HILTON GRAND VACATIONS INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1: Organization
Our Business
Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (“Hilton Grand Vacations,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “HGV” or the “Company”) is a global timeshare company engaged in developing, marketing, selling and managing timeshare resorts primarily under the Hilton Grand Vacations brand. Our operations primarily consist of: selling vacation ownership intervals (“VOIs”) for us and third parties; financing and servicing loans provided to consumers for their timeshare purchases; operating resorts; and managing our points-based Hilton Grand Vacations Club exchange program (collectively the “Club”). As of June 30, 2020, we had 60 properties, comprised of 9,595 units, located in the United States (“U.S.”), Japan, the United Kingdom, Italy and Barbados. A significant number of our properties and units are concentrated in Florida, Hawaii, Nevada, New York, and South Carolina, with particular concentration of our units in Florida, Hawaii and New York.
Note 2: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include 100 percent of our assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows as well as all entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Although we believe the disclosures made are adequate to prevent information presented from being misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 2, 2020.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and, accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance.
COVID-19
The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has significantly negatively impacted the hospitality, travel and leisure industries due to various mandates and orders to close non-essential businesses, impose travel restrictions, require “stay-at-home” and/or self-quarantine, and require similar actions. Such restrictions and directives have resulted in cancellations and significant reductions in travel around the world, as well as the negative global economic conditions resulting from the impact of COVID-19. As a result of the reduction in travel, during the first quarter of 2020 we closed substantially all of our resorts and sales centers.
In addition, in response to the impact of COVID-19, we have taken actions to ensure the continuity of our business and operations, including furloughing approximately 67 percent of our employees, implementing salary reductions for the remaining active employees, eliminating all discretionary spending, and reducing our planned investment in new inventory by approximately $200 million. Further, during the first quarter of 2020, we drew down on the availability under our credit facility as a precautionary measure to ensure liquidity for a sustained period and on May 8, 2020, we amended our Credit Agreement which amended certain terms of the credit facilities (“Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) to provide us with both near-term and long-term flexibility with respect to satisfying certain negative and financial covenant ratios as may be needed due to the ongoing and uncertain future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations. See Note 11: Debt and Non-recourse debt for additional actions taken with respect to our financial flexibility.
Prior to re-opening our resorts and sales centers, we introduced the HGV Enhanced Care Guidelines, designed to provide owners, guests and team members with the highest level of cleaning protocols and safety standards recommended by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and cleaning solutions approved by the Environmental Protection Agency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Along with providing personal protective equipment to team members, these Enhanced Care Guidelines include low-touch arrivals and departures, frequent and thorough cleaning, reduction of paper

items, reduced capacity for our pool decks and fitness centers, and new technologies. While operations were suspended, essential resort personnel worked diligently maintaining the resorts for a safe re-opening. Annual deep cleanings, typically scheduled during slower seasons, were moved up and completed, allowing the resorts to be in top shape when owners and guests arrive.
Beginning in May 2020, various states and counties started to allow gradual relaxation of restrictions on activities and a resumption of businesses. In response, we began a phased reopening of resorts and resumption of our business activities during the second quarter of 2020, but under new operating guidelines and with safety measures. As of June 30, 2020, we have approximately two thirds of our resorts and sales centers open and currently operating however, many of our resorts and sales centers are operating with significant capacity constraints and subject to various safety measures.
While we plan to continue to reopen our resorts and resume our business as conditions permit, the pandemic continues to be unprecedented and rapidly changing, and has unknown duration and severity. Further, various state and local government officials may issue new or revised orders that are different than current ones under which we are operating. Accordingly, there remains significant uncertainty as to the degree of impact and duration of the conditions stemming from the ongoing pandemic on our revenues, net income and other operating results, as well as our business and operations generally. Any significantly extended duration or worsening of the conditions associated with the pandemic may adversely impact our liquidity in the longer term, including our ability to finance our day-to-day business and operations, and may adversely affect our ability to comply with our financial covenants under our debt obligations notwithstanding the recent amendments discussed above.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable primarily consists of trade receivables and is reported at the customers’ outstanding balances, less any allowance for credit losses. The expected credit losses are measured using an expected-loss model that reflects the risk of loss and considers the losses expected over the outstanding period of the receivable.
Cloud Computing Arrangements
We capitalize certain costs associated with cloud computing arrangements (“CCAs”). These costs are included in Other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and are expensed in the same line as the hosting arrangement in our condensed consolidated statements of operations using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, which is generally three to five years. We review the CCAs for impairment when circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of an asset group is not recoverable, we recognize an impairment loss for the excess of carrying value over the fair value in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Derivative Instruments
We use derivative instruments as part of our overall strategy to manage our exposure to market risks primarily associated with fluctuations in interest rates and do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We record the derivative instrument at fair value either as an asset or liability. We assess the effectiveness of our hedging instruments quarterly and record changes in fair value in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) for the effective portion of the hedge and record the ineffectiveness of a hedge immediately in earnings in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We release the derivative’s gain or loss from AOCI to match the timing of the underlying hedged items’ effect on earnings.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted Accounting Standards
On January 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, (“ASU 2016-13”), Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”), using the modified retrospective approach. The new standard requires that expected credit losses relating to financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis are measured using an expected-loss model, replacing the current incurred-loss model, and recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and no cumulative adjustment was recorded primarily as our timeshare financing receivables are recorded net of an allowance that is calculated in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2018-15 (“ASU 2018-15”), Customer’s Accounting Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract, which requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to defer and recognize as an asset. ASU 2018-15 generally aligns the guidance on recognizing implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with that for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software, including hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license. This ASU has been adopted using the retrospective approach. Accordingly, previously reported financial information has been restated to reflect the application of the new standard to the comparative periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the SEC issued a final rule, Financial Disclosures About Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant’s Securities, which simplifies the disclosure requirements related to registered securities under Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. The rule replaces the requirement for a parent entity to provide detailed disclosures with regard to guarantors of registered debt offerings within the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements. Under the final rule, a parent entity is required to present summarized financial information of the issuers’ and guarantors’ balance sheets and statements of operations on a consolidated basis. It also requires qualitative disclosures with respect to information about guarantors and the terms and conditions of guarantees. These disclosures may be provided outside the footnotes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. We early adopted the reporting requirements of the rule in the second quarter of 2020 and elected to provide these disclosures in Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 (“ASU 2019-12”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and which also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The provisions of this ASU are effective for reporting periods after December 15, 2020. We are currently evaluating the effect that this ASU will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The amendments are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the effect that this ASU will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our accounts receivables that relate to our contracts with customers includes amounts associated with our contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations related primarily to our fee-for-service arrangements and homeowners’ associations (“HOA”) management agreements and are settled when the related cash is received. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional and is only contingent on the passage of time. Refer to Note 6: Timeshare Financing Receivables for information on balances and changes in balances during the period related to our timeshare financing receivables.
Contract assets relate to incentive fees that can be earned for meeting certain target on sales of VOIs at properties under our fee-for-service arrangements; however, our right to consideration is conditional upon completing the requirements of the annual incentive fee period.
Contract liabilities include payments received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations. Such contract liabilities include advance deposits received on prepaid vacation packages for future stays at our resorts, deferred revenues related to sales of VOIs of projects under construction, club activation fees and annual dues and the liability for Club Bonus Points awarded to our customers for purchase of VOIs at our properties or properties under our fee-for-service arrangements that may be redeemed in the future.
Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations
Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contract revenue that has not yet been recognized. Our contracts with remaining performance obligations primarily include (i) sales of VOIs under construction, (ii) Club activation fees paid at closing of a VOI purchase, (iii) customers’ advanced deposits on prepaid vacation packages and (iv) Club Bonus Points that may be redeemed in the future. The following table represents the deferred revenue, cost of VOI sales and direct selling costs from sales of VOIs related to projects under construction as of June 30, 2020:

Our accounts receivable are all due within one year of origination. We use delinquency status and economic factors as credit quality indicators to monitor our receivables within the scope of ASC 326 and use these as a basis for how we develop our expected loss estimates.
We sell VOIs on behalf of third-party developers using the Hilton Grand Vacations brand in exchange for sales, marketing and brand fees. We use historical losses and economic factors as a basis to develop our allowance for credit losses. Under these fee-for-service arrangements, we earn commission fees based on a percentage of total interval sales. Additionally, the terms include provisions requiring the reduction of fees earned for defaults and cancellations.

Includes amounts used as collateral to secure a non-recourse revolving timeshare receivable credit facility ("Timeshare Facility") as well as amounts held as future collateral for securitization activities. |
As of June 30, 2020, we had timeshare financing receivables with a carrying value of $20 million securing the Timeshare Facility in anticipation of future financing activities. As of December 31, 2019, we had no timeshare receivables pledged to the Timeshare Facility. We record an estimate of variable consideration for estimated defaults as a reduction of revenue from VOI sales at the time revenue is recognized on a VOI sale. We record the difference between the timeshare financing receivable and the variable consideration included in the transaction price for the sale of the related VOI as an allowance for financing receivables and record the receivable net of the allowance. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded an adjustment to our estimate of variable consideration of $45 million, which includes a $23 million revenue reduction related to changes in estimates primarily driven by economic factors surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
In June 2020, we completed a securitization of $300 million of gross timeshare financing receivables, which included a $15 million cash deposit that will be released upon future pledging of qualified collateral, and issued approximately $186 million of 2.74 percent notes, $66 million of 4.22 percent notes and $48 million of 6.42 percent notes, which have a stated maturity date of February 25, 2039. The securitization transaction did not qualify as a sale and, accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized. The transaction is considered a secured borrowing; therefore, the proceeds from the transaction are presented as non-recourse debt (collectively, the “Securitized Debt”). The proceeds were primarily used to pay down the remaining borrowings on our Timeshare Facility and general corporate operating expenses. See Note 11: Debt and Non-recourse Debt for additional information.
Our timeshare financing receivables as of June 30, 2020 mature as follows:

We evaluate this portfolio collectively for purposes of estimating variable consideration, since we hold a large group of homogeneous timeshare financing receivables which are individually immaterial. We monitor the credit quality of our receivables on an ongoing basis. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty or groups of counterparties. We use a technique referred to as static pool analysis as the basis for estimating expected defaults and determining our allowance for financing receivables losses on our timeshare financing receivables. For static pool analysis, we use certain key dimensions to stratify our portfolio, including FICO scores, equity percentage at the time of sale and certain other factors. The adequacy of the related allowance is determined by management through analysis of several factors, such as current economic conditions and industry trends, as well as the specific risk characteristics of the portfolio including assumed default rates, aging and historical write-offs of these receivables. The allowance is maintained at a level deemed adequate by management based on a periodic analysis of the mortgage portfolio.
We recognize interest income on our timeshare financing receivables as earned. As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019 we had $9 million of interest receivable outstanding included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The interest rate charged on the notes correlates to the risk profile of the customer at the time of purchase and the percentage of the purchase that is financed, among other factors. As of June 30, 2020, our timeshare financing receivables had interest rates ranging from 3.90 percent to 20.50 percent, a weighted-average interest rate of 12.56 percent, a weighted-average remaining term of 7.7 years and maturities through 2035.

Timeshare financing receivables without a FICO score are primarily related to foreign borrowers. |
We apply payments we receive for timeshare financing receivables, including those in non-accrual status, to amounts due in the following order: servicing fees; interest; principal; and late charges. Once a receivable is 91 days past due, we cease accruing interest and reverse the accrued interest recognized up to that point. We resume interest accrual for receivables for which we had previously ceased accruing interest once the receivable is less than 91 days past due. We fully reserve for a timeshare financing receivable in the month following the date that the receivable is 121 days past due and, subsequently, we write off the uncollectible balance against the reserve once the foreclosure process is complete and we receive the deed for the foreclosed unit.
13
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had ceased accruing interest on timeshare financing receivables with an aggregate principal balance of $101 million and $74 million, respectively. The following tables detail an aged analysis of our gross timeshare receivables balance:

Non-cash transfers are reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Note 9: Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we consolidated 5 and 4 variable interest entities (“VIEs”), respectively, that issued non-recourse debt backed by pledged assets consisting primarily of a pool of timeshare financing receivables which is without recourse to us. We are the primary beneficiaries of these VIEs as we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect their economic performance. We are also the servicer of these timeshare financing receivables and we are required to replace or repurchase timeshare financing receivables that are in default at their outstanding principal amounts. Additionally, we have the obligation to absorb their losses and the right to receive benefits that could be significant to them. Only the assets of our VIEs are available to settle the obligations of the respective entities.
Our condensed consolidated balance sheets included the assets and liabilities of these entities, which primarily consisted of the following:

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we did not provide any financial or other support to any VIEs that we were not previously contractually required to provide, nor do we intend to provide such support in the future.
Note 10: Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
As of June 30, 2020, we have 25 percent and 50 percent ownership interests in BRE Ace LLC and 1776 Holding LLC, respectively, that are deemed as VIEs. We do not consolidate BRE Ace LLC and 1776 Holding LLC because we are not the primary beneficiary. Our investment interests in and equity earned from both VIEs are included in the consolidated balance sheets as Investments in unconsolidated affiliates and in the consolidated statements of operations as Equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates, respectively.
We held investments in our two unconsolidated affiliates with aggregated debt balances of $471 million and $479 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The debt is secured by their assets and is without recourse to us. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our investment interests in the two unconsolidated affiliates is primarily limited to (i) the carrying amount of the investments which totals $48 million and $44 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively and (ii) receivables for commission and other fees earned under fee-for-service arrangements. See Note 17: Related Party Transactions for additional information.

In May 2020, we amended our Credit Agreement with respect to certain terms of our credit facilities (the “Amendment”) to provide flexibility with respect to satisfying certain financial covenant ratios as may be needed due to the ongoing and uncertain future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations. The borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement remained the same. In connection with the Amendment we incurred $1 million in debt issuance costs.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we borrowed $495 million and repaid $60 million (including recurring payments) under the senior secured credit facilities with an interest rate based on one month LIBOR plus 1.75 percent, subject to a 0.25 percent floor.
16
We primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy for our variable-rate debt. As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately $182 million of our Term Loan subject to interest rate swap. Such interest rate swaps converted the LIBOR-based variable rates on our Term Loan to an average fixed annual rate of 0.53 percent per annum through November 2023. Our interest rate swaps have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk and recorded as a liability in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2020. We characterize payments we make in connection with these derivative instruments as interest expense and a reclassification of accumulated other comprehensive income for presentation purposes. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded less than $1 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the hedge.
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $1 million of outstanding letters of credit under the revolving credit facility. We were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants as of June 30, 2020.

Amount relates to securitized debt only and does not include deferred financing costs of $2 million as of June 30, 2020 and $3 million as of December 31, 2019 relating to our Timeshare Facility which are included in Other Assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. |
In June 2020, we completed a securitization of $300 million of gross timeshare financing receivables and issued approximately $186 million of 2.74 percent notes, $66 million of 4.22 percent notes and $48 million of 6.42 percent notes due February 2039. The Securitized Debt is backed by pledged assets, consisting primarily of a pool of timeshare financing receivables secured by first mortgages or deeds of trust on timeshare interest and temporarily by a $15 million cash deposit, which is reflected as Restricted Cash in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Securitized Debt is a non-recourse obligation and is payable solely from the pool of timeshare financing receivables pledged as collateral to the debt. The proceeds were primarily used to pay down the remaining borrowings on our Timeshare Facility and general corporate operating expenses. In connection with the securitization we incurred $5 million in debt issuance costs.
The Timeshare Facility is a non-recourse obligation with a borrowing capacity of $450 million and is payable solely from the pool of timeshare financing receivables pledged as collateral and related assets. During the second quarter of 2020, we amended the Timeshare Facility, temporarily changing certain covenant requirements pricing and advance rates to be consistent with the amended corporate credit facility.
We are required to deposit payments received from customers on the timeshare financing receivables securing the Timeshare Facility and Securitized Debt into depository accounts maintained by third parties. On a monthly basis, the depository accounts are utilized to make required principal, interest and other payments due under the respective loan agreements. The balances in the depository accounts were $36 million and $26 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and were included in Restricted cash in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Our estimates of the fair values were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop the estimated fair values. The table above excludes cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, advance deposits and accrued liabilities, all of which had fair values approximating their carrying amounts due to the short maturities and liquidity of these instruments.
The estimated fair values of our timeshare financing receivables were determined using a discounted cash flow model. Our model incorporates default rates, coupon rates, credit quality and borrowing terms respective to the portfolio based on current market assumptions for similar types of arrangements.
18
The estimated fair values of our Level 1 debt was based on prices in active debt markets. The estimated fair value of our Level 3 debt and non-recourse debt were as follows:
|
• |
Debt - based on indicative quotes obtained for similar issuances and projected future cash flows discounted at risk-adjusted rates. |
|
• |
Non-recourse debt - based on projected future cash flows discounted at risk-adjusted rates. |
We do not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2020.
Note 13: Leases
We lease sales centers, office space and equipment under operating leases. Our leases expire at various dates from 2020 through 2030, with varying renewal and termination options. Our lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.
We recognize rent expense on leases with both contingent and non-contingent lease payment terms. Rent associated with non-contingent lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Rent expense for all operating leases for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $5 million and $4 million, respectively, and $10 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. This amount includes immaterial short-term leases and variable lease costs.

Note 14: Income Taxes
At the end of each quarter, we estimate the effective tax rate expected to be applied for the full year. The effective tax rate is determined by the level and composition of pre-tax ordinary income or loss, which is subject to federal, foreign and state and local income taxes. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was approximately 15 percent and 27 percent, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the tax benefit on our worldwide estimated ordinary loss being reduced by the incremental tax expense from the estimated ordinary income in our foreign jurisdictions, the interest due on income deferred related to installment sales, and the impact of estimated permanent differences between financial reporting and taxable income.
We have considered the income tax accounting and disclosure implications of the relief provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act enacted on March 27, 2020. The effect of tax law changes is required to be recognized either in the interim period in which the legislation is enacted or reflected in the computation of the annual effective tax rate, depending on the nature of the change. As of June 30, 2020, we evaluated the income tax provisions of the CARES Act and have determined there to be no effect on either the June 30, 2020 tax rate or the computation of the estimated effective tax rate for the year. We will continue to evaluate the income tax provisions of the CARES Act and monitor the developments in the jurisdictions where we have significant operations for tax law changes that could have income tax accounting and disclosure implications.
We have requested a change in accounting method effective for the taxable year beginning on January 1, 2020 and ending on December 31, 2020 which is pending IRS review. The impact of the requested method change will be included in the financial statements upon IRS consent.
Note 15: Share-Based Compensation
Stock Plan
We issue service-based restricted stock units (“Service RSUs”), service and performance-based restricted stock units (“Performance RSUs”) and nonqualified stock options (“Options”) to certain employees and directors. We recognized share-based compensation expense of $6 million and $7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $4 million and $12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, unrecognized compensation costs for unvested awards were approximately $25 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years. As of June 30, 2020, there were 5,146,485 shares of common stock available for future issuance under this plan.
Service RSUs
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we issued 652,583 Service RSUs with a grant date fair value of $25.24, which generally vest in equal annual installments over three years from the date of grant.
Options
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we issued 566,401 Options with an exercise price of $25.80, which vest over three years from the date of the grant.
The weighted-average grant date fair value of these options was $9.14, which was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Performance Shares
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we issued 172,620 Performance RSUs with a grant date fair value of $25.80. The Performance RSUs are settled at the end of a three-year performance period, with 70 percent of the Performance RSUs subject to achievement based on the Company’s adjusted earnings before interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization further adjusted for net deferral and recognition of revenues and related direct expenses related to sales of VOIs of projects under construction. The remaining 30 percent of the Performance RSUs are subject to the achievement of certain contract sales targets. In March 2020, we determined that the performance conditions for the 2018, 2019, and 2020 Performance RSU awards were improbable of achievement due to the significantly negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, demand for travel and leisure, and our business. As a result, we reversed $8 million of previously recognized share-based compensation expense related to our 2018 and 2019 Performance RSUs and ceased accruing expense related to Performance RSUs granted in 2018, 2019, and 2020, during the three months ended March 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, we determined the performance conditions continue to be improbable of achievement and therefore no expense was recognized in the current period.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In March 2017, the Board of Directors adopted the Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which became effective during 2017. In connection with the Plan, we issued 2.5 million shares of common stock which may be purchased under the ESPP. The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock at a price per share not less than 95 percent of the fair market value per share of common stock on the purchase date, up to a maximum threshold established by the plan administrator for the offering period. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized less than $1 million of compensation expense related to this plan.
Note 16: Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The following table presents the calculation of our basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”). The weighted- average shares outstanding used to compute basic EPS and diluted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was 85,002,791 and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 85,258,963. The weighted-average shares outstanding used to compute basic EPS and diluted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was 89,849,803 and 90,271,976, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 91,959,041 and 92,421,752, respectively.

The dilutive effect of outstanding share-based compensation awards is reflected in diluted earnings per common share by application of the treasury stock method using average market prices during the period. Potentially dilutive shares of 175,635 and 357,912 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding and diluted earnings per share as a result of our net loss position.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we excluded 3,027,069 and 2,429,811, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we excluded 1,433,833 and 1,168,159 share-based compensation awards, respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

Note 18: Business Segments
We operate our business through the following two segments:
|
• |
Real estate sales and financing – We market and sell VOIs that we own. We also source VOIs through fee-for-service agreements with third-party developers. Related to the sales of the VOIs that we own, we provide consumer financing, which includes interest income generated from the origination of consumer receivables to customers to finance their purchase of VOIs and revenue from servicing the timeshare financing receivables. We also generate fee revenue from servicing the timeshare financing receivables provided by third-party developers to purchasers of their VOIs. |
|
• |
Resort operations and club management – We manage the Club, earn activation fees, annual dues and transaction fees from member exchanges for other vacation products. We earn fees for managing the timeshare properties. We generate rental revenue from unit rentals of unsold inventory and inventory made available due to ownership exchanges under our Club program. We also earn revenue from food and beverage, retail and spa outlets at our timeshare properties. |
The performance of our operating segments is evaluated primarily based on adjusted earnings before interest expense (excluding non-recourse debt), taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA which has been further adjusted to exclude certain items, including, but not limited to, gains, losses and expenses in connection with: (i) asset dispositions; (ii) foreign currency transactions; (iii) debt restructurings/retirements; (iv) non-cash impairment losses; (v) reorganization costs, including severance and relocation costs; (vi) share-based and other compensation expenses; (vii) costs related to the spin-off; and (viii) other items.
We do not include equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates in our measures of segment operating performance.

Note 19: Commitments and Contingencies
We have entered into certain arrangements with developers whereby we have committed to purchase vacation ownership units or other real estate at a future date to be marketed and sold under our Hilton Grand Vacations brand. As of June 30, 2020, we were committed to purchase approximately $464 million of inventory and land over a period of 11 years and $26 million of other commitments under the normal course of business. Additionally, we have committed to develop additional vacation ownership units at an existing resort in Japan. During the second quarter of 2020, we entered into an agreement to exchange parcels of land in Hawaii, subject to the successful completion of zoning, land use requirements and other applicable regulatory requirements. The actual amount and timing of the acquisitions is subject to change pursuant to the terms of the respective arrangements, which could also allow for cancellation in certain circumstances. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we purchased $9 million and $28 million, respectively, as required under our inventory-related purchase commitments. As of June 30, 2020, our remaining obligation pursuant to these arrangements were expected to be incurred as follows:

We are involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business, some of which includes claims for substantial sums. Management has evaluated these legal matters and we believe that possible losses derived from an unfavorable outcome that is reasonably possible or remote is not reasonably estimable. While the actual results of claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we expect that the resolution of all pending or threatened claims and litigation as of June 30, 2020, will not materially affect our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 20: Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated all subsequent events through July 30, 2020, the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. The results of management’s analysis indicated no significant subsequent events have occurred that required consideration as adjustments to our disclosures in the unaudited financial statements.

Overview
Our Business
We are a timeshare company that markets and sells VOIs, manages resorts in top leisure and urban destinations, and operates a points-based vacation club. As of June 30, 2020, we have 60 properties, representing 9,595 units, that are primarily located in vacation destinations such as Orlando, Las Vegas, the Hawaiian Islands, New York City, Washington D.C., and South Carolina and feature spacious, condominium-style accommodations with superior amenities and quality service. As of June 30, 2020, we have approximately 327,000 Hilton Grand Vacations Club and Hilton Club (collectively the “Club”) members. Club members have the flexibility to exchange their VOIs for stays at any Hilton Grand Vacations resort or any property in the Hilton system of 18 industry-leading brands across approximately 6,100 properties, as well as numerous experiential vacation options, such as cruises and guided tours. Our business has been and continues to be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the global economy, including the various government orders and mandates for closures of non-essential businesses. Please see “Recent Events” and other discussions throughout this Report for additional information regarding such impacts.
We operate our business across two segments: (1) real estate sales and financing; and (2) resort operations and club management.
Real Estate Sales and Financing
Our primary product is the marketing and selling of fee-simple VOIs deeded in perpetuity and right to use real estate interests, developed either by us or by third parties. This ownership interest is an interest in real estate generally equivalent to one week on an annual basis, at the timeshare resort where the VOI was purchased. Traditionally, timeshare operators have funded 100 percent of the investment necessary to acquire land and construct timeshare properties. We source VOIs through fee-for-service and just-in-time agreements with third-party developers and have focused our inventory strategy on developing an optimal inventory mix focused on developed properties as well as fee-for-service and just-in-time agreements. The fee-for-service agreements enable us to generate fees from the sales and marketing of the VOIs and Club memberships and from the management of the timeshare properties without requiring us to fund acquisition and construction costs. The just-in-time agreements enable us to source VOI inventory in a manner that allows us to correlate the timing of acquisition of the inventory with the sale to purchasers. Sales of owned, including just-in-time inventory, generally result in greater Adjusted EBITDA contributions, while fee-for-service sales require less initial investment and allow us to accelerate our sales growth. Both sales of owned inventory and fee-for-service sales generate long-term, predictable fee streams, by adding to the Club membership base and properties under management, that generate strong returns on invested capital.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, sales from fee-for-service, just-in-time and developed inventory sources were 53 percent, 24 percent and 23 percent, respectively, of contract sales. See “Key Business and Financial Metrics and Terms Used by Management——Real Estate Sales Metrics” for additional discussion of contract sales. Based on our trailing twelve months sales pace, we have access to approximately nine years of future inventory, with capital efficient arrangements representing approximately 52 percent of that supply. We believe that the visibility into our long-term supply allows us to efficiently manage inventory to meet predicted sales, reduce capital investments, minimize our exposure to the cyclicality of the real estate market and mitigate the risks of entering into new markets.
26
We sell our vacation ownership products under the Hilton Grand Vacations brand primarily through our distribution network of both in-market and off-site sales centers. Our products are currently marketed for sale throughout the United States and the Asia-Pacific region. We operate sales distribution centers in major markets and popular leisure destinations with year-round demand and a history of being a friendly environment for vacation ownership. We have sales distribution centers in Las Vegas, Orlando, Oahu, Japan, New York, Myrtle Beach, Waikoloa, Washington D.C., Hilton Head, Park City, Chicago, Korea and Carlsbad. Our marketing and sales activities are based on targeted direct marketing and a highly personalized sales approach. We use targeted direct marketing to reach potential members who are identified as having the financial ability to pay for our products and have an affinity with Hilton and are frequent leisure travelers. Tour flow quality impacts key metrics such as close rate and VPG, defined in “Key Business and Financial Metrics and Terms Used by Management——Real Estate Sales Metrics.” Additionally, the quality of tour flow impacts sales revenue and the collectability of our timeshare financing receivables. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, 57 percent of our contract sales were to our existing owners.
We provide financing for members purchasing our developed and acquired inventory and generate interest income. Our timeshare financing receivables are collateralized by the underlying VOIs and are generally structured as 10-year, fully-amortizing loans that bear a fixed interest rate typically ranging from 9 percent to 18 percent per annum. Financing propensity was 63 percent and 66 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We calculate financing propensity as contract sales volume of financed contracts originated in the period divided by contract sales volume of all contracts originated in the period.
The interest rate on our loans is determined by, among other factors, the amount of the down payment, the borrower’s credit profile and the loan term. The weighted-average FICO score for new loans to U.S. and Canadian borrowers at the time of origination were as follows:

Prepayment is permitted without penalty. When a member defaults, we ultimately return their VOI to inventory for resale and that member no longer participates in our Club.
Some of our timeshare financing receivables have been pledged as collateral in our securitization transactions, which have in the past and may in the future provide funding for our business activities. In these securitization transactions, special purpose entities are established to issue various classes of debt securities which are generally collateralized by a single pool of assets, consisting of timeshare financing receivables that we service and related cash deposits. For additional information see Note 6: Timeshare Financing Receivables in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In addition, we earn fees from servicing the loans provided by third-party developers of our fee-for-service projects to purchasers of their VOIs and from our securitized timeshare financing receivables.
Resort Operations and Club Management
We enter into management agreements with the HOAs of the VOI owners for timeshare resorts developed by us or a third party. Each of the HOAs is governed by a board of directors comprised of owner and developer representatives that are charged with ensuring the resorts are well-maintained and financially stable. Our management services include day-to-day operations of the resorts, maintenance of the resorts, preparation of reports, budgets and projections and employee training and oversight. Our HOA management agreements provide for a cost-plus management fee, which means we generally earn a fee equal to 10 percent to 15 percent of the costs to operate the applicable resort. The fees we earn are highly predictable due to the relatively fixed nature of resort operating expenses and our management fees are unaffected by changes in rental rate or occupancy. We are reimbursed for the costs incurred to perform our services, principally related to personnel providing on-site services. The initial term of our management agreements typically ranges from three to five years and the agreements are subject to periodic renewal for one to three-year periods. Many of these agreements renew automatically unless either party provides advance notice of termination before the expiration of the term.
We also manage and operate the points-based Hilton Grand Vacations Club and Hilton Club exchange programs, which provide exclusive exchange, leisure travel and reservation services to our Club members. When owners purchase a VOI, they are generally enrolled in the Club and given an annual allotment of points that allow the member to exchange their annual usage rights in the VOI that they own for a number of vacation and travel options. In addition to an annual membership fee, Club members pay incremental fees depending on exchanges they choose within the Club system.
27
We rent unsold VOI inventory, third-party inventory and inventory made available due to ownership exchanges through our club programs. We earn a fee from rentals of third-party inventory. Additionally, we provide ancillary offerings including food and beverage, retail and spa offerings at these timeshare properties.
Key Business and Financial Metrics and Terms Used by Management
Real Estate Sales Operating Metrics
We measure our performance using the following key operating metrics:
|
• |
Contract sales represents the total amount of VOI products (fee-for-service and developed) under purchase agreements signed during the period where we have received a down payment of at least 10 percent of the contract price. Contract sales differ from revenues from the Sales of VOIs, net that we report in our condensed consolidated statements of operations due to the requirements for revenue recognition, as well as adjustments for incentives. We consider contract sales to be an important operating measure because it reflects the pace of sales in our business and is used to manage the performance of the sales organization. While we do not record the purchase price of sales of VOI products developed by fee-for-service partners as revenue in our condensed consolidated financial statements, rather recording the commission earned as revenue in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe contract sales to be an important operational metric, reflective of the overall volume and pace of sales in our business and believe it provides meaningful comparability of our results to the results of our competitors which may source their VOI products differently. |
We believe that the presentation of contract sales on a combined basis (fee-for-service and developed) is most appropriate for the purpose of the operating metric, additional information regarding the split of contract sales, is included in “—Real Estate” below. See Note 2: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our audited consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 in our Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, for additional information on Sales of VOI, net.
|
• |
Sales revenue represents Sales of VOIs, net, commissions and brand fees earned from the sale of fee-for-service intervals. |
|
• |
Real estate margin represents sales revenue less the cost of VOI sales, sales and marketing costs, net of marketing revenue. Real estate margin percentage is calculated by dividing real estate margin by sales revenue. We consider this to be an important operating measure because it measures the efficiency of our sales and marketing spending and management of inventory costs. |
|
• |
Tour flow represents the number of sales presentations given at our sales centers during the period. |
|
• |
Volume per guest (“VPG”) represents the sales attributable to tours at our sales locations and is calculated by dividing Contract sales, excluding telesales, by tour flow. We consider VPG to be an important operating measure because it measures the effectiveness of our sales process, combining the average transaction price with the closing rate. |
Resort and Club Management and Rental Metrics
|
• |
Transient rate represents the total rental room revenue for transient guests divided by total number of transient room nights sold in a given period and excludes room rentals associated with marketing programs, owner usage and the redemption of Club Bonus Points. |
For further information see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 2: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA, presented herein, is a financial measure that is not recognized under U.S. GAAP that reflects net income (loss), before interest expense (excluding non-recourse debt), a provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as EBITDA, as previously defined, further adjusted to exclude certain items, including, but not limited to, gains, losses and expenses in connection with: (i) asset dispositions; (ii) foreign currency transactions; (iii) debt restructurings/retirements; (iv) non-cash impairment losses; (v) reorganization costs, including severance and relocation costs; (vi) share-based and certain other compensation expenses; (vii) costs related to the spin-off; and (viii) other items.
28
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors about us and our financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are among the measures used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions; and (ii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common performance measure to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in our industry.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash flow or other methods of analyzing our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
|
• |
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
|
• |
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our interest expense (excluding interest expense on non-recourse debt), or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our indebtedness; |
|
• |
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; |
|
• |
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
|
• |
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the effect on earnings or changes resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our future operations; |
|
• |
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for future replacements of assets that are being depreciated and amortized; and |
|
• |
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be calculated differently from other companies in our industry limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. |
Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as discretionary cash available to us to reinvest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.
Recent Events Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic and Impact on Our Results of Operations, Financial Condition, and Business During the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020.
In March 2020, a National Public Health Emergency was declared in response to the coronavirus, known as COVID-19. As a result, many local, county and state government officials have issued, and continue to issue, various mandates and orders to close non-essential businesses, impose travel restrictions, and require “stay-at-home” and/or self-quarantine in certain cases, all in an effort to protect the health and safety of individuals and aimed at slowing and ultimately stopping the spread and transmission of the virus.
Accordingly, commencing in March 2020, we started to temporarily close substantially all of our properties and suspended our U.S sales operations and closed such sales offices. In addition, we took a number of other actions to reduce our expenses and preserve liquidity, including furloughing more than 6,100 of our approximately 9,100 employees, implementing salary reductions for the remaining active employees, implementing hiring freezes, eliminating all discretionary spending, and reducing our planned investment in new inventory by approximately $200 million.
Furthermore, we believe the following actions will provide adequate capital to meet our short-and long-term liquidity requirements for anticipated operating expenses and other expenditures, including payroll and related benefits, legal costs, and additional costs related to complying with various regulatory requirements and best practices for opening under the current environment resulting from the pandemic, and to finance our long-term growth plan and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.
|
• |
In March 2020, we drew down the substantial remainder of our borrowing capacity under our revolver facility through net borrowings of $445 million as a precautionary measure to ensure liquidity for a sustained period in the economic environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect the proceeds would be used for general corporate and working capital purposes in the ordinary course of business. |
29
|
• |
In April 2020, we amended certain key definitions related to delinquency level calculations of underlying timeshare loans that are used as collateral for borrowings under our Timeshare Facility, and generated added flexibility to manage any potential increase in the rate of delinquency as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. |
|
• |
In May 2020, we amended our Credit Agreement which amended certain terms of the credit facilities (“Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) to provide us with both near-term and long-term flexibility with respect to satisfying certain negative and financial covenant ratios as may be needed due to the ongoing and uncertain future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations. |
|
• |
In June 2020, we completed a securitization of $300 million of gross timeshare financing receivables and used the proceeds to pay down the $195 million outstanding balance on our Timeshare Facility and for general corporate operating expenses. As of June 30, 2020, we have $450 million remaining borrowing capacity under our Timeshare Facility. See Note 11: Debt and Non-Recourse Debt for additional information. |
The closure of our resorts and sales centers, and the related suspensions of our operations, expectedly have had a materially adverse impact on our revenues, net income and other operating results during the second quarter, as well as our business and operations generally, as more fully discussed below. As discussed in further detail below, substantially all of the unfavorable changes in our operating results during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to prior periods were as a result of the closure of substantially all of our resorts, operations and sales activities.
Outlook
The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented and challenging time. Our current focus is on taking critical actions that are aimed at positioning the Company in a sound position from an operational, liquidity, credit access, and compliance perspective for a strong recovery when the impact of COVID-19 subsides. As discussed above, we have taken several steps to enhance our liquidity, preserve cash, reduce our expenditures and provide financial flexibility. We will continue to assess the evolving COVID-19 pandemic, including the various government mandates and orders that impact the re-opening of our properties and any new recommended or required business practices, and will take additional actions as appropriate.
Prior to re-opening our resorts and sales centers, we introduced the HGV Enhanced Care Guidelines, designed to provide owners, guests and team members with the highest level of cleaning protocols and safety standards recommended by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and cleaning solutions approved by the Environmental Protection Agency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Along with providing personal protective equipment to team members, these Enhanced Care Guidelines include low-touch arrivals and departures, frequent and thorough cleaning, reduction of paper items, reduced capacity for our pool decks and fitness centers, and new technologies. While operations were suspended, essential resort personnel worked diligently maintaining the resorts for a safe re-opening. Annual deep cleanings, typically scheduled during slower seasons, were moved up and completed, allowing the resorts to be in top shape when owners and guests arrive.
Beginning in May 2020, various states and counties started to allow gradual relaxation of restrictions on activities and a resumption of businesses. In response, we began a phased reopening of resorts and resumption of our business activities during the second quarter of 2020, but under new operating guidelines and with safety measures. As of July 2020, we have nearly three quarters of our resorts and sales centers open and currently operating however, many of our resorts and sales centers are operating with significant capacity constraints and subject to various safety measures.
Although we have started re-opening our sales centers, they have initially been operating at lower levels of utilization than they were prior to the temporary shutdown. This includes lower levels of sales staff, modified operating schedules to stagger tours in compliance with social distancing rules, and running a reduced weekly operating calendar. As we respond to changes in tour flow, we intend to adjust our sales operations accordingly while complying with all applicable social distancing rules and our own safety measures.
While we plan to continue to reopen our resorts and resume our business as conditions and applicable rules and regulations permit, the pandemic continues to be unprecedented and rapidly changing, and has unknown duration and severity. Further, various state and local government officials, including Florida, Hawaii and New York, where we have a significant concentration of our properties and units, may issue new or revised orders that are different than current ones under which we are operating.
30
Accordingly, there remains significant uncertainty as to the degree of impact and duration of the conditions stemming from the ongoing pandemic on our revenues, net income and other operating results, as well as our business and operations generally. Any significantly extended duration or worsening of the conditions associated with the pandemic may adversely impact our liquidity in the longer term, including our ability to finance our day-to-day business and operations, and may adversely affect our ability to comply with our financial covenants under our debt obligations notwithstanding the recent amendments discussed above. Please review carefully the risk factors contained in our 2019 10-K and, in particular, those that are included in our first quarter 2020 10-Q and this Report for discussions of various factors and uncertainties related to the pandemic that may materially impact us.

As of March 31, 2020, we determined that the performance conditions for our 2018, 2019, and 2020 Performance RSUs were improbable of achievement therefore we reversed $8 million of share-based compensation expense recognized in prior years and ceased accruing expenses related to Performance RSUs granted in 2018, 2019, and 2020, during the three months ended March 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, we determined the performance conditions continue to be improbable of achievement and therefore no expense was recognized for our Performance RSUs in the current period. |
(3) |
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, this amount includes costs associated with restructuring, one-time charges and other non-cash items. |

Real Estate Sales and Financing
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), revenue and the related costs to fulfill and acquire the contract (“direct costs”) from sales of VOIs under construction are deferred until the point in time when construction activities are deemed to be completed. The Real estate sales and financing segment is impacted by construction related deferral and recognition activity. In periods where Sales of VOIs and related direct costs of projects under construction are deferred, margin percentages will generally contract as the indirect marketing and selling costs associated with these sales are recognized as incurred in the current period. In periods where previously deferred Sales of VOIs and related direct costs are recognized upon construction completion, margin percentages will generally expand as the indirect marketing and selling costs associated with these sales were recognized in prior periods.

The following table represents deferrals and recognitions of Sales of VOI revenue and direct costs for properties under construction:

Real estate sales and financing segment revenues decreased by $252 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $353 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to decreases in sales revenue and marketing revenue as a result of the temporary closure of substantially all of our properties and suspension of our sales and related operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Real estate sales and financing segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $83 million and $148 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to the decreases in segment revenues associated with segment performance discussed herein partially offset by decreases in related expenses. In addition, real estate sales and financing segment Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by $15 million in one-time payroll related expenses, net of an employee retention credit granted under the CARES Act, primarily related to payments made to employees as a result of operational closures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic for the six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Contract sales decreased $328 million and $406 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in tour flow related to the temporary closure of substantially all of our properties and suspension of sales and related operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning in May 2020, we began a phased reopening of resorts and resumption of our business activities however, many of our resorts and sales centers are operating with significant capacity constraints and are subject to various safety measures. As of June 30, 2020, we have approximately two thirds of our resorts and sales centers open and currently operating.

Sales revenue decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, due to decreases in sales revenue, commission and brand fees and related expenses as a result of the temporary closure of substantially all of our properties and suspension of our sales and related operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Financing revenue remained flat for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and increased $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019 due to higher interest income resulting from an increase in the weighted average interest rate we receive on our timeshare financing receivables balance and an increase in other financing revenue related to higher loan servicing fees.
Financing margin and margin percentage decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019 related to the increase in other financing expenses. Financing margin increased for the six months ended June 30, 2020 while margin percentage remained relatively flat, compared to the same period in 2019 driven by an increase in interest income and other financing revenue partially offset by an increase in other financing expenses.

Resort and club management revenues decreased for the three and six months ended 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to a decrease in club management revenue related to the refunding and waiving of club transaction fees to accommodate our guests impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic partially offset by (i) an increase of approximately 10,000 Club members and (ii) an increase in resort management revenue from the launch of new properties. Resort and club management margin percentage increased for the three and six months ended 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to a reduction in resort and club management expenses driven by the temporary closure and suspension of substantially all of our resort operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rental and ancillary services revenue and expense decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, due to the temporary closure and suspension of substantially all of our resort operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rental and ancillary services margin and margin percentage decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 20120, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to the decreases in revenues and expenses discussed above. Beginning in May 2020, we began a phased reopening of resorts and resumption of our business activities however, many of our resorts are operating with significant capacity constraints and are subject to various safety measures. As of June 30, 2020, we have approximately two thirds of our resorts open and currently operating.

The change in other operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, is driven by a decrease in General and administrative expenses related to (i) decreases in salaries and wages resulting from the furloughs and pay decreases announced during the first quarter of 2020, (ii) the reversal of previously recognized expense related to our 2018 and 2019 Performance RSUs which are not expected to achieve certain performance targets during the first quarter of 2020 and (iii) lower license fee expense related to the corresponding decrease in real estate sales and resort operations revenue.

The change in non-operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, is primarily due to a decrease in income tax expense due to a decrease in income before taxes combined with a decrease in the effective tax rate. See Note 14: Income Taxes for additional information.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our cash management objectives are to maintain the availability of liquidity, minimize operational costs, make debt payments and fund future acquisitions and development projects. Our known short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of funds necessary to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures, including payroll and related benefits, legal costs, operating costs associated with the operation of our resorts and sales centers, interest and scheduled principal payments on our outstanding indebtedness, inventory-related purchase commitments, and capital expenditures for renovations and maintenance at our offices and sales centers. Our long-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of funds necessary to pay for scheduled debt maturities, inventory-related purchase commitments and costs associated with potential acquisitions and development projects.
We finance our short- and long-term liquidity needs primarily through cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from our operations, draws on our senior secured credit facility and our non-recourse revolving timeshare credit facility (“Timeshare Facility”), and through periodic securitizations of our timeshare financing receivables.
|
• |
In March 2020, we drew down the substantial remainder of our borrowing capacity under the revolver facility through net borrowings of $445 million as a precautionary measure to ensure liquidity for a sustained period in the economic environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. We do not have a plan for the use of the proceeds other than for general corporate and working capital purposes in the ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2020, we have $39 million remaining borrowing capacity under the revolver facility (“Revolver”) which includes $29 million of undrawn borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and $10 million available under short-term borrowings. See Note 11: Debt and Non-Recourse Debt for additional information. |
|
• |
In April 2020, we amended certain key definitions related to delinquency level calculations of underlying timeshare loans that are used as collateral for borrowings under our Timeshare Facility, and generated added flexibility to manage any potential increase in the rate of delinquency as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. |
|
• |
In May 2020, we amended our Credit Agreement which amended certain terms of the credit facilities (“Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) to provide us with both near-term and long-term flexibility with respect to satisfying certain negative and financial covenant ratios as may be needed due to the ongoing and uncertain future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations. |
|
• |
In June 2020, we completed a securitization of $300 million of gross timeshare financing receivables and used the proceeds to pay down the $195 million outstanding balance on our Timeshare Facility and for general corporate operating expenses. As of June 30, 2020, we have $450 million remaining borrowing capacity under our Timeshare Facility. See Note 11: Debt and Non-Recourse Debt for additional information. |
|
• |
As of June 30, 2020, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $823 million, including $90 million of restricted cash. The restricted cash balance relates to escrowed cash from sales of our VOIs and reserves related to our non-recourse debt. |
To optimize our liquidity and access to capital in light of the significant adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly as substantially all of our properties were temporarily closed and substantially all of our sales, operations and other activities were suspended during the first and second quarter of 2020, in addition to the steps discussed above, we have undertaken efforts to increase our capital and decrease our expenses. These include the furlough of approximately 67 percent of our employees, temporary salary reductions for the remaining employees, eliminating discretionary spending, and reducing our planned investment in new inventory by approximately $200 million. We have also suspended the share repurchase program that was initially authorized by our Board in March 2020.
We believe that these actions, together with drawing on available borrowings under our Revolver and preserving our capacity under our Timeshare Facility as described above, will provide adequate capital to meet our short- and long-term liquidity requirements for operating expenses and other expenditures, including payroll and related benefits, legal costs, and additional costs related to complying with various regulatory requirements and best practices for opening under the current environment resulting from the pandemic, and to finance our long-term growth plan and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.
37
In addition, as noted previously, beginning in May 2020, in response to various states and counties starting to allow gradual relaxation of restrictions on activities and a resumption of businesses, we began a phased reopening of resorts and resumption of our business activities, including our sales activities. However, we are operating under new guidelines and with safety measures that did not exist prior to the onset of the pandemic. As of July 2020, we have nearly three quarters of our resorts and sales centers open and currently operating however, many of our resorts and sales centers are operating with significant capacity constraints and subject to various safety measures. While we plan to continue to reopen our resorts and resume our business as conditions permit, the pandemic continues to be unprecedented and rapidly changing, and has unknown duration and severity. Accordingly, there remains significant uncertainty as to the degree of impact and duration of the conditions stemming from the ongoing pandemic on our revenues, net income and other operating results, as well as our business and operations generally and, accordingly, our future cash flows and our liquidity in the longer term. Any sustained material adverse impact on our revenues, net income (loss) and other operating results due to COVID-19 could adversely affect our ability to comply with our financial covenants under our debt obligations.

Operating Activities
Cash flow provided by operating activities is primarily generated from (1) sales and financing of VOIs and (2) net cash generated from managing our resorts, Club operations and providing related ancillary services. Cash flows used in operating activities primarily include spending for the purchase and development of real estate for future conversion to inventory and funding our working capital needs. Our cash flows from operations generally vary due to the following factors related to the sale of our VOIs; the degree to which our owners finance their purchase and our owners’ repayment of timeshare financing receivables; the timing of management and sales and marketing services provided; and cash outlays for VOI inventory acquisition and development. Additionally, cash flow from operations will also vary depending upon our sales mix of VOIs; over time, we generally receive more cash from the sale of an owned VOI as compared to that from a fee-for-service sale.
The change in net cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to a reduction in the purchase and development of real estate for future conversion to inventory, partially offset by decreased sources of cash from working capital.

The change in net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, was primarily due to a reduction of property and equipment spending.
Our capital expenditures include spending related to technology, buildings and leasehold improvements used to support sales and marketing locations, resort operations and corporate activities. We believe the renovations of our existing assets are necessary to stay competitive in the markets in which we operate.

The change in net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, was primarily due to (i) the debt borrowings and repayments under our Revolver of $85 million and $45 million, respectively, (ii) the issuance of $300 million of securitized debt offset by additional repayments of $39 million of our other securitized debt, (iii) the additional borrowing of $180 million on our Timeshare Facility offset by a repayment of our outstanding balance of $195 million, and (iv) a reduction in repurchases and retirement of common stock.

(1) |
Includes interest on our debt and non-recourse debt. For our variable-rate debt, we have assumed a constant 30-day LIBOR rate of 0.16 percent, subject to a 0.25 percent floor, as of June 30, 2020. |
(2) |
Primarily relates to commitments related to information technology and brand licensing under the normal course of business. |
We have made commitments with developers to purchase vacation ownership units at a future date to be marketed and sold under our Hilton Grand Vacations brand. As of June 30, 2020, our inventory-related purchase commitments totaled $464 million over 11 years of which we expect to purchase $17 million for the remaining of 2020.
We utilize surety bonds related to the sales of VOIs in order to meet regulatory requirements of certain states. The availability, terms and conditions and pricing of such bonding capacity are dependent on, among other things, continued financial strength and stability of the insurance company affiliates providing the bonding capacity, general availability of such capacity and our corporate credit rating. We have commitments from surety providers in the amount of $576 million as of June 30, 2020 which primarily consist of escrow and construction related bonds.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2020 consisted of $464 million of certain commitments with developers whereby we have committed to purchase vacation ownership units at a future date to be marketed and sold under our Hilton Grand Vacations brand and $26 million of other commitments under the normal course of business. The ultimate amount and timing of the acquisitions is subject to change pursuant to the terms of the respective arrangements, which could also allow for cancellation in certain circumstances. See Note 19: Commitments and Contingencies in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our off-balance sheet arrangements.
Guarantor Financial Information
Certain subsidiaries, which are listed on Exhibit 22 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have guaranteed our obligations related to our senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”). The notes were issued in November 2016 with an aggregate principal balance of $300 million, an interest rate of 6.125 percent, and maturity in December 2024.
Our senior unsecured notes were co-issued by Hilton Grand Vacations Borrower LLC and Hilton Grand Vacations Borrower Inc. (the “Issuers”) and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (the “Parent”), Hilton Grand Vacations Parent LLC (the “Intermediate Parent”), the Issuers, and each of the Issuer’s existing and future wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries (all entities that guarantee the Notes, collectively, the “Obligor group”).
The Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured obligations, are senior in right of payment to any of our Guarantor’s subordinated indebtedness, and are subordinate to all existing and future liabilities of our entities that do not guarantee the Notes and our secured indebtedness, including our senior secured credit facilities and securitized non-recourse debt.
The guarantee of each guarantor subsidiary is limited to a maximum amount, subject to applicable U.S. and non-U.S. laws. The guarantees can also be released upon the sale or transfer of a guarantor subsidiary’s capital stock or substantially all of its assets, becoming designated as an unrestricted subsidiary, or upon its consolidation into a co-Issuer or another subsidiary Guarantor.

The following tables provide summarized financial information of the Obligor group on a combined basis after elimination of (i) intercompany transactions and balances between the Parent Company and the subsidiary Guarantors and (ii) investments in and equity in the earnings of non-Guarantor subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates:

Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated all subsequent events through July 30, 2020, the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. The results of management’s analysis indicated no significant subsequent events have occurred that required consideration as adjustments to our disclosures in the unaudited financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. We have discussed those policies and estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
41
ITEM 3. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. We manage our exposure to these risks by monitoring available financing alternatives and through pricing policies that may take into account currency exchange rates. Our exposure to market risk has not materially changed from what we previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk on our variable-rate debt, comprised of the term loans, Revolver and our Timeshare Facility, of which the Timeshare Facility is without recourse to us. The interest rates are based on one-month LIBOR and we are most vulnerable to changes in this rate. We primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy for our variable-rate debt.
We intend to securitize timeshare financing receivables in the asset-backed financing market periodically. We expect to secure fixed-rate funding to match our fixed-rate timeshare financing receivables. However, if we have variable-rate debt in the future, we will monitor the interest rate risk and evaluate opportunities to mitigate such risk through the use of derivative instruments.
To the extent we continue to have variable-rate borrowings and continue to utilize variable-rate indebtedness in the future, any increase in interest rates beyond amounts covered under any corresponding derivative financial instruments, particularly if sustained, could have an adverse effect on our net income, cash flows and financial position. While we have entered into certain hedging transactions to address such potential risk, such transactions and any future hedging transactions we may enter into may not adequately mitigate the adverse effects of interest rate increases or that counterparties in those transactions will honor their obligations.
The following table sets forth the contractual maturities, weighted-average interest rates and the total fair values as of June 30, 2020, for our financial instruments that are materially affected by interest rate risk:

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Though the majority of our operations are conducted in United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”), we are exposed to earnings and cash flow volatility associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our principal exposure results from our timeshare financing receivables denominated in Japanese yen, the value of which could change materially in reference to our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. A 10 percent increase in the foreign exchange rate of Japanese yen to U.S. dollar would change our gross timeshare financing receivables by less than $1 million. A 10 percent change in the foreign exchange rate of Mexican Peso to U.S. dollar would change our gross VAT receivable by less than $1 million.

ITEM 4. |
Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) or our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of the controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error and mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of controls and procedures to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls and procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the controls and procedures may have deteriorated.
In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We will continue to assess the adequacy of our disclosure controls and procedures and make any appropriate changes given the various government mandates and orders of business closures and the resulting remote working conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We will continue to assess the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting consistent with past practice, particularly in light of the various government mandates and orders of business closures and the resulting remote working conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. |
Legal Proceedings |
We are involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business, some of which includes claims for substantial sums. Management has evaluated these legal matters and we believe an unfavorable outcome is either reasonably possible or remote and/or for which are not reasonably estimable. While the ultimate results of claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we expect that the ultimate resolution of all pending or threatened claims and litigation as of June 30, 2020 will not have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 1A. |
Risk Factors |
The following represents important changes and updates to the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A. of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (our “2019 10-K”) and Item 1A. of Part II of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (our “Prior 10-Q”). The risk factors discussed below and the risk factors included in our 2019 10-K and our Prior 10-Q are important to understanding our business, operation, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects, especially during the current environment, and our statements generally in this Form 10-Q. Therefore, they should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” and Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Form 10-Q.
In addition, the following risks and those risks described in our 2019 Form 10-K and our Prior 10-Q contain forward-looking statements, and they may not be the only risks facing the Company. The future business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company can be affected by the risk factors described in such reports and by other factors currently unknown, that management presently believes not to be material, that management has made certain forward looking projections, estimates or assumptions, or that may rapidly evolve, develop or change, including those that are caused, directly or indirectly, by the COVID-19 pandemic. Any one or more of such factors could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual financial condition and results of operations to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and results of operations. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and the trading price of our common stock. Because of these factors affecting our financial condition and operating results, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
The COVID-19 pandemic and related events, including the various measures implemented or adopted to respond to the pandemic, have had, and will continue to have, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations for the foreseeable future.
The global COVID-19 pandemic and the various measures taken or implemented by governments and other authorities in the United States and around the world, businesses, organizations and individuals have had, and will continue to have, a significant adverse impact on domestic and international travel, consumer demand for travel, commercial activities across the travel, lodging and hospitality industries, businesses generally, and consequently, on our business and operations. The COVID-19 pandemic also has had, and will continue to have, significant adverse impacts on global economic, capital market, financial, healthcare, societal, and government regulatory conditions. In response to the growing pandemic and various governmental orders, we took certain significant actions to ensure the continuity of our business and operations between the end of the first quarter 2020 and during the second quarter 2020, including temporarily closing operations at substantially all of our resorts, closing substantially all of our sales centers, implementing salary reductions, furloughing over 6,100 of our approximately 9,100 employees, implementing hiring freezes, drawing down substantial amounts under our credit facility as a precautionary measure to ensure liquidity and amending both our credit facility and our warehouse facility to provide near-term flexibility on certain financial and operating covenant ratios. All of these actions have had, and will likely continue to have, a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and business.
During May 2020, various cities, counties and states in the US started to allow gradual relaxation of restrictions on activities and a resumption of businesses. We began a phased reopening of our resorts and resumption of our sales activities in accordance with applicable orders, and we plan to continue to reopen our resorts as conditions permit. However, we have implemented a variety of measures that are required, or we believe are advisable for our business with the goal of keeping our customers, owners, team members, and the communities we serve as safe as reasonably feasible from the COVID-19 virus. These measures include additional cleaning and sanitation of our resorts and common areas, providing our team
44
members with personal protective equipment, requiring our guests and owners use face masks based on CDC or other federal, state, or local health guidelines, and implementing physical distancing practices.
Despite these reopening trends, the situations caused by the pandemic continues to be unprecedented and rapidly changing and fluid. Accordingly, there remains significant uncertainties and risks around the duration and severity of the pandemic in the US and around the world, the breadth and duration of business disruptions resulting from COVID-19, the pandemic’s impact on the global economy, consumer confidence, various businesses, and, consequently, our business and operations.
Some of these uncertainties and risks may include the following:
|
• |
resurgences, new outbreaks, increases in the rate of infection, and/or increasing death rates related to the COVID-19 virus, including as recently seen in certain regions and locations where we have a significant number of resorts and concentration of units, including the states of Florida, Hawaii, and New York and the various cities and counties located within such states, which may lead to another series of temporary closures, either out of abundance of caution or as may be required by new regulations; |
|
• |
potentiality of "second waves" of outbreak and spreading of the disease later in 2020 as certain healthcare officials have warned, which may result in further disruptions and additional governmental COVID-19 restrictions, closure orders and/or or “shelter in place” health orders, or similar restrictions; |
|
• |
ongoing issuances of new orders, amendments to existing orders, and conflicting directives by different governmental bodies, including, without limitation, certain key states identified above, which could disrupt, change, or otherwise adversely impact our safety protocols and measures that are intended to protect our guests, owners, and team members; |
|
• |
travel bans, quarantine requirements upon entry, and significant restrictions on travel among the states within the U.S., including the states of Florida, Hawaii and New York, as well as between the U.S. and specific countries, including restrictions placed by foreign governments on citizens of the U.S. flying into their countries; |
|
• |
continued closures and/or curtailment of operations at many popular tourist destinations, reducing the demand for leisure travel; |
|
• |
changing behavior of individuals and unwillingness to travel and stay at hotels, resorts, timeshares, and other lodging facilities due to the pandemic; |
|
• |
various safety measures that— |

may continue to be challenging to implement due to uncertainties in how to correctly implement such measures, lack of availability of needed supplies or other issues, |
|
o |
we have already adopted but may need to change rapidly based on the status of the pandemic, any applicable governmental actions, industry practices, and guidance or recommendations from leading healthcare experts, |
|
o |
may result in significant costs to us, or |
|
o |
may cause guests to not visit our resorts because they do not want to abide by such measures, do not fully understand or agree with such requested measures, and/or are wary of the risk of infection despite such measures, |
|
• |
potential cases of infection and transmission at our resorts despite the implementation of our safety measures efforts, which would be disruptive and may lead to exposure to assertions of liability, |
|
• |
other actions we have taken or may take, or decisions we have made or may make, as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic that may result in investigations, legal claims (with or without merit) or litigation against us, and |
45
|
• |
inability to repay on time or at all the significant increases in our indebtedness and inadequacies of our liquidity and recent amendments to our credit facility and warehouse facility despite our recent efforts if the pandemic worsens and continues for significant duration. |
In addition to the foregoing, the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting adverse conditions are likely to continue to implicate or exacerbate the risk factors that we identified in our 2019 10-K and our prior 10-Q. We encourage you to review such risk factors and related disclosure in such filings, together with the foregoing supplemental risk factors.
Any of the foregoing or other risks, factors, and events that are not foreseeable can result in significant negative impact on our results of operations, financial condition, business and operations, and reputation.

Execution Version
SEPARATION, WAIVER AND RELEASE AGREEMENT
This Separation, Waiver and Release Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into by between Barbara L. Hollkamp (“You” or “Your”) and Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (“HGV” or the “Company”).
WHEREAS, You currently serve as the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer;
WHEREAS, You and the Company are parties to that certain severance agreement, dated as of April l7, 2017 (the “Severance Agreement”), that provides for certain severance payments and benefits in certain termination of employment events;
WHEREAS, You and the Company are parties to several award agreements related to certain stock options, service-based restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units (such equity awards, collectively, the “Equity Awards”) granted under the Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) that have been previously issued to You;
WHEREAS, under the award agreements evidencing the Equity Awards, among other things, You currently meet the minimum age and years of service requirements within the definition of a “Qualifying Retirement” (as defined therein) that would inure certain additional vesting rights in the event of certain separation events; and
WHEREAS, the Company and You have discussed a mutually agreeable separation from the Company, such separation to be effective as of July 31, 2020, and which separation shall be treated as a “Qualifying Termination” as defined in the Severance Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
1. |
You acknowledge and agree that Your employment with the Company will terminate effective July 31, 2020 (the “Separation Date”). All other positions that You hold with the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates shall terminate effective as of the Separation Date. You acknowledge and agree that You have been paid all wages and accrued benefits to which You are entitled through the date of execution of this Agreement or that the Company has promised to pay such wages and accrued benefits within thirty (30) days following the Separation Date. Other than the payments set forth in this Agreement, You agree that the Company owes no additional amounts to You for wages, back pay, severance pay, bonuses, damages, accrued vacation, benefits, insurance, sick leave, other leave, or any other reason. This Agreement is intended to, and does, settle and resolve all claims of any nature that You might have against the Company arising out of Your employment relationship with Company or the termination of such employment or relating to any other matter. |
Execution Version
(i)A total gross amount of One Million Five Hundred Twenty Nine Thousand Eight Hundred and Nineteen DOLLARS ($1,529,819), which represents an amount equal to two (2) times the sum of (X) Your current annual base salary and (Y) Your target annual bonus for 2020, less withholding for taxes and other similar items (collectively, the “Cash Severance”). The Cash Severance shall be paid to You as follows: (1) Nine Hundred Fifty Nine Thousand Eight Hundred and Nineteen DOLLARS ($959,819) shall be payable in a single lump sum on the first payroll date to occur after the sixtieth (60th) day following the Separation Date and Five Hundred Seventy Thousand DOLLARS ($570,000) shall be payable in periodic installments (each installment to be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code) over the 12-month period commencing on the Separation Date in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company, it being understood that such installments will be paid to You over a 12-month period rather than a 24-month period as set forth in the Severance Agreement solely upon Your request and You understand and acknowledge that any taxes owed on such amounts are solely Your responsibility, as more fully set forth in Section 19 of this Agreement;
(ii)A prorated annual bonus for fiscal year 2020, equal to (X) the bonus, if any, that would have been earned by You for fiscal year 2020 if You had remained employed on the normal payment date for such bonus under the Company’s annual incentive plan, based on actual performance under applicable financial metrics, multiplied by (Y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days worked by You during fiscal year 2020 and the denominator of which is 365, which bonus, if any, shall be payable to you in March 2021 at the same time payment is made to other participants in the Company’s annual incentive plan, provided that in no event shall such prorated annual bonus for fiscal year 2020 be less than 56% of Your current annual base salary;
(iii)If You elect to continue participation in any group medical, dental, vision or prescription drug plan benefits to which You or Your eligible dependents would be entitled under Section 4980B (“COBRA”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then for twelve (12) months following the Separation Date (the “COBRA Reimbursement Period”), the Company shall pay to You monthly payments of an amount equal to the excess of (X) the COBRA cost of such coverage over (Y) the amount that You would have had to pay for such coverage if You had remained employed during the COBRA Reimbursement Period and paid the active employee rate for such coverage, less withholding for taxes and other similar items; provided, however, that (A) if You become eligible to receive group health benefits under a program of a subsequent employer or otherwise (including coverage available to Your spouse), the Company’s obligation to pay any portion of the cost of health coverage as described herein shall cease, except as otherwise provided by law; (B) the COBRA Reimbursement Period shall only run for the period during which You are eligible to elect health coverage under COBRA and timely elect such coverage; (C) nothing herein shall prevent
2
Execution Version
the Company from amending, changing, or canceling any group medical, dental, vision and/or prescription drug plans during the COBRA Reimbursement Period; (D) during the COBRA Reimbursement Period, the benefits provided in any one calendar year shall not affect the amount of benefits provided in any other calendar year (other than the effect of any overall coverage benefits under the applicable plans); (E) the reimbursement of an eligible taxable expense shall be made as soon as practicable but not later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred; (F) Your rights pursuant to this Section shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit;
(iv)a cash payment equal to the amount required to continue Your Company-provided life insurance coverage as an individual policy for a period of twelve (12) months following the Separation Date, payable in a single lump sum on the first payroll date to occur after the sixtieth (60th) day following the Separation Date; and
(v)Your Equity Awards that are outstanding as of the Separation Date and that were granted within six (6) months prior to the Separation Date shall be eligible for the benefits of a “Qualifying Retirement” (as defined in the applicable award agreement(s)), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the applicable award agreement(s) and subject to the applicable conditions, requirements, terms and conditions of the applicable award agreement(s).
You acknowledge that the Separation Benefits are subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, compliance with the Surviving Provisions (as defined in Section 15 hereof), exceed any earned wages or anything else of value otherwise owed to You by the Company, and You would not receive the Separation Benefits absent Your execution of this Agreement and compliance with the Surviving Provisions. For the avoidance of doubt, if You fail to comply with the obligations set forth in this Agreement and the Surviving Provisions, the Company shall have no obligation to provide the Separation Benefits, and You shall not be entitled to any of the Separation Benefits and, further, the Company may, in its sole discretion, suspend, terminate and/or recover from You any Separation Benefits.

Execution Version
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Surviving Provisions shall not restrict You from solely serving on a board of directors of a company in the leisure industry during the Restricted Period or from solely providing C-suite coaching services for executives in the leisure industry during the Restricted Period that, in each case, would otherwise be restricted pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(ii)(A) and (B) of the Severance Agreement that forms a part of the Surviving Provisions as long as You are not in violation of any other part of the Surviving Provisions.

7
Execution Version
19. |
This Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in a manner so that any amount or benefit payable hereunder shall be paid or provided in a manner that is either exempt from or compliant with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. Nevertheless, the tax treatment of the benefits provided under this Agreement is not warranted or guaranteed to You, and You are responsible for all taxes assessed on any payments made pursuant to this Agreement, whether under Section 409A of the Code or any other sections of the Code. Neither the Company nor its directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be held liable to You or any other party for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by You as a result of the application of Section 409A or any other provisions of the Code, or for any taxes, interest, penalties or monetary amounts owed by You as a result of any applicable local or state tax rules and regulations. Any installment payments under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a separate payment, as described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(2), for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. |
20. |
