As we report on our corporate responsibility initiatives or goals, we may be subject to heightened reputational and operational risk and compliance costs related to these matters. Our control over resorts and properties that we manage is generally limited by the terms of the applicable management agreements. As a result, our ability to achieve some or all of our corporate responsibility initiatives or goals may be limited without additional support or action by the owners’ associations of the vacation ownership resorts and properties we manage. Complying with increased regulations could increase our costs and adversely impact our results of operations. Our inability or failure to meet, or the perceived failure to meet, such stakeholders’ expectations, as well as adverse incidents, could negatively impact our stock price, results of operations, or reputation and increase our cost of capital.

Our success and results of operations depend, in substantial part, upon the health of the worldwide vacation ownership and leisure travel industries, and may be adversely affected by a number of factors that can disrupt or deter travel. A substantial amount of our sales activity occurs at our resorts, and sales volume is affected by the number of visitors at our resorts. Fear of exposure to contagious illnesses, natural or man-made disasters, the physical effects of climate change, such as more frequent or severe storms, droughts, hurricanes, wildfires, erosion and flooding, weakened consumer confidence, limited availability or increased costs of consumer credit, damage to infrastructure caused by natural or man-made disasters, changes in government policies affecting travel such as modifications to visa processing, entry requirements, border controls, or other travel-related regulations or policies or other changes that impact travelers’ interest in traveling to locations in which our resorts are located, and other causes that impede travel have caused, and may in the future cause, travelers to delay or cancel plans to tour or visit our resorts. For example, hurricanes and wildfires have caused a number of Interval International exchange network resorts and our managed vacation ownership resorts to close for prolonged periods. The 2023 wildfires in Maui also resulted in the temporary closure of our resorts and sales centers in Maui, which had an adverse effect on our business and results of operations for 2023 and 2024. At times, beach access at certain of our resorts and our managed resorts has been impeded by weather conditions or due to the effects of erosion. Actual or threatened war, civil unrest and terrorist activity, as well as heightened travel security measures, could also interrupt or deter travel plans. In addition, demand for our products and services may decrease if the cost of travel, including the cost of transportation and fuel, increases, airlift to vacation destinations decreases, airline or airport disruptions, flight cancellations or unreliability of various modes of transportation increases, or if general economic conditions decline.
Uncertainty in the current global macroeconomic environment created by rapid governmental policy and regulatory changes could negatively impact our business.
Our business operations and financial performance are significantly influenced by governmental policies, the regulatory environment and consumers' willingness to travel to our resorts. Rapid changes to governmental policies worldwide and, evolving governmental regulations regarding international trade and other matters have introduced substantial uncertainty and volatility into the financial markets which can negatively impact consumer sentiment. These changes could negatively impact our supply chain, cost structure, market access and consumers' willingness to travel to our resorts and purchase our products and services. Additionally, recent and future policy and regulatory changes could disrupt our strategic planning and investments, require us to increase maintenance fees and negatively impact owners’ ability to pay such fees, decrease consumers' disposable income and impact our ability to originate, and the borrowers’ repayment of, vacation ownership notes receivable, among other consequences. These factors may also adversely impair our ability to execute strategies to mitigate negative impacts of the current environment.
The unpredictable nature of the current global macroeconomic environment makes it challenging to anticipate and address possible material risks. This uncertainty and its effects could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Inflation can and has adversely affected us by increasing the costs of carrying unsold inventory, development and other corporate capital expenditures, materials and labor, service contracts, insurance, technology and related hardware or equipment, and interest rates. All of these factors can and at times have decreased the affordability of our products and services. In a high inflationary environment, we may be unable to raise the price of our products and services in a proportional manner, which at times has reduced and in the future could reduce, our operating margins and negatively impact our results or operations. In addition, increases in the cost of capital, labor and materials have had, and in the future could have an adverse impact on our business or financial results. Inflation has had and in the future could have an indirect adverse impact on our business by making travel more expensive, increasing maintenance costs and fees for consumers, and reducing consumer discretionary income and negatively impacting the performance of our vacation ownership notes receivable portfolio.
We finance more than half of our VOI sales. While we adjust interest rates on our financing programs from time to time, such changes are typically not made in lockstep with the timing and magnitude of changes in broader market rates. Increasing our financing rates could negatively impact VOI sales and financing propensity. However, if we are unable to increase our financing rates at the same rate as our costs of funds, our financing profits and margin will be negatively impacted, as happened in 2023 and 2024.
Risks related to global or regional health concerns, outbreaks, and pandemics (each a “Health Crisis”).
TheFuture COVID-19global pandemicor had,regional health concerns, outbreaks, and pandemics (each a future “Health Crisis”) may have,have serious adverse effects on our business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations for an unknown period of time.
The success of our business and our financial results depend, in substantial part, upon the health of the travel industry. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted international and U.S. economies and markets and had a material adverse impact on participants in the travel and hospitality industries, including our Company. For example, in 2020 we saw marked declines in resort occupancy, rentals, and contract sales due to temporary closures of nearly all of our sales centers and many of our resorts and the limited operations at all of our resorts. Consumer fears, government restrictions and changes in travel behavior related to future Health Crises could similarly impact our business and financial results.

TheOur successsales of our businessvolume and ourrental financialrevenue results depend, in substantial part, upon the health of the travel industry. Our business and financial results wereare materially adversely affectedimpacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020; for example, we saw marked declines in occupancy, rentals,desire and contractability salesof vacationers to travel, because of the temporary closure of nearly all of our sales centers and many of our resorts and the reduction in operations and amenities at all of our resorts. When Health Crises make headlines, consumer fear about contracting an illness and government recommendations or mandates to avoid large gatherings of people or self-quarantine may increase. These fears, recommendations and mandates have affected, and may affect in the future, resort occupancies. Aa substantial amount of our sales activity occurs at our resorts,resorts. andConcerns theabout numbertravel of prospective and current owners who visit our resorts impacts sales volume. Our rental revenue is also substantially impacted by the desire and ability of vacationers to travel. Fear of exposure to illnesses, government restrictions on travel,restrictions, low vaccination rates in some parts of the world and illnesses that may be resistantexposure to availableillness, vaccinesincluding vaccine-resistant illnesses could cause travelers to cancel or delay plans to visit our resorts.resorts, These changes in vacation and travel patternswhich could adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, and results of operations. Moreover, wheneven after travel advisories and restrictions are lifted, travel demand could be unpredictable and could remain so for a significant period. Adverse changes in the perceived or actual economic climate, including higher unemployment rates, declines in income levels, inflation, recession and loss of personal wealth whether or not resulting from the impact of a future Health Crisis may negatively affect travel demand for a prolonged period.
Our success and results of operations depend, in substantial part, upon the health of the worldwide vacation ownership and leisure travel industries, and may be adversely affected by a number of factors that can disrupt or deter travel. A substantial amount of our sales activity occurs at our resorts, and sales volume is affected by the number of visitors at our resorts. Fear of exposure to contagious illnesses, natural or man-made disasters, the physical effects of climate change, such as more frequent or severe storms, droughts, hurricanes, wildfires, erosion and flooding, weakened consumer confidence, limited availability or increased costs of consumer credit and damage to infrastructure caused by natural or man-made disasters and other causes that impede travel have caused, and may in the future cause, travelers to delay or cancel plans to tour or visit our resorts. For example, hurricanes and wildfires have caused a number of Interval International exchange network resorts and our managed vacation ownership resorts to close for prolonged periods. The 2023 wildfires in Maui also resulted in the temporary closure of our resorts and sales centers in Maui, which had an adverse effect on our business and results of operations for 2023 and 2024. At times, beach access at our resorts and our managed resorts has been impeded by weather conditions or due to the effects of erosion. Actual or threatened war, civil unrest and terrorist activity, as well as heightened travel security measures instituted in response to the same, could also interrupt or deter travel plans. In addition, demand for our products and services may decrease if the cost of travel, including the cost of transportation and fuel, increases, airlift to vacation destinations decreases, airline or airport disruptions, flight cancellations or unreliability of various modes of transportation increases, or if general economic conditions decline.
Inflation can adversely affect us by increasing the costs of carrying unsold inventory, development and other corporate capital expenditures, materials and labor, service contracts, insurance, technology and related hardware or equipment, and interest rates. All of these factors can decrease the affordability of our products and services. In a high inflationary environment, we may be unable to raise the price of our products and services in a proportional manner, which could reduce our operating margins, including in our financing business, and negatively impact our results or operations. In addition, an increase in the cost of capital, labor and materials could have an adverse impact on our business or financial results. Inflation could also have an indirect adverse impact on our business by making travel more expensive, increasing maintenance costs and fees for consumers and reducing consumer discretionary income.
We finance more than half of our VOI sales. While we adjust interest rates on our financing programs from time to time, such changes are typically not made in lockstep with the timing and magnitude of changes in broader market rates. As a result, our financing profit margin declined in 2023 and 2024 due to general market interest rate increases, and may decline again in the future. Increasing our financing rates could negatively impact VOI sales and financing propensity. However, if we are unable to increase our financing rates at the same rate as our costs of funds, our financing profits will be negatively impacted, as happened in 2023 and 2024.
We rely on a variety of marketing techniques, including digital marketing (e-mail), telemarketing, postal mailings, websites and social media. Adoption of new laws, or changes in existing laws, in any of the jurisdictions in which we operate regulating marketing and solicitation or data protection could adversely affect the effectiveness of our marketing strategies. For example, in the U.S., California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). The CCPA provides California consumers with certain access, deletion and opt-out rights related to their personal information, imposes civil penalties for violations and affords, in certain cases, a private right of action for data breaches. Similar legislation has been proposed or adopted in other states. In addition, foreign data protection, privacy, consumer protection, content regulation and other laws and regulations may be more restrictive or burdensome than those in the United States. For example, the European Union (“E.U.”) General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) imposes significant obligations on businesses that sell products or services to E.U. customers or otherwise control or process personal data of E.U. residents. Complying with the GDPR or other laws and regulations could subject us to increased costs; and our failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in significant fines, litigation, losses, third-party damages and other liabilities, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our brands, marketing, reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. The cost of our compliance with privacy laws has increased and may continue to increase as laws change and we expand into new jurisdictions. If we are not able to develop adequate alternative marketing strategies, our sales may be adversely affected. We also obtain access to potential customers from travel service providers and other companies.companies, including our licensors. If our access to these third-party customer lists is prohibited or restricted, our ability to attract new customers could be impaired.
We use, and are expanding our use of, machine learning and AI technologies in our products and processes. If we fail to keep pace with rapidly evolving AI technological developments, our competitive position and business results may be negatively impacted. Our use of AI technologies requires resources to develop, test and maintain such products, which is costly.costly and may be subject to delays. We may not achieve our objectives from these efforts. In addition, third parties may be more successful in the use of AI or create technologies that could require us to change how we currently operate certain of our businesses.
The introduction of AI technologies, particularly generative AI, into new or existing offerings may result in new or expanded risks and liabilities,liabilities due to enhanced governmental scrutiny, litigation, compliance issues, ethical concerns, confidentiality, data privacy or security risks, as well as other factors that could adversely affect our business, reputation, and financial results. If the content, analyses, or recommendations that AI applications assist in producing are, or are alleged to be, deficient, inaccurate, unreliable, misleading, biased, discriminatory or otherwise flawed, any of which may not be easily detectable, our business and reputation may be adversely affected. Use of AI technologies, and the evolving legal, regulatory and compliance framework for AI, could impact our ability to protect our data and intellectual property, as well as vendor and client information, and could expose us to intellectual property or other claims by third parties. Use of AI technologies may also increase risks related to cyberattacks or other security incidents or result in a failure to protect confidential information. Because AI technology is highly complex and rapidly developing, it is not possible to predict all of the legal, operational or technological risks that may arise relating to AI.
If third-parties do not comply with their contractual obligations to us our financial condition, results of operations, internal controls over financial reporting and stock price could be materially and adversely affected.
We rely on various third parties, including suppliers, service providers, and business partners, to fulfill contractual obligations that are critical to our operations. For example, we have outsourced certain corporate functions, including a significant portion of our global technology, finance and accounting, and human resources functions to third-party service providers and shared service centers. While these actions are intended to streamline operations and improve scalability, at times they have resulted in disruptions, increased transition costs, delays in service delivery and disputes with vendors and we may experience similar or more severe issues in the future. Additionally, such initiatives may lead to the loss of institutional knowledge, reduced employee morale, or increased attrition, including among key personnel. We may increase our reliance on third-party providers to deliver critical services and any failure by these providers to perform their contractual obligations, or any disruption in our ability to manage or transition these services effectively, could adversely affect our internal controls, compliance functions, or overall business operations. Furthermore, these initiatives may expose us to additional risks, including data security vulnerabilities, regulatory compliance challenges across jurisdictions and reputational harm. If we are unable to successfully execute and manage these third-party relationships, our financial condition, results of operations, internal controls over financial reporting and stock price could be materially and adversely affected.
A series of Spanish court rulings starting in 2015 (“2015 Rulings”) increased our exposure to litigation that may materially adversely affect our business and financial condition. These rulings voided certain timeshare contracts entered into after January 1999 related to certain resorts in Spain if a resort’s timeshare structure did not meet requirements prescribed by Spanish timeshare laws enacted in 1998, even if the structure was lawful prior to 1998 and adapted pursuant to mechanisms specified in the 1998 laws. These rulings have led to an increase in lawsuits by owners seeking to void timeshare contracts in Spain, including lawsuits by owners at certain of our resorts in Spain which are currently pending. However, the Supreme Court of Spain has not yet substantively opined on the issue as it pertains to the Company’s timeshare contracts. If the Supreme Court of Spain rules adversely to us and determines that our timeshare contracts are voidable, that may materially adversely affect the results of operations of our Vacation Ownership segment, as well as our business and financial condition. Defending these lawsuits has required, and may continue to require, the Company to incur legal fees and reserve for judgments. Under recently enacted legislation, effective April 4, 2025, existing timeshare owners will have five years to bring lawsuits based on the 2015 Rulings to void their timeshare contracts, after which time such claims will no longer be recognized. Damages recoverable for claims brought during the five-year period will be reduced by the market value of the benefits the owners received or were entitled to receive under their timeshare contracts. Owners who purchase after April 4, 2025, will not be entitled to make claims under the 2015 Rulings. If additional owners at our resorts in Spain file similar lawsuits, this may void certain of those owners’ timeshare contracts; cause us to incur material litigation and other costs, including judgment or settlement payments; and materially adversely affect the results of operations of our Vacation Ownership segment, as well as our business and financial condition. The ability for owners of Spanish timeshares to void their contracts has negatively impacted other developers with resorts in Spain and led to a decrease in the number of resorts located in Spain in the Interval Network with active sales and the loss of members who own VOIs at those resorts.
Our businesses will be adversely impacted if they cannot compete effectively in their respective industries, each of which is highly competitive. A number of highly competitive companies participate in the vacation ownership industry. Our brands compete with the vacation ownership brands of major hotel chains in national and international venues, as well as with the vacation rental options (such as hotels, resorts and condominium or apartment rentals) offered by the lodging industry. Our competitors may have greater access to capital resources and broader marketing, sales and distribution capabilities than we do. Competitive pressures may cause us to reduce our fee structure or potentially modify our business models, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A series of Spanish court rulings starting in 2015 (“2015 Rulings”) increased our exposure to litigation that may materially adversely affect our business and financial condition. These rulings voided certain timeshare contracts entered into after January 1999 related to certain resorts in Spain if a resort’s timeshare structure did not meet requirements prescribed by Spanish timeshare laws enacted in 1998, even if the structure was lawful prior to 1998 and adapted pursuant to mechanisms specified in the 1998 laws. These rulings led to an increase in lawsuits by owners seeking to void timeshare contracts in Spain, including lawsuits by owners at certain of our resorts in Spain which are currently pending. In November 2025, the Supreme Court of Spain overturned the 2015 Rulings and thereby eliminated the principal legal grounds on which the contract cancellation cases had been brought. Lesser remedies, including monetary damages, remain available for certain claims based on alleged errors or omissions in, or tardy delivery of, contract documents. The Supreme Court’s decision was based in part on legislation effective April 4, 2025 that placed a five-year limitation on the filing of new cancellation cases and reduced the scope of available remedies. A subsequent decision of the Supreme Court, issued in January 2026, overturned another legal theory previously relied upon by owners seeking to void their contracts. Cases filed prior to the Supreme Court’s November 2025 and January 2026 decisions remain pending, including cases filed against us, and insufficient time has passed since the issuance of those decisions for us to predict the likely outcomes, in light of that ruling, of pending or future cases against us. Currently pending cases and any cases filed in the future have caused and could continue to cause us to incur material litigation and other costs, including judgment or settlement payments; and materially adversely affect the results of operations of our Vacation Ownership segment, as well as our business and financial condition. The ability for owners of Spanish timeshares to void their contracts has negatively impacted other developers with resorts in Spain and led to a decrease in the number of resorts located in Spain in the Interval Network with active sales and the loss of members who own VOIs at those resorts.
We are subject to audit in various jurisdictions, and these jurisdictions may assess additional taxes against us. Developments in an audit, litigation, or laws, regulations, administrative practices, principles, and interpretations could have a material effect on our operating results or cash flows. An unfavorable outcome from any tax audit could result in higher tax costs,expense, penalties and interest, and could materially and adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
Concentration of some of our resorts, sales centers and exchange destinations in particular geographic areas exposes our business to the effects of severenatural weatheror andman-made otherdisasters regionalor eventsadverse economic conditions in these areas.
Our business is susceptible to the effects of natural or man-made disasters, including earthquakes, windstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, floods, drought, fires, oil spills, erosion and nuclear incidents, in the areas where some of our resorts, sales centers and exchange destinations are concentrated, such as Florida, California, South Carolina and Hawaii. Properties in these markets have had to close in the past, including for extended periods, in order to repair or assess damage caused by disasters. For example, we temporarily closed our resorts and sales centers in 2023 as a result of wildfires in Maui. Depending on the severity of future disasters, the resulting damage could require closure of all or substantially all of our properties in one or more of these markets while we complete repairs, restoration or renovations. Our insurance may not cover all damages caused by any such event, including the loss of sales of VOIs at sales centers that are not fully operational. In 2023, our cost to insure our properties in these areas increased significantly. Our insurance costs may rise again and coverage levels may decrease for properties in these areas as a result of the number and magnitude of recent natural disasters in these areas.
We have expanded in part through acquisitions of other businesses and may continue to do so in the future. Our acquisition strategy depends on our ability to identify, and the availability of, suitable acquisition candidates. We may incur costs in connection with proposed acquisitions, but may ultimately be unable or unwilling to consummate any particular proposed transaction for various reasons. In addition, acquisitions involve numerous risks, including risks that we will not be able to: successfully integrate acquired businesses in an efficient and cost-effective manner; properly measure or identify all risks associated with the acquisition; achieve anticipated benefits of an acquisition, including expected synergies; control potential increases in operating costs; manage geographically remote operations; successfully expand our system of internal controls or our technological infrastructure to include an acquired business; avoid potential disruptions in ongoing operations during an acquisition process or integration efforts; successfully enter markets in which we have limited or no direct experience, including foreign markets whose practices or laws may pose increased risk; and retain key employees, clients, vendors and business partners of the acquired businesses. Failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of any acquisition may adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and prospects. Acquisitions may also significantly increase our debt or result in dilutive issuances of our equity securities, impairments of assets or substantial amortization expenses associated with other intangible assets.
Acquisitions may also significantly increase our debt or result in dilutive issuances of our equity securities, impairments of assets or substantial amortization expenses associated with other intangible assets. For example, we have not achieved all of the anticipated benefits from the ILG Acquisition or the Welk Acquisition, and have incurred unanticipated expenses and impairment charges in 2024 and 2025 related to inventory.
Our accounting policies are critical to the manner in which we present our results of operations and financial condition. Many of these policies, including policies relating to the recognition of revenue, determination of cost of sales and evaluation of our assets for impairment, are highly complex and involve many assumptions, estimates and judgments. We review thesenumerous assumptions, estimates and judgments which we regularly review and revise themas when necessary.needed. Our actual results of operations vary from period to period based on revisions to these estimates. For example, higher loan delinquencies or defaults have caused us to increase and in the future could lead to annew increaseincreases in our estimated reserve for vacation ownership notes receivable. In addition, changes to our assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of our assets or actual operating results that are lower than our current estimates could result in impairment losses and require us to write off all or a portion of our assets. For example, in 2025, we incurred $577 million in impairment losses in the aggregate. See the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section of Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further information. In addition, the regulatory bodies that establish accounting and reporting standards, including the SEC and the Financial Accounting Standards Board, periodically revise or issue new financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Changes to these standards or their interpretation could significantly impact our reported results in future periods. See Footnote 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our Financial Statements for more information regarding changes in accounting standards that we recently adopted or expect to adopt in the future.
Companies are facing increasing and frequently evolving scrutiny globally from customers, regulators, investors, employees and other stakeholders related to their environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) practices and disclosure.disclosure as expectations for, and support or criticism of, such matters continues to evolve.

Increased ESG-related compliance costs could increase our overall operational costs. Failure to adapt to or comply with regulatory requirements or investor or other stakeholder expectations and standards could increase the risk of antidiscrimination lawsuits and customer backlash, negatively impact our reputation, ability to do business with certain partners, sales and stock price, and result in penalties. New government regulations could also result in new or more stringent forms of ESG oversight and expanding mandatory and voluntary reporting, diligence, and disclosure. Our corporate responsibility initiatives and goals are based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve and assumptions that are subject to change in the future. As we report on our corporate responsibility initiatives or goals, we may be subject to heightened reputational and operational risk and compliance costs related to these matters. Our control over resorts and properties that we manage is generally limited by the terms of the applicable management agreements. As a result, our ability to achieve some or all of our corporate responsibility initiatives or goals may be limited without additional support or action by the owners’ associations of the vacation ownership resorts and properties we manage. Complying with increased regulations could increase our costs and adversely impact our results of operations. Our inability or failure to meet, or the perceived failure to meet, such stakeholders’ expectations, as well as adverse incidents, could negatively impact our stock price, results of operations, or reputation and increase our cost of capital.
Our success depends, in part, on our relationships with Marriott International and Hyatt. These relationships are governed by various agreements, including long-term license agreements that expire between 2090 and 2095, subject to renewal. However, if we breach our obligations under a license agreement and remainfail in breach after the applicable notice andto cure period,such breach, or if our properties do not meet brand standards, the applicable licensor may be entitled to terminate the license agreement and our rights to use its brands.brands In addition, if any of our properties does not meet applicable brand standards, the applicable licensor can terminate our right to use itsand trademarks at the subject properties.
The termination of our license agreements with Marriott International, Hyatt or their affiliates wouldcould materially harm our business and results of operations and materially impair our ability to market and sell our products and maintain our competitive position, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our inability to rely on the strength of the Marriott, Sheraton, Westin, or Hyatt brands to attract qualified prospects in the marketplace would likely cause our results of operations to decline and our marketing and sales expenses to increase. Our inability to market to guests in hotels affiliated with our licensors that are located near one of our sales locations or maintain our marketing relationships with Marriott International or Hyatt reservation centers would likely cause our sales to decline, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we would not be able to use the brand websites as channels through which to rent available inventory, which wouldcould cause our rental revenue to decline materially.
We may enter into capital-efficient transactions to source inventory in which third parties agree to deliver completed units in the future to us at pre-agreed prices. These transactions expose us to additional risk as we will not control development activities or timing of development completion. If our counterparties default on their obligations, or exercise their right to sell inventory to a different buyer, we may not acquire the inventory we expect on time or at all, or it may not be within agreed upon specifications. If we cannot obtain inventory from alternative sources on a timely basis, we may not be able to achieve sales forecasts. Conversely, if we procure or commit to procure inventory based on an expected sales plan and fail to achieve that plan, we could have excess inventory, potentially negatively impacting our margins and results of operations.
In connection with our vacation ownership business, we provide loans to purchasers to finance their purchase of VOIs. Accordingly, we are subject to the risk that those borrowers may default on the financing that we provide. The risk of borrower defaults may increase due to man-made or natural disasters, inflation, recessions or other economic downturns that cause financial hardship for borrowers. In the past, we have experienced increased defaults as a result of economic downturns. Certain of our borrowers have been impacted by man-made and natural disasters, including the recent wildfires near Los Angeles. However, at this time, we cannot quantify the effect the wildfires near Los Angeles may have on borrower defaults.disasters. The risk of borrower defaults may also increase if we do not evaluate accurately the creditworthiness of the customers to whom we extend financing or due to the influence of timeshare relief firms. Borrower defaults have caused, and may continue to cause, us to foreclose on vacation ownership notes receivable and reclaim ownership of the financed interests, both for loans that we have not securitized and in our role as servicer for the vacation ownership notes receivable we have securitized through the ABS market or the Warehouse Credit Facility. If default rates for our borrowers increase, we have been required, and may in the future be required, to increase our reserve on vacation ownership notes receivable, which would adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows.
We may continue to enter into capital-efficient transactions to source inventory in which third parties agree to deliver completed units in the future to us at pre-agreed prices. These transactions expose us to additional risk as we will not control development activities or timing of development completion. If our counterparties default on their obligations, or exercise their right to sell inventory to a different buyer, we may not acquire the inventory we expect on time or at all, or it may not be within agreed upon specifications. If we cannot obtain inventory from alternative sources on a timely basis, we may not be able to achieve sales forecasts. Conversely, if we procure or commit to procure inventory based on an expected sales plan and fail to achieve that plan, we could have excess inventory, potentially negatively impacting our margins and results of operations.
Selling VOIs in a system of resorts under a points-based business model increases the risk of temporary inventory depletion. Currently, our VOI sales are made primarily through a limited number of trust entities that issue VOIs. These structures can lead to a temporary depletion of inventory available for sale caused by: (1) delayed delivery of inventory under construction by us or third parties; (2) delayed receipt of required governmental registrations of inventory for sale; or (3) significant unanticipated increases in sales pace. If the inventory available for sale for a particular trust were to be depleted before new inventory is added and available for sale, we wouldmay be required to temporarily suspend sales until inventory is replenished orreplenished, shift to selling an alternative product,product or buy additional inventory at a higher cost, which mayhappened increasein marketingThailand andin sales costs and lower volume per guest (“VPG”).2025. Our efforts to avoid the risk of temporary inventory depletion by maintaining a surplus supply of completed inventory based on our forecasted sales pace, and by employing other mitigation strategies such as accelerating completion of resorts under construction, acquiring VOIs on the secondary market, or reducing sales pace by adjusting prices or sales incentives, may not be successful. A depletion of VOI inventory could decrease our financing revenues generated from purchasers of VOIs and fee revenues generated by providing club, management, exchange, sales, and marketing services. In addition, any temporary suspension of sales due to lack of inventory could reduce our cash flow and have a negative impact on our results of operations.
Our project development activities entail risks that may cause project delays or increased project costs and therefore may adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. These risks include construction delays or cost overruns; shortages of skilled labor; claims for construction defects, including claims by purchasers and owners’ associations; the discovery of hazardous or toxic substances, or other environmental, culturally-sensitive, or related issues; an inability to timely obtain required governmental permits and authorizations; compliance with zoning, building codes and other local regulations; performance by third parties involved in the financing and development of our projects; the cost or availability of raw materials; and interference of weather-related, geological or other events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, fires, and volcanic eruptions.
Our project development activities entail risks that may cause project delays or increased project costs and therefore may adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, including:
•construction delays or cost overruns;
•shortages of skilled labor;
•claims for construction defects, including claims by purchasers and owners’ associations;
•the discovery of hazardous or toxic substances, or other environmental, culturally-sensitive, or related issues;

Owners of our VOIs are required to pay maintenance fees to maintain and refurbish the vacation ownership properties and keep them in compliance with brand standards. If a resort fails to comply with applicable brand standards, the applicable licensor could terminate our rights to use its trademarks at the resort, which could result in the loss of management fees, decreased customer satisfaction, and impairment ofimpair our ability to market and sell our products at the non-compliant locations. Increases in maintenance fees to keep pace with operating expenses, maintenance and other costs may make our products less desirable, which could negatively impact sales and cause an increase in defaults on our vacation ownership notes receivable portfolio. If the owners’ associations that we manage are unable to collect sufficient maintenance fees to cover operating and maintenance costs, the related resorts may have to close or file for bankruptcy, which may result in termination of our management agreements. We may also lose resort management contracts if they are not renewed when they expire, or the contract terms may be renegotiated in a manner adverse to us. The loss or renegotiation of a significant number of our management contracts may adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations.
As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had approximately $3$3.6 billion of total corporate indebtedness outstanding and could borrow an additional $607$787 million under a revolving corporate credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $750$800 million (the “Revolving Corporate Credit Facility”). The credit agreement that governs our corporate credit facility (“Corporate Credit Facility”) and the indentures that govern our various senior notes impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, which among other things limit our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to incur debt, pay dividends and make other restricted payments, make loans and investments, incur liens, sell assets, enter into affiliate transactions, enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of their assets. The Corporate Credit Facility also requires us to not exceed a maximum first lien leverage ratio and maintain a specifiedminimum leverageinterest coverage ratio. These restrictions could restrict our flexibility to react to changes in our businesses, industries and economic conditions and increase borrowing costs.
In addition, our credit ratings will impact the cost and availability of future borrowings and, accordingly, our cost of capital. DowngradesThe Company has experienced ratings downgrades in the past, including being downgraded to ‘B+’ by S&P in 2025. Additional downgrades in our ratings could adversely affect our businesses, cash flows, financial condition, operating results and share and debt prices, as well as our ability to meet our obligations under our capital efficient inventory acquisitions.
We may be required to raise additional capital to refinance our existing debt, or to expand or support our operations. For example, during 2025, we issued $575 million aggregate principal amount of 6.500% Senior Notes due 2033 to raise the funds necessary to repay our convertible notes maturing in 2026. Our access to and cost of financing will depend on, among other things, global economic conditions, conditions in the global financing markets, the availability of sufficient amounts of financing, our prospects and our credit ratings, and the outlook for our industry as a whole. The terms of future debt agreements could include more restrictive covenants or require incremental collateral, which may further restrict our business operations or adversely affect our ability to obtain additional financing. There is no guarantee that debt or equity financings will be available in the future on terms favorable to us or at all. If we are unable to access additional funds on acceptable terms, we may have to adjust our business operations, and our ability to acquire additional vacation ownership inventory, repurchase VOIs, or make other investments in our business could be impaired, any of which may adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations.
We and our subsidiaries may incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, including secured indebtedness, as well as obligations that do not constitute indebtedness as defined in our debt agreements. To the extent that we and our subsidiaries incur additional indebtedness or such other obligations, the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness described above will increase.
The way we account for our convertible notes may impact our financial results and the market price of our common stock. For example, in 2022, we adopted a new accounting standard that requires the use of the “if-converted” method for calculating diluted earnings per share, which resulted in the reduction of our reported diluted earnings per share. See Footnote 16 “Debt” and Footnote 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our Financial Statements for additional information regarding the accounting for our convertible notes.
Our stock price may be volatile and your investment in our common stock could lose value.
Our stock price and trading volume are subject to changes, which may be significant, due to our financial results and operating performance and recommendations or earnings estimates by securities analyst and investors, as well as changes in economic, political and market conditions, including changes that affect demand for travel and consumer discretionary spending, such as inflationary pressures, health crises, acts of war and terrorism, and other factors unrelated to our financial results and operating performance. Speculation in the press or investment community about our business and results of operation can also cause changes in our stock price and trading volume. Many of these factors are out of our control. A significant drop in our stock price could expose us to the risk of securities class action lawsuits, which may result in substantial expense and divert management’s attention and resources, which may adversely affect our business.
We may not declare or pay dividends in the future at any particular rate or at all. Our Board makes all decisions regarding our payment of dividends, subject to an evaluation of our financial condition, results of operations and capital requirements, as well as applicable law, regulatory and contractual constraints, industry practice and other business considerations that our Board considers relevant. Certain of the agreements governing our indebtedness restrict our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends, and the terms of agreements governing debt that we may incur in the future may also limit or prohibit dividend payments. The payment of certain cash dividends has and may in the future result in an adjustment to the conversion rate of the Convertible Notes and related warrants in a manner adverse to us. We may not have sufficient surplus under Delaware law to be able to pay dividends, which may result from extraordinary cash expenses, actual expenses exceeding contemplated costs, funding of capital expenditures or increases in reserves.

Our Vacation Ownership segment generates most of its revenues from four primary sources: selling vacation ownership products; managing vacation ownership resorts, clubs and owners’ associations; financing consumer purchases of vacation ownership products; and renting vacation ownership inventory.
Our Exchange & Third-Party Management segment includes an exchange network and membership programs, as well as the provision of management services to other resorts and lodging properties. Exchange & Third-Party Management revenue generally is fee-based and derived from membership, exchange and rental transactions, property and owners’ association management, and other related products and services. We provide these services through our Interval International and Aqua-Aston businesses. In April 2022, we disposed of VRI Americas after determining that the business was not a core component of our future growth strategy and operating model. This business was a component of our Exchange & Third-Party Management segment through the date of the sale.
Corporate and other represents thatthe portion of our results that are not allocable to our segments, including those relating to Consolidated Property Owners’ Associations.
Significant Accounting Policies Used in Describing Results of Operations
We recognize revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products (also referred to as “VOIs”) when control of the vacation ownership product is transferred to the customer and the transaction price is deemed collectible, which typically correlates to expiration of the statutory rescission period.
We recognize revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products (also referred to as “VOIs”) when control of the vacation ownership product is transferred to the customer and the transaction price is deemed collectible. Based upon the different terms of our contracts with the customer and business practices, control of the vacation ownership product has historically transferred to the customer at different points in time for each brand of VOIs. In the third quarter of 2022 and the fourth quarter of 2024, we aligned our business practices and contract terms for the sale of vacation ownership products (the “Contract Alignments”), resulting in the prospective change in the timing of the transfer of control to the customer for Marriott-branded VOIs and Hyatt-branded VOIs derived from Legacy-Welk sales contracts, respectively. Prior to these changes, control transfer occurred at closing for these vacation ownership products. Subsequent to the Contract Alignments, transfer of control of these vacation ownership products occurs at expiration of the statutory rescission period, consistent with the historical timing of Sheraton-, Westin- and Hyatt- branded transactions. Marriott-branded VOIs and Hyatt-branded VOIs derived from Legacy-Welk sales contracts executed prior to the applicable Contract Alignment have been accounted for with the transfer of control of the VOI occurring at closing.
Sales of vacation ownership products may be made for cash or we may provide financing. In addition, we recognize settlement fees associated with the transfer of vacation ownership productsVOIs and commission revenues from sales of vacation ownership productsVOIs on behalf of third parties, which we refer to as “resales revenue.”
Finally, as more fully described in “Financing” below, we record the difference between the contract receivable or vacation ownership note receivable and the consideration to whichamount we expect to becollect entitledfrom debtors (also known as a vacation ownership notes receivable reserve or a sales reserve) as a reduction of revenues from the sale of vacation ownership productsVOIs at the time we recognize revenues from a sale.
We report, on a supplemental basis, contract sales for our Vacation Ownership segment. Contract sales consist of the total amount of vacation ownership productVOI sales under contract signed during the period where we have generally received a down payment of at least ten percent of the contract price, reduced by actual rescissions during the period, inclusive of contracts associated with sales of vacation ownership productsVOIs on behalf of third parties, which we refer to as “resales contract sales.” In circumstances where a customer applies any or all of their existing ownership interests as part of the purchase price for additional interests (also referred to as an equity upgrade), we include only the incremental value purchased as contract sales. Contract sales differ from revenues from the sale of vacation ownership productsVOIs that we report on our income statements due to the requirements for revenue recognition described above. We consider contract sales to be an important operating measure because it reflects the pace of sales in our business.
Cost of vacation ownership products includes costs to acquire, develop and construct our projects (also known as real estate inventory costs), other non-capitalizable costs associated with the overall project development process and settlement expenses associated with the closing process. For each project, we expense real estate inventory costs in the same proportion as the revenue recognized. Consistent with the applicable accounting guidance, to the extent there is a change in the estimated sales revenues or inventory costs for the project in a period, a non-cash adjustment is recorded on our income statements to true up costs in that period to those that would have been recorded historically if the revised estimates had been used. These true-ups, which we refer to as product cost true-up activity, can have a positive or negative impact on our income statements.
Management and exchange expenses include costs to operate the food and beverage outlets andoutlets, other ancillary operations and to provide overall customer support services, including reservations, and certain transaction-based expenses relating to third-party exchange service providers.
We offer financing to qualified customers for the purchase of most types of our vacation ownership products.VOIs. The typical financing agreement provides for monthly payments of principal and interest with the principal balance of the loan fully amortizing over the term of the related vacation ownership note receivable, which is generally ten to fifteen years. While we adjust interest rates on our financing programs from time to time, such changes are typically not made in lockstep with the timing and magnitude of changes in broader market rates. We may use incentives to encourage our customers to choose our financing. Included within our vacation ownership notes receivable are originated vacation ownership notes receivable and vacation ownership notes receivable acquired in connection with the ILG Acquisition and the Welk Acquisition.
In the event of a default, we generally have the right to foreclose on or revoke the underlying VOI. We return VOIs that we reacquire through foreclosure or revocation back to inventory. As discussed above, for originated vacation ownership notes receivable, we record a reserve at the time of sale and classify the reserve as a reduction to revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products on our Income Statements. Revisions to estimates that result in decreases or increases to the reserve for originated vacation ownership notes receivable can increase or decrease revenues, respectively. In contrast, for acquired vacation ownership notes receivable, we record changes to the reserve as an adjustment to Financing expenses on our Income Statements. See Footnote 5 “Vacation Ownership Notes Receivable” to our Financial Statements for further information.
As a result of the unification of our Marriott-, Sheraton- and Westin- branded vacation ownership products under the Abound by Marriott Vacations program and stabilization of the default rates, in the third quarter of 2022, we combined and aligned our reserve methodology for vacation ownership notes receivable for our Marriott, Sheraton and Westin brands. See Footnote 6 “Vacation Ownership Notes Receivable” to our Financial Statements for further information.
In our Vacation Ownership segment, we operate a rental business to provide owner flexibility and to help mitigate carrying costs associated with our inventory. We obtain rental inventory and generate revenue from rentals of inventory that we hold for sale as interests in our vacation ownership programs, inventory that we control because our owners have elected alternative usage options permitted under our vacation ownership programs and rentals of unregistered inventory and owned-hotel properties. We also recognize rental revenue from the utilization of plus points at redemption for rental stays at one of our resorts or other third-party offerings. For rental revenues associated with vacation ownership productsVOIs which we own and which are registered and held for sale, to the extent that the revenues from rental are less than costs, revenues are reported net of rental expenses in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 978, “Real Estate - Time-Sharing Activities” (“ASC 978”). The rental activity associated with discounted vacation packages requiring a tour (“preview stays”) is not included in transient rental metrics, and because the majority of these preview stays are sourced directly or indirectly from unsold inventory, the associated revenues and expenses are reported net in Marketing and sales expense.
Rental metrics, including the average daily transient rate or the number of transient keys rented, may not be comparable between periods given fluctuation in available occupancy by location, unit size (such as two bedroom, one bedroom or studio unit), owner use and exchange behavior, rental inventory on hand and keys allocated for preview stays. In addition, rental metrics may not correlate with rental revenues due to the requirement to report certain rental revenues net of rental expenses in accordance with ASC 978 (as discussed above). Further, as our ability to rent certain inventory may be limited on a site-by-site basis, rental operations may not generate adequate rental revenues to cover associated costs. Our Vacation Ownership segment units are either “full villas” or “lock-off” villas. Lock-off villas are units that can be separated into a primary unit and a guest room. Full villas are “non-lock-off” villas because they cannot be separated. A “key” is the lowest increment for reporting occupancy statistics based upon the mix of non-lock-off and lock-off villas. Lock-off villas represent two keys and non-lock-off villas represent one key. The “transient keys” metric represents the blended mix of inventory available for rent and includes all of the combined inventory configurations available in our resort system.
Cost reimbursements include direct and indirect costs that are reimbursed to us by owners’ associations and customers under management contracts.contracts, which costs are principally payroll-related costs at the locations where we employ the associates providing on-site services, costs associated with property refurbishments (including those where we act as the project manager), and insurance costs. All costs reimbursed to us by owners’ associations and customers, with the exception of taxes assessed by a governmental authority, are reported on a gross basis. We recognize cost reimbursements when we incur the related reimbursable costs. Cost reimbursements consist of actual expenses with no added margin.
Management uses the following key performance metrics to assess the Company’s operational efficiency and market competitiveness, identify trends, develop financial projections, and support strategic decision-making. Management continuously monitors and analyzes these metrics to help ensure that the Company remains responsive to changing market conditions and aligned with our long-term growth objectives. The definitions and methodologies of certain of these metrics may differ from those used by other companies, and as a result, these metrics may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
We measure operating performance using the key metrics described below:
•Contract sales from the sale of vacation ownership products is considered to be an important operating measure because itVOIs reflects the pace of sales in our business.
•Volume per guest (“VPG”) is calculated by dividingas consolidated vacation ownership contract sales, excluding fractional sales, telesales, resales, and other sales that are not attributed to a sales tour (referredcollectively, to“Tours”) as Tours, see below),divided by the number of toursTours inconducted aduring giventhe applicable period. We believe that VPG is valuablea inkey evaluatingdriver of profitability as it reflects both the average contract price and the effectiveness of the sales process as it combines the impact of average contract price with the number ofconverting touring guests whointo make a purchase.purchasers.

Management Priorities
Our management priorities for 2026 are centered on driving stronger profitability and improving cash flow. We are focused on reshaping the quality and composition of our tours, tightening our cost structure, and refining our global development strategy. We expect that delivering higher‑quality tours via various initiatives will increase VPGs while reducing default rates on newly originated vacation ownership notes receivable. For example, we are using FICO scores to pre-qualify prospective purchasers and focusing on increasing in-house capture rates, which has historically been one of our highest VPG channels. Additional priorities include reducing overhead, focusing on marketing and sales talent, delaying modernization projects to manage cash flow, monetizing certain non-core assets on our balance sheet, and managing maintenance fee increases for each of our vacation ownership products.
Asia Pacific Strategy Change
A key element of our revised strategy relates to our Asia Pacific business, where we have experienced lower returns than expected, partially due to higher defaults that are primarily driven by customers from newer source markets. To address these dynamics, we are scaling back growth expectations and right‑sizing our business in the region. This includes reducing tours for first‑time buyers in select countries, reducing headcount in the region, deferring the purchase of the next phase of our resort in Khao Lak, Thailand, and canceling a purchase commitment for inventory in Bali. Collectively, these actions are designed to concentrate our efforts on markets with the greatest potential to drive profitability and cash flow and resulted in Restructuring expense in our Vacation Ownership segment. We also recorded a non-cash impairment for vacation ownership units in Khao Lak, Thailand primarily attributed to the elongation of the pace of sales and changes in our marketing approach.
Development Strategy Change
As part of our broader financial strategic review, we conducted a comprehensive review to assess the strategic alignment of inventory and property and equipment within our North America vacation ownership business. This review focused on assessing inventory needs in light of our current inventory position and identifying opportunities to monetize non-core assets. The outcome of this review represented an indicator of impairment for certain assets. As a result of our impairment analysis, we recorded a non‑cash impairment related to assets associated with future phases of our existing resorts that we no longer plan to further develop. The carrying values of the assets associated with these resorts exceeded their estimated fair values because the carrying values included historical allocations of common infrastructure costs incurred when we built the resorts. In addition, we recorded a non-cash impairment related to certain property and equipment identified for disposition in our Vacation Ownership segment.
We expect to generate between $250 million and $300 million of net cash proceeds over a two year period from the disposition of certain non-core property and equipment and other assets, including $50 million from the disposition of the Cancun hotel in January 2026.
EBITDA, a financial measure that is not prescribed by GAAP, is defined as earnings, or net income or loss attributable to common stockholders, before interest expense, net (excluding consumer financing interest expense associated with term securitization transactions), income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA reflects additional adjustments for certain items, and excludes share-based compensation expense and amortization of cloud computing software implementation costs. Share-based compensation expense is excluded 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. During the first quarter of 2025, we began excluding amortization of cloud computing software implementation costs, which are not included in depreciation and amortization, from Adjusted EBITDA for comparability purposes to address the considerable variability among companies in the utilization of productive assets, and have reclassified prior year amounts to conform with our current year presentation.
For purposes of our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin calculations, we do not adjust for consumer financing interest expense associated with term securitization transactions because we consider it to be an operating expense of our business. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance, which we use to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, expand our business, and return cash to stockholders. We consider Adjusted EBITDA margin to be an indicator of our operating profitability.

We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an indicator of operating performance, which we use to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, expand our business, and return cash to stockholders. We consider Adjusted EBITDA margin to be an indicator of our operating profitability. We also use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, 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 provisions for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin also exclude depreciation and amortization as well as amortization of cloud computing software implementation costs because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating or amortizing productive assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful as indicators of operating performance and profitability, respectively, because they allow for period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing core operations before the impact of the excluded items. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin also facilitate comparisons by us, analysts, investors, and others of results from our ongoing core operations before the impact of these items with results from other companies.

Additionally, during 2025, we reclassified $6 million of certain amounts related to ongoing litigation from General and administrative expense to Litigation charges in order to conform our 2024 results with our current year presentation.
Commencing in 2026, interest expense associated with our Warehouse Credit Facility will be included as a component of Consumer financing interest expense within Financing expense. Interest expense on our Warehouse Credit Facility was $13 million and $10 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The table below shows our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculation and reconciles these measures with net income or loss attributable to common stockholders, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
(2) During the first quarter of 2025, we began excluding Amortization of cloud computing software implementation costs, which are not included in Depreciation and amortization, from Adjusted EBITDA, and have reclassified prior year amounts to conform with our current year presentation.
During the third quarter of 2023 and the second quarter of 2024, we discontinued classifying costs associated with the continued integration of ILG and Welk, respectively, in Transaction and integration costs. Further integration costs incurred after these periods are reflected in the operating results of each of our segments and/or General and administrative expenses.
The increase in Sale of vacation ownership products was primarily due to a decrease in our sales reserve reflecting the $70 million sales reserve adjustment (the “additional sales reserve”) recorded in the second quarter of 2024, which did not recur in 2025. Lower contract sales were partially offset by higher revenue reportability and financing propensity in 2025. First time buyer contract sales were flat on 1% higher tours. Owner contract sales declined 4% on lower VPG and tours.
Excluding the impact of the additional sales reserve recorded in the second quarter of 2024, our sales reserve as a percent of contract sales in 2025 is approximately 110 basis points higher than the prior year, reflecting our expectation that future defaults will be higher than those experienced prior to 2023. While our delinquency rates at December 31, 2025 have declined approximately 100 basis points compared to December 31, 2024, we do not expect to lower the sales reserve for new originations until we have sufficient, sustained evidence of continued improvement in delinquency and default rates.
Contract sales increased in 2024 due to a 7% increase in tours, partially offset by a 4% decline in VPG. The decrease in VPG was due to a larger percentage mix of international and North America first time buyer tours, both of which carry a lower VPG than existing owner tours. While existing owner VPG was in line with the prior year, first time buyer VPG declined 9%.
In the third quarter of 2023, we increased our vacation ownership notes receivable reserve to reflect then-current trends in delinquencies and default rates. We estimated the increase in our sales reserve primarily using information from a historical period of increased defaults. The $59 million additional reserve recorded in 2023 was the result of an adjustment to our future default rate estimate to reflect then-current macroeconomic conditions, including inflation outpacing wage growth, continuing high interest rates, mixed economic indicators and increased global insecurity.
During the second quarter of 2024, we increased our sales reserve by $70 million to reflect increases in expected cumulative loss rates for our vacation ownership notes receivable originated during 2021-2024. Consistent with our analysis in the third quarter of 2023, we considered the cumulative impact of inflation and mixed economic environment on delinquencies and default rates. We believed the related impact of higher than historical year-over-year increases in maintenance fees for 2023 and 2024 would continue to drive elevated delinquencies and defaults. As expected, maintenance fee increases for our points-based products for 2025, which were approved by the relevant property owners’ association, returned to levels consistent with historical experience. We have increased our sales reserve rate to reflect higher expected cumulative losses on new originations and do not expect to lower the sales reserve rate until we have sufficient evidence of improvement in delinquency and default rates.
The decreaseincrease in Development profit was due to the following:
•lowerhigher salesSale of vacation ownership products due to the increase in sales reserve (discussed above); and
•lower Cost of vacation ownership products due to the $13 million favorable impact of the additional sales reserve in 2024 partially offset by the sale of higher average cost inventory.
These were partially offset by:
•$10 million of higher costs for occupancy used for previews;
•higher preview costs attributed to a $26 million increase in cost of occupancy and $4 million for higher tours volume;
•$28 million increase in tour generation costs;
•$19$8 million of higher compensation due to inflationmarketing and higherother contract salescosts; and
•$6 million of higher salaries, wages and benefits for sales executives, including variable compensation.
Excluding the favorable impact of the additional sales reserve in 2024, both Cost of vacation ownership products and Cost of vacation ownership products as a percentage of sales were flat.
Excluding the impact of the additional sales reserve in 2024, Development profit decreased $49 million and Development profit margin decreased approximately 240 basis points in 2025.

During the second quarter of 2026, we continued to execute our previously described management priorities and made meaningful progress across our strategic, operational, and financial objectives. The following discussion provides an update on our progress.
•Improve profitability and cash flow by driving higher free cash flow conversion through disciplined execution, tighteroptimizing working capitalcapital, andmanaging capital spending, and focusingimproving onAdjusted EBITDA performance.
•We improved net income and Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the second quarter of 2025 and improved operating cash flow for the first half of 2026, shifting to cash provided by operating activities in 2026 from cash used in operating activities during the comparable period in 2025.
•Strengthen leadership and talent through onboarding new leadership with the external expertise to drive improvement in consistency and long-term growth execution. We have also retainedRetain key existing leadership and talent throughout the organization to ensurefacilitate continuity and retainretention of historical business knowledge.
•During the first half of 2026, we enhanced key leadership talent and capabilities and made targeted investments in our workforce. We believe these actions have strengthened our leadership bench, enhanced critical commercial capabilities across the organization, and supported the execution of our strategic and operational objectives. We will regularly evaluate our talent needs and organizational structure to help maintain the capabilities we believe are necessary to support long-term growth and value creation.

In the interim, we expect that marketing and sales expenses will remain higher than 2025 to support these new initiatives in the near-term.
•We have continued to onboard top-performing sales and marketing professionals while investing in innovation and industry-leading tools that we believe help our teams to operate more effectively and support long-term value creation.
•In the second quarter of 2026, we enhanced our Owner Benefit Levels, including by introducing new ownership tiers, providing exclusive access to deeper discounts for certain reservation types and additional onsite benefits when visiting the Marriott Vacation Clubs. We plan to continue to focus on creating more personalized, engaging and experience-driven vacations for our owners to elevate the owner experience.
•In the second quarter of 2026, we launched “Inner Circle,” a new owner-exclusive experiences platform offering access to private concerts, sporting events, culinary experiences and on-site events to owners of Marriott Vacation Club, Westin Vacation Club and Sheraton Vacation Club. Early owner participation and engagement levels have been favorable among those who have attended these events, providing evidence that these initiatives are resonating with our owner base.
•We expect the enhanced owner experience, new owner benefits and Inner Circle platforms to increase owner engagement and retention which we anticipate will generate increased referrals of potential new customers to support contract sales growth and higher VPG. We expect the financial benefits of these actions to grow in the second half of 2026 and continue into 2027 as we build a Tour pipeline that reflects these changes. We expect that marketing and sales expenses to decline as a percentage of Development revenue during the second half of 2026.
•As a result of these actions, Contract sales increased 22% and VPG increased 23% during the second quarter of 2026 over the comparable period in 2025 despite a 1% decline in Tours.
•Lower cost base by emphasizing operating discipline to drive improvedimprove cash flow through execution and cost management.
•We intend to continue to advance this priority through focused expense control, operational efficiencies, and disciplined management of working capital and capital expenditures. We believe these efforts contributed to a significant improvement in operating cash flow, which transitioned from cash used in operating activities during the comparable 2025 period to cash provided by operating activities in 2026.

•Our financing, management and exchange businesses continue to be high-margin, recurring revenue streams which contribute to earnings and cash flow generation, reinforcing the resilience of our business model and supporting our objective of delivering consistent financial performance across varying market conditions.
•Disciplined capital allocation to fund thehigh highest-returnreturn growth initiatives while prioritizing liquidity and balance sheet flexibility.
•We seek to balance investment in growth with maintaining liquidity and balance sheet flexibility. We are prioritizing initiatives that we believe have the greatest potential to drive long-term returns while maintaining the financial flexibility necessary to support our strategic objectives and navigate macroeconomic uncertainty.
•In July 2026, we amended certain agreements associated with our Warehouse Credit Facility to extend the revolving period from the second quarter of 2027 to the second quarter of 2028. The extension strengthens our liquidity profile and financial flexibility, while providing continued access to a key source of funding to support our strategic and operational objectives.
•Monetize non-core assets to generate proceeds and support our deleveraging and reinvestment priorities.
•While we continue to evaluate opportunities to monetize non-core assets as part of our capital allocation framework, recent increases in contract sales volume and improved sales trends have increased our inventory requirements to support anticipated future sales. As a result, we now expect to retain certain assets for operational use that we previously identified for potential disposition, reducing our near term estimated proceeds from non-core asset monetization but supporting future revenue generation and long-term value creation.
•MonetizeFollowing non-corethe decision to retain certain assets tofor operational use, we now expect that we will generate proceeds and support deleveraging and reinvestment priorities. By the end of 2027 we expect to generate betweenapproximately $200 million and $250 million of gross cash proceeds from the disposition of non-core assets Proceedsin 2026 and 2027. We realized proceeds of $50 million were realized in the first quarter of 2026 from the disposition of an entity that owned and operated a hotel in Cancun, Mexico and overwe $125expect to realize an additional $50 million of additional gross proceeds from dispositions are expected forduring the remainder of 2026.
•Optimize geographic mix by scaling back our operations in lower return areas, including our Asia Pacific business,areas to improve capital efficiency overall and future margins.
•As part of our previously announced Asia Pacific strategy, we reduced Tours to certain customers in select markets, aligned regional staffing levels with anticipated demand, and deferred the purchase of a future phase of our Khao Lak, Thailand resort development.
•During the second quarter of 2026, we decided to close our sales gallery in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This decision reflected the anticipated impact of heightened geopolitical uncertainty in the region on anticipated operating performance and our commitment to deploying capital in a manner that supports long-term value creation.

•Owner contract sales increased 41% reflecting a 33% increase in VPG and a 7% increase in owner Tours. These results reflect changes in our second quarter sales strategy to focus on existing owners upon the launch of our recent owner engagement initiatives and greater incremental purchase activity by existing owners.
•First time buyer contract sales decreased 16% driven by lower VPG and Tours. We continue to believe there is a significant long-term opportunity to expand our first time buyer base through targeted marketing, enhanced lead generation efforts, and continued refinement of our sales and customer acquisition strategies.
