ORLANDO – March 28, 2024 – The Marriott Vacation Clubsℱ, a portfolio of vacation ownership brands operated by ŁÓŁÍÁíÀà Worldwide (NYSE: VAC), understands there is a difference between visiting a city and seeing its sites, and truly experiencing it by discovering its secrets. With that in mind, today the company announces . This collection consists of Marriott Vacation ClubÂź branded properties, including those formerly branded as Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, in seven vibrant cities with expansion plans that will also include other branded vacation club properties in highly sought after urban areas.

As part of the City Collection’s growing portfolio, Marriott Vacation ClubÂź expects to open a seven-story vacation ownership property in Waikiki later this year. Located on the south shore of Honolulu, the new property plans to have two floors of retail and approximately 110 guestrooms, featuring a mix of one-bedroom and studio units. Proposed rooftop amenities include a pool, fitness center and bar. Located on Kalakaua Avenue, one of Honolulu’s best-known retail avenues, the new property is also expected to house a 10,000-square-foot sales gallery where Owners, Members and guests can learn more about the benefits of vacation ownership. Reservations are now open for future rental stays on , and Owners in Abound by ŁÓŁÍÁíÀàℱ can use Club Points to reserve stays with check-ins beginning October 4, 2024. For more information, visit . 

“As a metropolitan complement to our global resort portfolio, The Marriott Vacation Clubs City Collection brings our Owners, Members and guests to the city – and the city to our Owners, Members and guests – by offering stylish stays that are in the heart of local interests, transportation and attractions, reflecting the spirit and culture of their dynamic surroundings,” said Lori Gustafson, Chief Membership & Commercial Services Officer at ŁÓŁÍÁíÀà Worldwide. “We know our Owners, Members and guests see great value in being close to the action, so we will continue to look for opportunities to expand our city offerings over the coming years.”

The Marriott Vacation Clubs has also announced plans to add the first two Westin Vacation Club properties to its City Collection portfolio. Expected to begin development in 2025, a newly proposed 50-unit property in Charleston, South Carolina overlooking the heart of the city will include a new on-site sales gallery. With the city of Charleston continually ranking on lists of the South’s best cities to visit for its thriving culinary scene, easy walkability and southern charm, this new property, located steps from the historic Charleston City Market, will bring the city experience right to Owners, Members and guest’s doorsteps. In 2026, a new proposed property in Savannah, Georgia is expected to break ground in the heart of the popular historic downtown district and will also include a sales gallery. These properties are anticipated to make great additions to the City Collection portfolio and offer two new, unique destinations for Owners, Members and guests.

Stylish Accommodations

The guestrooms and suites at City Collection properties echo the cosmopolitan nature of their surroundings, each with an updated, modern look and feel that reflects the personal energy and unique culture of its host city.

Each property currently in The Marriott Vacation Clubs City Collection portfolio was chosen for its central location in the heart of the action:

  • Marriott Vacation Club, South Beach – With an enchanting mix of history and modern luxury, this lovingly restored Mediterranean revival gem is one of South Beach’s most iconic locations. On the north end of Ocean Drive, it’s a short stroll to the best of Miami’s South Beach.
  • Marriott Vacation Club at The Mayflower, Washington, D.C. – Landmark vacations start here, a property proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places and central to hundreds of Washington, D.C.’s best museums, restaurants, shops, and attractions.
  • Marriott Vacation Club at Custom House, Boston – Built in 1847, the Custom House and its Clock Tower remain the jewel of Boston’s skyline and an elegant glimpse into America’s past.
  • Marriott Vacation Club at The Empire Place, Bangkok – Located within a high-end condominium residence in the heart and soul of Bangkok, this property places Owners and Members among the diverse and unique culture of locals and positions them perfectly to experience the ancient architectural wonders and modern marvels of Thailand.

Curated City Experiences

Each City Collection property has a City Insider on-site to help maximize an Owner’s, Member’s or guest’s experience. Exploring the destination with walking tours, bringing in curated tastes of local favorites and teaching Owners, Members and guests how to navigate the city, are just a few of the things the dedicated City Insider will help customize for you to satiate your desire for exploring, tasting, socializing and learning about the city destination in fun and enjoyable ways.

ŁÓŁÍÁíÀà Worldwide Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial … /2024/02/21/marriott-vacations-worldwide-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2023-financial-results/ /2024/02/21/marriott-vacations-worldwide-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2023-financial-results/#respond Wed, 21 Feb 2024 21:40:25 +0000 /?p=3124 ORLANDO, Fla. – February 21, 2024 – ŁÓŁÍÁíÀà Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: VAC) (“MVW” or the “Company”) reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2023 and provided guidance for full year 2024.

“After a challenging year, we ended the year on a very positive note, growing contract sales by 4% in the fourth quarter on a year-over-year basis with VPG in-line with the prior year, after adjusting for the estimated impact of the Maui wildfires,” said John Geller, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The transition to Abound by ŁÓŁÍÁíÀà is behind us. Moving forward, we continue to look for ways to leverage technology to grow our revenues while driving efficiencies and cost savings across the organization.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 Highlights

  • Consolidated Vacation Ownership contract sales declined 2% year-over-year to $447 million driven by 2% lower volume per guest (“VPG”). The Company estimates that excluding the impact of the Maui wildfires, contract sales would have grown 4%, tours would have increased 4% and VPG would have been unchanged compared to the prior year.
  • Net income attributable to common stockholders was $35 million and fully diluted earnings per share was $0.93.
  • Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders was $75 million and adjusted fully diluted earnings per share was $1.88.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $186 million.
  • The Company repurchased 431,000 shares of its common stock for $38 million during the quarter and increased its quarterly dividend to $0.76 per share, which was paid in January. For the year, the Company repurchased 6% of its shares outstanding for $286 million and paid $106 million in dividends.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Results

On August 8, 2023, a wildfire devastated the area of West Maui. While the Company operates four vacation ownership resorts and sales centers in the area, it did not sustain any physical damage to these resorts and sales centers. However, the Company estimates the Maui wildfires negatively impacted its fourth quarter contract sales by approximately $25 million, Net income attributable to common stockholders by $17 million and Adjusted EBITDA by $24 million.

In the third quarter of 2022, the Company aligned its contract terms for the sale of its Marriott-, Westin-, and Sheraton-branded vacation ownership products, resulting in the acceleration of revenue from the sale of Marriott-branded vacation ownership interests. In addition, the Company aligned its reserve methodology for vacation ownership notes receivable for these brands, resulting in a decrease in the reserve for the acquired notes offset by an increase in the reserve for the originated notes. Together, these changes are referred to as the “Alignment.”

The tables below illustrate the comparison of the reported results from the fourth quarter of 2023, as well as adjusted results that reflect the estimated impact of the Maui fires, to the results from the fourth quarter of 2022, including the impact of the Alignment on the Company’s reported results for that time period. In the tables below “*” denotes non-GAAP financial measures. Please see “NonGAAP Financial Measures” for additional information about our reasons for providing these alternative financial measures and limitations on their use.

Consolidated

Vacation Ownership
Selected Items

Revenues excluding cost reimbursements decreased 3% in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year. The decline was driven by a 2% year-over-year reduction in consolidated contract sales resulting from the Maui wildfires, as well as a $24 million prior year reportability benefit. Adjusted for the estimated $25 million impact of the Maui wildfires, consolidated contract sales would have increased 4% year-over-year.

Segment financial results attributable to common stockholders declined $42 million to $199 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 and Segment Adjusted EBITDA declined $25 million to $236 million. Adjusting for the $25 million estimated impact from the Maui wildfires in the current year and the $7 million Alignment benefit in the prior year, Segment Adjusted EBITDA would have increased 3% to $261 million.

Exchange & Third-Party Management
Selected Items

Revenues excluding cost reimbursements decreased 2% in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year driven by lower member transactions. Interval International ended the year with 1.6 million active members, in-line with the prior year, and Average revenue per member increased 2% year-over-year in the fourth quarter.

Segment financial results attributable to common stockholders were $18 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, Segment margin was 31% and Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $31 million. Adjusted for the estimated impact from the Maui wildfires, Segment Adjusted EBITDA would have decreased $1 million to $30 million.

Corporate and Other

General and administrative costs increased $22 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year primarily due to higher IT spending to drive our digital and data initiatives.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

The Company ended the year with $929 million in liquidity, including $248 million of cash and cash equivalents, $60 million of gross notes receivable that were eligible for securitization, and $621million of available capacity under its revolving corporate credit facility. At the end of 2023, the Company had $3.0 billion of corporate debt and $2.1 billion of non-recourse debt related to its securitized notes receivable.
