REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Wyndham Worldwide Corporation Board of Directors
Parsippany, New Jersey
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated and
combined balance sheet of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation and
subsidiaries (the Company), as of September 30,
2006, the related condensed consolidated and combined statements
of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, the related condensed
consolidated and combined statement of stockholders equity
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, and the
related condensed consolidated and combined statements of cash
flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006
and 2005. These interim financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A
review of interim financial information consists principally of
applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated
and combined interim financial statements for them to be in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
As discussed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated and
combined financial statements, prior to its separation from
Cendant Corporation (Cendant; known as Avis
Budget Group since August 29, 2006), the Company was comprised of the assets and
liabilities used in managing and operating the lodging, vacation
exchange and rental and vacation ownership businesses of
Cendant. Included in Note 14 of the condensed consolidated
and combined financial statements is a summary of transactions
with related parties. Also as discussed in Note 1 to the
condensed consolidated and combined financial statements, as of
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions for
accounting for real estate time-sharing transactions.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
combined balance sheet of Wyndham Worldwide Businesses of Cendant
Corporation as of December 31,
2005, and the related combined statements of income, invested
equity, and cash flows for the year then ended; and in our
report dated May 10, 2006 (June 15, 2006 as to the
effects of the restatement discussed in Note 22), we
expressed an unqualified opinion (which included an explanatory
paragraph relating to Wyndham Worldwide Businesses of Cendant
Corporation being comprised of the assets
and liabilities used in managing and operating the lodging,
vacation exchange and rental and vacation ownership businesses
of Cendant, as discussed in Note 1 to the combined
financial statements and the restatement of the combined balance
sheets, the combined statements of income and invested equity
and the combined statements of cash flows as discussed in
Note 22 to the combined financial statements) on those
combined financial statements.

WYNDHAM
WORLDWIDE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(Unless otherwise noted, all amounts are in millions, except per
share amounts)
(Unaudited)
Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (Wyndham or the
Company), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on
May 30, 2003 as Cendant Hotel Group. In connection with a
plan by Cendant Corporation (Cendant or former
Parent; known as Avis Budget Group since August 29,
2006) to separate into
four independent, publicly traded companiesone each for
Cendants former hospitality services (including timeshare
resorts), real estate services (Realogy), travel
distribution services (Travelport) and vehicle
rental services (Avis Budget Group) businesses
(Separation), on July 13, 2006, Cendant Hotel
Group changed its name to Wyndham Worldwide Corporation. On
April 24, 2006, Cendant modified its previously announced
Separation plan to explore the possible sale of Travelport. On
June 30, 2006, Cendant entered into a definitive agreement
to sell Travelport and on August 23, 2006, Cendant
completed the sale of Travelport for $4,300 million,
subject to final closing adjustments. Pursuant to the plan of
Separation, the Company received approximately $760 million
of the proceeds from such sale, which could be subject to
post-closing adjustments.
On July 13, 2006, Cendants Board of Directors
approved the distribution of all of the shares of common stock
of Wyndham. In connection with the distribution, the Company
filed with the SEC an Information Statement, dated July 13,
2006 (the Information Statement), which describes
for stockholders the details of the distribution and provides
information on the business and management of Wyndham. The
Company mailed the Information Statement to Cendant stockholders
shortly after the July 21, 2006 record date for the
distribution. Prior to July 31, 2006, Cendant transferred
to Wyndham all of the assets and liabilities primarily related
to the hospitality services (including timeshare resorts)
businesses of Cendant, and on July 31, 2006, Cendant
distributed all of the shares of Wyndham common stock to the
holders of Cendant common stock issued and outstanding on
July 21, 2006, the record date for the distribution. The
Separation was effective on July 31, 2006. On
August 1, 2006, the Company commenced regular
way trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol WYN.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial
Statements include the accounts and transactions of Wyndham, the
entities in which Wyndham directly or indirectly has a
controlling financial interest and various entities in which
Wyndham has investments recorded under the equity method of
accounting. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated and Combined
Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. All intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial
Statements.
The Companys consolidated results of operations, financial
position and cash flows may not be indicative of its future
performance and do not necessarily reflect what its consolidated
results of operations, financial position and cash flows would
have been had the Company operated as a separate, stand-alone
entity during the periods presented prior to August 1,
2006, including changes in its operations and capitalization as
a result of the Separation and distribution from Cendant.
Certain corporate and general and administrative expenses,
including those related to executive management, tax,
accounting, payroll, legal and treasury services, certain
employee benefits and real estate usage for common space were
allocated by Cendant to the Company through July 31, 2006
based on forecasted revenues or usage. Management believes such
allocations were reasonable. However, the associated expenses
recorded by the Company in the Condensed Consolidated and
Combined Statements of Income may not be indicative of the
actual expenses that would have been incurred had the Company
been operating as a separate, stand-alone public company for the
periods presented prior to August 1, 2006. Following the
Separation and distribution from Cendant, the Company began
performing these functions using internal resources or purchased
services, certain of which are provided by Cendant or one of the
separated companies during a transitional period pursuant to the
Transition Services Agreement. Refer to
Note 14Related Party Transactions for a detailed
description of the Companys transactions with Cendant and
its subsidiaries.
In presenting the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial
Statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates,
by their nature, are based on judgment and available
information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those
estimates. In managements opinion, the Condensed
Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements contain all
normal recurring adjustments necessary for a
7
fair presentation of interim results reported. The results of
operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or
any subsequent interim period. Certain reclassifications have
been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current
period presentation. These financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the Companys 2005 Combined Financial
Statements in its Information Statement filed on
Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
July 19, 2006.
The Company operates in the following business segments:
|
|
|
|
|
Lodgingfranchises hotels in the upscale, middle and
economy segments of the lodging industry and provides property
management services to owners of upscale branded hotels.
|
|
|
|
Vacation Exchange and Rentalprovides vacation
exchange products and services to owners of intervals of
vacation ownership interests and markets vacation rental
properties primarily on behalf of independent owners.
|
|
|
|
Vacation Ownershipmarkets and sells vacation
ownership interests (VOIs) to individual consumers,
provides consumer financing in connection with the sale of VOIs
and provides property management services at resorts.
|
|
|
|
Changes in Accounting Policies during 2006 |
Vacation Ownership Transactions. In December
2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 152, Accounting for
Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions,
(SFAS No. 152) in connection with the
issuance of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants Statement of Position
No. 04-2,
Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing
Transactions. SFAS No. 152 provides guidance on
revenue recognition for vacation ownership transactions,
accounting and presentation for the uncollectibility of vacation
ownership contract receivables, accounting for costs of sales of
vacation ownership interests and related costs, accounting for
operations during holding periods and other transactions
associated with vacation ownership operations.
The Companys revenue recognition policy for vacation
ownership transactions has historically required a 10% minimum
down payment (initial investment) as a prerequisite to
recognizing revenue on the sale of a vacation ownership
interest. SFAS No. 152 requires that the Company
consider the fair value of certain incentives provided to the
buyer when assessing whether such threshold has been achieved.
If the buyers investment has not met the minimum
investment criteria of SFAS No. 152, the revenue
associated with the sale of the vacation ownership interest and
the related cost of sales and direct costs are deferred until
the buyers commitment satisfies the requirements of
SFAS No. 152. In addition, certain costs previously
included in the Companys
percentage-of-completion
calculation prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 152 are
now expensed as incurred rather than deferred until the
corresponding revenue is recognized.
SFAS No. 152 requires the Company to record the
estimate of uncollectible vacation ownership contract
receivables, without consideration of estimated inventory
recoveries, at the time a vacation ownership transaction is
consummated as a reduction of net revenue. Prior to the adoption
of SFAS No. 152, the Company recorded such provisions
within operating expense on the Condensed Consolidated and
Combined Statements of Income. SFAS No. 152 also
requires a change in accounting for inventory and cost of sales
such that cost of sales is allocated based on a relative sales
value method, under which cost of sales is calculated as an
estimated percentage of net sales.
SFAS No. 152 also requires that revenue in excess of
costs associated with the rental of unsold units be accounted
for as a reduction to the carrying value of vacation ownership
inventory (which reduces the cost of such inventory when it is
sold) and that costs in excess of revenues associated with the
rental of unsold units be charged to expense as incurred. Prior
to the adoption of SFAS No. 152, rental revenues and
expenses were separately recorded in the Condensed Consolidated
and Combined Statements of Income.
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 152
effective January 1, 2006, as required, and recorded an
after tax charge of $65 million during the first quarter of
2006 as a cumulative effect of an accounting change, which
consisted of (i) a pre-tax charge of $105 million
representing the deferral of revenue, costs associated with
sales of vacation ownership interests that were recognized prior
to January 1, 2006 and the recognition of certain expenses
that were previously deferred and (ii) an associated tax
benefit of $40 million. The impact of
SFAS No. 152 on the Companys three months ended
September 30, 2006 results was a reduction to revenues and
net income of $72 million and $4 million ($.02 reduction in diluted
earnings per share), respectively. The impact of SFAS No. 152
on the Companys nine months ended September 30, 2006
results was a reduction to revenues of $145 million and an
increase to net income of $3 million ($.01 increase in diluted earnings per
share), respectively. There was no impact to cash flows from the
adoption of SFAS No. 152.
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. In
May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of
APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3
(SFAS No. 154). SFAS No. 154
requires retrospective application to prior periods
financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting
principle unless it is impracticable. APB Opinion No. 20,
Accounting Changes, previously required that
8
most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by
including in net income of the period of the change the
cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle.
SFAS No. 154 became effective for the Company on
January 1, 2006. There was no impact to the Companys
Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements from
the adoption of SFAS No. 154.
Stock-Based Compensation. On January 1,
2003, Cendant adopted the fair value method of accounting for
stock-based compensation of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
(SFAS No. 123) and the prospective
transition method of SFAS No. 148, Accounting
for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and
Disclosure. Accordingly, Cendant recorded, and the Company
reflected in its consolidated financial statements, stock-based
compensation expense for all employee stock awards that were
granted or modified subsequent to December 31, 2002 (see
Note 11Stock-Based Compensation).
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123
(revised 2004), Share-Based Payment
(SFAS No. 123(R)), which eliminates the
alternative to measure stock-based compensation awards using the
intrinsic value approach permitted by APB Opinion No. 25
and by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation. The Company adopted
SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006, as required
by the Securities and Exchange Commission, under the modified
prospective application method. Because the Company was
allocated stock-based compensation expense for all outstanding
employee stock awards prior to the adoption of
SFAS No. 123(R), the adoption of such standard did not
have a material impact on the Companys results of
operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting for Servicing of Financial
Assets. In March 2006, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of
Financial Assetsan amendment of FASB Statement
No. 140 (SFAS No. 156).
SFAS No. 156 requires an entity to recognize a
servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes
an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a
servicing contract and requires all separately recognized
servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially
measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS No. 156
will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2007.
The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 156
will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
Variability to Be Considered in Applying FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R). In April 2006, the FASB issued
FASB Staff Position (FSP)
FIN 46R-6,
Determining the Variability to Be Considered in Applying
FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)
(FIN 46R-6).
FIN 46R-6
addresses certain implementation issues related to FASB
Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
(FIN 46R). Specifically,
FIN 46R-6
addresses how a reporting enterprise should determine the
variability to be considered in applying FIN 46R. The
variability that is considered in applying FIN 46R affects
the determination of (a) whether an entity is a variable
interest entity (VIE), (b) which interests are
variable interests in the entity, and (c) which
party, if any, is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Such
variability affects any calculation of expected losses and
expected residual returns, if such a calculation is necessary.
The Company is required to apply the guidance in
FIN 46R-6
prospectively to all entities (including newly created entities)
and to all entities previously required to be analyzed under
FIN 46R when a reconsideration event has
occurred, beginning July 1, 2006. The Company will evaluate
the impact of this FSP at the time any such
reconsideration event occurs and for any new
entities created.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. In
June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan
Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109
(FIN 48), which is an interpretation of
SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
FIN 48 provides measurement and recognition guidance
related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes.
FIN 48 also requires increased disclosure with respect to
the uncertainty in income taxes. The Company will adopt the
provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, as required,
and is currently evaluating the impact of such adoption on its
consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements. In September 2006,
the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157).
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 explains the
definition of fair value as the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
SFAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value
should be based on the assumptions market participants would use
when pricing the asset or liability and establishes a fair value
hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those
assumptions. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 157
on January 1, 2007, as required, and is currently assessing
the impact of such adoption on its consolidated financial
statements.
Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and
Other Postretirement Plans. In September 2006,
the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement
Plansan amendment of SFAS No. 87, 88, 106 and
132(R) (SFAS No. 158).
SFAS No. 158 requires the Company to recognize the
overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit
postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of
financial position and recognize changes in the funded status in
the year in which the changes occur. The Company plans to adopt
SFAS No. 158 effective December 31, 2006, as
required, and is currently assessing the impact of such adoption
on its consolidated financial statements.
9
Effects of Prior Year Misstatements. In
September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of
Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in
Current Year Financial Statements
(SAB 108). SAB 108 was issued in order to
eliminate the diversity of practice in how public companies
quantify misstatements of financial statements, including
misstatements that were not material to prior years
financial statements. The Company plans to adopt the provisions
of SAB 108 effective December 31, 2006, as required.
The Company believes that the adoption of SAB 108 will not
have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share
(EPS) is based on the Companys net income
divided by the basic weighted average number of common shares
and diluted weighted average number of common shares,
respectively. On July 31, 2006, the Separation from Cendant
was completed in a tax-free distribution to the Companys
stockholders of one share of Wyndham common stock for every five
shares of Cendant common stock held on July 21, 2006. As a
result, on July 31, 2006, the Company had
200,362,113 shares of common stock outstanding. This share
amount is being utilized for the calculation of basic and
diluted earnings per share for all periods presented prior to
the date of Separation.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and
diluted EPS:

The computations of diluted net income per common share
available to common stockholders for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2006 do not include approximately
18 million stock options and stock-settled stock
appreciation rights (SSARs), as the effect of their
inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to earnings per share.
On April 7, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of
the Baymont Inn & Suites brand, a system of 115
independently-owned franchised properties, for approximately
$60 million in cash. The purchase price was allocated
entirely to trademarks and franchise agreements, which were
assigned to the Companys Lodging segment. In addition, in
April 2006, following the closing of the acquisition, the
Company announced its intent to consolidate the
AmeriHost-branded properties with its newly acquired
Baymont-branded properties to create a more significant midscale
brand.
On July 20, 2006, the Company acquired a vacation ownership
and resort management business for aggregate consideration of
$45 million in cash. The goodwill resulting from the
preliminary allocation of the purchase price for this
acquisition aggregated $43 million, none of which is
expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Such goodwill was
allocated to the Companys Vacation Ownership segment.

As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 152 on
January 1, 2006, the Company recorded an increase in the
allowance for loan losses of $83 million for the VOIs to be
recovered related to future defaulted contract receivables and
an increase to inventory for approximately the same amount. In
accordance with SFAS No. 152, the Company recorded a
provision for loan losses of $63 million and
$180 million as a reduction of revenues during the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. In
addition, the change to the relative sales value method of
inventory costing required by SFAS No. 152 as of
January 2006, had the effect of reducing the Companys cost
of sales by $26 million and $80 million for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, as
compared to the prior inventory costing method applied prior to
the adoption of SFAS No. 152. As a result, the net
impact on the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statements of
Income was a reduction in operating income of $37 million
and $100 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2006, respectively.
Principal payments that are contractually due on the
Companys vacation ownership contract receivables during
the next twelve months are classified as current on the
Companys Condensed Consolidated and Combined Balance
Sheets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005, the Company originated vacation ownership receivables of
$929 million and $830 million, respectively, and
received principal collections of $519 million and
$475 million, respectively. The average interest rate on
outstanding vacation ownership contract receivables was 12.8%
and 13.1% as of September 30, 2006 and December 31,
2005, respectively.

Inventory that the Company expects to sell within the next
twelve months is classified as current on the Companys
Condensed Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets. The balance
at September 30, 2006 includes the estimated value of
inventory to be recovered on future defaulted contract
receivables, in accordance with the Companys adoption of
SFAS No. 152. As a result of the adoption of
SFAS No. 152 on January 1, 2006, the Company
recorded an increase of $83 million of the VOIs to
be recovered related to future defaulted contract receivables
from the allowance for loan losses to inventory.
Capitalized interest on the Companys inventory was
$5 million and $11 million for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, and
$2 million and $5 million for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2005, respectively.

Long-Term
Debt and Borrowings
|
On July 7, 2006, the Company entered into borrowing
arrangements for a total of $2,000 million, comprised of a
$900 million five-year revolving credit facility, a
$300 million five-year term loan facility and an
$800 million interim loan facility due in July 2007. On
August 23, 2006, Cendant completed the sale of Travelport
and the Company received its share of sale proceeds amounting to
$760 million through a capital contribution from Cendant.
The Company utilized such proceeds to reduce the
$800 million interim loan facility and the then-outstanding
balance of the revolving credit facility by $450 million
and $310 million, respectively. The $900 million
revolving credit and the $800 million interim loan
facilities bear interest at LIBOR plus 55 basis points and
the pricing of each is dependent on the Companys credit
ratings. The original interest rate on the $300 million
term loan facility was LIBOR plus 55 basis points.
Effective July 27, 2006, the Company swapped the LIBOR
portion to a fixed rate. The 55 basis point spread remains
dependent upon the Companys credit ratings. The facilities
have certain covenants, including the maintenance of specific
financial ratios.

Includes $350 million
outstanding on the Companys interim loan facility, which
will be refinanced under the Companys revolving credit
facility.

As debt maturities of the securitized vacation ownership debt
are based on the contractual payment terms of the underlying
vacation ownership contract receivables, actual maturities may
differ as a result of prepayments by the vacation ownership
contract receivable obligors.
On July 11, 2006, the Company closed an additional series
of term notes payable secured by vacation ownership loans in the
initial principal amount of $550 million. The payment of
principal and interest on these notes is insured under the terms
of a financial guaranty insurance policy. The proceeds from
these notes were used to reduce the balance outstanding under
the bank conduit facility referenced above and the remaining
proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.
The new borrowing facilities include covenants, including the
maintenance of specific financial ratios. These financial
covenants consist of a minimum interest coverage ratio of at
least 3.0 times as of the measurement date and a maximum
leverage ratio not to exceed 3.5 times on the measurement date.
The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing EBITDA (as
defined in the credit agreement and Note 12Segment
Information) by Interest Expense (as defined in the credit
agreement), excluding interest expense on any Securitized
Indebtedness and on Non-Recourse Indebtedness (as the two terms
are defined in the credit agreement), both as measured on a
trailing 12 month basis preceding the measurement date. The
leverage ratio is calculated by dividing Consolidated Total
Indebtedness (as defined in the credit agreement) excluding any
Securitization Indebtedness and any Non-Recourse Secured debt as
of the measurement date by EBITDA as measured on a trailing
12 month basis preceding the measurement date. Covenants in
the new credit facilities also include limitations on
indebtedness of material subsidiaries; liens; mergers,
consolidations, liquidations, dissolutions and sales of
substantially all assets; and sale and leasebacks. Events of
default in the new credit facilities include nonpayment of
principal when due; nonpayment of interest, fees or other
amounts; violation of covenants; cross payment default and cross
acceleration (in each case, to indebtedness (excluding
securitization indebtedness) in excess of $50 million); and
a change of control (the definition of which permits our
separation from Cendant). As of September 30, 2006, the
Company is in compliance with all of the covenants including the
required financial ratios.

This debt is collateralized by
$1,718 million of underlying vacation ownership contract
receivables and related assets.
|
|
(b)
|
The capacity under the
Companys revolving credit facility includes availability
for letters of credit of $450 million. As of

was further reduced by $30 million for the issuance of
letters of credit.
|
|
(c)
|
These secured borrowings are
collateralized by $140 million of underlying vacation
ownership contract receivables and related assets. The capacity
of this facility is subject to maintaining sufficient assets to
collateralize these secured obligations.
|
|
(d)
|
This bank debt is collateralized by
$125 million of land and related vacation rental assets.

(e)
|
These leases are recorded as
capital lease obligations with corresponding assets classified
within property and equipment on the Condensed Consolidated and
Combined Balance Sheets.

Interest expense incurred in connection with the Companys
securitized vacation ownership debt amounted to $20 million
and $50 million during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2006, respectively, and $12 million and
$32 million during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005, respectively, and is recorded within
operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated and Combined
Statements of Income as the Company earns consumer finance
income on the related securitized vacation ownership contract
receivables.
Interest expense incurred in connection with the Companys
other debt amounted to $22 million and $49 million
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006,
respectively, and $11 million and $31 million during
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005,
respectively, and is recorded within interest expense (income),
net on the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statements of
Income.
The Companys effective tax rate for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2006 differs from the statutory
rate of 35% primarily as a result of a $15 million benefit
resulting from refinements in the Companys 2005 state
effective tax rates.
The Companys effective tax rate for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 differs from the statutory rate of 35%
primarily as a result of a one-time increase in the tax basis of
certain foreign assets. In March 2005, the Company entered into
a foreign tax restructuring where certain of its foreign
subsidiaries were considered liquidated for United States tax
purposes. This liquidation resulted in a taxable transaction
which resulted in an increase in the tax basis of the assets
held by these subsidiaries to their fair market value and the
recognition of a deferred tax benefit during the first quarter
of 2005.

Commitments
and Contingencies
|
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is currently
examining Cendants federal income tax returns for taxable
years 1998 through 2002 during which the Companys business
was included in Cendants tax returns. Over the course of
the audit, the Company and Cendant have responded to various
requests for information, primarily focused on the 1999
statutory merger of Cendants former fleet business; the
calculation of the stock basis in the 1999 sale of a Cendant
subsidiary; and the deductibility of expenses associated with
the shareholder class action litigation (shareholder
litigation) resulting from the merger with CUC. Recently,
Cendant advised the Company that it will accept the IRSs
proposed assessments on all issues affecting the 1998 to 2002
examination period except for the assessments relating to the
shareholder litigation. The Company believes that its reserves
are adequate with respect to all issues, including with respect
to the IRS claims relating to the shareholder litigation.
Cendant has advised the Company that it believes it has a strong
legal basis for its shareholder litigation position and has a
tax opinion from a third party supporting Cendants
position. Cendant and the Company believe Cendant will prevail
on the shareholder litigation position upon further review by
the IRS or litigation, if necessary. If Cendant were not
successful on this position, there may be a material adverse
effect on the Companys net income or cash flows in the
period or periods for which that determination is made. The
effect is the result of the Companys obligations under the
Separation and Distribution Agreement, as discussed in
Note 13Separation Adjustments and Transactions with
Former Parent and Subsidiaries.
The Company believes that its accruals for tax liabilities
outlined in the Separation and Distribution Agreement are
adequate for all remaining open years, based on its assessment
of many factors including past experience and interpretations of
tax law applied to the facts of each matter. Although the
Company believes its recorded assets and liabilities are
reasonable, tax regulations are subject to interpretation and
tax litigation is inherently uncertain; therefore, the
Companys assessments can involve a series of complex
judgments about future events and rely heavily on estimates and
assumptions. While the Company believes that the estimates and
assumptions supporting its assessments are reasonable, the final
determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be
materially different than that which is reflected in historical
income tax provisions and recorded assets and liabilities. Based
on the results of an audit or litigation, a material effect on
our income tax provision, net income, or cash flows in the
period or periods for which that determination is made could
result.
The Company is involved in claims, legal proceedings and
governmental inquiries related to contract disputes, business
practices, intellectual property, and other commercial,
employment and tax matters. Such matters include, but are not
limited to, allegations that (i) the Companys
Fairfield subsidiary violated alleged duties to members of its
internal vacation exchange program through changes made to its
reservations and availability policies, which changes diminished
the value of vacation ownership interests purchased by members;
(ii) the Companys RCI Points exchange program, a
global points-based exchange network that allows members to
redeem points, is an unlicensed travel club and the unregistered
sales of memberships in that program violate the Alberta Fair
Trading Act; and (iii) the Companys vacation
ownership business failed to perform its duties arising under
its management agreements, as well as allegations that the
vacation ownership business is liable for certain construction
defects and inadequate maintenance, which claims are made by
property owners associations from time to time. See
Note 13Separation Adjustments and Transactions with
Former Parent and Subsidiaries regarding contingent legal
liabilities resulting from the Separation.
The Company believes that it has adequately accrued for its
legal matters, exclusive of contingent liabilities assumed from
Cendant as a result of the Separation, with a reserve of
approximately $24 million, or, for matters not requiring
accrual, believes that such matters will not have a material
adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position
or cash flows based on information currently available.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the
Company recorded approximately $21 million of pre-tax
expenses within general and administrative expenses related to
an accrual for local foreign taxes at its European vacation
rental operations and $11 million of interest expense
related to such accrual.

Stock-Based
Compensation
|
Incentive
Equity Awards Conversion
Prior to August 1, 2006, all employee stock awards (stock
options and restricted stock units (RSUs)) were
granted by Cendant. At the time of Separation, a portion of
Cendants outstanding equity awards were converted into
equity awards of the Company at a ratio of one share of
Companys common stock for every five shares of
Cendants common stock. As a result, the Company issued
approximately 2 million RSUs and approximately
24 million stock options upon completion of the conversion
of existing Cendant equity awards into Wyndham equity awards.
In connection with the distribution of the shares of common
stock of Wyndham to Cendant stockholders, on July 31, 2006,
the Compensation Committee of Cendants Board of Directors
approved a change to the date on which all Cendant equity awards
(including Wyndham awards granted as an adjustment to such
Cendant equity awards) will become fully vested. The equity
awards vested on August 15, 2006 rather than
August 30, 2006 (which was the previous date upon which
such equity awards were to vest). As such, there were zero
converted RSUs outstanding on September 30, 2006.
The activity related to the converted stock options from the
date of Separation to September 30, 2006 consisted of the

As a result of the acceleration of the vesting of these awards,
the Company recorded non-cash compensation expense of
$45 million during the third quarter of 2006. In addition,
the Company recorded a non-cash expense of $9 million
related to equitable adjustments to the accelerated awards in
the third quarter of 2006. The $54 million of expense is
recorded within separation and related costs on the Condensed
Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income.
Incentive
Equity Awards Granted by the Company
On May 2, 2006, Cendant approved the grant of incentive
awards of approximately $79 million to the key employees
and senior officers of Wyndham in the form of RSUs and SSARs,
which were converted into equity awards relating to
Wyndhams common stock on the day of the Separation from
Cendant. The awards have a grant date of May 2, 2006 and
vest ratably over a period of four years, with the exception of
a portion of the SSARs which vest ratably over a period of three
years. The number of RSUs and SSARs granted were approximately
2.3 million and 500,000, respectively.
The activity related to the Companys incentive equity
awards from the date of Separation through September 30,
2006 consisted of the following:

Aggregate unrecognized compensation expense related to SSARs and
RSUs amounted to $72 million as of September 30, 2006.
|
The grant date fair value of SSARs was $13.91. Such fair value
was estimated on the date of grant using the Black
Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
(i) expected volatility of 34.4%, (ii) expected life
of 6.25 years and (iii) risk free interest rate of
4.9%.
Stock-Based
Compensation
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006,
Cendant allocated pre-tax stock-based compensation expense of
$1 million and $12 million ($1 million and
$7 million, after tax), respectively, to the Company
compared with $6 million and $15 million
($4 million and $9 million, after tax) for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively.
Such compensation expense relates only to the options and RSUs
that were granted to Cendants employees subsequent to
January 1, 2003. The allocation was based on the estimated
number of options and RSUs Cendant believed it would ultimately
provide and the underlying vesting period of the awards. As
Cendant measured its stock-based compensation expense using
intrinsic value method during the periods prior to
January 1, 2003, Cendant did not recognize compensation
expense upon the issuance of equity awards to its employees.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006,
the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of
$5 million and $8 million ($3 million and
$5 million, after tax), respectively, related to the
incentive equity awards granted by the Company.
The reportable segments presented below represent the
Companys operating segments for which separate financial
information is available and which is utilized on a regular
basis by its chief operating decision maker to assess
performance and to allocate resources. In identifying its
reportable segments, the Company also considers the nature of
services provided by its operating segments. Management
evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable
segments based upon 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
18
presented on the Companys Condensed Consolidated and
Combined Statements of Income. The Companys presentation
of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures
used by other companies.

Separation
Adjustments and Transactions with Former Parent and
Subsidiaries
|
Transfer
of Cendant Corporate Liabilities and Issuance of Guarantees to
Cendant and Affiliates
Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, upon the
distribution of the Companys common stock to Cendant
shareholders, the Company entered into certain guarantee
commitments with Cendant (pursuant to the assumption of certain
liabilities and the obligation to indemnify Cendant, Realogy and
Travelport for such liabilities) and guarantee commitments
related to deferred compensation arrangements with each of
Cendant and Realogy. These guarantee arrangements primarily
relate to certain contingent litigation liabilities, contingent
tax liabilities, and Cendant contingent and other corporate
liabilities, of which we assumed and are responsible for 37.5%
of these Cendant liabilities. At Separation, the amount of
liabilities which were assumed by the Company approximated
$520 million. This amount was comprised of certain Cendant
Corporate liabilities which were recorded on the books of
Cendant as well as additional liabilities which were established
for guarantees issued at the date of Separation related to
certain unresolved contingent matters and certain others that
could arise during the guarantee period. Regarding the
guarantees, if any of the companies responsible for all or a
portion of such liabilities were to default in its payment of
costs or expenses related to any such liability, the Company
would be responsible for a portion of the defaulting party or
parties obligation. The Company also provided a default
guarantee related to certain deferred compensation arrangements
related to certain current and former senior officers and
directors of Cendant, Realogy and Travelport. These
arrangements, which are discussed in more detail below, have
been valued upon the Companys separation from Cendant with
the assistance of third-party experts in accordance with
Financial Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45)
Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements
for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of
Others and recorded as liabilities on the balance sheet.
To the extent such recorded liabilities are not adequate to
cover the ultimate payment amounts, such excess will be
reflected as an expense to the results of operations in future
periods.
The $520 million is comprised of $87 million for
litigation matters, $239 million for tax liabilities,
$153 million for other contingent and corporate liabilities
including liabilities of previously sold businesses of Cendant
and $41 million of liabilities where the calculated
FIN 45 guarantee amount exceeded the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 5 Accounting for
Contingencies liability assumed at the date of Separation
(of which $39 million of the $41 million pertain to
litigation liabilities). $252 million of these liabilities
are recorded in current Due to former Parent and subsidiaries
and $245 million are recorded in long-term Due to former
Parent and subsidiaries at September 30, 2006 on the
Condensed Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheet. The Company
is indemnifying Cendant for these contingent liabilities and
therefore any payments would be made to the third party through
the former Parent. The $41 million relating to the
FIN 45 guarantees is recorded in other current liabilities
at September 30, 2006 on the Condensed Consolidated and
Combined Balance Sheet. In addition, the Company has a
$63 million receivable due from former Parent relating to a
refund of excess funding paid to the Companys former
Parent resulting from the Separation and income tax refunds,
which is recorded in current due from former Parent and
subsidiaries on the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Balance
Sheet. The Company has also recorded a $35 million
receivable in non-current due from former Parent and
subsidiaries on the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Balance
Sheet, which represents the Companys right to receive
proceeds from the ultimate sale of Cendants preferred
stock investment in and warrants of Affinion Group Holdings, Inc.
Following is a discussion of the liabilities on which the
Company issued guarantees:

37.5% of liabilities for certain litigation relating to, arising
out of or resulting from certain lawsuits in which Cendant is
named as the defendant. The indemnification obligation will
continue until the underlying lawsuits are resolved. We will
indemnify Cendant to the extent that Cendant is required to make
payments related to any of the underlying lawsuits. As the
guarantee relates to matters in various stages of litigation,
the maximum exposure cannot be quantified. Due to the inherent
nature of the litigation process, the timing of payments related
to these liabilities cannot be reasonably predicted, but is
expected to occur over several years.

Contingent tax liabilities The Company is liable for
37.5% of certain contingent tax liabilities and will pay to
Cendant the amount of taxes allocated pursuant to the Tax
Sharing Agreement for the payment of certain taxes. This
liability will remain outstanding until tax audits related to
the 2006 tax year are completed or the statutes of limitations
governing the 2006 tax year have passed. The Companys
maximum exposure cannot be quantified as tax regulations are
subject to interpretation and the outcome of tax audits or
litigation is inherently uncertain. Additionally, the timing of
payments related to these liabilities cannot be reasonably
predicted, but is likely to occur over several years.
|
|
|
|
Cendant contingent and other corporate liabilities We
have assumed 37.5% of corporate liabilities of Cendant including
liabilities relating to (i) Cendants terminated or
divested businesses, (ii) liabilities relating to the
Travelport sale, if any, and (iii) generally any actions
with respect to the separation plan or the distributions brought
by any third party, in each case to the extent incurred by the
date of separation of Travelport. The Companys maximum
exposure to loss cannot be quantified as this guarantee relates
primarily to future claims that may be made against Cendant,
that have not yet occurred. The Corporation assessed the
probability and amount of potential liability related to this
guarantee based on the extent and nature of historical
experience.
|
|
|
|
Guarantee related to deferred compensation arrangements
In the event that Cendant, Realogy
and/or
Travelport are not able to meet certain deferred compensation
obligations under specified plans for certain current and former
officers and directors because of bankruptcy or insolvency, we
have guaranteed such obligations (to the extent relating to
amounts deferred in respect of 2005 and earlier). This guarantee
will remain outstanding until such deferred compensation
balances are distributed to the respective officers and
directors. The maximum exposure cannot be quantified as the
guarantee, in part, is related to the value of deferred
investments as of the date of the requested distribution.
Additionally, the timing of payment, if any, related to these
liabilities cannot be reasonably predicted because the
distribution dates are not fixed.

Transactions
with Avis Budget Group, Realogy and Travelport
|
Prior to our Separation from Cendant, we entered into a
Transition Services Agreement (TSA) with Avis Budget
Group, Realogy and Travelport to provide for an orderly transition to
becoming an independent company. Under the TSA, Cendant agrees
to provide us with various services, including services relating
to human resources and employee benefits, payroll, financial
systems management, treasury and cash management, accounts
payable services, telecommunications services and information
technology services. In certain cases, services provided by
Cendant under the TSA may be provided by one of the separated
companies following the date of such companys separation
from Cendant. For the three months ended September 30,
2006, the Company recorded $3 million of expenses and less
than $1 million in other income in the Condensed
Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income related to these
agreements.
|
|
|
Separation
and Related Costs
|
During the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company
incurred costs of $68 million and $76 million,
respectively, in connection with executing the Separation. Such
costs
consisted primarily of the acceleration of vesting of Cendant
equity awards and the related equitable adjustments of such
awards (see Note 11Stock-Based Compensation).

Corporate-Related
Functions
|
Prior to the date of Separation, the Company was allocated
general corporate overhead expenses from Cendant for
corporate-related functions based on a percentage of the
Companys forecasted revenues. General corporate overhead
expense allocations included executive management, tax,
accounting, payroll, financial systems management, legal,
21
treasury and cash management, certain employee benefits and real
estate usage for common space. The Company was allocated
$3 million and $20 million during the periods
July 1, 2006 through July 31, 2006 and January 1,
2006 through July 31, 2006, respectively, and
$9 million and $27 million during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, of general
corporate expenses from Cendant, which are included within
general and administrative expenses on the Condensed
Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income.
Prior to the date of Separation, Cendant also incurred certain
expenses on behalf of the Company. These expenses, which
directly benefited the Company, were allocated to the Company
based upon the Companys actual utilization of the
services. Direct allocations included costs associated with
insurance, information technology, revenue franchise audit
(during 2005 only), telecommunications and real estate usage for
Company-specific space for some but not all of the periods
presented. The Company was allocated $5 million and
$36 million during the periods July 1, 2006 through
July 31, 2006 and January 1, 2006 through
July 31, 2006, respectively, and $13 million and
$39 million during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005, respectively, of expenses directly
benefiting the Company, which are included within general and
administrative and operating expenses on the Condensed
Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income.
The Company believes the assumptions and methodologies
underlying the allocations of general corporate overhead and
direct expenses from Cendant were reasonable. However, such
expenses were not indicative of, nor is it practical or
meaningful for the Company to estimate for all historical
periods presented, the actual level of expenses that would have
been incurred had the Company been operating as a separate,
stand-alone public company.
Prior to the Separation, the Company conducted the following
business activities, among others, with Cendants other
business units or newly separated companies, as applicable:
(i) provision of access to hotel accommodation and vacation
exchange and rental inventory to be distributed through
Travelport; (ii) utilization of employee relocation
services, including relocation policy management, household
goods moving services and departure and destination real estate
related services; (iii) utilization of commercial real
estate brokerage services, such as transaction management,
acquisition and disposition services, broker price opinions,
renewal due diligence and portfolio review;
(iv) utilization of corporate travel management services of
Travelport; and (v) designation of Cendants car
rental brands, Avis and Budget, as the exclusive primary and
secondary suppliers, respectively, of car rental services for
the Companys employees. The majority of the related party
agreement transactions were settled in cash. The majority of
these commercial relationships have continued since the
Separation under agreements formalized in connection with the
Separation.
Prior to the Separation, the Company was included in the
consolidated federal and state income tax returns of Cendant and
will be so included through the Separation date for the 2006
period then ended. Balances due to Cendant for this short period
return and related tax attributes were estimated as of
September 30, 2006 and will be adjusted in connection with
the eventual filing of the short period tax return and the
settlement of the related tax audits of these periods. The net
income tax payable to Cendant, which was $703 million as of
December 31, 2005 and was recorded as a component of net
intercompany funding to former Parent on the Condensed
Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets, and was eliminated at
the Separation date.

|
Net
Interest Earned on Net Intercompany Funding to Former

Prior to the Separation, Cendant swept cash from the
Companys bank accounts while the Company maintained
certain balances due to or from Cendant. Inclusive of unpaid
corporate allocations, the Company had net amounts due from
Cendant, exclusive of income taxes, of zero and
$1,828 million as of September 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2005, respectively. Prior to the Separation,
certain of the advances between the Company and Cendant were
interest-bearing. In connection with the interest-bearing
balances, the Company recorded net interest expense of
$1 million and net interest income of $21 million
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006,
respectively, and net interest income of $5 million and
$17 million during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005, respectively.

Separation
from Cendant
On October 23, 2005, the Board of Directors of Cendant
Corporation (or former Parent) preliminarily
approved a plan to separate Cendant into four independent,
publicly traded companiesone for each of Cendants
Hospitality Services (including Timeshare Resorts) (now known as
Wyndham Worldwide), Real Estate Services (now known as Realogy),
Travel Distribution Services (now known as Travelport) and
Vehicle Rental businesses (now known as Avis Budget). On
April 24, 2006, Cendant announced that as an alternative to
distributing shares of Travelport to Cendant stockholders,
Cendant was exploring the sale of Travelport. On June 30,
2006, Cendant entered into an agreement to sell Travelport to an
affiliate of the Blackstone Group for $4,300 million in
cash. The sale of Travelport closed on August 22, 2006. On
July 13, 2006, the Board of Directors of Cendant approved
the distributions of all of the shares of common stock of
Wyndham and Realogy. In connection with the distribution, we
filed with the SEC an Information Statement, dated July 13,
2006 (the Information Statement), which describes
for stockholders the details of the distribution and provides
information on the business and management of Wyndham. We mailed
the Information Statement to Cendant stockholders shortly after
the July 21, 2006 record date for the distribution. On
July 31, 2006, Cendant distributed all of the shares of our
common stock to the holders of Cendant common stock issued and
outstanding on July 21, 2006, the record date for the
distribution. On August 1, 2006, we commenced regular
way trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol WYN.
Before our separation from Cendant, we entered into separation,
transition services and several other agreements with Cendant,
Realogy and Travelport to effect the separation and
distribution, govern the relationships among the parties after
the separation and allocate among the parties Cendants
assets, liabilities and obligations attributable to periods
prior to the separation. Under the separation agreement, we
assumed 37.5% of certain contingent and other corporate
liabilities of Cendant or its subsidiaries which were not
primarily related to our business or the businesses of Realogy,
Travelport or Avis Budget, and Realogy assumed 62.5% of these
contingent and other corporate liabilities. These include
liabilities relating to Cendants terminated or divested
businesses, the Travelport sale, taxes of Travelport for taxable
periods through the date of the Travelport sale, certain
litigation matters, generally any actions relating to the
separation plan and payments under certain contracts that were
not allocated to any specific party in connection with the
separation.
In connection with our separation, we entered into borrowing
arrangements for a total of $2,000 million, comprised of a
$300 million term loan facility, an $800 million
interim loan facility and a $900 million revolving credit
facility. On July 27, 2006, we drew $1,360 million
against those facilities and issued approximately
$50 million in letters of credit, leaving
23
approximately $590 million available to provide liquidity
for additional letters of credit and for working capital and
ongoing corporate purposes. We transferred to Cendant
approximately $600 million of the proceeds received in
connection with these borrowings in order to enable Cendant to
repay the approximately $600 million of borrowings
outstanding under Cendants asset-linked facility relating
to certain of our assets. We transferred to Cendant the
remaining proceeds of approximately $760 million to permit
Cendant to repay other of its corporate indebtedness.
Following the completion of the sale of Travelport, and as
provided in the separation agreement, on August 22, 2006
and August 23, 2006, Cendant contributed to us
approximately $684 million and $76 million
($760 million in total), respectively, of the proceeds from
the sale of Travelport. We used these proceeds to pay down
$450 million under the interim loan facility and to repay
the $310 million balance then outstanding under our
revolving credit facility.
Prior to the separation and in the ordinary course of business,
we were allocated certain expenses from Cendant for corporate
functions including executive management, finance, human
resources, information technology, legal and facility related
expenses. Cendant allocated corporate expenses to subsidiaries
based on a percentage of the subsidiaries forecasted
revenues. Such expenses amounted to $3 million and
$9 million in the three months ended September 30,
2006 and 2005, respectively, and $20 million and
$27 million during the nine months ended September 30,
2006 and 2005, respectively.
Because we now conduct our business as an independent, publicly
traded company, our historical financial information does not
reflect what our results of operations, financial position or
cash flows would have been had we been an independent, publicly
traded company during the periods presented. Therefore, the
historical financial information for such periods may not
necessarily be indicative of what our results of operations,
financial position or cash flows will be in the future and may
not be comparable to periods ending after July 31, 2006.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Discussed below are our key operating statistics, consolidated
results of operations and the results of operations for each of
our reportable segments. The reportable segments presented below
represent our operating segments for which separate financial
information is available and which is utilized on a regular
basis by our chief operating decision maker to assess
performance and to allocate resources. In identifying our
reportable segments, we also consider the nature of services
provided by our operating segments. Management evaluates the
operating results of each of our reportable segments based upon
revenue and EBITDA. Our presentation of EBITDA may not be
comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

The 2006 amounts include Wyndham

respectively. Therefore, the operating statistics for 2006 are
not presented on a comparable basis to the 2005 operating

During the third quarter of 2006, our net revenues increased
$99 million (10%) principally due to (i) a
$64 million increase in net sales of VOIs at our vacation
ownership businesses due to higher tour flow and an increase in
VPG; (ii) $34 million of incremental revenue generated
by the acquisitions of the Wyndham Hotels and Resorts and
Baymont Inn & Suites brands; (iii) a
$16 million increase in net revenues from rental
transactions primarily due to growth in rental transaction
volume, an increase in the average price per rental and the
favorable impact of foreign currency on revenues from rental
transactions of $6 million; (iv) a $16 million
increase in net consumer financing revenues earned on vacation
ownership contract receivables due primarily to growth in the
portfolio; (v) $12 million of incremental property
management fees primarily as a result of growth in the number of
units under management within our vacation ownership business;
(vi) a $10 million increase in annual dues and
exchange revenues due to an increase in the average annual dues
and exchange revenues generated per member, growth in the
average number of members and the favorable impact of foreign
currency on annual dues and exchange revenues of
$1 million; and (vii) a $7 million increase in
organic revenues in our lodging business, primarily due to
RevPAR growth, partially offset by a decline in weighted average
rooms. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in
revenues of $63 million as a result of the classification
of the provision for loan losses as a reduction of revenues
during the third quarter of 2006 in connection with the adoption
of SFAS No. 152, Accounting for Real Estate
Time-Sharing Transactions
(SFAS No. 152).
Total expenses increased $160 million (21%) principally
reflecting (i) $68 million of costs related to our
separation from Cendant; (ii) a $56 million increase
in organic operating and administrative expenses primarily
related to additional commission expense resulting from
increased VOI sales, increased volume-related expenses and
staffing costs due to growth in our contact centers and vacation
ownership business, increased costs related to the property
management services that we provide at our vacation ownership
business and increased interest expense on our securitized debt,
which is included in operating expenses;
(iii) $31 million of incremental expenses generated by
the acquisitions of the Wyndham Hotels and Resorts and Baymont
Inn & Suites brands, primarily reflecting marketing
investments; (iv) a $23 million increase in organic
marketing and reservation expenses primarily resulting from
increased marketing initiatives across all our businesses;
(v) the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation
on expenses of $7 million; and (vi) $6 million of
higher cost of sales on rentals of vacation stay intervals.
These increases were partially offset by a decrease of
$44 million in provision for loan losses, which includes
$12 million in 2005 to account for the impact of the
hurricanes experienced in the Gulf Coast region of the U.S., and
a decrease of $5 million in cost of vacation ownership
interests. The $5 million
25
decrease in cost of vacation ownership interests was comprised
of includes $26 million of estimated uncollectibles,
partially offset by $21 million of increased cost of sales
primarily associated with increased VOI sales. Such decreases,
apart from the expenses related to Gulf Coast hurricanes, are
the result of the reclassification of the provision for loan
losses from expenses to net revenues and the reduction of cost
of sales of inventory as a result of our adoption of
SFAS No. 152.
Depreciation and amortization increased $4 million
primarily due to the capital investments made during 2005 and
2006. Interest expense, net increased $13 million in the
third quarter of 2006 primarily as a result of interest paid on
our new borrowing arrangements. Our effective tax rate decreased
to 28% in the third quarter of 2006 from 40% in the third
quarter of 2005 primarily due to a $15 million benefit
resulting from refinements to our 2005 state effective tax
rates. Excluding the $15 million benefit, our effective tax
rate would have been approximately 39%. We expect our effective
tax rate to approximate 38% for the remainder of 2006 and the
full year of 2007.
As a result of these items, our net income decreased
$29 million (24%)
quarter-over-quarter.

reportable segments during the third quarter:

Revenues and EBITDA increased $41 million (28%) and
$2 million (3%), respectively, in the third quarter of 2006
compared with the third quarter of 2005 primarily reflecting the
October 2005 acquisition of the franchise and property
management businesses of the Wyndham Hotels and Resorts brand
and strong RevPAR gains across our legacy brands, which were
offset in EBITDA by our strategic decision to increase brand
recognition and drive brand bookings through more extensive
marketing campaigns, primarily for our Wyndham brand.
The franchise business of the Wyndham brand contributed
incremental revenues of $12 million to the third quarter of
2006 while EBITDA remained flat, as we continued to execute a
key strategy to promote the Wyndham brand name and drive brand
bookings through enhanced marketing efforts. Additionally,
within the property management business of the Wyndham brand, we
generated $18 million of revenues, of which
$17 million related to reimbursable payroll costs that we
incur and pay on behalf of property owners. As the
reimbursements are made based upon cost with no added margin,
the recorded revenue is offset by the associated expense and
there is no resultant impact on EBITDA. The operating results of
our lodging business also reflect the acquisition of Baymont
Inn & Suites, which was acquired in April 2006 and
contributed incremental revenues and EBITDA of $4 million
and $3 million, respectively.
Apart from these acquisitions, revenues in our lodging business
increased $7 million (5%) in the third quarter of 2006.
RevPAR grew by 7% and weighted average rooms declined by 3%,
reflecting (i) increases in both price and occupancy
principally attributable to the beneficial impact of management
initiatives implemented in prior periods, such as the strategic
assignment of personnel to field locations designed to assist
franchisees in improving their operating performance and an
overall improvement in the economy lodging segment,
(ii) our termination of underperforming properties
throughout 2005 that did not meet our required quality standards
or their financial obligations to us and (iii) the
expiration of franchise agreements and certain franchisees
exercising their right to terminate their agreements. The
weighted average rooms available remained relatively flat in the
third quarter of 2006 versus the second quarter of 2006.
As previously discussed, a strategic growth initiative of our
lodging business is to increase brand awareness and drive brand
bookings. To this end, during the third quarter of 2006, we
increased our marketing spend by $5 million (8%) (excluding
26
the impact of the acquisitions discussed above) reflecting
(i) additional fees received from our franchisees (where we
are contractually obligated to expend these fees for marketing
purposes), (ii) additional campaigns in international
regions that we have targeted for growth and
(iii) incremental investments in our TripRewards loyalty
program. In addition, expenses also increased $1 million as
a result of our separation from Cendant.
Vacation
Exchange and Rental
Revenues and EBITDA increased $27 million (10%) and
$3 million (3%), respectively, in the third quarter of 2006
compared with the third quarter of 2005, primarily reflecting a
$16 million increase in net revenues from rental
transactions and a $10 million increase in annual dues and
exchange revenues, partially offset by a $24 million
increase in expenses, as discussed below.
Net revenues from rental transactions increased $16 million
(11%) during the third quarter of 2006 primarily due to a 6%
increase in the average price per rental and a 3% increase in
rental transaction volume. The growth in rental transaction
volume was primarily due to a combined increase of approximately
11,100 weeks (9%) in arrivals at our Landal GreenParks and
Canvas Holiday camping vacation sites. In addition, rental
booking volume grew a combined 6% during the third quarter of
2006 for vacations at our Novasol and Holiday Cottages brands.
The increase in net revenues from rental transactions and the
average price per rental include the translation effects of
foreign exchange movements, which favorably impacted rental
revenues by $6 million and accounted for 4% of the total 6%
increase in the average price per rental.
Annual dues and exchange revenues increased $10 million
(10%) during the third quarter of 2006 due to a 5% increase in
the average annual dues and exchange revenues generated per
member and a 4% increase in the average number of members. The
increase in the average annual dues and exchange revenue per
member was driven by an 11% increase in exchange volume and a 5%
increase in the average fee per exchange transaction. We believe
that exchange volume increased during the third quarter of 2006
due to the absence of hurricane activity at timeshare resort
locations, which was significant in 2005 and, therefore,
unfavorably impacted 2005 bookings. In addition, during the
third quarter of 2006, our members at hurricane-zone resorts
booked closer to their actual travel dates, which resulted in
increased exchange volume. The hurricane activity in 2005 also
contributed to a greater mix of rentals compared to exchanges
during the third quarter of 2005 in connection with the
utilization of timeshare intervals in the RCI Weeks and Points
exchange programs. The increase in annual dues and exchange
revenues also include the translation effects of foreign
exchange movements, which favorably impacted annual dues and
exchange revenues by $1 million.
EBITDA further reflects a
quarter-over-quarter
increase in expenses of $24 million (13%) primarily driven
by (i) a $9 million increase in volume-related
expenses, which was substantially comprised of higher
reservation call center staffing costs to support member growth
and increased call volume, (ii) the unfavorable impact of
foreign currency translation on expenses of $7 million,
(iii) $6 million of higher cost of sales on rentals of
vacation stay intervals, (iv) $3 million of
incremental expenses incurred for future revenue generation,
including increased marketing campaigns, timing of certain other
marketing expenses, expansion of property recruitment efforts
and investment in our consulting and international activities
and (v) $1 million of costs related to our separation
from Cendant. These increases were partially offset by
$2 million of cost savings due to efficiencies realized in
2006 resulting from restructuring activities in 2005.
Vacation
Ownership
Revenues and EBITDA increased $31 million (6%) and
$9 million (11%), respectively, in the third quarter of
2006 compared with the third quarter of 2005. The operating
results reflect growth in vacation ownership sales and consumer
finance income, as well as the impact of the adoption of
SFAS No. 152. The impact of SFAS No. 152 on
our third quarter of 2006 results was a reduction to revenues
and EBITDA of $72 million and $5 million, respectively.
Exclusive of the impact of SFAS No. 152, gross sales
of VOIs at our vacation ownership business increased
$77 million (19%) in the third quarter of 2006, driven
principally by a 15% increase in tour flow and a 6% increase in
VPG. Tour flow was positively impacted by the continued
development of our in-house sales programs and VPG benefited
from higher pricing. Revenue and EBITDA comparisons were
negatively impacted by $6 million and $4 million,
respectively, as a result of the deferral of VOI sales under the
percentage-of-completion
method of accounting.
In addition, revenues and EBITDA increased $16 million and
$8 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2006 due
to incremental net interest income earned on contract
receivables primarily due to growth in the portfolio. During the
third quarter of 2006, we also recognized $12 million of
incremental property management fees primarily as a result of
growth in the number of units under management.
EBITDA further reflects an increase of approximately
$78 million (18%) in operating, marketing and
administrative expenses, exclusive of the impact of
SFAS No. 152 and the
percentage-of-completion
method of accounting, primarily resulting from
(i) $24 million of increased cost of sales primarily
associated with increased VOI sales, (ii) $18 million
of additional commission expense associated with increased VOI
sales, (iii) $15 million of incremental marketing
expenses to
27
support sales efforts, (iv) $14 million of incremental
costs primarily incurred to fund additional staffing needs to
support continued growth in the business,
(v) $9 million of increased costs related to the
property management services discussed above,
(vi) $7 million of additional contract receivable
provisions primarily associated with increased VOI sales and
(vii) $1 million of costs related to our separation
from Cendant. Such increases were partially offset by the
absence of $14 million of expenses in the third quarter of
2005 associated with the impact of the hurricanes experienced in
the Gulf Coast region of the U.S. during September 2005,
which continues to affect us in 2006.
Corporate
and Other
Corporate and Other expenses increased $71 million in the
third quarter of 2006 compared with the third quarter of 2005.
Such increase includes $65 million of costs incurred as a
result of the execution of our separation from Cendant on
July 31, 2006 primarily related to the acceleration of
vesting of Cendant equity awards and related equitable
adjustments of such awards (see Note 11 to our Condensed
Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements). In addition,
the third quarter of 2006 Corporate and Other results include
only one month of corporate allocations from our former Parent,
while the third quarter of 2005 results include three months.
Interest
Expense (Income), Net
Interest expense (income), net increased $13 million in the
third quarter of 2006 compared with the third quarter of 2005
primarily as a result of (i) $12 million of interest
paid on the new borrowing arrangements that we entered into in
July 2006, which had an average outstanding balance of
$717 million and an average interest rate of 5.9%,
(ii) a $5 million decrease in net interest income
earned on advances between us and our former Parent due to
advances eliminated upon our separation from Cendant and
(iii) a $2 million decline in interest income earned
on invested cash balances as a result of a decrease in cash
available for investment. Such amounts were partially offset by
(i) a decline of $4 million of interest paid on our
vacation ownership asset-linked debt primarily due to its
elimination by our former Parent in July 2006 and (ii) a
$3 million increase in capitalized interest at our vacation
ownership business increased due to the development of vacation
ownership inventory. All such amounts are recorded within
interest expense (income), net on the Condensed Consolidated and
Combined Statements of Income.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, our net
revenues increased $262 million (10%) principally due to
(i) a $240 million increase in net sales of VOIs at
our vacation ownership businesses primarily due to higher tour
flow and an increase in VPG; (ii) $102 million of
incremental revenue generated by the acquisitions of the Wyndham
Hotels and Resorts and Baymont Inn & Suites brands;
(iii) a $41 million increase in net consumer financing
revenues earned on vacation ownership contract receivables due
primarily to growth in the portfolio; (iv) $25 million
of incremental property management fees primarily as a result of
growth in the number of units under management within our
vacation ownership business; (v) a $18 million
increase in organic revenues in our lodging business, primarily
due to RevPAR growth, partially offset by a decline in weighted
average rooms; (vi) a $17 million increase in net
revenues from rental transactions primarily due to growth in
rental transaction volume and an increase in the average price
per rental; and (vii) an $11 million increase in
annual dues and exchange revenues due to an increase in the
average annual dues and exchange revenues generated per member
and growth in the average number of members. These increases
were partially offset by a decrease in revenues of
$180 million as a result of the classification of the
provision for loan losses as a reduction of revenues during the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 in connection with the
adoption of SFAS No. 152.
28
Total expenses increased $322 million (15%) principally
reflecting (i) a $126 million increase in organic
operating and administrative expenses primarily related to
additional commission expense resulting from increased VOI
sales, increased volume-related expenses and staffing costs due
to growth in our contact centers and vacation ownership
business, increased costs related to the property management
services that we provide at our vacation ownership business and
increased interest expense on our securitized debt, which is
included in operating expenses; (ii) $98 million of
incremental expenses generated by the acquisitions of the
Wyndham Hotels and Resorts and Baymont Inn & Suites
brands, primarily reflecting marketing investments;
(iii) $76 million of costs related to our separation
from Cendant; (iv) a $55 million increase in organic
marketing and reservation expenses primarily resulting from
increased marketing initiatives across all our businesses; and
(v) a $21 million charge recorded in the second
quarter of 2006 related to local taxes payable to certain
foreign jurisdictions within our European vacation rental
business. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of
$96 million in provision for loan losses, which includes
$12 million in 2005 to account for the impact of the
hurricanes experienced in the Gulf Coast region of the U.S., and
a decrease of $12 million in cost of vacation ownership
interests. The $12 million decrease in cost of vacation
ownership interests was comprised of $80 million of
estimated uncollectibles, partially offset by $68 million
of increased cost of sales primarily associated with increased
VOI sales. Such decreases, apart from the expenses related to
Gulf Coast hurricanes, are the result of the reclassification of
the provision for loan losses from expenses to net revenues and
the reduction of cost of sales of inventory as a result of our
adoption of SFAS No. 152.
Depreciation and amortization increased $10 million
primarily due to an increase in information technology capital
investments made in 2005, a trend which has continued in 2006.
Interest expense, net increased $18 million in 2006
primarily as a result of interest paid on our new borrowing
arrangements and interest on local taxes payable to certain
foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by increased capitalized
interest at our vacation ownership business due to increased
development of vacation ownership inventory. Our effective tax
rate increased to 35% in the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 from 28% in the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 primarily due to the absence of a
one-time tax benefit recognized in the first quarter of 2005
related to changes in tax basis differences in assets of foreign
subsidiaries, partially offset by a $15 million benefit
resulting from refinements in our 2005 state effective tax
rates.
As a result of these items, our net income decreased
$146 million (43%) during the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.

Lodging
Revenues and EBITDA increased $120 million (31%) and
$10 million (7%), respectively, in the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 compared with the same period in 2005
primarily reflecting the October 2005 acquisition of the
franchise and property management businesses of the Wyndham
Hotels and Resorts brand and strong RevPAR gains across our
legacy brands, which were partially offset in EBITDA by our
strategic decision to increase brand recognition and drive brand
bookings through more extensive marketing campaigns,
particularly for our Wyndham brand.
The franchise business of the Wyndham brand contributed
incremental revenues of $36 million to the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 while EBITDA remained flat as we
continued to execute a key strategy to promote the Wyndham brand
name and drive brand bookings through enhanced marketing
efforts. Additionally, within the property management business
of the Wyndham brand, we generated $59 million in revenues,
of which $53 million related to reimbursable payroll costs
that we incur and pay on behalf of property owners. As the
reimbursements are made based upon cost with no
29
added margin, the recorded revenue is offset by the associated
expense and there is no resultant impact on EBITDA. The
operating results of our lodging business also reflect the
acquisition of Baymont Inn & Suites, which was acquired
in April 2006 and contributed incremental revenues and EBITDA of
$7 million and $4 million, respectively.
Apart from these acquisitions, revenues in our lodging business
increased $18 million (5%) in nine months ended
September 30, 2006. Such increase was primarily due to
RevPAR growth of 9%, partially offset by a 3% decline in
weighted average rooms available, as well as the absence of a
$7 million gain recognized in the first quarter of 2005 on
the sale of an investment no longer deemed to be strategic. The
RevPAR growth and rooms decline both reflect (i) increases
in price and occupancy principally attributable to the
beneficial impact of management initiatives implemented in prior
periods, such as the strategic assignment of personnel to field
locations designed to assist franchisees in improving their
operating performance and an overall improvement in the economy
lodging segment, (ii) our termination of underperforming
properties throughout 2005 that did not meet our required
quality standards or their financial obligations to us and
(iii) the expiration of franchise agreements and certain
franchisees exercising their right to terminate their agreements.
As previously discussed, a strategic growth initiative of our
lodging business is to increase brand awareness and drive brand
bookings. To this end, during the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, we increased our marketing spend by
$14 million (8%) (excluding the impact of the acquisitions
discussed above) reflecting (i) additional fees received
from our franchisees (where we are contractually obligated to
expend these fees for marketing purposes), (ii) additional
campaigns in international regions that we have targeted for
growth and (iii) incremental investments in our TripRewards
loyalty program. In addition, expenses also increased
$1 million as a result of our separation from Cendant.
Vacation
Exchange and Rental
Revenues increased $20 million (2%) and EBITDA decreased
$32 million (13%) in the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 compared with the same period in 2005,
primarily reflecting a $17 million increase in net revenues
from rental transactions and an $11 million increase in
annual dues and exchange revenues, partially offset in EBITDA by
a $52 million increase in expenses, as discussed below, and
an $8 million decline in ancillary revenues.
Net revenues generated from rental transactions and related
services increased $17 million (5%) during the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 driven by a 3% increase in rental
transaction volume, partially offset by a 1% decrease in the
average price per rental. Despite the reduction in the average
price per rental, we realized an overall 2% increase in average
revenue per rental due to a greater mix of properties rented
that generated higher commission rates and incremental service
fees per rental. The growth in rental transaction volume was
primarily driven by an increase of approximately
24,900 weeks (11%) in arrivals at our Landal GreenParks
vacation sites. The increase in net revenues from rental
transactions and the average price per rental includes the
translation effects of foreign exchange movements, which
unfavorably impacted rental revenues by $1 million and
accounted for the 1% reduction in the average price per rental.
Annual dues and exchange revenues increased $11 million
(3%) during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as
compared with the same period in 2005 due to a 4% increase in
the average number of members, partially offset by a 1%
reduction in the average annual dues and exchange revenues
generated per member. Points-based transactions represented 19%
of the total exchange transactions during the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 as compared with 17% during the nine
months ended September 30, 2005. Although exchange
transactions per member remained relatively constant
period-over-period,
there has been a shift to a greater amount of points-based
members and related points-based transactions from the standard
one-week for one-week exchange members and transactions in our
legacy RCI Weeks exchange program, which resulted in an increase
in our overall member base and exchange transaction volume.
Since points are exchangeable for various travel-related
products and services, as well as for vacation stays for various
lengths of time, points-based exchange activity will generally
result in higher transaction volumes with lower average fees as
compared with the RCI Weeks exchange program.
Ancillary revenues declined $8 million during the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period
in 2005 primarily due to a reduction in travel fee revenues as a
result of lower rates in 2006 relating to an outsourcing
agreement to provide services to third-party travel club members.
EBITDA further reflects an increase in expenses of
$52 million (9%) primarily driven by (i) a
$21 million charge in the second quarter of 2006 related to
local taxes payable to certain foreign jurisdictions,
(ii) a $14 million increase in volume-related
expenses, which was substantially comprised of higher
reservation call center staffing costs to support member growth
and increased call volumes, (iii) $8 million of
incremental expenses incurred for future revenue generation,
including increased marketing campaigns, timing of certain other
marketing expenses, expansion of property recruitment efforts
and investment in our consulting and international activities,
(iv) $4 million of costs primarily related to higher
corporate overhead allocations, (v) $4 million of
higher cost of sales on rentals of vacation stay intervals and
(vi) $3 million of costs related to our separation
from Cendant. These increases were partially offset by
(i) a $5 million reduction in
30
employee incentive program expenses during 2006 and
(ii) $5 million of cost savings due to efficiencies
realized in 2006 resulting from restructuring activities in 2005.
Vacation
Ownership
Revenues and EBITDA increased $122 million (9%) and
$42 million (22%), respectively, in the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 as compared with the same period in
2005. The operating results reflect growth in vacation ownership
sales and consumer finance income, as well as the impact of the
adoption of SFAS No. 152. The impact of
SFAS No. 152 on our results for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 was a reduction to revenues of
$145 million and an increase to EBITDA of $5 million.
Operational changes made to certain purchase incentives during
2006 resulted in the recognition of certain revenues that were
deferred upon the adoption of SFAS No. 152. As a
result, included within the impact of SFAS No. 152 are
increases to revenue and EBITDA of $66 million and
$33 million, respectively, during the nine months ended
September 30, 2006. Excluding such increases, the impact of
SFAS No. 152 would have been a reduction to revenues
and EBITDA of $211 million and $28 million,
respectively, during the nine months ended September 30,
2006.
Exclusive of the impact of SFAS No. 152, gross sales
of VOIs at our vacation ownership business increased
$210 million (20%) in the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 principally driven by an 11% increase in
tour flow and a 9% increase in VPG. Tour flow was positively
impacted by the continued development of our in-house sales
programs and VPG benefited from higher pricing. Revenue and
EBITDA comparisons were favorably impacted by $2 million as
a result of the recognition of VOI sales previously deferred
under the
percentage-of-completion
method of accounting.
In addition, revenues and EBITDA increased $41 million and
$24 million, respectively, in the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 due to incremental net interest income
earned on contract receivables primarily due to growth in the
portfolio. Revenue and EBITDA comparisons were also negatively
impacted by the absence of $11 million of income recorded
in the second quarter of 2005 in connection with the disposal of
a parcel of land that was no longer consistent with our
development plans. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, we also recognized $25 million of
incremental property management fees primarily as a result of
growth in the number of units under management.
EBITDA further reflects an increase of approximately
$213 million (18%) in operating, marketing and
administrative expenses, exclusive of the impact of
SFAS No. 152 and the
percentage-of-completion
method of accounting, primarily resulting from
(i) $61 million of increased cost of sales primarily
associated with increased VOI sales, (ii) $50 million
of additional commission expense associated with increased VOI
sales, (iii) $33 million of incremental marketing
expenses to support sales efforts, (iv) $30 million of
incremental costs primarily incurred to fund additional staffing
needs to support continued growth in the business,
(v) $21 million of increased costs related to the
property management services discussed above,
(vi) $13 million of additional contract receivable
provisions primarily associated with increased VOI sales,
(vii) $4 million of increased costs associated with
the repair of one of our completed VOI resorts and
(viii) $3 million of costs related to our separation
from Cendant. Such increases were partially offset the absence
of $14 million of expenses in the third quarter of 2005
associated with the impact of the hurricanes experienced in the
Gulf Coast during September 2005, which continues to affect us
in 2006.
Corporate
and Other
Corporate and Other expenses increased $70 million in the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared with the same
period in 2005. Such increase includes $69 million of costs
incurred as a result of the execution of our separation from
Cendant on July 31, 2006 primarily related to the
acceleration of vesting of Cendant equity awards and related
equitable adjustments of such awards. In addition, the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 Corporate and Other results
include only seven months of corporate allocations from our
former Parent, while the nine months ended September 30,
2005 results include nine months.
Interest
Expense, Net
Interest expense, net increased $18 million during the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 2005 primarily as a result of
(i) $12 million of interest paid on the new borrowing
arrangements that we entered into in July 2006,
(ii) $11 million of interest on local taxes payable to
certain foreign jurisdictions and (iii) $5 million of
increased interest expense on existing borrowings primarily due
to increased interest rates. Such amounts were partially offset
by (i) a $6 million increase in capitalized interest
at our vacation ownership business increased due to the
development of vacation ownership inventory and (ii) a
$4 million increase in net interest income earned on
advances between us and our former Parent due to increased
activity during the first six months of 2006 as compared to
the first six months of 2005. All such amounts are recorded
within interest expense (income), net on the Condensed
Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income.

Total assets decreased $49 million from December 31,
2005 to September 30, 2006 primarily due to a
$1,125 million decrease in the net intercompany funding to
former Parent, which reflects the elimination of amounts due from
Cendant upon our separation from them. Such decrease was
substantially offset by (i) a $242 million increase in
inventory primarily related to vacation ownership inventories
associated with increased property development activity, as well
as the $83 million reclassification of the estimated value
of inventory to be recovered on future defaulted contract
receivables losses in accordance with our adoption of
SFAS No. 152, a new accounting pronouncement related
to vacation ownership interest transactions, (ii) a
$178 million increase in vacation ownership contract
receivables, net due to increased VOI sales, (iii) a
$139 million increase in other current assets primarily due
to the adoption of SFAS No. 152, which resulted in the
deferral of greater amounts of costs and revenues at
September 30, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005 and
increased restricted cash within our vacation ownership business
relating to proceeds held for a new VOI resort still in
development, (iv) a $116 million increase in property
and equipment principally within our vacation ownership business
associated with building and reclassifications as a result of
our adoption of SFAS No. 152 and within our vacation
exchange and rental businesses increased development at Landal
GreenParks, (v) a $63 million increase in due from
former Parent and subsidiaries relating to a refund of excess
funding paid to our former Parent resulting from the Separation
and income tax refunds, (vi) a $61 million increase in
cash and cash equivalents at our vacation exchange and rental
business resulting from higher receipts from the European
holiday season and within Corporate and Other as a result of the
establishment of a cash accounting system separate from Cendant,
(vii) a $50 million increase in trademarks primarily
related to the acquisition of Baymont Inn & Suites in
April 2006 and (viii) a $42 million increase in
goodwill primarily related to the acquisition of a vacation
ownership marketing and development business and foreign
exchange translation adjustments within our vacation and
exchange and rental business, partially offset by the settlement
of the ultimate tax basis of acquired assets with the tax
authority within our vacation ownership business.
Total liabilities increased $1,372 million primarily due to
(i) a
$497 million increase in due to former Parent and
subsidiaries as a result of the assumption of certain contingent
and other corporate liabilities of our former Parent or its
subsidiaries upon our separation,
(ii) $460 million of additional net borrowings
primarily due to approximately $800 million borrowed on new
debt arrangements entered into in July 2006 to support the
development of vacation ownership properties and
$203 million principally reflecting greater securitization
of vacation ownership contract receivables, partially offset by
the elimination by our former Parent of $600 million of
borrowings outstanding under our former Parents
asset-linked facility relating to certain of our assets (which
balance was $550 million at December 31, 2005 and was
previously reflected as long-term debt on our condensed
consolidated and combined balance sheet), (iii) a $263 million
increase in deferred income primarily due to increased activity
within our vacation ownership business, the adoption of
SFAS No. 152, as discussed above, and increased
deferred revenue within our vacation exchange and rental
business and (iv) a $235 million increase in accrued
expenses and other current liabilities primarily due to
increased marketing expenses to promote growth in our businesses
and local taxes payable to certain foreign jurisdictions and the
related interest payable on such accrual within our vacation
exchange and rental business.
Total stockholders equity decreased $1,421 million
principally due to (i) the elimination of net intercompany
funding to former Parent of $1,125 million, (ii) the
transfer of proceeds from our new borrowing arrangements to our
former Parent of $1,360 million, (iii) the assumption
of $497 million of contingent liabilities as a result of
our separation and (iv) $132 million of treasury stock
purchased through our stock repurchase program. Such decreases
were partially offset by (i) $760 million of proceeds
contributed to us by our former Parent upon the sale of
Travelport, (ii) the elimination by our former Parent of
$600 million of borrowings outstanding under our former
Parents asset-linked facility relating to certain of our
assets and (iii) $194 million of net income generated
during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Currently, our financing needs are supported by cash generated
from operations and our available borrowing facilities. In
addition, certain funding requirements of our vacation ownership
business are met through the issuance of securitized and other
secured debt to finance vacation ownership contract receivables
and the development of vacation ownership properties. In
connection with our separation from Cendant, on July 27,
2006, we drew down $1,360 million under our new borrowing
facilities and issued approximately $50 million in letters
of credit. Our liquidity has been further augmented
32
through available capacity under these new facilities and we
believe that access to these facilities and our current and
long-term liquidity vehicles will be sufficient to meet our
ongoing needs.
CASH
FLOWS
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
we had a net change in cash and cash equivalents of
$61 million and $26 million, respectively. The

During the nine months ended September 30 2006, we
generated $50 million more cash from operating activities
as compared to the same period in 2005. Such change principally
reflects a net increase relating to deferred income taxes,
stronger operating results, and higher accounts payable and
accrued liabilities, partially offset by higher investments in
inventory and vacation ownership contract receivables.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we used
$130 million more cash for investing activities as compared
with the same period in 2005. The increase in cash outflows
primarily relates to (i) the completion of the previously
announced acquisition of the Baymont brand and system of 115
franchised properties for approximately $60 million in
cash, (ii) the acquisition of a vacation ownership and
resort management business for $45 million in cash,
(iii) an increase of $40 million in capital
expenditures and (iv) an increase of $27 million in
restricted cash.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we
generated $101 million more cash from financing activities
as compared with the same period in 2005, which principally
reflects incremental cash inflows from
(i) $1,132 million of additional borrowings within our
vacation ownership business during 2006,
(ii) $800 million of proceeds from our new borrowing
arrangements and (iii) the receipt of a capital
contribution from our former Parent for approximately
$760 million resulting from the sale of Travelport (see
Financial Obligations for a detailed discussion).
Such increases were partially offset by (i) an increase in
our dividend to former Parent of approximately
$1,301 million and (ii) $1,174 million of
increased principal payments on existing borrowings.
We intend to continue to invest in capital improvements,
technological improvements in our lodging business and the
development of our vacation ownership, vacation rental and
mixed-use properties. In addition, we may seek to acquire
additional franchise agreements, property management contracts
and ownership interests in hotel or vacation rental properties
on a strategic and selective basis, either directly or through
investments in joint ventures. We anticipate spending
approximately $215-245 million on capital expenditures in
2006. Capital expenditures in 2006 are expected to include
(i) approximately $90-110 million to improve
technology and maintain technological advantages,
(ii) approximately $75-95 million on routine
improvements, and (iii) approximately $35-45 million
for information technology systems resulting from our separation
from Cendant. We also anticipate spending approximately
$500-600 million relating to vacation ownership development
projects in 2006. The majority of the expenditures required to
complete our capital spending programs and vacation ownership
development projects will be financed through cash flow
generated through operations. Additional expenditures will be
financed through general unsecured corporate borrowings. Our
unused borrowing capacity of $750 million under our
$900 million revolving credit facility is available to
finance our capital spending programs. On August 24, 2006,
we announced our intention to commence a stock repurchase
program of up to $400 million. Through September 30,
2006, we had repurchased 4.6 million shares at an average
price of $28.43. During the period October 1, 2006 through
November 13, 2006, we repurchased an additional
5.4 million shares at an average price of $29.19. We
currently have $110 million remaining availability in our
program and we intend to continue to repurchase shares subject
to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other
factors.

(a)
|
|
This debt is collateralized by
$1,718 million of underlying vacation ownership contract
receivables and related assets.
|
(b)
|
|
The capacity under our revolving
credit facility includes availability for letters of credit of
$450 million. As of September 30, 2006, the total
capacity of $750 million was further reduced by
$30 million for the issuance of letters of credit.
|
(c)
|
|
These secured borrowings are
collateralized by $140 million of underlying vacation
ownership contract receivables and related assets. The capacity
of this facility is subject to maintaining sufficient assets to
collateralize these secured obligations.
|
(d)
|
|
This bank debt is collateralized by
$125 million of land and related vacation rental assets.
|
|
|
|
(e)
|
|
These leases are recorded as
capital lease obligations with corresponding assets classified
within property and equipment on the Condensed Consolidated and
Combined Balance Sheets.
|
On July 11, 2006, we closed an additional series of term
notes payable secured by vacation ownership loans in the initial
principal amount of $550 million. The payment of principal
and interest on these notes is insured under the terms of a
financial guaranty insurance policy. The proceeds from these
notes were used to reduce the balance outstanding under the bank
conduit facility referenced above and the remaining proceeds
were used for general corporate purposes.
The interim loan facility ranks pari passu with our unsecured
debt, except with respect to maturity, as the interim facility
has a one-year term and the revolving credit facility and term
loan facility have five-year terms. Subject to market
34
conditions, we intend to replace the interim loan facility in
its entirety with a combination of senior unsecured medium-term,
non-convertible, fixed
and/or
floating rate bonds.
The new borrowing facilities include covenants, including the
maintenance of specific financial ratios. These financial
covenants consist of a minimum interest coverage ratio of at
least 3.0 times as of the measurement date and a maximum
leverage ratio not to exceed 3.5 times on the measurement date.
The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing EBITDA (as
defined in the credit agreement and Note 12 to the
Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements) by
Interest Expense (as defined in the credit agreement), excluding
interest expense on any Securitized Indebtedness and on
Non-Recourse Indebtedness (as the two terms are defined in the
credit agreement), both as measured on a trailing 12 month
basis preceding the measurement date. The leverage ratio is
calculated by dividing Consolidated Total Indebtedness (as
defined in the credit agreement) excluding any Securitization
Indebtedness and any Non-Recourse Secured debt as of the
measurement date by EBITDA as measured on a trailing
12 month basis preceding the measurement date. Covenants in
the new credit facilities also include limitations on
indebtedness of material subsidiaries; liens; mergers,
consolidations, liquidations, dissolutions and sales of
substantially all assets; and sale and leasebacks. Events of
default in the new credit facilities include nonpayment of
principal when due; nonpayment of interest, fees or other
amounts; violation of covenants; cross payment default and cross
acceleration (in each case, to indebtedness (excluding
securitization indebtedness) in excess of $50 million); and
a change of control (the definition of which permitted our
separation from Cendant).
Our new borrowing facilities contain covenants, including
restrictions on indebtedness of material subsidiaries, mergers
and certain sales of assets, limitations on liens, liquidations,
and sale and leaseback transactions, and the maintenance of
certain financial ratios. As of September 30, 2006, we are
in compliance with all of the covenants including the required
financial ratios.
LIQUIDITY
RISK
Our liquidity position may be negatively affected by unfavorable
conditions in the markets in which we operate. Our liquidity as
it relates to our vacation ownership financings could be
adversely affected if we were to fail to renew any of the
facilities on their renewal dates or if we were to fail to meet
certain ratios, which may occur in certain instances if the
credit quality of the underlying vacation ownership contract
receivables deteriorates. Our ability to sell vacation ownership
contract receivables depends on the continued ability of the
capital markets to provide financing to the entities that buy
the vacation ownership contract receivables.
After giving effect to the Separation, our senior unsecured debt
has been rated BBB and Baa2 by Standard & Poors
and Moodys, respectively. A security rating is not a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and is subject to
revision or withdrawal by the assigning rating organization.
Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other
rating.
SEASONALITY
We experience seasonal fluctuations in our gross revenues and
net earnings from our franchise and management fees, commission
income earned from renting vacation properties, annual
subscription fees or annual membership dues, as applicable, and
exchange transaction fees and sales of VOIs. Revenues from
franchise and management fees are generally higher in the second
and third quarters than in the first or fourth quarters, because
of increased leisure travel during the summer months. Revenues
from rental income earned from booking vacation rentals are
generally highest in the third quarter, when vacation rentals
are highest. Revenues from vacation exchange transaction fees
are generally highest in the first quarter, which is generally
when members of our vacation exchange business plan and book
their vacations for the year. Revenues from sales of VOIs are
generally higher in the second and third quarters than in other
quarters. The seasonality of our business may cause fluctuations
in our quarterly operating results. As we expand into new
markets and geographical locations, we may experience increased
or different seasonality dynamics that create fluctuations in
operating results different from the fluctuations we have
experienced in the past.

CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In presenting our financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
therein. Several of the estimates and assumptions we are
required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain
as they pertain to future events. However, events that are
outside of our control cannot be predicted and, as such, they
cannot be contemplated in evaluating such estimates and
assumptions. If there is a significant unfavorable change to
current conditions, it could result in a material adverse impact
to our consolidated results of operations, financial position
and liquidity. We believe that the estimates and assumptions we
used when preparing our financial statements were the most
appropriate at that time. These Condensed Consolidated and
Combined Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited Combined Financial Statements included in the
Form 10 filed on July 12, 2006, which includes a
description of our critical accounting policies that involve
subjective and complex judgments that could potentially affect
reported results. Since such date there have been no material
changes to our critical accounting policies as to the
methodologies or assumptions we apply under them.
|
|
Item 3.
|
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks.
|
We assess our market risk based on changes in interest and
foreign currency exchange rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis
that measures the potential impact in earnings, fair values, and
cash flows based on a hypothetical 10% change (increase and
decrease) in interest and foreign currency rates. We used
September 30, 2006 market rates to perform a sensitivity
analysis separately for each of our market risk exposures. The
estimates assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate
yield curves and exchange rates. We have determined, through
such analyses, that the impact of a 10% change in interest and
foreign currency exchange rates and prices on our earnings, fair
values and cash flows would not be material.
|
|
Item 4.
|
Controls
and Procedures.
|
|
|
(a) |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our
management, with the participation of our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such
term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(e)
and
15d-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered
by this quarterly report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded
that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective.
|
|
|
(b) |
Internal Controls Over Financial
Reporting. There have been no changes in our
internal control over financial reporting (as such term is
defined in
rules 13a-15(f)
and
15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this
report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

Legal
Proceedings.

Wyndham
Worldwide Litigation
Wendell and Sandra Grimes, et al. v. Fairfield
Resorts, Inc., FairShare Vacation Owners Association,
et al. This class action complaint was filed on
July 19, 2005 in the U.S. District Court for the
Middle District of Florida. It alleges, under a variety of legal
theories, that the defendants violated their duties to the
members of FairShare Plus through self-serving changes to the
reservation and availability policies (including an affiliation
with RCI), which diminished the value of the vacation ownership
interests purchased by the members and rendered it more
difficult for members to obtain reservations at their home
resort. The complaint does not seek monetary damages in a
specified amount, nor does it specify the form of injunctive or
declaratory relief sought. Plaintiffs filed their motion for
class certification on October 18, 2005, and defendants
submitted their opposition on January 18, 2006. On
April 26, 2006, the court heard oral argument but did not
rule on the plaintiffs motion for class certification. On
April 27, 2006, the court denied the plaintiffs
motion for class certification. On May 11, 2006, plaintiffs
filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh
Circuit a petition for an interlocutory review of the District
Courts April 27 order denying class certification. On
May 15, 2006, the District Court ordered plaintiffs to file
not later than May 31, 2006, an amended complaint which
omits class action allegations. On or about May 31, 2006,
plaintiffs filed an amended complaint omitting the class action
allegations. On June 7, 2006, defendants moved to dismiss
the amended complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
On June 21, 2006, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Eleventh Circuit denied the plaintiffs petition for an
interlocutory review of the District Courts April 27
order. On July 14th, 2006, the U.S. District Court
granted defendants motion to dismiss the amended complaint
for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On August 8th,
2006, plaintiffs filed a notice of final appeal before the
Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Plaintiffs filed their
appellate brief on September 25, 2006. Defendants filed
opposition to plaintiffs appeal on October 23, 2006.
Plaintiffs filed their reply to defendants opposition on
November 6, 2006.
In Re: Resort Condominiums International, LLC and RCI
Canada, Inc. On August 4, 2004 companion
complaints were filed against Resort Condominium International,
LLC and RCI Canada, Inc. in three Alberta jurisdictions alleging
that the RCI Points program is an unlicensed travel club and the
unregistered sales of memberships in the program is a regulatory
violation of the Alberta Fair Trading Act. The complaints seek
statutory penalties. RCIs defense is premised upon the
fact that the RCI Points program simply provides a system to use
accommodations currently owned by the vacation ownership
consumer and is not a travel club, as defined in the statute, as
it does not involve the future purchase of accommodations The
matters have been consolidated for trial commencing
April 16, 2007 in Calgary. Settlement talks between the
Government and the co-defendant developer have reached an
impasse. RCI is exploring whether the Government will
voluntarily dismiss RCI from these matters. The Government has
indicated it intends to dismiss RCI from the matters at an
upcoming status hearing in January 2007.
Source v. Cendant Corporation. Source, Inc.,
which we refer to as Source, filed suit against Cendant on
July 28, 2005 in the U.S. District Court for the
Eastern District of Texas. Source alleges infringement of four
patents related to Sources centralized consumer cash
value accumulation system for multiple merchants. Source
alleges that Wyndham Hotel Groups TripRewards program
infringes upon Sources guest loyalty system. Source seeks
monetary damages and injunctive relief. While the parties have
discussed a nuisance value settlement, Cendant has filed an
answer and motion to stay the litigation pending reexamination
of two of the patents by the Patent and Trademark Office. The
motion for stay was granted, and the matter was stayed until
April 2006. We applied for an extension of that stay, which
Source opposed. The Court has lifted the stay. The parties have
filed a joint motion to dismiss the matter without prejudice and
have committed to exploring possible business solutions to the
dispute. The dismissal order was signed by the Court on
August 10, 2006.
In addition, we are involved in claims and legal actions arising
in the ordinary course of our business including: for our
lodging businessbreach of contract, fraud and bad faith
claims between franchisors and franchisees in connection with
franchise agreements and with owners in connection with
management contracts and negligence claims asserted in
connection with acts or occurrences at franchised or managed
properties; for our vacation exchange and rental
businessbreach of contract claims by both affiliates and
members in connection with their respective agreements and
negligence claims by guests for alleged injuries sustained at
resorts; for our vacation ownership businessbreach of
contract, conflict of interest, fraud and consumer protection
act claims by property owners associations, owners and
prospective owners in connection with the sale of vacation
ownership interests or the management of vacation ownership
resorts, construction defect claims relating to vacation
ownership units or resorts and negligence claims by guests for
alleged injuries sustained at vacation ownership units or
resorts; and for each of our businesses, bankruptcy proceedings
involving efforts to collect receivables from a debtor in
bankruptcy and employment matters involving claims of
discrimination and wage and hour claims.
Cendant
Litigation
Under the separation agreement, we agreed to be responsible for
37.5% of certain of Cendants contingent and other
corporate liabilities and associated costs related to the
Cendant litigation described below.
37
After the April 15, 1998 announcement of the discovery of
accounting irregularities in the former CUC business units, and
prior to the issuance of the Information Statement,
approximately 70 lawsuits claiming to be class actions and other
proceedings were commenced against Cendant and other defendants,
of which a number of lawsuits have been settled. Approximately
five lawsuits remain unresolved in addition to the matters
described below.
In Re Cendant Corporation Litigation, which we refer to
as the Securities Action, is a consolidated class action in the
U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey brought
on behalf of all persons who acquired securities of Cendant and
CUC, except the PRIDES securities, between May 31, 1995 and
August 28, 1998. Named as defendants are Cendant; 28
current and former officers and directors of Cendant, CUC and
HFS Incorporated; and Ernst & Young LLP, or
Ernst & Young, CUCs former independent accounting
firm.
The Amended and Consolidated Class Action Complaint in the
Securities Action alleges that, among other things, the lead
plaintiffs and members of the class were damaged when they
acquired securities of Cendant and CUC because, as a result of
accounting irregularities, Cendants and CUCs
previously issued financial statements were materially false and
misleading, and the allegedly false and misleading financial
statements caused the prices of Cendants and CUCs
securities to be inflated artificially.
On December 7, 1999, Cendant announced that it had reached
an agreement to settle claims made by class members in the
Securities Action for approximately $2,850 million in cash
plus 50% of any net recovery Cendant receives from
Ernst & Young as a result of Cendants
cross-claims against Ernst & Young as described below.
This settlement received all necessary court approvals and was
fully funded by Cendant on May 24, 2002.
On January 25, 1999, Cendant asserted cross-claims against
Ernst & Young that alleged that Ernst & Young
failed to follow professional standards to discover, and
recklessly disregarded, the accounting irregularities and is
therefore liable to Cendant for damages in unspecified amounts.
The cross-claims assert claims for breaches of Ernst &
Youngs audit agreements with Cendant, negligence, breaches
of fiduciary duty, fraud and contribution. On July 18,
2000, Cendant filed amended cross-claims against
Ernst & Young asserting the same claims. On
March 26, 1999, Ernst & Young filed cross-claims
against Cendant and certain of Cendants present and former
officers and directors that alleged that any failure by
Ernst & Young to discover the accounting irregularities
was caused by misrepresentations and omissions made to
Ernst & Young in the course of its audits and other
reviews of Cendants financial statements. Ernst &
Youngs cross-claims assert claims for breach of contract,
fraud, fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation and
contribution. Damages in unspecified amounts are sought for the
costs to Ernst & Young associated with defending the
various shareholder lawsuits, lost business it claims is
attributable to Ernst & Youngs association with
Cendant and for harm to Ernst & Youngs
reputation. On June 4, 2001, Ernst & Young filed
amended cross-claims against Cendant asserting the same claims.
Semerenko v. Cendant Corp., et al. and P.
Schoenfield Asset Management LLC v. Cendant Corp.,
et al. in the U.S. District Court for the District
of New Jersey were initially commenced in October and November
of 1998, respectively, on behalf of a putative class of persons
who purchased securities of American Bankers Insurance Group,
Inc., between January 27, 1998 and October 13, 1998.
On April 4, 2006, Cendant entered into an agreement to
settle this matter for $22 million. On or about
October 5, 2006, we contributed to Avis Budget
approximately $8 million constituting 37.5% of the
settlement.
Cendant Tax Audit. The IRS is currently
examining Cendants federal income tax returns for taxable
years 1998 through 2002 during which our business was included
in Cendants tax returns. Over the course of the audit, we
and Cendant have responded to various requests for information,
primarily focused on the 1999 statutory merger of Cendants
former fleet business; the calculation of the stock basis in the
1999 sale of a Cendant subsidiary; and the deductibility of
expenses associated with the shareholder class action litigation
resulting from the merger with CUC. Recently, Cendant advised us
that it will accept the IRSs proposed assessments on all
issues affecting the 1998 to 2002 examination period except for
the assessments relating to the shareholder litigation. We
believe our reserves are adequate with respect to all issues,
including with respect to the IRS claims relating to the
shareholder litigation. Cendant has advised us that it believes
it has a strong legal basis for its shareholder litigation
position and has a tax opinion from a third party supporting
Cendants position. We and Cendant believe Cendant will
prevail on the shareholder litigation position upon further
review by the IRS or litigation, if necessary. If Cendant were
not successful on this position, there may be a material adverse
effect on our net income or cash flows in the period or periods
for which that determination is made.
We are subject to a number of risks relating to the separation,
our business and the trading price of our common stock. For a
description of these risk factors, please refer to Item 1A,
Risk Factors, in our Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q
filed with the SEC on August 18, 2006, and under Risk
Factors in our Information Statement filed with the SEC on
July 19, 2006 as Exhibit 99.1 to a Current Report on
Form 8-K.

Stockholder
Proposals for 2007 Annual Meeting
We expect to hold our 2007 annual meeting of stockholders in the
spring of 2007. Stockholders interested in submitting a proposal
for consideration at our 2007 annual meeting must do so by
sending such proposal to our Corporate Secretary at Wyndham
Worldwide Corporation, Seven Sylvan Way, Parsippany, New Jersey
07054. Under the Securities and Exchange Commissions proxy
rules, the deadline for submission of proposals that are to be
included in the proxy materials for the 2007 annual meeting is a
reasonable time before we begin to print and mail our proxy
statement, and we have determined that this deadline is
December 15, 2006. Accordingly, in order for a stockholder
proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy materials
for the 2007 annual meeting, any such stockholder proposal must
be received by our Corporate Secretary on or before
December 15, 2006 and comply with the procedures set forth
in
Rule 14a-8
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as the
advance notice provisions of our amended and restated By-Laws.
Any stockholder proposal received after December 15, 2006
will not be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials.
Under our By-Laws, in order for a stockholder proposal submitted
outside of
Rule 14a-8,
and therefore not included in our proxy materials, to be
considered timely, such proposal must be received by our
Corporate Secretary not later than the 10th business day
following the date on which notice of the date of the 2007
annual meeting is mailed to stockholders or we otherwise make
public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting, whichever
occurs first.
The exhibit index appears on the page immediately following the
signature page of this Report.
