Exhibit 99.1
Wyndham Worldwide Reports Third Quarter Results
Growth Strong Across Businesses
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (November 1, 2006) — Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (NYSE:WYN), one of the world’s premier hospitality companies, today announced results for the three- and nine- months ended September 30, 2006.
THIRD QUARTER 2006 HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
    Revenue increase of 10% compared to the third quarter of 2005, with strong top-line growth across the Company’s three businesses: Lodging, Vacation Exchange and Rental, and Vacation Ownership
 
    Strong performance across the lodging brands helped to push RevPAR up 11% and drove franchise fee revenue growth 14% when compared to the third quarter of 2005
 
    Growth in the number of exchange members, vacation rental transactions and average price per rental, helped to fuel a 10% increase in Vacation Exchange and Rental revenue compared to the third quarter of 2005
 
    Continued growth of the Vacation Ownership business, with gross vacation ownership interest (“VOI”) sales increases of more than 20% compared to the third quarter of 2005 driven by increases in tour flow and volume per guest
“I am pleased to report strong results in our initial quarter as an independent, publicly traded company,” said Stephen P. Holmes, Wyndham Worldwide chairman and chief executive officer. “We achieved double-digit revenue growth across all of our businesses driven by increases in key operating metrics as consumers and business partners recognized the value of our premier portfolio of brands in a strong travel and leisure environment.”
2006 Third Quarter Results
Revenues for the third quarter of 2006 were $1,047 million, up 10% over the same period in 2005, reflecting strong growth across the businesses. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2006 was $120 million or $0.59 diluted earnings per share excluding:
    $68 million ($43 million after-tax) of primarily non-cash separation and related costs associated with Wyndham Worldwide’s spin-off from Cendant Corporation (now Avis Budget Group)
    A $15 million tax benefit related to refinements of the Company’s 2005 state effective tax rates
Including these adjustments, net income for the third quarter of 2006 was $92 million, or $0.45 diluted earnings per share compared to $121 million, or $0.60 per share on a diluted basis (based on a pro forma share count) for the third quarter of 2005.
The third quarter 2006 results include only two months of incremental stand-alone corporate costs as a result of the spin-off occurring on July 31, 2006. The Company estimates that incremental stand-alone, corporate costs would have been approximately $3 million (after-tax) for the month of July. It should be noted that 2005 results did not include incremental stand-alone corporate costs nor interest expense associated with corporate debt, as Wyndham Worldwide was not a separate stand-alone company.
Third Quarter Results of Operating Segments
“During an intense period of activity related to our creation as a separate public company, our businesses delivered strong growth and we continued to position ourselves to capitalize on future growth

 


 

opportunities,” said Holmes. “In Lodging, we have significantly increased our international presence and we have successfully broadened our market position, moving firmly into the attractive upscale and upper upscale segments. We continue to enhance and expand our RCI and vacation rental networks with new markets and products. Finally, we launched an extensive re-branding of our vacation ownership properties to fit under the Wyndham umbrella, which we believe will drive both tour flow and sales efficiencies.”
Lodging
Lodging revenues were $189 million for the third quarter of 2006, a 28% increase compared to $148 million for the third quarter of 2005. The 2006 third quarter results include the acquisitions of Wyndham Hotels and Resorts and Baymont Inn & Suites, which together contributed combined revenues of $34 million.
Lodging Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2006 increased 5% to $68 million (excluding separation and related costs of $1 million) compared to $65 million in the third quarter of 2005. Lodging Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2006 includes incremental marketing expense of approximately $5 million primarily associated with increasing Wyndham brand recognition. In addition, Lodging revenue and expense for the third quarter of 2006 includes approximately $17 million of revenues and related reimbursable expenses from management contracts.
RevPAR for the third quarter of 2006 was $40.82, an 11% increase from the third quarter of 2005 and the highest quarterly level in the Company’s history. This increase was driven by the benefit of management initiatives to enhance the performance of the lodging portfolio that were implemented in prior periods, the overall strength in the hotel industry as well as the inclusion of the Wyndham and Baymont businesses. Excluding the Wyndham and Baymont acquisitions, RevPAR for the third quarter of 2006 was $39.36, an increase of 7% from the third quarter of 2005. Weighted average rooms were flat, sequentially, for the third quarter of 2006 when compared to second quarter of 2006.
The Company’s hotel development pipeline as of September 30, 2006, included approximately 800 hotels and approximately 86,000 rooms, of which approximately 25% are international.
Vacation Exchange and Rental
Vacation Exchange and Rental revenues increased 10% to $310 million in the third quarter of 2006 from $283 million in the third quarter of 2005, reflecting increases in volume, pricing and members.
Vacation Exchange revenues grew 10% compared to the third quarter of 2005, reflecting increases in volume and the average annual dues and exchange revenue per member, as well as 4% growth in the average number of members. RCI continues to be the world’s largest vacation exchange network, approaching 3.4 million members.
Net revenues from rental transactions increased 11% compared to the third quarter of 2005 primarily due to a 6% increase in the average price per rental and a 3% increase in rental transaction volume. Arrivals were strong at the Company’s Landal GreenParks and Canvas Holiday camping vacation sites and bookings increased at its Novasol and Holiday Cottages properties. Revenues also benefited from $7 million of favorable foreign currency translation.
Vacation Exchange and Rental Adjusted EBITDA grew to $98 million (excluding separation and related costs of $1 million) for the third quarter of 2006, a 4% increase compared to the third quarter of 2005, including continued investment in the Company’s international consulting operations and a shift in mix to lower-margin transactions.

 


 

Vacation Ownership
Gross VOI sales were $482 million for the third quarter of 2006, up more than 20% compared to the third quarter of 2005, driven by a 15% growth in tour flow and a 6% increase in volume per guest. Consumer finance revenues increased 26% for the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005, reflecting the continued growth in the Company’s contract receivables portfolio, consistent with the VOI revenue growth. The strong tour flow growth was the result of the ongoing development of in-house sales programs and enhancements to local marketing efforts.
Vacation Ownership third quarter 2006 revenues were $551 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $89 million (excluding separation and related costs of $1 million). These results reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions,” which reduced revenue and Adjusted EBITDA by $72 million and $5 million, respectively. Excluding the effect of SFAS No. 152, revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2006 were both up approximately 20% compared to the third quarter of 2005. The third quarter 2006 Adjusted EBITDA to third quarter 2005 Adjusted EBITDA comparison for Vacation Ownership is helped somewhat by the inclusion in 2005 of $14 million of expenses associated with the Gulf Coast hurricanes, the impact of which continues to affect 2006 Adjusted EBITDA.
Balance Sheet
The Company provided the following balance sheet data as of September 30, 2006:
    Cash and cash equivalents of approximately $160 million compared to $99 million at December 31, 2005
    Vacation ownership contract receivables, net, of $2.3 billion compared to $2.1 billion at December 31, 2005
    Inventory of approximately $880 million compared to $636 million at December 31, 2005
    Securitized vacation ownership debt of $1.3 billion and other debt of $1.2 billion as of September 30, 2006
A debt table is included in the financial tables section of this press release.
Share Repurchase
On August 24, 2006, Wyndham Worldwide announced its intention to commence a stock repurchase program of up to $400 million. Through September 30, 2006, the Company had repurchased 4.6 million shares at an average price of $28.43. During October 2006, the Company repurchased an additional 5.0 million shares.
“We believe a stock repurchase program is an effective means to both enhance shareholder value and demonstrate our confidence in the long-term value of Wyndham Worldwide. We think our shares offer a compelling return on investment opportunity and will continue to purchase as appropriate within the parameters of the program,” said Holmes.
Outlook
Wyndham Worldwide expects 2006 revenues of $3,670 — $3,770 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $750 —$765 million:
    Including the previously reported second quarter accrual for foreign taxes at the Company’s European Vacation rental operations of $21 million
    Including pro forma incremental stand-alone corporate costs for the full year
    Excluding separation and related costs, which are estimated to be approximately $90 — $100 million for the year

 


 

For the fourth quarter 2006, the Company expects:
    Depreciation and amortization of $38 — $40 million
    Net interest expense of approximately $17 — $19 million
    Effective tax rate of approximately 38%
    Net income of approximately $77 — $87 million
    Earnings per share of $0.39 — $0.44 assuming 198 million fully diluted shares
Preliminary guidance for the full-year 2007 is:
    Revenue of $4,110 — $4,260 million
    Adjusted EBITDA, excluding separation and related costs, of $820 — $855 million
Further detail on guidance for 2007 will be provided at the Company’s Investor Day, scheduled for December 12, 2006.
“We are strongly positioned to leverage our extraordinary footprint in Lodging, Vacation Exchange and Rental, and Vacation Ownership to the benefit of customers and shareholders,” said Holmes. “I am excited by our opportunities as we continue to build the Wyndham brand, pursue international opportunities, and develop new offerings to meet the evolving needs of travelers worldwide.”

OPERATING RESULTS OF REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
(In millions)
In addition to other measures, management evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable segments based upon revenue and “EBITDA,” which is defined as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense (excluding interest on securitized vacation ownership debt) and income taxes, each of which is presented on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. The Company’s presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. It is not practical to provide a reconciliation of forecasted Adjusted EBITDA for each of the full years 2006 and 2007 to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income, as applicable, because certain items cannot be reasonably estimated or predicted at this time. Any of those items could be significant to our financial results.
The following tables summarize revenues and EBITDA for reportable segments, as well as reconcile EBITDA to net income for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005:

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Lodging
Weighted Average Rooms Available: Represents the weighted average number of hotel rooms available for rental for the period at lodging properties.

Number of Properties: Represents the number of lodging properties operated under franchise and management agreements at the end of the period.
Vacation Exchange and Rental
Average Number of Members: Represents members in our vacation exchange programs who pay annual membership dues.

Annual Dues and Exchange Revenue Per Member: Represents total revenues from annual membership dues and exchange fees generated for the period divided by the average number of vacation exchange members during the year.
Vacation Rental Transactions: Represents the gross number of transactions that are generated in connection with customers booking their vacation rental stays through us. In our European vacation rental businesses, one rental transaction is recorded each time a standard one-week rental is booked; however, in the United States, one rental transaction is recorded each time a vacation rental stay is booked, regardless of whether it is less than or more than one week.
Average Price Per Vacation Rental: Represents the gross rental price generated from renting vacation properties to customers, before net rental fees paid to cottage owners, divided by the number of rental transactions.
Vacation Ownership
Gross Vacation Ownership Interest Sales: Represents gross sales of vacation ownership interests (including tele-sales upgrades, which is a component of upgrade sales) before deferred sales and loan loss provisions.
Tours: Represents the number of tours taken by guests in our efforts to sell vacation ownership interests.
