Travel + Leisure Co. Reports Third Quarter 2021 Results and Increases Full Year 2021 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance

October 27, 2021 6:30am EDT

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Travel + Leisure Co. (NYSE:TNL), the world's leading membership and leisure travel company, today reported third quarter 2021 financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Highlights and outlook include:

  • Net income from continuing operations of $101 million ($1.15 diluted earnings per share) on net revenue of $839 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $228 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.19 (1)
  • Net cash provided by operating activities of $435 million and adjusted free cash flow of $128 million for the first nine months of 2021
  • Increased full year adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $740 million to $750 million and increased full year adjusted diluted EPS guidance to a range of $3.35 to $3.43
  • Management will recommend increasing the fourth quarter dividend to $0.35 per share for approval by the Board of Directors
  • On October 22, 2021, renewed $1 billion revolving credit facility and exited the amendment to the credit agreement
  • Executed $350 million term securitization on October 26, 2021

"Our cornerstone brands continued to demonstrate their strength in the third quarter as our businesses delivered adjusted EBITDA at or above our expectations," said Michael D. Brown, president and CEO of Travel + Leisure Co. "Robust sales volume per guest, combined with a continued focus on cost control, allowed us to deliver on the bottom line with strong margins."

"As we said last month, the desire for leisure travel has never been stronger. Bookings at our vacation ownership resorts for the remainder of the year are ahead of 2019 levels, clearly demonstrating that people are planning to get back on vacation, which will benefit all of our businesses as we close out the year."

(1) This press release includes adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted free cash flow, gross VOI sales and adjusted net income/(loss), which are metrics that are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"). See "Presentation of Financial Information" and the tables for the definitions and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Forward-looking non-GAAP measures are presented in this press release only on a non-GAAP basis because not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation is available without unreasonable effort.

Business Segment Results

The results of operations during the third quarter of 2021 and 2020 include impacts related to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Refer to Table 8 for a breakout of COVID-19 related impacts.

Vacation Ownership revenue increased 39% to $660 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year. Gross vacation ownership interest (VOI) sales were $440 million compared to $256 million in the prior year and tours were 129,000 during the quarter compared to 80,000 in the same period last year. Volume Per Guest (VPG) was $3,233 due to strong close rates and higher quality tours.

Third quarter adjusted EBITDA was $177 million compared to $93 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by higher Gross VOI sales due to the ongoing recovery of our operations from COVID-19 and cost savings initiated in the prior year, partially offset by lower net interest income as a result of a lower average contract receivable portfolio.

Third quarter 2021 results include an adjustment to the COVID-19 related allowance for loan losses, resulting in a $21 million increase to revenue and an $8 million increase to cost of vacation ownership interests, and yielding a net positive impact to Adjusted EBITDA of $13 million.

Travel and Membership revenue increased 28% to $185 million in the third quarter driven by a 32% increase in transactions. This reflects the third consecutive quarter of year over year transaction improvement as we continue to see the business recover from COVID-19.

Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA increased 10% to $68 million, driven by revenue improvement partially offset by higher operational support costs.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Net Debt - As of September 30, 2021, the Company's leverage ratio for covenant purposes was 4.2x. The Company had $3.4 billion of corporate debt outstanding as of September 30, 2021, which excluded $2.0 billion of non-recourse debt related to its securitized notes receivables portfolio. Additionally, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $346 million. At the end of the third quarter, the Company had $1.3 billion of liquidity in cash and cash equivalents and revolving credit facility availability.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company renewed its $1 billion revolving credit facility and extended the term through October 2026. In addition, this renewal terminated the relief period and restrictions regarding share repurchases, dividends and acquisitions under the first amendment.

Timeshare Receivables Financing- Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company closed on a $350 million term securitization transaction with a weighted average coupon of 1.82% and 98% advance rate.

Cash Flow- For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was $435 million, compared to $224 million in the prior year period. Adjusted free cash flow was $128 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $120 million in the same period of 2020.

Dividend- The Company paid $26 million ($0.30 per share) in cash dividends on September 30, 2021 to shareholders of record as of September 15, 2021. Management will recommend a fourth quarter dividend of$0.35per share for approval by the Company's Board of Directors in November 2021.

Outlook

The Company is updating its guidance regarding expectations for the 2021 full year:

  • Adjusted EBITDA of $740 million to $750 million from $725 million to $735 million
  • Adjusted diluted EPS of $3.35 to $3.43 from $3.24 to $3.30
  • Gross VOI sales of $1.45 billion to $1.5 billion from $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion
  • Tours of 440,000 to 450,000
  • VPG of approximately $3,000

This guidance is presented only on a non-GAAP basis because not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is available without unreasonable effort, primarily due to uncertainties relating to the occurrence or amount of these adjustments that may arise in the future.

Conference Call Information

Travel + Leisure Co. will hold a conference call with investors to discuss the Company's results and outlook today at 8:30 a.m. ET. Participants may listen to a simultaneous webcast of the conference call, which may be accessed through the Company's website at investor.travelandleisureco.com, or by dialing 866-342-8591, passcode TNL, 10 minutes before the scheduled start time. For those unable to listen to the live broadcast, an archive of the webcast will be available on the Company's website for 90 days beginning at 12:00 p.m. ET today. Additionally, a telephone replay will be available for four days beginning at 12:00 p.m. ET today at 800-695-1564.

Presentation of Financial Information

Financial information discussed in this press release includes non-GAAP measures such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted free cash flow, gross VOI sales, and adjusted net income/(loss), which include or exclude certain items, as well as non-GAAP guidance. The Company utilizes these non-GAAP measures, defined in Table 9, on a regular basis to assess performance of its reportable segments and allocate resources. These non-GAAP measures differ from reported GAAP results and are intended to illustrate what management believes are relevant period-over-period comparisons and are helpful to investors when considered with GAAP measures as an additional tool for further understanding and assessing the Company's ongoing operating performance by adjusting for items which in our view do not necessarily reflect ongoing performance. Management also internally uses these measures to assess our operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions. Exclusion of items in the Company's non-GAAP presentation should not be considered an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Full reconciliations of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for the reported periods appear in the financial tables section of the press release. See definitions on Table 9 for an explanation of our non-GAAP measures.

Note: Amounts may not calculate due to rounding. See Table 9 for definitions.

See "Presentation of Financial Information" and the tables for the definitions and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures in accordance with GAAP.

In connection with the Travel + Leisure brand acquisition we updated the names and composition of our reportable segments to better align with how they are managed. We created the Travel + Leisure Group which falls under the Travel and Membership segment along with the Panorama business line. With the formation of Travel + Leisure Group, we decided that the operations of our Extra Holidays business, which focuses on direct to consumer bookings, better aligns with the operations of this new business line and therefore transitioned the management of our Extra Holidays business to the Travel and Membership segment. As such, we reclassified the results of our Extra Holidays business, which were previously reported within the Vacation Ownership segment, into the Travel and Membership segment.

Amounts may not calculate due to rounding. The tables above reconcile certain non-GAAP financial measures to their closest GAAP measure. The presentation of these adjustments is intended to permit the comparison of particular adjustments as they appear in the income statement in order to assist investors' understanding of the overall impact of such adjustments. In addition to GAAP financial measures, the Company provides adjusted net income/(loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted diluted EPS to assist our investors in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for the current reporting period and, where provided, over different reporting periods, by adjusting for certain items which in our view do not necessarily reflect ongoing performance. We also internally use these measures to assess our operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions. These supplemental disclosures are in addition to GAAP reported measures. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, financial results and measures determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our presentation of adjusted measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. See "Presentation of Financial Information" and table 9 for the definitions of these non-GAAP measures.

(a)

Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets is excluded from adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted EBITDA.

(b)

Reflects severance and other employee costs associated with layoffs due to the COVID-19 workforce reduction offset in part by employee retention credits received in connection with the U.S. CARES Act, ARPA and similar international programs for wages paid to certain employees despite having operations suspended. This amount does not include costs associated with idle pay.

(c)

Includes $5 million of bad debt expense related to a note receivable for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, included in Operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income/(Loss).

(d)

The amounts represent the tax effects on the adjustments. In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the amounts are partially offset by $6 million of non-cash tax expense associated with COVID-19 related increases to valuation allowances.

(e)

All stock-based compensation is excluded from adjusted EBITDA.

Definitions

Adjusted Diluted Earnings/(Loss) per Share: A non-GAAP measure, defined by the Company as Adjusted net income/(loss) from continuing operations divided by the diluted weighted average number of common shares.

Adjusted EBITDA: A non-GAAP measure, defined by the Company as net income/(loss) from continuing operations before depreciation and amortization, interest expense (excluding consumer financing interest), early extinguishment of debt, interest income (excluding consumer financing revenues) and income taxes, each of which is presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes stock-based compensation costs, separation and restructuring costs, legacy items, transaction costs for acquisitions and divestitures, impairments, gains and losses on sale/disposition of business, and items that meet the conditions of unusual and/or infrequent. Legacy items include the resolution of and adjustments to certain contingent liabilities related to acquisitions of continuing businesses and dispositions, including the separation of Wyndham Hotels and Cendant, and the sale of the vacation rentals businesses. We believe that when considered with GAAP measures, Adjusted EBITDA is useful to assist our investors in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for the current reporting period and, where provided, over different reporting periods. We also internally use these measures to assess our operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income/(loss) or other income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP and our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin: A non-GAAP measure, represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow: A non-GAAP measure, defined by the Company as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less property and equipment additions (capital expenditures) plus the sum of proceeds and principal payments of non-recourse vacation ownership debt, while also adding back cash paid for transaction costs for acquisitions and divestitures, separation adjustments associated with the spin-off of Wyndham Hotels, and certain adjustments related to COVID-19. A limitation of using Adjusted free cash flow versus the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities as a means for evaluating TNL is that Adjusted free cash flow does not represent the total cash movement for the period as detailed in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Adjusted Net Income/(Loss): A non-GAAP measure, defined by the Company as net income/(loss) from continuing operations adjusted to exclude separation and restructuring costs, legacy items, transaction costs for acquisitions and divestitures, amortization of acquisition-related assets, debt modification costs, impairments, gains and losses on sale/disposition of business, and items that meet the conditions of unusual and/or infrequent and the tax effect of such adjustments. Legacy items include the resolution of and adjustments to certain contingent liabilities related to acquisitions of continuing businesses and dispositions, including the separation of Wyndham Hotels and Cendant, and the sale of the vacation rentals businesses.

Average Number of Exchange Members:Represents paid members in our vacation exchange programs who are current on their annual membership dues or within the allowed grace period.

Free Cash Flow (FCF): A non-GAAP measure, defined by TNL as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less property and equipment additions (capital expenditures) plus the sum of proceeds and principal payments of non-recourse vacation ownership debt. TNL believes FCF to be a useful operating performance measure to evaluate the ability of its operations to generate cash for uses other than capital expenditures and, after debt service and other obligations, its ability to grow its business through acquisitions and equity investments, as well as its ability to return cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. A limitation of using FCF versus the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities as a means for evaluating TNL is that FCF does not represent the total cash movement for the period as detailed in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Gross Vacation Ownership Interest Sales: A non-GAAP measure, represents sales of vacation ownership interests (VOIs), including sales under the fee-for-service program before the effect of loan loss provisions. We believe that Gross VOI sales provide an enhanced understanding of the performance of our vacation ownership business because it directly measures the sales volume of this business during a given reporting period.

Leverage Ratio: The Company calculates leverage ratio as net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA as defined in the credit agreement.

Net Debt: Net debt equals total debt outstanding, less non-recourse vacation ownership debt and cash and cash equivalents.

New owner sales, volume mix: Represents VOI sales (tour generated plus telephonic) to first time buyers as a percentage of total VOI sales.

New owner sales, transactions mix:Represents the number of first time buyer transactions as a percentage of the total number of VOIs sold during the period.

Tours: Represents the number of tours taken by guests in our efforts to sell VOIs.

Travel and Membership Revenue per Transaction: Represents transactional revenue divided by transactions, provided in two categories; Exchange, which is primarily RCI, and non-Exchange.

Travel and Membership Transactions: Represents the number of vacation bookings recognized as revenue during the period, net of cancellations, provided in two categories; Exchange, which is primarily RCI, and non-Exchange.

Volume Per Guest (VPG): Represents Gross VOI sales (excluding tele-sales upgrades, which are non-tour upgrade sales) divided by the number of tours. The Company has excluded non-tour upgrade sales in the calculation of VPG because non-tour upgrade sales are generated by a different marketing channel.
