  • Adoption of ASC 606 increased second-quarter reported revenues and operating expenses compared to the previous accounting guidance. Under the previous accounting guidance, second quarter revenue, net income and adjusted EBITDA increased 8.9 percent, 27.5 percent and 12.3 percent respectively.

Overview

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, diluted EPS was $1.10 compared to $0.51 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Net income was $107 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $51 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and adjusted EBITDA was $175 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $106 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018, were $563 million, compared to $439 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Adoption of ASC 606 increased revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018, by $85 million compared to the previous accounting guidance. The comparable increase was $42 million to net income, $0.44 per diluted share to EPS and $56 million to adjusted EBITDA.

The solid execution of our teams in the U.S. and Japan has delivered consecutive quarters of strong operating performance, including contract sales, Net Owner Growth and strategic deployment of capital,” says Mark Wang, president and CEO, Hilton Grand Vacations. “As a result, we are raising guidance based on the momentum we’re experiencing across the company and from sales of our new Ocean Tower project, which demonstrates how the investments we’re making position us well to accelerate continued growth.”

Segment Highlights Second Quarter

Real Estate Sales and Financing

Real Estate Sales and Financing segment revenue was $435 million in the second quarter of 2018, an increase of 34.7 percent, compared to the same period in 2017. Real Estate Sales and Financing segment adjusted EBITDA was $163 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $99 million in the same period in 2017. Real Estate Sales and Financing segment adjusted EBITDA margin as a percentage of Real Estate Sales and Financing segment revenues was 37.5 percent in the second quarter of 2018, compared to 30.7 percent for the same period in 2017.

Contract sales were $357 million in the second quarter of 2018, an increase of 10.5 percent compared to the same period in 2017. Fee-for-service contract sales represented 54.1 percent of total contract sales in the second quarter of 2018, compared to 51.4 percent in the same period in 2017. Tours increased 8.2 percent to 94,269 in the second quarter of 2018, compared to the same period in 2017. Volume Per Guest (VPG) for the second quarter of 2018 was $3,597, an increase of 2.7 percent compared to the same period in 2017.

Under the guidelines of ASC 606, sales of Vacation Ownership Intervals (VOIs) and all related direct expenses for projects under construction are deferred until construction is fully complete. In the second quarter of 2018, HGV completed construction at The Residences in New York City, and the property received its certificate of occupancy. As such, during the quarter, the Company recognized deferred revenues and expenses related to sales at The Residences that were made prior to May 2018, including sales that occurred prior to 2018 that had been recognized on a percentage of completion basis under the previous accounting guidance. As part of the adoption of ASC 606, those recognitions had been reversed at the beginning of 2018.

During the quarter, HGV also continued to defer recognition of revenues and direct expenses related to sales at its Ocean Tower property in Waikoloa, Hawaii, which remains under construction. The company expects to recognize these revenues and expenses in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Under ASC 606, HGV’s second quarter 2018 real estate margin reflects the net recognition of $87 million in sales of VOI revenue, $20 million of cost of VOI sales and $11 million of sales and marketing expense, net compared to the previous accounting guidance.

Additionally, second quarter of 2017 real estate results were positively impacted by a non-recurring benefit from forfeiture revenue realized on marketing packages, which reduced sales and marketing expenses by $10 million.

Financing revenues were $39 million in the second quarter of 2018, an increase of 8.3 percent compared to the same period in 2017.

The weighted average FICO score of new loans made to U.S. and Canadian borrowers at the time of origination was 749 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to 745 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, 65.1 percent of HGV’s sales were to customers who financed part of their purchase.

As of June 30, 2018, gross timeshare financing receivables were $1.2 billion with a weighted average interest rate of 12.2 percent and a weighted average remaining term of 7.7 years. As of June 30, 2018, 2.2 percent of HGV’s financing receivables were more than 30 days past due and not in default.

Resort Operations and Club Management

Resort Operations and Club Management segment revenue was $98 million in the second quarter of 2018, an increase of 6.5 percent compared to the same period in 2017. Resort Operations and Club Management segment adjusted EBITDA was $58 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $52 million in the same period in 2017. Resort Operations and Club Management segment adjusted EBITDA margin as a percentage of Resort Operations and Club Management segment revenues was 59.2 percent in the second quarter of 2018, compared to 56.5 percent for the same period in 2017.

Inventory

The estimated contract sales value of HGV’s pipeline of available inventory is approximately $7.8 billion at current pricing or approximately 5.8 years of sales at the current trailing 12-month sales pace. The estimated contract sales value of HGV’s pipeline of available owned inventory is approximately $5.1 billion or approximately 3.8 years of sales. The estimated contract sales value of HGV’s pipeline of available fee-for-service inventory is approximately $2.7 billion or approximately 2 years of sales.

Of the current pipeline of available inventory, 42 percent is considered just-in-time and 35 percent is considered fee-for-service. As such, the Company considers 77 percent of its pipeline of available inventory to be capital efficient.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2018, HGV had $637 million of corporate debt outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 5.2 percent and $604 million of non-recourse debt outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 2.7 percent.

Total cash and cash equivalents was $203 million as of June 30, 2018, including $72 million of restricted cash.

Free cash flow, which the Company defines as cash from operating activities, less non-inventory capital spending, was ($163) million for the six months ending June 30, 2018, compared to $156 million for the six months ending June 30, 2017. Adjusted free cash flow, which the Company defines as free cash flow less non-recourse debt activity, net was ($143) million for the six months ending June 30, 2018, compared to $111 million for the six months ending June 30, 2017.

Transactions and Subsequent Events

During the second quarter, HGV acquired the Quin, a 208-room hotel located in New York City for $176 million. It plans to convert the existing rooms into 212 studios and one- and two-bedroom timeshare units. The property will remain open during renovations and, pending registration, sales are anticipated to begin in the fourth quarter of 2019. The Quin is the latest addition to HGV’s New York City portfolio of urban timeshare properties, which also includes The Residences by Hilton Club, The Hilton Club – New York and West 57th Street by Hilton Club.

HGV has made a $41 million deposit to purchase 87 of the 375 hotel rooms within the Hilton Los Cabos Beach and Golf Resort in Los Cabos, Mexico. It plans to convert the 87 rooms into 74 timeshare units. The total project investment is expected to be approximately $50 million, including the deposit, renovations and start-up costs. Pending completion of the condominiumization of the entire resort, HGV expects to obtain title and begin renovations to its 87 units in mid-2019, with sales expected to commence by the end of 2019. The AAA Four-Diamond oceanfront resort is situated on 11.3 acres along the San Jose-San Lucas corridor at the tip of the Baja California peninsula and offers access to one of the area’s only swimmer-friendly beaches.

New Accounting Standards and Adjusted Results

HGV adopted Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), on Jan. 1, 2018, under the modified retrospective method of adoption. The following are some of the significant changes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

  • Revenue and direct expense related to sales of VOIs under construction will be recognized when construction is completed, as opposed to recognizing revenue and related expenses under a percentage of completion method;
  • Revenue on prepaid discounted vacation packages will be recognized proportionately as packages are redeemed, as opposed to when the likelihood of redemption is considered remote; and
  • Revenue and expense related to certain sales incentives where HGV acts as the agent will be recognized on a net basis, as opposed to recognized on a gross basis.

The following tables show the estimated impacts that the ASC 606 adjustments would have had to HGV’s quarterly and annual 2017 operating results, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, if HGV had adopted ASC 606 utilizing the full retrospective method of adoption.

DEFINITIONS

 

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA, presented herein, is a financial measure that is not recognized under U.S. GAAP that reflects net income (loss), before interest expense (excluding non-recourse debt), a provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as EBITDA, as previously defined, further adjusted to exclude certain items, including, but not limited to, gains, losses and expenses in connection with: (i) asset dispositions; (ii) foreign currency transactions; (iii) debt restructurings/retirements; (iv) non-cash impairment losses; (v) reorganization costs, including severance and relocation costs; (vi) share-based and certain other compensation expenses; (vii) costs related to the spin-off; and (viii) other items.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our definitions of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

HGV believes that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors about us and our financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are among the measures used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions; and (ii) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common performance measure to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in our industry. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash flow or other methods of analyzing our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

  • EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
  • EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our interest expense (excluding interest expense on non-recourse debt), or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our indebtedness;
  • EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
  • EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
  • EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the effect on earnings or changes resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our future operations;
  • EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for future replacements of assets that are being depreciated and amortized;
  • EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may be calculated differently from other companies in our industry limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as discretionary cash available to us to reinvest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.

Real Estate Metrics

Contract sales represents the total amount of VOI products under purchase agreements signed during the period where HGV has received a down payment of at least 10 percent of the contract price. Contract sales is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to Sales of VOIs, net or any other comparable operating measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Contract sales differ from revenues from the Sales of VOIs, net that HGV reports in its consolidated statements of operations due to the requirements for revenue recognition as described in Note 2: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, as well as adjustments for incentives and other administrative fee revenues. HGV considers contract sales to be an important operating measure because it reflects the pace of sales in HGV’s business.

Developed Inventory refers to VOI inventory source from projects the Company develops.

Fee-for-Service Inventory refers to VOI inventory HGV sells and manages on behalf of first-party developers.

Just-in-Time Inventory refers to VOI inventory primarily sourced in transactions that are designed to closely correlate the timing of the acquisition with HGV’s sale of that inventory to purchasers.

NOG or Net Owner Growth represents the year-over-year change in membership.

Real estate margin represents sales revenue less the cost of VOI sales and sales and marketing costs, net of marketing revenue. Real estate margin percentage is calculated by dividing real estate margin by sales revenue. HGV considers this to be an important operating measure because it measures the efficiency of the Company’s sales and marketing spending and management of inventory costs.

Sales revenue represents sale of VOIs, net and commissions and brand fees earned from the sale of fee-for-service intervals.

Tour flow represents the number of sales presentations given at HGV’s sales centers during the period.

Volume per guest (“VPG”) represents the sales attributable to tours at HGV’s sales locations and is calculated by dividing Contract sales, excluding telesales, by tour flow. The Company considers VPG to be an important operating measure because it measures the effectiveness of HGV’s sales process, combining the average transaction price with closing rate.

Free cash flow represents cash from operating activities adjusted for share based compensation, less non-inventory capital spending.

Adjusted free cash flow represents free cash flow less non-recourse debt activities, net.

Resort and Club Management and Rental Metrics

Transient rate represents the total rental room revenue for transient guests divided by total number of transient room nights sold in a given period and excludes room rentals associated with marketing programs, owner usage and the redemption of Club Bonus Points.
