Overview – Full-Year 2018

“2018 was a remarkable year as we saw 7 percent NOG growth and double-digit contract sales and Adjusted EBITDA growth,” says Mark Wang, president and CEO, Hilton Grand Vacations. “More importantly, we successfully put in place a pipeline of high-return projects in high-demand markets to accelerate our growth in 2019 and beyond. With our recent project announcement, Maui joins Japan, Charleston, Cabo, Chicago and Barbados on the roster of exciting new destinations we’ve announced over the past 15 months. We believe our strong 2018 results and the long-term outlook we shared at our recent Investor Day demonstrate HGV’s ability to continue our momentum and drive long-term value for our shareholders.”

Inventory

The estimated contract sales value of HGV’s total pipeline is approximately $9.9 billion at current pricing, which represents approximately 7.0 years of sales at the current trailing 12-month sales pace.

The total pipeline includes approximately 1.4 years of sales relating to inventory that is currently available for sale at open or soon-to-open projects. The remaining 5.6 years of sales is inventory at new or existing projects that will become available for sale in the future upon registration, delivery or construction.

Owned inventory represents 76 percent of HGV’s total pipeline. Approximately 13 percent of the owned inventory pipeline is currently available for sale.

Fee-for-service inventory represents 24 percent of HGV’s total pipeline. Approximately 40 percent of the fee-for-service inventory pipeline is currently available for sale.

With 32 percent of the pipeline consisting of just-in-time inventory and 24 percent consisting of fee-for-service inventory, capital-efficient inventory represents 56 percent of HGV’s total pipeline.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Total cash and cash equivalents was $180 million as of Dec. 31, 2018, including $72 million of restricted cash.

As of Dec. 31, 2018, HGV had $604 million of corporate debt, net outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 5.2 percent and $759 million of non-recourse debt, net outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 3.1 percent.

Free cash flow was ($222) million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2018, compared to $309 million in the prior period. Adjusted free cash flow was ($44) million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2018, compared to $200 million in the prior period.

In November, the Company increased its credit facility to $1 billion from $400 million, including the expansion of its revolver to $800 million from $200 million and refinanced and increased its existing term loan to $200 million. The new facility includes incrementally better pricing than the previous facility and provides HGV greater flexibility to pursue its capital deployment strategies. As of Dec. 31, 2018, there was $684 million of available capacity on the revolver.

Share Repurchase Program

On Nov. 28, 2018, the Company announced that its board of directors approved a $200 million share repurchase program. Under the program, repurchases may be carried out through open-market purchases, block trades or other transactions subject to customary restrictions.

Under the new authorization, during the fourth quarter, the Company repurchased 2.5 million shares for $71 million at an average price of $28.62. This was the maximum amount permitted given daily trading volume restrictions and the number of non-blackout trading days available during the quarter.

Subsequent Event

Subsequent to the fourth quarter, HGV announced that it will develop its first property on the Hawaiian island of Maui. Maui Bay Villas by Hilton Grand Vacations will be HGV’s 10thproperty in Hawaii. The multi-phase, 388-unit project is located on a 27-acre site on the island’s southwestern coast with 740 feet of oceanfront. The resort will offer a selection of one-, two- and three-bedroom suites across a resort-style campus comprised of a dozen one- to four-story buildings. The initial project phase, which is scheduled for completion in early 2021, includes 131 units within four buildings and all supporting buildings and improvements. Planned amenities include a clubhouse with restaurant, keiki club, fitness center, grab-and-go market, “super pool” with pool bar, oceanfront beach club and over 15 acres of open-lawn recreational space. Sales are anticipated to begin in early 2020. The development costs for this project were included in the 2019-2021 inventory spending guidance the Company provided at its Investor Day on Dec. 4, 2018.

Total Construction Deferrals and/or Recognitions Included in Results Reported Under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 (“ASC 606”)

The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA as reported under ASC 606 includes construction-related recognitions and deferrals of revenues and related expenses as detailed in Table T-1. Under ASC 606, the Company defers revenues and related expenses pertaining to sales at projects that occur during periods when that project is under construction until the period when construction is completed.

HGV deferred revenues and expense related to sales made at Ocean Tower for the first three quarters of 2018 and recognized them in the fourth quarter of 2018 when construction was completed on this project. Likewise, HGV deferred revenues and expense related to sales made at The Residences in the first quarter of 2018 and recognized them in the second quarter of 2018 when construction was completed on this project. These deferrals and recognitions of sales made in 2018 offset and there was no net financial impact in 2018.

The $79 million net recognition impact for 2018 relates to the recognition of revenues and expenses related to sales made at The Residences prior to 2018 that were recognized in the second quarter of 2018 when construction was completed. A portion of these pre-2018 sales had been partially recognized in prior periods under the previous accounting guidance, but as part of the adoption of ASC 606 on Jan. 1, 2018, those recognitions were reversed with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.

Comparison of Reported Results Under ASC 606 Compared to Previous Accounting Guidance

The following discussion relates to the reconciliation of HGV’s financial results as reported under the current accounting guidance ASC 606 and the “previous accounting guidance,” ASC 605 as presented in tables T-16 through T-21. Throughout 2018, to assist in the transition from ASC 605 to ASC 606, HGV has been reconciling its reported 2018 results to ASC 605. Beginning in 2019, HGV will no longer present this reconciliation.

Under ASC 606, recognitions of previously deferred revenues and expenses increased reported revenue, net income and Adjusted EBITDA for the year and quarter ended Dec. 31, 2018, compared to ASC 605. Under 605, total revenues, net income and Adjusted EBITDA were $1.9 billion, $247 million and $435 million, respectively, for the year ended Dec. 31, 2018, and $513 million, $66 million and $114 million, respectively, for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2018.

Table T-2 shows that construction-related recognitions increased HGV’s 2018 reported financial results under ASC 606 by $67 million compared to ASC 605. This reflects the recognition of revenues and expenses related to sales made and deferred at The Residences prior to 2018 that deferred through a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings on Jan. 1, 2018, and subsequently recognized in the second quarter of 2018 when construction was completed on this project. Table T-2 also reflects offsetting deferrals and recognitions related to sales made during 2018 at The Residences and Ocean Tower that have no full-year financial impact.

The $12 million variance between the $79 million full-year recognitions shown in Table T-1 and the $67 million full-year recognitions shown in Table T-2 relates to timing differences in how recognitions are treated between ASC 606 and ASC 605. The $67 million represents deferrals that would have been recognized prior to 2018 under ASC 605 based on the percentage of completion approach. As such, they are removed from the 2018 results as part of the reconciliation to ASC 605. The remaining $12 million of deferrals is not removed from the reconciliation because it would have been recognized in 2018 under both ASC 606 and ASC 605 based on percentage of completion.

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 HGVhas 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 thetiming 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 dividingContract 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 capitalspending.

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 nightssold in a given period and excludes room rentals associated with marketing programs, owner usage and the redemption of Club Bonus Points.
