ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: VAC) today reported third quarter 2020 financial results and provided an update on business conditions.
"We are very encouraged by how quickly occupancy and exchange transactions recovered in the third quarter, illustrating the desire of timeshare customers to get back on vacation as well as the resiliency of our business model," said Stephen P. Weisz, president and chief executive officer. "We've now reopened most of our sales centers and tour flow continues to recover. As a result, we delivered $140 million of contract sales in the third quarter of 2020 and currently expect contract sales to increase to $160 to $185 million in the fourth quarter."
Third Quarter 2020 Highlights and Operational Update:
- Consolidated Vacation Ownership contract sales totaled $140 million in the third quarter of 2020.
- Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $62 million, or $1.51 loss per fully diluted share.

- Adjusted EBITDA was $35 million in the third quarter of 2020.
- Cash and cash equivalents totaled $660 million at the end of the third quarter of 2020 and the Company had nearly all of its capacity available under its $600 million revolving corporate credit facility.
- The Company expects to generate $335 million of cash from operations and at least $130 million of total cash flow in the second half of 2020.
- The Company now expects to generate at least $200 million of synergy and other cost savings, a $75 million increase from its prior goal.
Third Quarter 2020 Segment Results
Vacation Ownership
Revenues excluding cost reimbursements decreased 56% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the prior year but increased 40% from the second quarter of 2020 as occupancies continued to improve. Management fees increased 4% compared to the prior year and financing revenue declined 9% due to lower year-to-date contract sales resulting in a smaller notes receivable portfolio. Sale of vacation ownership products was $98 million in the quarter, an 85% improvement from the second quarter of 2020, and rental revenue was $46 million compared to $12 million in the second quarter.
Vacation Ownership segment financial results were a loss of $1 million in the third quarter of 2020 and segment Adjusted EBITDA was $28 million.
Exchange & Third-Party Management
Revenues excluding cost reimbursements decreased 34% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the prior year primarily due to lower exchange and rental transactions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, but increased 29% from the second quarter. Interval International exchange volumes increased 1% compared to the prior year and increased 11% from the second quarter of 2020. Active members declined 2% compared to the second quarter to 1.5 million. Average revenue per member decreased 10% to $36.76 compared to the prior year and increased 22% from the second quarter of 2020 as exchange and getaway rental activity increased.
Exchange & Third-Party Management segment financial results were $16 million in the third quarter of 2020 and segment Adjusted EBITDA was $31 million, with Adjusted EBITDA margin improving 180 basis points year-over-year.
Corporate and Other
General and administrative costs declined $25 million in the third quarter of 2020 primarily related to synergy savings and lower costs associated with the furlough and reduced work week programs including salary related costs as well as a $5 million credit available under the CARES Act, which incentivized companies to continue paying associates' benefit costs while not working.
Operational Update to COVID - 19
- In its Vacation Ownership business, most of the Company's sales centers were open as of the end of the third quarter of 2020. In addition, the Company was able to resume sales at its Hawaiian sales centers in mid-October;
- In its Interval International business, 93% of its resorts had reopened by the end of the third quarter of 2020;
- On September 10, 2020, the Company approved a workforce reduction plan, which is currently expected to impact approximately 3,000 associates. In connection with this plan, the Company estimates that it will incur approximately $25 to $30 million in restructuring and related charges primarily related to employee severance and benefit costs, including a portion that is included in cost reimbursements;
- Share repurchases and dividends continue to be temporarily suspended.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
On September 30, 2020, cash and cash equivalents totaled $660 million and the Company had $62 million of gross notes receivable that were eligible for securitization.
The Company had $4.4 billion in debt outstanding, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, at the end of the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $0.3 billion from year-end 2019. This debt included $2.7 billion of corporate debt and $1.8 billion of non-recourse debt related to its securitized notes receivable.
During the third quarter of 2020, the Company completed a securitization of timeshare receivables, issuing $375 million of notes at an overall weighted average interest rate of 2.5% and a 98% gross advance rate, generating net proceeds of $53 million after payoff of the Company's Warehouse Credit Facility and required expenses.

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 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 attributable to common shareholders, 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.
Certain Items Excluded from Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Development Margin
We evaluate non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted pretax (loss) income, Adjusted net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted development margin, that exclude certain items in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, 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.

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 may include adjustments for certain items as itemized in the discussion in the preceding paragraph. 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.
Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as earnings, or net income attributable to common shareholders, before interest expense (excluding consumer financing interest expense associated with term loan securitization transactions), 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 associated with term loan securitization transactions because we consider it 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 Attributable to Common Shareholders above, 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. 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 our competitors.
Free Cash Flow and Total Cash Flow
We evaluate Free Cash Flow as a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash provided by operating activities after capital expenditures for property and equipment (excluding inventory) 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. Total Cash Flow, which reflects additional adjustments to Free Cash Flow for the impact of borrowings available from the securitization of eligible vacation ownership notes receivable, acquisition and restructuring charges, 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 Total Cash Flow also facilities management's comparison of our results with our competitors' results.
