REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Wyndham Worldwide Corporation
Parsippany, New Jersey
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Wyndham Worldwide Corporation and subsidiaries (the
Company) as of March 31, 2011, and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholders equity and
cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011
and 2010. These interim consolidated financial statements are
the responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
A review of interim financial information consists principally
of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of
persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to such consolidated interim
financial statements for them to be in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the
Company as of December 31, 2010, and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholders equity and
cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and
in our report dated February 21, 2011, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 is
fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

WYNDHAM
WORLDWIDE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unless otherwise noted, all amounts are in millions, except
share and per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (Wyndham or the
Company) is a global provider of hospitality
services and products. The accompanying Consolidated Financial
Statements include the accounts and transactions of Wyndham, as
well as the entities in which Wyndham directly or indirectly has
a controlling financial interest. The accompanying Consolidated
Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. All intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In presenting the Consolidated Financial Statements, management
makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based
on judgment and available information. Accordingly, actual
results could differ from those estimates. In managements
opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements contain all
normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
of interim results reported. The results of operations reported
for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent
interim period. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Companys 2010 Consolidated Financial
Statements included in its Annual Report filed on
Form 10-K
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on
February 22, 2011.
Business
Description
The Company operates in the following business segments:
|
|
|
|
·
|
Lodging
franchises hotels in the upper upscale,
upscale, upper midscale, midscale, economy and extended stay
segments of the lodging industry and provides hotel management
services for full-service hotels globally.
|
|
|
·
|
Vacation Exchange and Rentals
provides vacation
exchange services and products to owners of intervals of
vacation ownership interests (VOIs) and markets
vacation rental properties primarily on behalf of independent
owners.
|
|
|
·
|
Vacation Ownership
develops, markets and sells VOIs
to individual consumers, provides consumer financing in
connection with the sale of VOIs and provides property
management services at resorts.
|
Significant
Accounting Policies
Intangible Assets.
The Company reviews its
goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for
impairment annually (during the fourth quarter of each year
subsequent to completing its annual forecasting process), or
more frequently if circumstances prescribed by the guidance for
goodwill and other intangible assets are present.
Allowance for Loan Losses.
In the
Companys Vacation Ownership segment, the Company provides
for estimated vacation ownership contract receivable defaults at
the time of VOI sales by recording a provision for loan losses
as a reduction of VOI sales on the Consolidated Statements of
Income. The Company assesses the adequacy of the allowance for
loan losses based on the historical performance of similar
vacation ownership contract receivables using a technique
referred to as static pool analysis, which tracks defaults for
each years sales over the entire life of those contract
receivables. The Company considers current defaults, past due
aging, historical write-offs of contracts and consumer credit
scores (FICO scores) in the assessment of borrowers credit
strength and expected loan performance. The Company also
considers whether the historical economic conditions are
comparable to current economic conditions. If current conditions
differ from the conditions in effect when the historical
experience was generated, the Company adjusts the allowance for
loan losses to reflect the expected effects of the current
environment on the collectability of its vacation ownership
contract receivables.
Restricted Cash.
The largest portion of the
Companys restricted cash relates to securitizations. The
remaining portion is comprised of cash held in escrow related to
the Companys vacation ownership business and cash held in
all other escrow accounts. Restricted cash related to escrow
deposits was $50 million and $42 million as of
March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively,
and was recorded within other current assets on the Consolidated
Balance Sheets for each period. See Note 7Transfer
and Servicing of Financial Assets for details of the
Companys restricted cash related to securitizations.

Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.
In
October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
guidance on multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements, which
requires an entity to apply the relative selling price
allocation method and to estimate selling prices for all units
of accounting, including delivered items, when vendor-specific
objective evidence or acceptable third-party evidence does not
exist. The guidance is effective for revenue arrangements
entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on
or after June 15, 2010 and shall be applied on a
prospective basis. The Company adopted the guidance on
January 1, 2011, as required. There was no material impact
on the Consolidated Financial Statements resulting from the
adoption.
The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share
(EPS) is based on the Companys net income
available to common stockholders divided by the basic weighted
average number of common shares and diluted weighted average
number of common shares, respectively.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and
diluted EPS (in millions, except per share data):

the Companys common stock related to the May 2009 issuance
of the Companys convertible notes (see
Note 6Long-Term Debt and Borrowing Arrangements).
|
The computations of diluted EPS do not include 3 million
and 4 million stock options and stock-settled stock
appreciation rights (SSARs) for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, as the effect
of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to EPS. In
addition, the three months ended March 31, 2011 excludes
approximately 350,000 performance-based stock units
(PSUs) as the Company had not met the required
performance metrics as of March 31, 2011 (see
Note 13Stock-Based Compensation for further details).
Dividend
Payments
During the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010,
the Company paid cash dividends of $0.15 and $0.12 per share,
respectively ($27 million and $22 million,
respectively).
Stock
Repurchase Program
On August 20, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors
authorized a stock repurchase program that enables the Company
to purchase up to $200 million of its common stock and,
subsequently, on July 22, 2010, increased the authorization
by $300 million. As of December 31, 2010, under such
program, the Company repurchased 11,426,202 shares at an
average price of $25.78 for a cost of $295 million and
repurchase capacity increased $53 million from proceeds
received from stock option exercises. During the three months
ended March 31, 2011, the Company repurchased
5,651,596 shares at an average price of $30.62 for a cost
of $173 million and repurchase capacity increased
$6 million from proceeds received from stock option
exercises. As of March 31, 2011, the Company repurchased a
total of 17,077,798 shares at an average price of $27.38
for a cost of $468 million since the inception of its
current authorization in August 2007. The Company had
$92 million remaining availability in its program as of
March 31, 2011.

Credit
Quality for Financed Receivables and the Allowance for Credit
Losses
The basis of the differentiation within the identified class of
financed VOI contract receivable is the consumers FICO
score. A FICO score is a branded version of a consumer credit
score widely used within the U.S. by the largest banks and
lending institutions. FICO scores range from 300850 and
are calculated based on information obtained from one or more of
the three major U.S. credit reporting agencies that compile
and report on a consumers credit history. The Company
updates its records for all active VOI contract receivables,
regardless of balance, on a rolling monthly basis so as to
ensure that all VOI contract receivables are scored at least
every six months. The Company groups all VOI contract
receivables into four different categories: FICO scores ranging
from 700 to 850, 600 to 699, Below 600, and No Score (primarily
comprised of consumers for whom a score is not readily
available, including consumers
10
declining access to FICO scores and non U.S. residents).
The following table details an aged analysis of financing
receivables using the most recently updated FICO scores (based
on the update policy described above):

The total no score contract receivables balances of
$374 million and $369 million as of March 31,
2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, includes

The Company ceases to accrue interest on VOI contract
receivables once the contract has remained delinquent for
greater than 90 days. At greater than 120 days, the
VOI contract receivable is written off to the allowance for loan
losses. In accordance with its policy, the Company assesses the
allowance for loan losses using a static pool methodology and
thus does not assess individual loans for impairment separate
from the pool.

Debt Issuances
5.625% Senior Unsecured Notes.
On
March 1, 2011, the Company issued senior unsecured notes,
with face value of $250 million and bearing interest at a
rate of 5.625%, for net proceeds of $245 million. Interest
began accruing on March 1, 2011 and is payable
semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each
year, commencing on September 1, 2011. The notes will
mature on March 1, 2021 and are redeemable at the
Companys option at any time, in whole or in part, at the
stated redemption prices plus accrued interest through the
redemption date. These notes rank equally in right of payment
with all of the Companys other senior unsecured
indebtedness.
Sierra Timeshare
2011-1
Receivables Funding, LLC.
On March 25, 2011,
the Company closed a series of term notes payable, Sierra
Timeshare
2011-1
Receivables Funding LLC, in the initial principal amount of
$400 million at an advance rate of 98%. These borrowings
bear interest at a weighted average coupon rate of 3.70% and are
secured by vacation ownership contract receivables. As of
March 31, 2011, the Company had $400 million of
outstanding borrowings under these term notes.
3.50% Convertible
Notes
During May 2009, the Company issued convertible notes
(Convertible Notes) with face value of
$230 million and bearing interest at a rate of 3.50%.
Concurrent with such issuance, the Company purchased
cash-settled call options (Call Options) and entered
into warrant transactions (Warrants). The agreements
for such transactions contain anti-dilution provisions that
require certain adjustments to be made as a result of all
quarterly cash dividend increases above $0.04 per share that
occur prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes, Call
Options and Warrants. During March 2010, the Company increased
its quarterly dividend from $0.04 per share to $0.12 per share
and, subsequently, during March 2011, from $0.12 per share to
$0.15 per share. As a result of the dividend increase and
required adjustments, as of March 31, 2011, the Convertible
Notes had a conversion reference rate of 79.8541 shares of
common stock per $1,000 principal amount (equivalent to a
conversion price of $12.52 per share of the Companys
common stock), the conversion price of the Call Options was
$12.52 and the exercise price of the Warrants was $19.83.
During the third and fourth quarters of 2010, the Company
repurchased a portion of its Convertible Notes in the open
market, with a carrying value of $239 million
($101 million for the portion of Convertible Notes,
including the unamortized discount, and $138 million for
the related Bifurcated Conversion Feature). Concurrent with the
repurchase, the Company settled a related portion of the Call
Options and Warrants.
During the first quarter of 2011, the Company repurchased a
portion of its remaining Convertible Notes with carrying value
of $238 million primarily resulting from the completion of
a cash tender offer ($90 million for the portion of
Convertible Notes, including the unamortized discount, and
$148 million for the related Bifurcated Conversion Feature)
for $249 million, which resulted in a loss of
$11 million. Concurrent with the repurchases, the Company
settled (i) a portion of the Call Options for proceeds of
$147 million, which resulted in an additional loss of
$1 million, and (ii) a portion of the Warrants with
payments of $106 million. As a result of these
transactions, the Company made net payments of $208 million
and incurred total losses of $12 million during the first
quarter of 2011 and reduced the number of shares related to the
Warrants to approximately 1 million as of March 31,
2011.
Early
Extinguishment of Debt
During the first quarter of 2011, the Company repurchased a
portion of its Convertible Notes and settled a portion of the
related Call Options. In connection with these transactions, the
Company incurred a loss of $12 million during the first
quarter of 2011, which is included within interest expense on
the Consolidated Statement of Income.
During the first quarter of 2010, in connection with the early
extinguishment of the term loan facility, the Company
effectively terminated a related interest rate swap agreement.
This resulted in a reclassification of a $14 million
unrealized loss from accumulated other comprehensive income
(AOCI) to interest expense on the Consolidated
Statement of Income. The Company incurred an additional
$2 million of costs in connection with the early
extinguishment of its term loan and revolving foreign credit
facilities, which is also included within interest expense on
the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Covenants
The revolving credit facility is subject to covenants including
the maintenance of specific financial ratios. The financial
ratio covenants consist of a minimum consolidated interest
coverage ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0 as of the measurement date
and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio not to exceed 3.75 to
1.0 as of the measurement date. The consolidated interest
coverage ratio is calculated by dividing consolidated EBITDA (as
defined in the credit
13
agreement) by consolidated interest expense (as defined in the
credit agreement), both as measured on a trailing 12 month
basis preceding the measurement date. Consolidated interest
expense excludes, among other things, interest expense on any
securitization indebtedness (as defined in the credit
agreement). The consolidated leverage ratio is calculated by
dividing consolidated total indebtedness (as defined in the
credit agreement and which excludes, among other things,
securitization indebtedness) as of the measurement date by
consolidated EBITDA as measured on a trailing 12 month
basis preceding the measurement date. Covenants in this credit
facility also include limitations on indebtedness of material
subsidiaries; liens; mergers, consolidations, liquidations and
dissolutions; sale of all or substantially all assets; and sale
and leaseback transactions. Events of default in this credit
facility include failure to pay interest, principal and fees
when due; breach of a covenant or warranty; acceleration of or
failure to pay other debt in excess of $50 million
(excluding securitization indebtedness); insolvency matters; and
a change of control.
The 6.00% senior unsecured notes, 9.875% senior
unsecured notes, 7.375% senior unsecured notes,
5.75% senior unsecured notes and 5.625% senior
unsecured notes contain various covenants including limitations
on liens, limitations on potential sale and leaseback
transactions and change of control restrictions. In addition,
there are limitations on mergers, consolidations and potential
sale of all or substantially all of the Companys assets.
Events of default in the notes include failure to pay interest
and principal when due, breach of a covenant or warranty,
acceleration of other debt in excess of $50 million and
insolvency matters. The Convertible Notes do not contain
affirmative or negative covenants; however, the limitations on
mergers, consolidations and potential sale of all or
substantially all of the Companys assets and the events of
default for the Companys senior unsecured notes are
applicable to such notes. Holders of the Convertible Notes have
the right to require the Company to repurchase the Convertible
Notes at 100% of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest in
the event of a fundamental change, defined to include, among
other things, a change of control, certain recapitalizations and
if the Companys common stock is no longer listed on a
national securities exchange.
As of March 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with
all of the financial covenants described above.
Each of the Companys non-recourse, securitized term notes
and the bank conduit facility contain various triggers relating
to the performance of the applicable loan pools. If the vacation
ownership contract receivables pool that collateralizes one of
the Companys securitization notes fails to perform within
the parameters established by the contractual triggers (such as
higher default or delinquency rates), there are provisions
pursuant to which the cash flows for that pool will be
maintained in the securitization as extra collateral for the
note holders or applied to accelerate the repayment of
outstanding principal to the noteholders. As of March 31,
2011, all of the Companys securitized loan pools were in
compliance with applicable contractual triggers.

Transfer
and Servicing of Financial Assets
|
The Company pools qualifying vacation ownership contract
receivables and sells them to bankruptcy-remote entities.
Vacation ownership contract receivables qualify for
securitization based primarily on the credit strength of the VOI
purchaser to whom financing has been extended. Vacation
ownership contract receivables are securitized through
bankruptcy-remote SPEs that are consolidated within the
Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result, the Company does
not recognize gains or losses resulting from these
securitizations at the time of sale to the SPEs. Interest income
is recognized when earned over the contractual life of the
vacation ownership contract receivables. The Company services
the securitized vacation ownership contract receivables pursuant
to servicing agreements negotiated on an arms-length basis based
on market conditions. The activities of these SPEs are limited
to (i) purchasing vacation ownership contract receivables
from the Companys vacation ownership subsidiaries;
(ii) issuing debt securities
and/or
borrowing under a conduit facility to fund such purchases; and
(iii) entering into derivatives to hedge interest rate
exposure. The bankruptcy-remote SPEs are legally separate from
the Company. The receivables held by the bankruptcy-remote SPEs
are not available to creditors of the Company and legally are
not assets of the Company. Additionally, the creditors of these
SPEs have no recourse to the Company for principal and interest.

The assets and liabilities of these vacation ownership SPEs are

The guidance for fair value measurements requires disclosures
about assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value.
The following table presents information about the
Companys financial assets and liabilities that are
measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the
fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the
Company to determine such fair values. Financial assets and
liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed
in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active
markets.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active
markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in
markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose
inputs are observable or whose significant value driver is
observable.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs used when little or no market
data is available.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall
into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such
cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the
fair value measurement falls has been determined based on the
lowest level input (closest to Level 3) that is
significant to the fair value measurement. The Companys
16
assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair
value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and
considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Companys derivative instruments primarily consist of
the Call Options and Bifurcated Conversion Feature related to
the Convertible Notes, pay-fixed/receive-variable interest rate
swaps, interest rate caps, foreign exchange forward
17
contracts and foreign exchange average rate forward contracts
(see Note 9Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities for more detail). For assets and liabilities that are
measured using quoted prices in active markets, the fair value
is the published market price per unit multiplied by the number
of units held without consideration of transaction costs. Assets
and liabilities that are measured using other significant
observable inputs are valued by reference to similar assets and
liabilities. For these items, a significant portion of fair
value is derived by reference to quoted prices of similar assets
and liabilities in active markets. For assets and liabilities
that are measured using significant unobservable inputs, fair
value is primarily derived using a fair value model, such as a
discounted cash flow model.
The following table presents additional information about
financial assets which are measured at fair value on a recurring
basis for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to
determine fair value as of March 31, 2011:

The fair value of financial instruments is generally determined
by reference to market values resulting from trading on a
national securities exchange or in an
over-the-counter
market. In cases where quoted market prices are not available,
fair value is based on estimates using present value or other
valuation techniques, as appropriate. The carrying amounts of
cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables,
accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current
liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term
maturities of these assets and liabilities. The carrying amounts
and estimated fair values of all other financial instruments are
as follows:

The Company estimates the fair value of its vacation ownership
contract receivables using a discounted cash flow model which it
believes is comparable to the model that an independent third
party would use in the current market. The model uses default
rates, prepayment rates, coupon rates and loan terms for the
contract receivables portfolio as key drivers of risk and
relative value that, when applied in combination with pricing
parameters, determines the fair value of the underlying contract
receivables.
18
The Company estimates the fair value of its securitized vacation
ownership debt by obtaining indicative bids from investment
banks that actively issue and facilitate the secondary market
for timeshare securities. The Company estimates the fair value
of its other long-term debt using indicative bids from
investment banks and determines the fair value of its senior
notes using quoted market prices.
In accordance with the guidance for equity method investments,
during the first quarter of 2011, an investment in an
international joint venture in the Companys lodging
business with a carrying amount of $13 million was written
down due to the impairment of cash flows resulting from the
Companys partner having an indirect relationship with the
Libyan government. Such write-down resulted in a
$13 million charge, which is included in the asset
impairment on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities
|
Foreign
Currency Risk
The Company uses freestanding foreign currency forward contracts
and foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow
hedges to manage its exposure to changes in foreign currency
exchange rates associated with its foreign currency denominated
receivables, forecasted earnings of foreign subsidiaries and
forecasted foreign currency denominated vendor payments. The
amount of gains or losses the Company expects to reclassify from
other comprehensive income to earnings over the next
12 months is not material.
Interest
Rate Risk
A portion of the debt used to finance the Companys
operations is exposed to interest rate fluctuations. The Company
uses various hedging strategies and derivative financial
instruments to create a desired mix of fixed and floating rate
assets and liabilities. Derivative instruments currently used in
these hedging strategies include swaps and interest rate caps.
The derivatives used to manage the risk associated with the
Companys floating rate debt include freestanding
derivatives and derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. The
Company also uses swaps to convert specific fixed-rate debt into
variable-rate debt (i.e., fair value hedges) to manage the
overall interest cost. For relationships designated as fair
value hedges, changes in fair value of the derivatives are
recorded in income with offsetting adjustments to the carrying
amount of the hedged debt. The impact of the change in fair
value of the fair value hedges and hedged debt was immaterial
during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
In connection with the early extinguishment of the term loan
facility during the first quarter of 2010 (See
Note 6Long-Term Debt and Borrowing Arrangements), the
Company effectively terminated a related interest rate swap
agreement, which resulted in the reclassification of a
$14 million unrealized loss from AOCI to interest expense
on the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months
ended March 31, 2010. The amount of losses that the Company
expects to reclassify from AOCI to earnings during the next
12 months is not material.

recorded in AOCI for the three months ended March 31:

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns
in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and
foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to
U.S. federal income tax examinations for years prior to
2006. In addition, with few exceptions, the Company is no longer
subject to state and local, or
non-U.S. income
tax examinations for years prior to 2003.
The Companys effective tax rate declined from 39.0% during
the first quarter of 2010 to 37.9% during the first quarter of
2011 primarily due to the absence of non-deductible costs
recorded during the first quarter of 2010 related to the
acquisition of Hoseasons.
The Company made cash income tax payments, net of refunds, of
$10 million during both the three months ended
March 31, 2011 and 2010. Such payments exclude income tax
related payments made to Cendant Corporation (now Avis Budget
Group) (Cendant or former Parent).

Commitments
and Contingencies

The Company is involved in claims, legal proceedings and
governmental inquiries related to the Companys business.
Wyndham
Worldwide Litigation
The Company is involved in claims and legal actions arising in
the ordinary course of its business including but not limited
to: for its lodging businessbreach of contract, fraud and
bad faith claims between franchisors and franchisees in
connection with franchise agreements and with owners in
connection with management contracts, negligence, breach of
contract, fraud, privacy, consumer protection and other
statutory claims asserted in connection with alleged acts or
occurrences at franchised or managed properties; for its
vacation exchange and rentals business
20
breach of contract, fraud and bad faith claims by affiliates and
customers in connection with their respective agreements,
negligence, breach of contract, fraud, privacy, consumer
protection and other statutory claims asserted by members and
guests for alleged injuries sustained at affiliated resorts and
vacation rental properties; for its vacation ownership
businessbreach of contract, bad faith, conflict of
interest, fraud, privacy, consumer protection and other
statutory claims by property owners associations, owners
and prospective owners in connection with the sale or use of
VOIs or land, or the management of vacation ownership resorts,
construction defect claims relating to vacation ownership units
or resorts and negligence, breach of contract, fraud, privacy,
consumer protection and other statutory claims by guests for
alleged injuries sustained at vacation ownership units or
resorts; and for each of its businesses, bankruptcy proceedings
involving efforts to collect receivables from a debtor in
bankruptcy, employment matters involving claims of
discrimination, harassment and wage and hour claims, claims of
infringement upon third parties intellectual property
rights, tax claims and environmental claims.
The Company believes that it has adequately accrued for such
matters with reserves of $38 million as of March 31,
2011. Such amount is exclusive of matters relating to the
Companys separation from its former Parent
(Separation). For matters not requiring accrual, the
Company believes that such matters will not have a material
adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position
or cash flows based on information currently available. However,
litigation is inherently unpredictable and, although the Company
believes that its accruals are adequate
and/or
that
it has valid defenses in these matters, unfavorable results
could occur. As such, an adverse outcome from such proceedings
for which claims are awarded in excess of the amounts accrued,
if any, could be material to the Company with respect to
earnings or cash flows in any given reporting period. However,
the Company does not believe that the impact of such litigation
should result in a material liability to the Company in relation
to its consolidated financial position or liquidity.
Cendant
Litigation
Under the Separation Agreement, the Company agreed to be
responsible for 37.5% of certain of Cendants contingent
and other corporate liabilities and associated costs, including
certain contingent litigation. Since the Separation, Cendant
settled the majority of the lawsuits pending on the date of the
Separation.

$25 million and have a weighted average remaining
contractual life of 3.2 years.
|
On February 24, 2011, the Company approved grants of
incentive equity awards totaling $46 million to key
employees and senior officers of Wyndham in the form of RSUs and
SSARs. These awards will vest ratably over a period of four
years. In addition, on February 24, 2011, the Company
approved a grant of incentive equity awards totaling
$11 million to key employees and senior officers of Wyndham
in the form of PSUs. These awards cliff vest on the third
anniversary of the grant date, contingent upon the Company
achieving certain performance metrics. As of March 31,
2011, there were approximately 350,000 PSUs outstanding with an
aggregate unrecognized compensation expense of $11 million.
The fair value of SSARs granted by the Company on
February 24, 2011 was estimated on the date of the grant
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the relevant
weighted average assumptions outlined in the table below.
Expected volatility is based on both historical and implied
volatilities of the Companys stock over the estimated
expected life of the SSARs. The expected life represents the
period of time the SSARs are expected to be outstanding and is
based on the simplified method, as defined in Staff
Accounting Bulletin 110. The risk free interest rate is
based on yields on U.S. Treasury strips with a maturity
similar to the estimated expected life of the SSARs. The
projected dividend yield was based on the Companys
anticipated annual dividend divided by the price of the
Companys stock on the date of the grant.

The reportable segments presented below represent the
Companys operating segments for which separate financial
information is available and which is utilized on a regular
basis by its chief operating decision maker to assess
performance and to allocate resources. In identifying its
reportable segments, the Company also considers the nature of
services provided by its operating segments. Management
evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable
segments based upon net revenues and EBITDA, which
is defined as net income before depreciation and amortization,
interest expense (excluding consumer financing interest),
interest income (excluding consumer financing interest) and
income taxes, each of which is presented on the Consolidated
Statements of Income. The Companys presentation of EBITDA
may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other
companies.

Restructuring Plan
During 2010, the Company committed to a strategic realignment
initiative targeted at reducing costs, primarily impacting the
operations at one of the call centers at the Companys
vacation exchange and rentals business. As of March 31,

costs.
2008
Restructuring Plan
During 2008, the Company committed to various strategic
realignment initiatives targeted principally at reducing costs,
enhancing organizational efficiency and consolidating and
rationalizing existing processes and facilities. During the
three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company reversed
$1 million of previously recorded facility-related expenses
and reduced its liability with $2 million of cash payments.
The remaining liability of $8 million, all of which is
facility-related, is expected to be paid in cash by September
2017. As of March 31, 2011, the Company has incurred
$124 million of expenses related to the 2008 restructuring
plan.

Separation
Adjustments and Transactions with Former Parent and
Subsidiaries
|
Transfer
of Cendant Corporate Liabilities and Issuance of Guarantees to
Cendant and Affiliates
Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, upon the
distribution of the Companys common stock to Cendant
shareholders, the Company entered into certain guarantee
commitments with Cendant (pursuant to the assumption of certain
liabilities and the obligation to indemnify Cendant and Realogy
and travel distribution services (Travelport) for
such liabilities) and guarantee commitments related to deferred
compensation arrangements with each of Cendant and Realogy.
These guarantee arrangements primarily relate to certain
contingent litigation liabilities, contingent tax liabilities,
and Cendant contingent and other corporate liabilities, of which
the Company assumed and is responsible for 37.5% while Realogy
is responsible for the remaining 62.5%. The remaining amount of
liabilities which were assumed by the Company in connection with
the Separation was $57 million and $78 million as of
March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
These amounts were comprised of certain Cendant corporate
liabilities which were recorded on the books of Cendant as well
as additional liabilities which were established for guarantees
issued at the date of Separation, related to certain unresolved
contingent matters and certain others that could arise during
the guarantee period. Regarding the guarantees, if any of the
companies responsible for all or a portion of such liabilities
were to default in its payment of costs or expenses related to
any such liability, the Company would be responsible for a
portion of the defaulting party or parties obligation. The
Company also provided a default guarantee related to certain
deferred compensation arrangements related to certain current
and former senior officers and directors of Cendant, Realogy and
Travelport. These arrangements were valued upon the Separation
in accordance with the guidance for guarantees and recorded as
liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. To the extent
such recorded liabilities are not adequate to cover the ultimate
payment amounts, such excess will be reflected as an expense to
the results of operations in future periods.
As a result of the sale of Realogy on April 10, 2007,
Realogy was required to post a letter of credit in an amount
acceptable to the Company and Avis Budget Group to satisfy its
obligations for the Cendant legacy contingent liabilities. As of
March 31, 2011, the letter of credit was $133 million.
24
As of March 31, 2011, the $57 million of Separation
related liabilities is comprised of $39 million for tax
liabilities, $14 million for liabilities of previously sold
businesses of Cendant, $3 million for other contingent and
corporate liabilities and $1 million of liabilities where
the calculated guarantee amount exceeded the contingent
liability assumed at the Separation Date. In connection with
these liabilities, $28 million is recorded in current due
to former Parent and subsidiaries and $28 million is
recorded in long-term due to former Parent and subsidiaries as
of March 31, 2011 on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The
Company will indemnify Cendant for these contingent liabilities
and therefore any payments made to the third party would be
through the former Parent. The $1 million relating to
guarantees is recorded in other current liabilities as of
March 31, 2011 on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The
actual timing of payments relating to these liabilities is
dependent on a variety of factors beyond the Companys
control. In addition, as of March 31, 2011, the Company had
$3 million of receivables due from former Parent and
subsidiaries primarily relating to income taxes, which is
recorded in other current assets on the Consolidated Balance
Sheet. Such receivables totaled $4 million as of
December 31, 2010.
Increased
Stock Repurchase Program
On April 25, 2011, the Companys Board of Directors
increased the authorization for the Companys stock
repurchase program by $500 million.

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Discussed below are our key operating statistics, consolidated
results of operations and the results of operations for each of
our reportable segments. The reportable segments presented below
represent our operating segments for which separate financial
information is available and which is utilized on a regular
basis by our chief operating decision maker to assess
performance and to allocate resources. In identifying our
reportable segments, we also consider the nature of services
provided by our operating segments. Management evaluates the
operating results of each of our reportable segments based upon
net revenues and EBITDA. Our presentation of EBITDA may not be
comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

|
|
|
|
(a)
|
|
Represents the number of rooms at
lodging properties at the end of the period which are either
(i) under franchise and/or management agreements and
(ii) as of March 31, 2010, properties managed under an
international joint venture. The Tryp hotel brand was acquired
on June 30, 2010 and is, therefore, included in the number
of rooms for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
Represents revenue per available
room and is calculated by multiplying the percentage of
available rooms occupied during the period by the average rate
charged for renting a lodging room for one day. The three months
ended March 31, 2011 includes the impact from the
acquisition of the Tryp hotel brand, which was acquired on
June 30, 2010; therefore, such operating statistics for
2011 are not presented on a comparable basis to the 2010
operating statistics.
|

|
|
(c)
|
|
Represents members in our vacation
exchange programs who pay annual membership dues. For additional
fees, such participants are entitled to exchange intervals for
intervals at other properties affiliated with our vacation
exchange business. In addition, certain participants may
exchange intervals for other leisure-related services and
products.
|
|
|
|
(d)
|
|
Represents total annualized
revenues generated from fees associated with memberships,
exchange transactions, member-related rentals and other
servicing for the period divided by the average number of
vacation exchange members during the period.
|
|
|
|
(e)
|
|
Represents the number of
transactions that are generated in connection with customers
booking their vacation rental stays through us. One rental
transaction is recorded each time a standard one-week rental is
booked.
|
|
|
|
(f)
|
|
Includes the impact from the
acquisitions of Hoseasons (March 2010), ResortQuest (September
2010) and James Villa Holidays (November 2010); therefore,
such operating statistics for 2011 are not presented on a
comparable basis to the 2010 operating statistics.

(g)
|
|
Represents the net rental price
generated from renting vacation properties to customers divided
by the number of vacation rental transactions.
|
|
|
|
(h)
|
|
Represents total sales of VOIs,
including sales under the Wyndham Asset Affiliation Model
(WAAM), before loan loss provisions. We believe that
Gross VOI sales provides an enhanced understanding of the
performance of our vacation ownership business because it
directly measures the sales volume of this business during a

VPG is calculated by dividing Gross
VOI sales (excluding tele-sales upgrades, which are non-tour
upgrade sales) by the number of tours. Tele-sales upgrades were
$18 million and $20 million during the three months
ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We have
excluded non-tour upgrade sales in the calculation of VPG
because non-tour upgrade sales are generated by a different
marketing channel. We believe that VPG provides an enhanced
understanding of the performance of our vacation ownership
business because it directly measures the efficiency of this
business tour selling efforts during a given reporting
period.

Net revenues increased $66 million (7.4%) for the three
months ended March 31, 2011 compared with the same period
last year primarily resulting from:
|
|
|
|
·
|
$33 million of incremental revenues related to acquisitions;
|
|
|
·
|
$19 million at our vacation ownership business primarily
resulting from increases of $10 million of property
management fees and $7 million of WAAM commission revenues;
|
|
|
·
|
$14 million at our vacation exchange and rentals business
primarily due to an increase in net revenues generated from
rental transactions and other related services; and
|
|
|
·
|
$3 million at our lodging business primarily from higher
royalty, marketing and reservation revenues.
|
Total expenses increased by $44 million (5.8%) for the
three months ended March 31, 2011 compared with the same
period last year principally reflecting:
|
|
|
|
·
|
$30 million of incremental expenses related to
acquisitions, which reflects the absence of $4 million of
costs incurred in 2010 related to the Hoseasons acquisition;
|
|
|
·
|
$17 million of higher operating expenses primarily in our
vacation ownership and exchange and rentals business resulting
from the revenue increase (excluding acquisitions); and
|
|
|
·
|
a $13 million non-cash impairment charge related to a
write-down of an international joint venture in the lodging
business due to our partners indirect relationship with
the Libyan government.
|
Such increases were partially offset by:
|
|
|
|
·
|
the absence of an $11 million litigation charge incurred in
the first quarter of 2010 at our vacation ownership
business; and
|
|
|
·
|
a $9 million favorable impact from the resolution of and
adjustment to certain contingent liabilities and assets
resulting from the Separation.
|
Other income, net increased by $5 million primarily due to
a gain on the redemption of a preferred stock investment
allocated to us in connection with the Separation.
Interest expense decreased $6 million during the three
months ended March 31, 2011 compared with the same period
last year as a result of (i) the absence of
$16 million of costs incurred during the first quarter of
2010 for the early termination of our term loan and revolving
foreign credit facilities and (ii) a $2 million
increase in capitalized interest primarily due to construction
on our Wyndham Grand Orlando ResortBonnet Creek hotel
(Bonnet Creek Hotel), partially offset by
$12 million of costs incurred for the repurchase of a
portion of our 3.50% convertible notes during the first quarter
of 2011.
Our effective tax rate declined from 39.0% during the first
quarter of 2010 to 37.9% during the first quarter of 2011
primarily due to the absence of non-deductible costs recorded
during the first quarter of 2010 related to the acquisition of
Hoseasons.
As a result of these items, our net income increased
$22 million (44.0%) as compared to the first quarter 2010.
28
During 2011, we expect:
|
|
|
|
·
|
net revenues of approximately $4.0 billion to
$4.2 billion;
|
|
|
·
|
depreciation and amortization of approximately $180 million
to $190 million; and
|
|
|
·
|
interest expense, net (excluding early extinguishment of debt
costs) of approximately $135 million to $145 million.

Net revenues increased by $5 million (3.5%) and EBITDA
decreased by $6 million (18.2%) during the first quarter of
2011 compared to the same period last year. Excluding the impact
of the $13 million non-cash impairment charge related to
the write-down of an international joint venture, EBITDA
increased $7 million (21.2%).
The increase in net revenues primarily reflects (i) a
$6 million increase in royalty, marketing and reservation
revenues primarily due to a 7.9% increase in domestic RevPAR
resulting from stronger occupancy and (ii) $2 million
of incremental revenues contributed by the Tryp hotel brand,
which we acquired during June 2010. The increase in revenues was
partially offset by $2 million of lower reimbursable
revenues in our hotel management business resulting from a
reduction in the number of properties under management. As the
reimbursements are made based upon cost with no added margin,
there is no impact on EBITDA.
As of March 31, 2011, we had approximately 7,190 properties
and 609,600 rooms in our hotel system. This reflects a reduction
of approximately 3,100 rooms from December 31, 2010,
primarily due to removal of nearly 2,800 rooms from our system
related to the impairment of the international joint venture.
Additionally, our hotel development pipeline included
approximately 830 hotels and over 102,000 rooms, of which 57%
were international and 57% were new construction as of
March 31, 2011.
We expect net revenues of approximately $675 million to
$725 million during 2011. In addition, as compared to 2010,
we expect our operating statistics during 2011 to perform as
follows:
|
|
|
|
·
|
RevPAR to increase 5% to 7%; and
|
|
|
·
|
number of rooms to increase 1% to 3%.
|
Vacation
Exchange and Rentals
Net revenues and EBITDA increased $56 million (18.7%) and
$13 million (16.3%), respectively, during the first quarter
of 2011 compared with the first quarter of 2010 primarily due to
incremental revenues contributed by acquisitions and higher net
revenues generated from rental transactions and related
services. A weaker U.S. dollar compared to other foreign
currencies contributed $2 million in net revenues and had a
neutral impact on EBITDA.
Acquisitions contributed $31 million of incremental net
revenues (inclusive of $6 million of ancillary revenues)
and an EBITDA loss of $1 million, which is primarily
attributable to the seasonality of revenue generation at our
ResortQuest and
29
James Villa Holidays businesses. EBITDA was also favorably
impacted by the absence of $4 million of costs incurred in
connection with the acquisition of Hoseasons in the first
quarter of 2010.
Excluding the impact of $25 million of incremental revenues
from acquisitions, net revenues generated from rental
transactions and related services increased $20 million due
to a 9.8% increase in average net price per vacation rental and
an 8.1% increase in rental transaction volume. The increase in
average net price per vacation rental resulted from
(i) higher yield at our Novasol business for peak season
bookings, (ii) higher yield for U.K. and France
destinations at our U.K. cottage business, and (iii) a
$7 million impact primarily related to a change in the
reporting of third-party sales commission fees to operating
expenses which was reported as contra revenue in the same period
last year. This change in reporting had no impact on EBITDA.
Rental transaction volume increased primarily due to
favorability at our U.K. cottage, Novasol and Landal GreenParks
businesses. Foreign exchange movements had a neutral impact on
net revenues generated from rental transactions.
Exchange and related service revenues, which primarily consist
of fees generated from memberships, exchange transactions,
member-related rentals and other member servicing, increased
$5 million. Excluding the $2 million favorable impact
of foreign exchange movements, exchange and related service
revenues increased $3 million driven by a 0.5% increase in
the average number of members and a 0.8% increase in exchange
revenue per member. The increase in exchange revenue per member
is primarily related to an increase in other transaction fee
revenue from combining deposited timeshare intervals, which
allows members the ability to transact into higher-valued
vacations, and the impact of a $2 million increase related
to a change in the reporting of third-party credit card
processing fees to operating expenses, which was reported as
contra revenue in prior periods. This change in reporting had no
impact on EBITDA. This increase was partially offset by the
impact from lower exchange and member-rental transactions, which
we believe is the result of the impact of club memberships.
In addition to the items discussed above, EBITDA further
reflects $6 million of higher volume-related costs which
are primarily attributable to the increase in net revenues
generated from rental transactions and related services.
We expect net revenues of approximately $1.4 billion to
$1.5 billion during 2011. In addition, as compared to 2010,
we expect our operating statistics during 2011 to perform as
follows:
|
|
|
|
·
|
vacation rental transactions and average net price per vacation
rental to increase 18% to 20%;
|
|
|
·
|
average number of members to be flat; and
|
|
|
·
|
exchange revenue per member to increase 1% to 3%.

Vacation
Ownership
Net revenues and EBITDA increased $6 million (1.4%) and
$15 million (18.3%), respectively, during the first quarter
of 2011 compared with the first quarter of 2010.
Gross sales of VOIs, net of WAAM sales decreased $1 million
driven principally by a 6.1% decrease in VPG, partially offset
by an 11.4% increase in tour flow. The changes in VPG and tour
flow reflect our focus on marketing programs directed towards
new owner generation. Our provision for loan losses declined
$7 million primarily as a result of improved portfolio
performance and lower gross VOI sales. In addition, net revenue
comparisons were unfavorably impacted by a $14 million
decrease in ancillary revenues, primarily associated with a
change in the reporting of fees related to incidental VOI
operations. This change in reporting from gross basis reporting
in revenues to net basis reporting in operating expenses had no
impact on EBITDA.
Net revenues and EBITDA generated by our WAAM increased by
$7 million and $1 million, respectively, due to
increased commissions earned on $13 million of higher VOI
sales under our WAAM.
Property management net revenues and EBITDA increased
$10 million and $3 million, respectively, resulting
primarily from higher cost reimbursements and higher fees for
additional services, partially offset in EBITDA by increased
costs primarily due to the higher cost reimbursements.
Net revenues and EBITDA were unfavorably impacted by
$3 million and $2 million, respectively, due to lower
consumer financing revenues attributable to a decline in our
contract receivable portfolio, partially offset in EBITDA by
$1 million of decreased interest expense on our securitized
debt. Compared to last year, our net interest income margin
increased to 78% from 77% due to (i) a reduction in our
weighted average interest rate to 5.6% from 6.6% and
(ii) higher weighted average interest rates earned on our
contract receivable portfolio, partially offset by
$193 million of increased average borrowings on our
securitized debt facilities.
30
In addition to the items discussed above, EBITDA was favorably
impacted by decreased expenses primarily resulting from:
|
|
|
|
·
|
the absence of an $11 million litigation charge incurred in
the first quarter of 2010;
|
|
|
·
|
$10 million of lower sales commissions and cost of sales
resulting from decreased gross VOI sales; and
|
|
|
·
|
$6 million of decreased deed recording costs.
|
Such decreases were partially offset by:
|
|
|
|
·
|
$9 million of increased costs associated with maintenance
fees on unsold inventory;
|
|
|
·
|
$7 million of increased marketing expenses due to increased
tours; and
|
|
|
·
|
$4 million of increased costs related to our trial
membership marketing program.
|
We expect net revenues of approximately $1.9 billion to
$2.1 billion during 2011. In addition, as compared to 2010,
we expect our operating statistics during 2011 to perform as
follows:
|
|
|
|
·
|
gross VOI sales to be $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion
(including approximately $125 million to $175 million
related to WAAM); and
|
|
|
·
|
tours and VPG to increase 2% to 5%.
|
Corporate
and Other
Corporate and Other expenses decreased $7 million during
the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period during
2010 resulting from:
|
|
|
|
·
|
a $9 million favorable impact from the resolution of and
adjustment to certain contingent liabilities and assets; and
|
|
|
·
|
a $4 million gain related to the redemption of a preferred
stock investment allocated to us in connection with the
Separation.
|
Such benefit was partially offset by $6 million of
increased costs primarily related to data security, information
technology and employee-related expenses.
RESTRUCTURING
PLANS
2010
Restructuring Plan
In connection with the recent implementation of significant
technology enhancements at our vacation exchange and rentals
business during 2010, we committed to a strategic realignment
initiative targeted at reducing costs, primarily impacting the
operations at one of our call centers. As of March 31,
2011, the remaining liability of $9 million, all of which
is personnel-related, is expected to be paid in cash primarily
during the second quarter of 2011. We anticipate additional
restructuring costs of approximately $2 million during the
second quarter of 2011 primarily for facility-related costs,
which will be paid in cash over the life of the remaining lease
term. We anticipate annual net savings of approximately
$7 million from such initiative.
2008
Restructuring Plan
In response to a deteriorating global economy, during 2008, we
committed to various strategic realignment initiatives targeted
principally at reducing costs, enhancing organizational
efficiency, reducing our need to access the asset-backed
securities market and consolidating and rationalizing existing
processes and facilities. During the three months ended
March 31, 2011, we reversed $1 million of previously
recorded facility-related expenses and reduced our liability
with $2 million of cash payments.
As of March 31, 2011, the remaining liability was
$8 million, all of which is facility-related, and is
expected to be paid in cash by September 2017. We began to
realize the benefits of these strategic realignment initiatives
during the fourth quarter of 2008 and realized net savings of
approximately $40 million during the three months ended
March 31, 2011. We anticipate continued annual net savings
of approximately $155 million from such initiatives.

|
Total assets increased $41 million from December 31,
2010 to March 31, 2011 primarily due to:
|
|
|
|
·
|
a $194 million increase in trade receivables, net,
primarily due to seasonality at our European vacation rentals
businesses and the impact of foreign currency translation;
|
|
|
·
|
a $41 million increase in other current assets primarily
due to increased securitized restricted cash related to our
vacation ownership contract receivables securitizations,
increased escrow deposit restricted cash related to advanced
booking deposits received on vacation rental transactions and an
increase in notes receivable and deposits;
|
|
|
·
|
a $32 million increase in property and equipment primarily
related to capital expenditures for information technology
enhancements and maintenance and construction on our Bonnet
Creek Hotel, as well as the impact of foreign currency
translation, partially offset by the depreciation of property
and equipment;
|
|
|
·
|
an increase of $18 million in cash and cash equivalents,
which is discussed in further detail in Liquidity and
Capital ResourcesCash Flows;
|
|
|
·
|
a $15 million increase in goodwill resulting from foreign
currency translation; and
|
|
|
·
|
$12 million of increased prepaid expenses primarily due to
increased prepaid marketing expenses as we prepare for the peak
vacation season.
|
Such increases were partially offset by:
|
|
|
|
·
|
a $149 million decrease in other non-current assets
primarily due to the settlement of a portion of our call options
in connection with the repurchase of a portion of our 3.50%
convertible notes, the redemption of a preferred stock
investment and the impairment of an international joint venture
in our hotel business, partially offset by increased securitized
restricted cash and increased deferred financing costs resulting
from the securitization term deal during 2011;
|
|
|
·
|
a $79 million decrease in vacation ownership contract
receivables, net primarily a result of a decline in financed VOI
sales;
|
|
|
·
|
a $26 million decrease in deferred income taxes primarily
attributable to a change in the expected timing of the
utilization of alternative minimum tax credits; and
|
|
|
·
|
a $15 million decrease in inventory primarily due to a
reduction in the development of vacation ownership resorts.
|
Total liabilities increased $251 million from
December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011 primarily due to:
|
|
|
|
·
|
a $219 million increase in accounts payable primarily due
to seasonality at our European vacation rentals businesses and
the impact of foreign currency translation;
|
|
|
·
|
a $164 million net increase in our securitized vacation
ownership debt (see Note 6Long-Term Debt and
Borrowing Arrangements); and
|
|
|
·
|
a $72 million increase in deferred income primarily
resulting from higher advance arrival-based bookings within our
vacation exchange and rentals business.
|
Such increases were partially offset by:
|
|
|
|
·
|
a net decrease of $123 million in other long-term debt
primarily reflecting a $149 million net decrease in
outstanding borrowings on our corporate revolver, a
$137 million net decrease in our derivative liability
related to the bifurcated conversion feature entered into
concurrently with the sale of our convertible notes and a
$90 million decrease due to the repurchase of a portion of
our 3.50% convertible notes, which is discussed in greater
detail in Note 6Long-Term Debt and Borrowing
Arrangements, partially offset by the issuance of our
$250 million 5.625% senior unsecured notes;
|
32
|
|
|
|
·
|
a $73 million decrease in accrued expenses and other
current liabilities primarily due to the payment of accrued
employee incentive costs; and
|
|
|
·
|
a $21 million decrease in due to former Parent and
subsidiaries as a result of the payment and settlement of
certain legacy liabilities.
|
Total stockholders equity decreased $210 million from
December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011 primarily due to:
|
|
|
|
·
|
$173 million of stock repurchases;
|
|
|
·
|
$106 million for the repurchase of warrants;
|
|
|
·
|
$26 million of dividends; and
|
|
|
·
|
an $18 million decrease in deferred equity compensation.
|
Such decreases were partially offset by:
|
|
|
|
·
|
$72 million of net income;
|
|
|
·
|
a $17 million increase to our pool of excess tax benefits
available to absorb tax deficiencies due to the vesting of
equity awards; and
|
|
|
·
|
$16 million of currency translation adjustments, net of tax.
|
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Currently, our financing needs are supported by cash generated
from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit
facility. In addition, certain funding requirements of our
vacation ownership business are met through the issuance of
securitized debt to finance vacation ownership contract
receivables. We believe that our net cash from operations, cash
and cash equivalents, access to our revolving credit facility
and continued access to the securitization and debt markets
provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our ongoing needs.
During March 2010, we replaced our five-year $900 million
revolving credit facility with a $950 million revolving
credit facility that expires on October 1, 2013. The
capacity of this facility was increased during the fourth
quarter of 2010 and, subsequently, increased to
$980 million during the first quarter of 2011. During
October 2010, we renewed our
364-day,
non-recourse, securitized vacation ownership bank conduit
facility, with a term through September 2011 and total capacity
of $600 million.
We may, from time to time, depending on market conditions and
other factors, repurchase our outstanding indebtedness,
including our convertible notes, whether or not such
indebtedness trades above or below its face amount, for cash
and/or
in
exchange for other securities or other consideration, in each
case in open market purchases
and/or
privately negotiated transactions.
CASH
FLOWS
During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we
had a net change in cash and cash equivalents of
$18 million and $8 million, respectively. The

Operating
Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, net cash
provided by operating activities increased $24 million as
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010, which
principally reflects:
|
|
|
|
·
|
a $33 million increase in deferred income primarily due to
(i) higher arrival-based bookings resulting from the 2010
acquisitions of ResortQuest and James Villa Holidays at our
vacation exchange and rentals business and (ii) lower
recognition of deferred ancillary revenues at our vacation
ownership business;
|
33
|
|
|
|
·
|
a $29 million increase in cash inflows related to
(i) lower originations of vacation ownership contract
receivables primarily due to higher cash down payments and
(ii) higher collections of contract receivables during the
first quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period during 2010;
|
|
|
·
|
a $24 million increase in accounts payable, accrued
expenses and other current liabilities primarily related to
increased homeowner liabilities that are associated with
increased advance bookings and the incremental impact associated
with our 2010 acquisitions at our vacation exchange and rental
business, partially offset by the absence of accruals recorded
during 2010 for litigation and developer obligations at our
vacation ownership business and timing differences in accrued
expenses; and
|
|
|
·
|
$14 million of lower cash used primarily to purchase and
construct vacation ownership inventory.
|
Such increases in cash inflows were partially offset by
(i) $64 million of higher trade receivables related to
the incremental impact associated with our 2010 acquisitions
coupled with an increase in advance bookings at our vacation
exchange and rentals business and (ii) $19 million
increase in other current assets primarily related to higher
other receivables and deposits.
Investing
Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, net cash used
in investing activities decreased $66 million as compared
to the three months ended March 31, 2010, which principally
reflects (i) the absence of a $59 million cash payment
relating to the 2010 acquisition of Hoseasons and (ii) a
$15 million increase in proceeds from asset sales primarily
related to the redemption of a preferred stock investment
allocated to us in connection with the Separation.
Such decreases in cash outflows were partially offset by an
increase of $5 million in spending at our lodging business
for construction on our Bonnet Creek Hotel.
Financing
Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, net cash used
in financing activities increased $84 million as compared
to the three months ended March 31, 2010, which principally
reflects:
|
|
|
|
·
|
$249 million related to the repurchase of a portion of our
convertible notes;
|
|
|
·
|
$154 million of higher stock repurchases; and
|
|
|
·
|
$10 million of higher tax payments related to the net share
settlement of vested restricted stock units.
|
Such increases in cash outflows were partially offset by:
|
|
|
|
·
|
$173 million of higher net proceeds related to securitized
vacation ownership debt;
|
|
|
·
|
$106 million of higher net proceeds related to
non-securitized borrowings;
|
|
|
·
|
$41 million of higher net proceeds resulting from the
settlement of a portion of our 2009 convertible note hedge and
warrant transactions; and
|
|
|
·
|
$13 million of lower debt issuance costs primarily related
to the absence of the renewal of our revolving credit facility
during 2010.
|
Convertible Debt.
We utilized some of our cash
flow to retire a portion of our convertible debt and settle a
related portion of call options (Call Options) and
warrants (Warrants). During the first quarter of
2011, we repurchased approximately 85%, or $99 million face
value, of our remaining 3.50% convertible notes that had a
carrying value of $238 million, primarily through the
completion of a cash tender offer ($90 million for the
portion of convertible notes, including the unamortized
discount, and $148 million for the related bifurcated
conversion feature) for $249 million. Concurrent with the
repurchases, we settled (i) a portion of the Call Options
for proceeds of $147 million and (ii) a portion of the
Warrants with payments of $106 million. As a result of
these transactions, we made net payments of $208 million
and incurred total losses of $12 million during the first
quarter of 2011. This transaction reduced the number of shares
related to the Warrants to approximately 1 million as of
March 31, 2011. As the Warrants had a dilutive effect when
our common stock price exceeds the Warrant strike price of
$19.83 per share, this transaction will result in reduced future
share dilution if our common stock price continues to exceed the
Warrant strike price. In addition, this transaction is expected
to create economic value as we believe our common stock price
will increase, resulting in a benefit that exceeds the cost of
purchasing these Warrants.
Senior Unsecured Notes.
During the first
quarter of 2011, we issued senior unsecured debt for net
proceeds of $245 million. We utilized the proceeds from
this debt issuance to reduce our outstanding indebtedness,
including the
34
repurchase of a portion of our outstanding 3.50% convertible
notes and repayment of borrowings under the revolving credit
facility, and for general corporate purposes. For further
detailed information about such borrowings, see
Note 6Long-Term Debt and Borrowing Arrangements.
Capital
Deployment
We are focusing on optimizing cash flow and seeking to deploy
capital for the highest possible returns. Ultimately, our
business objective is to transform our cash and earnings
profile, primarily by rebalancing our cash streams to achieve a
greater proportion of EBITDA from our
fee-for-service
businesses. We intend to continue to invest in select capital
improvements and technological improvements across our business.
In addition, we may seek to acquire additional franchise
agreements, hotel/property management contracts and exclusive
agreements for vacation rental properties on a strategic and
selective basis, either directly or through investments in joint
ventures.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we spent
$44 million on capital expenditures, equity investments and
development advances primarily on (i) information
technology maintenance and enhancement projects,
(ii) construction of our Bonnet Creek Hotel and
(iii) equity investments and development advances. During
2011, we anticipate spending approximately $200 million to
$225 million on capital expenditures, equity investments
and development advances including approximately
$50 million related to the completion of our Bonnet Creek
Hotel.
In addition, we spent $19 million relating to vacation
ownership development projects (inventory) during the first
quarter of 2011. We anticipate spending on average approximately
$130 million annually from 2011 through 2014 on vacation
ownership development projects (approximately $80 million
to $90 million during 2011), including projects currently
under development. We believe that our vacation ownership
business currently has adequate finished inventory on our
balance sheet to support vacation ownership sales through 2012.
After factoring in the anticipated additional average spending
of approximately $130 million annually from 2011 through
2014, we expect to have adequate inventory through 2015.
We expect that the majority of the expenditures that will be
required to pursue our capital spending programs, strategic
investments and vacation ownership development projects will be
financed with cash flow generated through operations. Additional
expenditures are financed with general unsecured corporate
borrowings, including through the use of available capacity
under our $980 million revolving credit facility.
Share
Repurchase Program
We expect to generate annual net cash provided by operating
activities less capital expenditures, equity investments and
development advances in the range of approximately
$600 million to $700 million annually over the next
several years. A portion of this cash flow is expected to be
returned to our shareholders in the form of share repurchases.
On August 20, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized a
stock repurchase program that enables it to purchase up to
$200 million of our common stock and subsequently, on
July 22, 2010, increased the authorization by
$300 million. Under such program, we repurchased
11,426,202 shares at an average price of $25.78 for a cost
of $295 million and repurchase capacity increased
$53 million from proceeds received from stock option
exercises as of December 31, 2010. During the first quarter
of 2011, we repurchased 5,651,596 shares at an average
price of $30.62 for a cost of $173 million and repurchase
capacity increased $6 million from proceeds received from
stock option exercises. Such repurchase capacity will continue
to be increased by proceeds received from future stock option
exercises.
On April 25, 2011, our Board of Directors increased the
authorization for the stock repurchase program by
$500 million. During the period April 1, 2011 through
April 28, 2011, we repurchased an additional 3 million
shares at an average price of $32.13 for a cost of $95 million.
We currently have $497 million remaining availability in our
program. The amount and timing of specific repurchases are
subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and
other factors. Repurchases may be conducted in the open market
or in privately negotiated transactions.
Dividend
Policy
During the first quarter of 2011, we paid a quarterly dividend
of $0.15 per share of common stock issued and outstanding on the
record date for the applicable dividend. Our dividend payout
ratio is approximately 28% of the midpoint of our estimated
2011 net income after certain adjustments. We expect our
dividend policy for the future, at a minimum, to mirror the rate
of growth of our business.

Transfer
and Servicing of Financial Assets
We pool qualifying vacation ownership contract receivables and
sell them to bankruptcy-remote entities. Vacation ownership
contract receivables qualify for securitization based primarily
on the credit strength of the VOI purchaser to whom financing
has been extended. Vacation ownership contract receivables are
securitized through bankruptcy-remote SPEs that are consolidated
within our Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result, we do
not recognize gains or losses resulting from these
securitizations at the time of sale to the SPEs. Interest income
is recognized when earned over the contractual life of the
vacation ownership contract receivables. We service the
securitized vacation ownership contract receivables pursuant to
servicing agreements negotiated on an arms-length basis based on
market conditions. The activities of these SPEs are limited to
(i) purchasing vacation ownership contract receivables from
our vacation ownership subsidiaries; (ii) issuing debt
securities
and/or
borrowing under a conduit facility to fund such purchases; and
(iii) entering into derivatives to hedge interest rate
exposure. The bankruptcy-remote SPEs are legally separate from
us. The receivables held by the bankruptcy-remote SPEs are not
available to our creditors and legally are not our assets.
Additionally, the creditors of these SPEs have no recourse to us
for principal and interest.
37
The assets and liabilities of these vacation ownership SPEs are

Covenants
The revolving credit facility is subject to covenants including
the maintenance of specific financial ratios. The financial
ratio covenants consist of a minimum consolidated interest
coverage ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0 as of the measurement date
and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio not to exceed 3.75 to
1.0 as of the measurement date. The consolidated interest
coverage ratio is calculated by dividing consolidated EBITDA (as
defined in the credit agreement) by consolidated interest
expense (as defined in the credit agreement), both as measured
on a trailing 12 month basis preceding the measurement
date. As of March 31, 2011, our consolidated interest
coverage ratio was 8.5 times. Consolidated interest expense
excludes, among other things, interest expense on any
securitization indebtedness (as defined in the credit
agreement). The consolidated leverage ratio is calculated by
dividing consolidated total indebtedness (as defined in the
credit agreement and which excludes, among other things,
securitization indebtedness) as of the measurement date by
consolidated EBITDA as measured on a trailing 12 month
basis preceding the measurement date. As of March 31, 2011,
our consolidated leverage ratio was 2.0 times. Covenants in this
credit facility also include limitations on indebtedness of
material subsidiaries; liens; mergers, consolidations,
liquidations and dissolutions; sale of all or substantially all
assets; and sale and leaseback transactions. Events of default
in this credit facility include failure to pay interest,
principal and fees when due; breach of a covenant or warranty;
acceleration of or failure to pay other debt in excess of
$50 million (excluding securitization indebtedness);
insolvency matters; and a change of control.
The 6.00% senior unsecured notes, 9.875% senior
unsecured notes, 7.375% senior unsecured notes,
5.75% senior unsecured notes, and 5.625% senior
unsecured notes contain various covenants including limitations
on liens, limitations on potential sale and leaseback
transactions and change of control restrictions. In addition,
there are limitations on mergers, consolidations and potential
sale of all or substantially all of our assets. Events of
default in the notes include failure to pay interest and
principal when due, breach of a covenant or warranty,
acceleration of other debt in excess of $50 million and
insolvency matters. The convertible notes do not contain
affirmative or negative covenants, however, the limitations on
mergers, consolidations and potential sale of all or
substantially all of our assets and the events of default for
our senior unsecured notes are applicable to such notes. Holders
of the convertible notes have the right to require us to
repurchase the convertible notes at 100% of principal plus
accrued and unpaid interest in the event of a fundamental
change, defined to
38
include, among other things, a change of control, certain
recapitalizations and if our common stock is no longer listed on
a national securities exchange.
As of March 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all of the
financial covenants described above.
Each of our non-recourse, securitized term notes and the bank
conduit facility contain various triggers relating to the
performance of the applicable loan pools. If the vacation
ownership contract receivables pool that collateralizes one of
our securitization notes fails to perform within the parameters
established by the contractual triggers (such as higher default
or delinquency rates), there are provisions pursuant to which
the cash flows for that pool will be maintained in the
securitization as extra collateral for the note holders or
applied to accelerate the repayment of outstanding principal to
the noteholders. As of March 31, 2011, all of our
securitized loan pools were in compliance with applicable
contractual triggers.
LIQUIDITY
RISK
Our vacation ownership business finances certain of its
receivables through (i) an asset-backed bank conduit
facility and (ii) periodically accessing the capital
markets by issuing asset-backed securities. None of the
currently outstanding asset-backed securities contains any
recourse provisions to us other than interest rate risk related
to swap counterparties (solely to the extent that the amount
outstanding on our notes differs from the forecasted
amortization schedule at the time of issuance).
We believe that our bank conduit facility, with a term through
September 2011 and capacity of $600 million, combined with
our ability to issue term asset-backed securities, should
provide sufficient liquidity for our expected sales pace and we
expect to have available liquidity to finance the sale of VOIs.
We also believe that we will be able to renew our bank conduit
facility at or before the maturity date.
Our $980 million revolving credit agreement, which expires
in October 2013, contains a provision that is a condition of an
extension of credit. The provision, which was standard market
practice for issuers of our rating and industry at the time of
our revolver renewal, allows the lenders to withhold an
extension of credit if the representations and warranties we
made at the time we executed the revolving credit facility
agreement are not true and correct in all material respects at
the time of request of the extension for credit including if a
development or event has or would reasonably be expected to have
a material adverse effect on our business, assets, operations or
condition, financial or otherwise. The application of the
material adverse effect provision contains exclusions for the
impact resulting from disruptions in, or the inability of
companies engaged in businesses similar to those engaged in by
us and our subsidiaries to consummate financings in, the asset
backed securities or conduit market.
Some of our vacation ownership developments are supported by
surety bonds provided by affiliates of certain insurance
companies in order to meet regulatory requirements of certain
states. In the ordinary course of our business, we have
assembled commitments from thirteen surety providers in the
amount of $1.2 billion, of which we had $320 million
outstanding as of March 31, 2011. The availability, terms
and conditions, and pricing of such bonding capacity is
dependent on, among other things, continued financial strength
and stability of the insurance company affiliates providing such
bonding capacity, the general availability of such capacity and
our corporate credit rating. If such bonding capacity is
unavailable, or alternatively, if the terms and conditions and
pricing of such bonding capacity are unacceptable to us, the
cost of development of our vacation ownership units could be
negatively impacted.
Our liquidity position may also be negatively affected by
unfavorable conditions in the capital markets in which we
operate or if our vacation ownership contract receivables
portfolios do not meet specified portfolio credit parameters.
Our liquidity as it relates to our vacation ownership contract
receivables securitization program could be adversely affected
if we were to fail to renew or replace our conduit facility on
its annual expiration date, or if a particular receivables pool
were to fail to meet certain ratios, which could occur in
certain instances if the default rates or other credit metrics
of the underlying vacation ownership contract receivables
deteriorate. Our ability to sell securities backed by our
vacation ownership contract receivables depends on the continued
ability and willingness of capital market participants to invest
in such securities.
As of March 31, 2011, we had $452 million of
availability under our asset-backed bank conduit facility. Any
disruption to the asset-backed or commercial paper markets could
adversely impact our ability to obtain such financings.
Our senior unsecured debt is rated BBB- by Standard and
Poors (S&P). During February 2010,
S&P assigned a stable outlook to our senior
unsecured debt. During February 2010, Moodys Investors
Service upgraded our senior unsecured debt rating to Ba1 and
during September 2010, assigned a positive outlook.
A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold
securities and is subject to revision or withdrawal by the
assigning rating organization. Reference in this report to any
such credit rating is intended for the limited purpose of
discussing or referring to aspects of our liquidity and of our
costs of funds. Any reference to a credit rating is not intended
to be any guarantee or assurance of, nor should there
39
be any undue reliance upon, any credit rating or change in
credit rating, nor is any such reference intended as any
inference concerning future performance, future liquidity or any
future credit rating.
SEASONALITY
We experience seasonal fluctuations in our net revenues and net
income from our franchise and management fees, commission income
earned from renting vacation properties, annual subscription
fees or annual membership dues, as applicable, and exchange and
member-related transaction fees and sales of VOIs. Revenues from
franchise and management fees are generally higher in the second
and third quarters than in the first or fourth quarters, because
of increased leisure travel during the summer months. Revenues
from rental income earned from vacation rentals are generally
highest in the third quarter, when vacation rentals are highest.
Revenues from vacation exchange and member-related transaction
fees are generally highest in the first quarter, which is
generally when members of our vacation exchange business plan
and book their vacations for the year. Revenues from sales of
VOIs are generally higher in the third quarter than in other
quarters. The seasonality of our business may cause fluctuations
in our quarterly operating results. As we expand into new
markets and geographical locations, we may experience increased
or different seasonality dynamics that create fluctuations in
operating results different from the fluctuations we have
experienced in the past.
SEPARATION
ADJUSTMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH FORMER PARENT AND
SUBSIDIARIES
Transfer
of Cendant Corporate Liabilities and Issuance of Guarantees to
Cendant and Affiliates
Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, upon the
distribution of our common stock to Cendant shareholders, we
entered into certain guarantee commitments with Cendant
(pursuant to the assumption of certain liabilities and the
obligation to indemnify Cendant, Realogy and Travelport for such
liabilities) and guarantee commitments related to deferred
compensation arrangements with each of Cendant and Realogy.
These guarantee arrangements primarily relate to certain
contingent litigation liabilities, contingent tax liabilities,
and Cendant contingent and other corporate liabilities, of which
we assumed and are responsible for 37.5%, while Realogy is
responsible for the remaining 62.5%. The remaining amount of
liabilities which we assumed in connection with the Separation
was $57 million and $78 million as of March 31,
2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. These amounts
were comprised of certain Cendant corporate liabilities which
were recorded on the books of Cendant as well as additional
liabilities which were established for guarantees issued at the
date of Separation related to certain unresolved contingent
matters and certain others that could arise during the guarantee
period. Regarding the guarantees, if any of the companies
responsible for all or a portion of such liabilities were to
default in its payment of costs or expenses related to any such
liability, we would be responsible for a portion of the
defaulting party or parties obligation. We also provided a
default guarantee related to certain deferred compensation
arrangements related to certain current and former senior
officers and directors of Cendant, Realogy and Travelport. These
arrangements have been valued upon the Separation in accordance
with the guidance for guarantees and recorded as liabilities on
the Consolidated Balance Sheets. To the extent such recorded
liabilities are not adequate to cover the ultimate payment
amounts, such excess will be reflected as an expense to the
results of operations in future periods.
As a result of the sale of Realogy on April 10, 2007,
Realogy was required to post a letter of credit in an amount
acceptable to us and Avis Budget Group to satisfy its
obligations for the Cendant legacy contingent liabilities. As of
March 31, 2011, the letter of credit was $133 million.
As of March 31, 2011, the $57 million of Separation
related liabilities is comprised of $39 million for tax
liabilities, $14 million for liabilities of previously sold
businesses of Cendant, $3 million for other contingent and
corporate liabilities and $1 million of liabilities where
the calculated guarantee amount exceeded the contingent
liability assumed at the Separation Date. In connection with
these liabilities, $28 million is recorded in current due
to former Parent and subsidiaries and $28 million is
recorded in long-term due to former Parent and subsidiaries as
of March 31, 2011 on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. We
will indemnify Cendant for these contingent liabilities and
therefore any payments made to the third party would be through
the former Parent. The $1 million relating to guarantees is
recorded in other current liabilities as of March 31, 2011
on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The actual timing of payments
relating to these liabilities is dependent on a variety of
factors beyond our control. See Contractual Obligations for the
estimated timing of such payments. In addition, as of
March 31, 2011, we had $3 million of receivables due
from former Parent and subsidiaries primarily relating to income
taxes, which is recorded in other current assets on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet. Such receivables totaled
$4 million as of December 31, 2010.
See Item 1A. Risk Factors for further information related
to contingent liabilities.

CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In presenting our financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
therein. Several of the estimates and assumptions we are
required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain
as they pertain to future events. However, events that are
outside of our control cannot be predicted and, as such, they
cannot be contemplated in evaluating such estimates and
assumptions. If there is a significant unfavorable change to
current conditions, it could result in a material adverse impact
to our consolidated results of operations, financial position
and liquidity. We believe that the estimates and assumptions we
used when preparing our financial statements were the most
appropriate at that time. These Consolidated Financial
Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report
filed on
Form 10-K
with the SEC on February 22, 2011, which includes a
description of our critical accounting policies that involve
subjective and complex judgments that could potentially affect
reported results. While there have been no material changes to
our critical accounting policies as to the methodologies or
assumptions we apply under them, we continue to monitor such
methodologies and assumptions.
|
|
Item 3.
|
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks.
|
We assess our market risk based on changes in interest and
foreign currency exchange rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis
that measures the potential impact in earnings, fair values and
cash flows based on a hypothetical 10% change (increase and
decrease) in interest and foreign currency rates. We used
March 31, 2011 market rates to perform a sensitivity
analysis separately for each of our market risk exposures. The
estimates assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate
yield curves and exchange rates. We have determined, through
such analyses, that the impact of a 10% change in interest and
foreign currency exchange rates and prices on our earnings, fair
values and cash flows would not be material.
|
|
Item 4.
|
Controls
and Procedures.
|
|
|
(a)
|
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Our
management, with the participation of our Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such
term is defined in Rule
13a-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered
by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded
that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting.
There have been no changes in our
internal control over financial reporting (as such term is
defined in
Rule 13a-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) during the period to which this report
relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
|
41
PART IIOTHER
INFORMATION
|
|
Item 1.
|
Legal
Proceedings.
|
We are involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the
ordinary course of business, none of which, in the opinion of
management, is expected to have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations or financial condition. See Note 11
to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of
claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our
business and Note 16 for a description of our obligations
regarding Cendant contingent litigation.
Before you invest in our securities you should carefully
consider each of the following risk factors and all of the other
information provided in this report. We believe that the
following information identifies the most significant risks that
may impact us. However, the risks and uncertainties we face are
not limited to those set forth in the risk factors described
below. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to
us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also
adversely affect our business. In addition, past financial
performance may not be a reliable indicator of future
performance and historical trends should not be used to
anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of the
following risks and uncertainties develops into an actual event,
the event could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition or results of operations. In such case, the
trading price of our common stock could decline.
The
hospitality industry is highly competitive and we are subject to
risks relating to competition that may adversely affect our
performance.
We will be adversely impacted if we cannot compete effectively
in the highly competitive hospitality industry. Our continued
success depends upon our ability to compete effectively in
markets that contain numerous competitors, some of which may
have significantly greater financial, marketing and other
resources than we have. Competition may reduce fee structures,
potentially causing us to lower our fees or prices, which may
adversely impact our profits. New competition or existing
competition that uses a business model that is different from
our business model may put pressure on us to change our model so
that we can remain competitive.
Our
revenues are highly dependent on the travel industry and
declines in or disruptions to the travel industry, such as those
caused by economic slowdown, terrorism, political strife, acts
of God and war may adversely affect us.
Declines in or disruptions to the travel industry may adversely
impact us. Risks affecting the travel industry include: economic
slowdown and recession; economic factors, such as increased
costs of living and reduced discretionary income, adversely
impacting consumers and businesses decisions to use
and consume travel services and products; terrorist incidents
and threats (and associated heightened travel security
measures); political strife; acts of God (such as earthquakes,
hurricanes, fires, floods, volcanoes and other natural
disasters); war; pandemics or threat of pandemics (such as the
H1N1 flu); environmental disasters (such as the Gulf of Mexico
oil spill); increased pricing, financial instability and
capacity constraints of air carriers; airline job actions and
strikes; and increases in gasoline and other fuel prices.
We are
subject to operating or other risks common to the hospitality
industry.
Our business is subject to numerous operating or other risks
common to the hospitality industry including:
|
|
|
|
·
|
changes in operating costs, including inflation, energy, labor
costs (including minimum wage increases and unionization),
workers compensation and health-care related costs and
insurance;
|
|
|
·
|
changes in desirability of geographic regions of the hotels or
resorts in our business;
|
|
|
·
|
changes in the supply and demand for hotel rooms, vacation
exchange and rental services and vacation ownership services and
products;
|
|
|
·
|
seasonality in our businesses, which may cause fluctuations in
our operating results;
|
|
|
·
|
geographic concentrations of our operations and customers;
|
|
|
·
|
increases in costs due to inflation that may not be fully offset
by price and fee increases in our business;
|
|
|
·
|
availability of acceptable financing and cost of capital as they
apply to us, our customers, current and potential hotel
franchisees and developers, owners of hotels with which we have
hotel management contracts, our RCI affiliates and other
developers of vacation ownership resorts;
|
|
|
·
|
our ability to securitize the receivables that we originate in
connection with sales of vacation ownership interests;
|
42
|
|
|
|
·
|
the risk that purchasers of vacation ownership interests who
finance a portion of the purchase price default on their loans
due to adverse macro or personal economic conditions or
otherwise, which would increase loan loss reserves and adversely
affect loan portfolio performance; that if such defaults occur
during the early part of the loan amortization period we will
not have recovered the marketing, selling, administrative and
other costs associated with such vacation ownership interest;
such costs will be incurred again in connection with the resale
of the repossessed vacation ownership interest; and the value we
recover in a default is not, in all instances, sufficient to
cover the outstanding debt;
|
|
|
·
|
the quality of the services provided by franchisees, our
vacation exchange and rentals business, resorts with units that
are exchanged through our vacation exchange business
and/or
resorts in which we sell vacation ownership interests may
adversely affect our image and reputation;
|
|
|
·
|
our ability to generate sufficient cash to buy from third-party
suppliers the products that we need to provide to the
participants in our points programs who want to redeem points
for such products;
|
|
|
·
|
overbuilding in one or more segments of the hospitality industry
and/or
in
one or more geographic regions;
|
|
|
·
|
changes in the number and occupancy and room rates of hotels
operating under franchise and management agreements;
|
|
|
·
|
changes in the relative mix of franchised hotels in the various
lodging industry price categories;
|
|
|
·
|
our ability to develop and maintain positive relations and
contractual arrangements with current and potential franchisees,
hotel owners, vacation exchange members, vacation ownership
interest owners, resorts with units that are exchanged through
our vacation exchange business
and/or
owners of vacation properties that our vacation rentals business
markets for rental;
|
|
|
·
|
the availability of and competition for desirable sites for the
development of vacation ownership properties; difficulties
associated with obtaining entitlements to develop vacation
ownership properties; liability under state and local laws with
respect to any construction defects in the vacation ownership
properties we develop; and our ability to adjust our pace of
completion of resort development relative to the pace of our
sales of the underlying vacation ownership interests;
|
|
|
·
|
our ability to adjust our business model to generate greater
cash flow and require less capital expenditures;
|
|
|
·
|
private resale of vacation ownership interests, which could
adversely affect our vacation ownership resorts and vacation
exchange businesses;
|
|
|
·
|
revenues from our lodging business are indirectly affected by
our franchisees pricing decisions;
|
|
|
·
|
organized labor activities and associated litigation;
|
|
|
·
|
maintenance and infringement of our intellectual property;
|
|
|
·
|
the bankruptcy or insolvency of any one of our customers, which
could impair our ability to collect outstanding fees or other
amounts due or otherwise exercise our contractual rights;
|
|
|
·
|
increases in the use of third-party Internet services to book
online hotel reservations; and
|
|
|
·
|
disruptions in relationships with third parties, including
marketing alliances and affiliations with
e-commerce
channels.
|
We may
not be able to achieve our growth objectives.
We may not be able to achieve our growth objectives for
increasing our cash flows, the number of franchised
and/or
managed properties in our lodging business, the number of
vacation exchange members in our vacation exchange business, the
number of rental weeks sold by our vacation rentals business and
the number of tours generated and vacation ownership interests
sold by our vacation ownership business.
We may be unable to identify acquisition targets that complement
our businesses, and if we are able to identify suitable
acquisition targets, we may not be able to complete acquisitions
on commercially reasonable terms. Our ability to complete
acquisitions depends on a variety of factors, including our
ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms and requisite
government approvals. If we are able to complete acquisitions,
there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve the
revenue and cost benefits that we expected in connection with
such acquisitions or to successfully integrate the acquired
businesses into our existing operations.
43
Our
international operations are subject to risks not generally
applicable to our domestic operations.
Our international operations are subject to numerous risks
including exposure to local economic conditions; potential
adverse changes in the diplomatic relations of foreign countries
with the U.S.; hostility from local populations; restrictions
and taxes on the withdrawal of foreign investment and earnings;
government policies against businesses owned by foreigners;
investment restrictions or requirements; diminished ability to
legally enforce our contractual rights in foreign countries;
foreign exchange restrictions; fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates; local laws might conflict with U.S. laws;
withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by
subsidiaries; and changes in and application of foreign taxation
structures including value added taxes.
We are
subject to risks related to litigation filed by or against
us.
We are subject to a number of legal actions and the risk of
future litigation as described under Legal
Proceedings. We cannot predict with certainty the ultimate
outcome and related damages and costs of litigation and other
proceedings filed by or against us. Adverse results in
litigation and other proceedings may harm our business.
We are
subject to certain risks related to our indebtedness, hedging
transactions, our securitization of certain of our assets, our
surety bond requirements, the cost and availability of capital
and the extension of credit by us.
We are a borrower of funds under our credit facilities, credit
lines, senior notes and securitization financings. We extend
credit when we finance purchases of vacation ownership
interests. We use financial instruments to reduce or hedge our
financial exposure to the effects of currency and interest rate
fluctuations. We are required to post surety bonds in connection
with our development activities. In connection with our debt
obligations, hedging transactions, the securitization of certain
of our assets, our surety bond requirements, the cost and
availability of capital and the extension of credit by us, we
are subject to numerous risks including:
|
|
|
|
·
|
our cash flows from operations or available lines of credit may
be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and
interest, which could result in a default and acceleration of
the underlying debt;
|
|
|
·
|
if we are unable to comply with the terms of the financial
covenants under our revolving credit facility, including a
breach of the financial ratios or tests, such non-compliance
could result in a default and acceleration of the underlying
revolver debt and under other debt instruments that contain
cross-default provisions;
|
|
|
·
|
our leverage may adversely affect our ability to obtain
additional financing;
|
|
|
·
|
our leverage may require the dedication of a significant portion
of our cash flows to the payment of principal and interest thus
reducing the availability of cash flows to fund working capital,
capital expenditures or other operating needs;
|
|
|
·
|
increases in interest rates;
|
|
|
·
|
rating agency downgrades for our debt that could increase our
borrowing costs;
|
|
|
·
|
failure or non-performance of counterparties for foreign
exchange and interest rate hedging transactions;
|
|
|
·
|
we may not be able to securitize our vacation ownership contract
receivables on terms acceptable to us because of, among other
factors, the performance of the vacation ownership contract
receivables, adverse conditions in the market for vacation
ownership loan-backed notes and asset-backed notes in general
and the risk that the actual amount of uncollectible accounts on
our securitized vacation ownership contract receivables and
other credit we extend is greater than expected;
|
|
|
·
|
our securitizations contain portfolio performance triggers
which, if violated, may result in a disruption or loss of cash
flow from such transactions;
|
|
|
·
|
a reduction in commitments from surety bond providers may impair
our vacation ownership business by requiring us to escrow cash
in order to meet regulatory requirements of certain states;
|
|
|
·
|
prohibitive cost and inadequate availability of capital could
restrict the development or acquisition of vacation ownership
resorts by us and the financing of purchases of vacation
ownership interests; and
|
|
|
·
|
if interest rates increase significantly, we may not be able to
increase the interest rate offered to finance purchases of
vacation ownership interests by the same amount of the increase.
|
44
Economic
conditions affecting the hospitality industry, the global
economy and credit markets generally may adversely affect our
business and results of operations, our ability to obtain
financing and/or securitize our receivables on reasonable and
acceptable terms, the performance of our loan portfolio and the
market price of our common stock.
The future economic environment for the hospitality industry and
the global economy may continue to be challenged. The
hospitality industry has experienced and may continue to
experience significant downturns in connection with, or in
anticipation of, declines in general economic conditions. The
current economy has been characterized by higher unemployment,
lower family income, lower business investment and lower
consumer spending, leading to lower demand for hospitality
services and products. Declines in consumer and commercial
spending may adversely affect our revenues and profits.
Uncertainty in the equity and credit markets may negatively
affect our ability to access short-term and long-term financing
on reasonable terms or at all, which would negatively impact our
liquidity and financial condition. In addition, if one or more
of the financial institutions that support our existing credit
facilities fails, we may not be able to find a replacement,
which would negatively impact our ability to borrow under the
credit facilities. Disruptions in the financial markets may
adversely affect our credit rating and the market value of our
common stock. If we are unable to refinance, if necessary, our
outstanding debt when due, our results of operations and
financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.
While we believe we have adequate sources of liquidity to meet
our anticipated requirements for working capital, debt service
and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future, if our cash
flow or capital resources prove inadequate we could face
liquidity problems that could materially and adversely affect
our results of operations and financial condition.
Our liquidity as it relates to our vacation ownership contract
receivables securitization program could be adversely affected
if we were to fail to renew or replace our securitization
warehouse conduit facility on its renewal date or if a
particular receivables pool were to fail to meet certain ratios,
which could occur in certain instances if the default rates or
other credit metrics of the underlying vacation ownership
contract receivables deteriorate. Our ability to sell securities
backed by our vacation ownership contract receivables depends on
the continued ability and willingness of capital market
participants to invest in such securities. It is possible that
asset-backed securities issued pursuant to our securitization
programs could in the future be downgraded by credit agencies.
If a downgrade occurs, our ability to complete other
securitization transactions on acceptable terms or at all could
be jeopardized, and we could be forced to rely on other
potentially more expensive and less attractive funding sources,
to the extent available, which would decrease our profitability
and may require us to adjust our business operations
accordingly, including reducing or suspending our financing to
purchasers of vacation ownership interests.
Our
businesses are subject to extensive regulation and the cost of
compliance or failure to comply with such regulations may
adversely affect us.
Our businesses are heavily regulated by federal, state and local
governments in the countries in which our operations are
conducted. In addition, domestic and foreign federal, state and
local regulators may enact new laws and regulations that may
reduce our revenues, cause our expenses to increase
and/or
require us to modify substantially our business practices. If we
are not in compliance with applicable laws and regulations,
including, among others, those governing franchising, timeshare,
lending, privacy, marketing and sales, unfair and deceptive
trade practices, telemarketing, licensing, labor, employment,
health care, health and safety, accessibility, immigration,
gaming, environmental (including climate change), and
regulations applicable under the Office of Foreign Asset Control
and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (and local equivalents in
international jurisdictions), we may be subject to regulatory
investigations or actions, fines, penalties and potential
criminal prosecution.
We are
subject to risks related to corporate responsibility.
Many factors influence our reputation and the value of our
brands including perceptions of us held by our key stakeholders
and the communities in which we do business. Businesses face
increasing scrutiny of the social and environmental impact of
their actions and there is a risk of damage to our reputation
and the value of our brands if we fail to act responsibly or
comply with regulatory requirements in a number of areas such as
safety and security, sustainability, responsible tourism,
environmental management, human rights and support for local
communities.
We are
dependent on our senior management.
We believe that our future growth depends, in part, on the
continued services of our senior management team. Losing the
services of any members of our senior management team could
adversely affect our strategic and customer relationships and
impede our ability to execute our business strategies.
45
Our
inability to adequately protect and maintain our intellectual
property could adversely affect our business.
Our inability to adequately protect and maintain our trademarks,
trade dress and other intellectual property rights could
adversely affect our business. We generate, maintain, utilize
and enforce a substantial portfolio of trademarks, trade dress
and other intellectual property that are fundamental to the
brands that we use in all of our businesses. There can be no
assurance that the steps we take to protect our intellectual
property will be adequate. Any event that materially damages the
reputation of one or more of our brands could have an adverse
impact on the value of that brand and subsequent revenues from
that brand. The value of any brand is influenced by a number of
factors, including consumer preference and perception and our
failure to ensure compliance with brand standards.
Disasters,
disruptions and other impairment of our information technologies
and systems could adversely affect our business.
Any disaster, disruption or other impairment in our technology
capabilities could harm our business. Our businesses depend upon
the use of sophisticated information technologies and systems,
including technology and systems utilized for reservation
systems, vacation exchange systems, hotel/property management,
communications, procurement, member record databases, call
centers, operation of our loyalty programs and administrative
systems. The operation, maintenance and updating of these
technologies and systems is dependent upon internal and
third-party technologies, systems and services for which there
is no assurance of uninterrupted availability or adequate
protection.
Failure
to maintain the security of personally identifiable and other
information, non-compliance with our contractual or other legal
obligations regarding such information, or a violation of the
Companys privacy and security policies with respect to
such information, could adversely affect us.
In connection with our business, we and our service providers
collect and retain significant volumes of certain types of
personally identifiable and other information pertaining to our
customers, stockholders and employees. The legal, regulatory and
contractual environment surrounding information security and
privacy is constantly evolving and the hospitality industry is
under increasing attack by cyber-criminals in the U.S. and
other jurisdictions in which we operate. A significant actual or
potential theft, loss
,
fraudulent use or mis-use of
customer, stockholder, employee or our data by cybercrime or
otherwise, non-compliance with our contractual or other legal
obligations regarding such data or a violation of our privacy
and security policies with respect to such data could adversely
impact our reputation and could result in significant costs,
fines, litigation or regulatory action against us.
The
market price of our shares may fluctuate.
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate depending
upon many factors, some of which may be beyond our control,
including our quarterly or annual earnings or those of other
companies in our industry; actual or anticipated fluctuations in
our operating results due to seasonality and other factors
related to our business; changes in accounting principles or
rules; announcements by us or our competitors of significant
acquisitions or dispositions; the failure of securities analysts
to cover our common stock; changes in earnings estimates by
securities analysts or our ability to meet those estimates; the
operating and stock price performance of comparable companies;
overall market fluctuations; and general economic conditions.
Stock markets in general have experienced volatility that has
often been unrelated to the operating performance of a
particular company. These broad market fluctuations may
adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
Your
percentage ownership in Wyndham Worldwide may be diluted in the
future.
Your percentage ownership in Wyndham Worldwide may be diluted in
the future because of equity awards that we expect will be
granted over time to our directors, officers and employees as
well as due to the exercise of options. In addition, our Board
may issue shares of our common and preferred stock, and debt
securities convertible into shares of our common and preferred
stock, up to certain regulatory thresholds without shareholder
approval.
Provisions
in our certificate of incorporation, by-laws and under Delaware
law may prevent or delay an acquisition of our Company, which
could impact the trading price of our common stock.
Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws and Delaware law
contain provisions that are intended to deter coercive takeover
practices and inadequate takeover bids by making such practices
or bids unacceptably expensive and to encourage prospective
acquirors to negotiate with our Board rather than to attempt a
hostile takeover. These provisions include a Board of Directors
that is divided into three classes with staggered terms;
elimination of the right of our stockholders to act by written
consent; rules regarding how stockholders may present proposals
or nominate directors for election at stockholder meetings; the
right of our Board to issue preferred stock without stockholder
approval; and limitations on the
46
right of stockholders to remove directors. Delaware law also
imposes restrictions on mergers and other business combinations
between us and any holder of 15% or more of our outstanding
shares of common stock.
We cannot
provide assurance that we will continue to pay
dividends.
There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient surplus
under Delaware law to be able to continue to pay dividends. This
may result from extraordinary cash expenses, actual expenses
exceeding contemplated costs, funding of capital expenditures,
increases in reserves or lack of available capital. Our Board of
Directors may also suspend the payment of dividends if the Board
deems such action to be in the best interests of the Company or
stockholders. If we do not pay dividends, the price of our
common stock must appreciate for you to realize a gain on your
investment in Wyndham Worldwide. This appreciation may not occur
and our stock may in fact depreciate in value.
We are
responsible for certain of Cendants contingent and other
corporate liabilities.
Under the separation agreement and the tax sharing agreement
that we executed with Cendant (now Avis Budget Group) and former
Cendant units, Realogy and Travelport, we and Realogy generally
are responsible for 37.5% and 62.5%, respectively, of certain of
Cendants contingent and other corporate liabilities and
associated costs, including certain contingent and other
corporate liabilities of Cendant
and/or
its
subsidiaries to the extent incurred on or prior to
August 23, 2006, including liabilities relating to certain
of Cendants terminated or divested businesses, the
Travelport sale, the Cendant litigation described in this
report, actions with respect to the separation plan and payments
under certain contracts that were not allocated to any specific
party in connection with the separation.
If any party responsible for the liabilities described above
were to default on its obligations, each non-defaulting party
(including Avis Budget) would be required to pay an equal
portion of the amounts in default. Accordingly, we could, under
certain circumstances, be obligated to pay amounts in excess of
our share of the assumed obligations related to such liabilities
including associated costs. On or about April 10, 2007,
Realogy Corporation was acquired by affiliates of Apollo
Management VI, L.P. and its stock is no longer publicly traded.
The acquisition does not negate Realogys obligation to
satisfy 62.5% of such contingent and other corporate liabilities
of Cendant or its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of the
separation agreement. As a result of the acquisition, however,
Realogy has greater debt obligations and its ability to satisfy
its portion of these liabilities may be adversely impacted. In
accordance with the terms of the separation agreement, Realogy
posted a letter of credit in April 2007 for our and
Cendants benefit to cover its estimated share of the
assumed liabilities discussed above, although there can be no
assurance that such letter of credit will be sufficient to cover
Realogys actual obligations if and when they arise.
We may be
required to write-off all or a portion of the remaining value of
our goodwill or other intangibles of companies we have
acquired.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, we review our
intangible assets, including goodwill, for impairment at least
annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the
carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors that may be
considered a change in circumstances, indicating that the
carrying value of our goodwill or other intangible assets may
not be recoverable, include a sustained decline in our stock
price and market capitalization, reduced future cash flow
estimates and slower growth rates in our industry. We may be
required to record a significant non-cash impairment charge in
our financial statements during the period in which any
impairment of our goodwill or other intangible assets is
determined, negatively impacting our results of operations and
stockholders equity.

We expect to generate annual net cash provided by operating
activities less capital expenditures, equity investments and
development advances of approximately $600 million to
$700 million, annually, beginning in 2011. A portion of
this cash flow is expected to be returned to our shareholders in
the form of share repurchases and dividends. On August 20,
2007, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase
program that enables us to purchase up to $200 million of
our common stock and subsequently, on July 22, 2010,
increased the authorization for the stock repurchase program by
$300 million. During the first quarter of 2011, repurchase
capacity increased $6 million from proceeds received from
stock option exercises. Such repurchase capacity will continue
to be increased by proceeds received from future stock option
exercises.
On April 25, 2011, our Board of Directors increased the
authorization for the stock repurchase program by
$500 million. During the period April 1, 2011 through
April 28, 2011, we repurchased an additional 3 million
shares at an average price of $32.13. We currently have
$497 million remaining availability in our program. The
amount and timing of specific repurchases are subject to market
conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors.
Repurchases may be conducted in the open market or in privately
negotiated transactions.
