in restricted cash, was released.

As of September 9, 2016, the company had approximately $197 million in available capacity under its revolving credit facility after taking into account outstanding letters of credit.

MARRIOTT VACATIONS WORLDWIDE CORPORATION

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In our press release and schedules, and on the related conference call, we report certain financial measures that are not prescribed or authorized by United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We discuss our reasons for reporting these non-GAAP financial measures below, and the financial schedules reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to each non-GAAP financial measure that we report (identified by a double asterisk ("**") on the preceding pages). Although we evaluate and present these non-GAAP financial measures for the reasons described below, please be aware that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenues, net income, earnings per share or any other comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated and / or presented differently than measures with the same or similar names that are reported by other companies, and as a result, the non-GAAP financial measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.

Adjusted Net Income. We evaluate non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Development Margin, that exclude certain items in the 12 weeks and 36 Weeks Ended September 9, 2016 and September 11, 2015 because these non-GAAP financial measures allow for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of these items. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate our comparison of results from our on-going core operations before these items with results from other vacation ownership companies.

Certain items - 12 weeks and 36 Weeks Ended September 9, 2016. In our Statement of Income for the 12 weeks ended September 9, 2016, we recorded $0.3 million of net pre-tax items, which included $0.5 million of gains and other income not associated with our on-going core operations and $0.1 million of transaction costs associated with acquisitions. In our Statement of Income for the 36 Weeks Ended September 9, 2016, we recorded $6.5 million of net pre-tax items, which included $11.1 million of gains and other income not associated with our on-going core operations, $4.7 million of transaction costs associated with acquisitions, $0.2 million of losses (including $0.5 million of depreciation) from the operations of the property we acquired in Australia in 2015 that we sold in the second quarter of 2016, and a $0.3 million reversal of litigation settlement expense.

Certain items - 12 weeks and 36 Weeks Ended September 11, 2015. In our Statement of Income for the 12 weeks ended September 11, 2015, we recorded $7.4 million of net pre-tax items, which included $5.2 million of transaction costs associated with acquisitions, a $1.8 million adjustment for refurbishment costs at a project in our North America segment, $0.4 million of organizational and separation related costs and less than $0.1 million of losses and other expense not associated with our on-going core operations. In our Statement of Income for the 36 weeks ended September 11, 2015, we recorded $6.7 million of net pre-tax items, which included $9.5 million of gains and other income not associated with our on-going core operations, $6.5 million of transaction costs associated with acquisitions, $5.9 million of development profit from the disposition of units in Macau as whole ownership residential units rather than through our Marriott Vacation Club, Asia Pacific points program, a $1.8 million adjustment for refurbishment costs at a project in our North America segment, $0.7 million of organizational and separation related costs, and a $0.2 million reversal of litigation settlement expense.

Adjusted Development Margin (Adjusted Sale of Vacation Ownership Products Net of Expenses). We evaluate Adjusted Development Margin (Adjusted Sale of Vacation Ownership Products Net of Expenses) as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted Development Margin adjusts Sale of vacation ownership products revenues for the impact of revenue reportability, includes corresponding adjustments to Cost of vacation ownership products expense and Marketing and sales expense associated with the change in revenues from the Sale of vacation ownership products, and includes adjustments for certain items as itemized in the discussion of Adjusted Net Income above. We evaluate Adjusted Development Margin because it allows for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of revenue reportability and certain items to our Development Margin.

MARRIOTT VACATIONS WORLDWIDE CORPORATION

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as earnings, or net income, before interest expense (excluding consumer financing interest expense), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. For purposes of our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations, we do not adjust for consumer financing interest expense because the associated debt is secured by vacation ownership notes receivable that have been sold to bankruptcy remote special purpose entities and is generally non-recourse to us. Further, we consider consumer financing interest expense to be an operating expense of our business. We consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be indicators of operating performance, which we use to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand our business. We also use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as do analysts, lenders, investors and others, because these measures exclude 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. Adjusted EBITDA reflects additional adjustments for certain items, as itemized in the discussion of Adjusted Net Income above, including, beginning with the first quarter of 2016, the exclusion of non-cash share-based compensation expense to address considerable variability among companies in recording compensation expense because companies use share-based payment awards differently, both in the type and quantity of awards granted. Prior period presentation has been recast for consistency. We evaluate Adjusted EBITDA as an indicator of operating performance because it allows for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of the excluded items. Together, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA facilitate our comparison of results from our on-going core operations before the impact of these items with results from other vacation ownership companies.

Free Cash Flow 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, changes in restricted cash, and the borrowing and repayment activity related to our securitizations, which cash can be used for 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 organizational and separation related, litigation, and other cash charges, 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.
