REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Wyndham Worldwide Corporation Board of Directors and
Shareholders
Parsippany, New Jersey
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheet of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation and subsidiaries (the
Company) as of June 30, 2007, the related
condensed consolidated and combined statements of income for the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and
2006, the related condensed consolidated and combined statements
of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007
and 2006, and the related condensed consolidated statement of
stockholders equity for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2007. 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 Notes 12 and 13 of the
condensed consolidated and combined financial statements is a
summary of transactions with related parties. As discussed in
Note 12 to the condensed consolidated and combined
financial statements, in connection with its separation from
Cendant, the Company entered into certain guarantee commitments
with Cendant and has recorded the fair value of these
guarantees. 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. Also as
discussed in Notes 1 and 7 of the condensed consolidated
and combined financial statements, the Company adopted the
provisions for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, as of
January 1, 2007.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Wyndham
Worldwide Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31,
2006, and the related consolidated and combined statements of
income, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the year
then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated
March 7, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion (which
included an explanatory paragraph relating to the fact that,
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 rentals and vacation ownership businesses
of Cendant; included in Notes 20 and 21 of the consolidated
and combined financial statements is a summary of transactions
with related parties; discussed in Note 20 to the
consolidated and combined financial statements, in connection
with its separation from Cendant, the Company entered into
certain guarantee commitments with Cendant and has recorded the
fair value of these guarantees as of July 31, 2006; and the
Company adopted the provisions for accounting for real estate
time-sharing transactions) on those consolidated and combined
financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth
in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2006 is fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from
which it has been derived.

Prior to July 31, 2006, Cendant Corporation
(Cendant or former Parent; known as Avis
Budget Group since August 29, 2006) transferred to
Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (Wyndham or the
Company), a Delaware corporation, all of the assets and
liabilities primarily related to the hospitality services
(including timeshare resorts) businesses of Cendant. 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 of Wyndham from Cendant
(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, as
well as the entities in which Wyndham directly or indirectly has
a controlling financial interest. 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 condensed consolidated and combined 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 have been provided by Cendant or one
of the separated companies during a transitional period pursuant
to the Transition Services Agreement. Refer to
Note 13Related Party Transactions for a detailed
description of the Companys transactions with Cendant and
its former 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 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 2006 Consolidated and
Combined Financial Statements included in its Annual Report
filed on
Form 10-K
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7,
2007.
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 luxury and upscale hotels.
|
|
|
|
Vacation Exchange and Rentalsprovides vacation
exchange products and services to owners of intervals of
vacation ownership interests (VOIs) and markets
vacation rental properties primarily on behalf of independent
owners.
|
|
|
|
Vacation Ownershipmarkets and sells VOIs to
individual consumers, provides consumer financing in connection
with the sale of VOIs and provides property management services
at resorts.

Significant
Accounting Policy
|
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
VOIs 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 VOI. 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 VOI 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 revenues. 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 VOIs 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. There was no impact to cash flows from the
adoption of SFAS No. 152.
|
|
|
Changes
in Accounting Policies during 2007
|
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. The Company adopted
SFAS No. 156 on January 1, 2007, as required.
There was no impact to the Companys consolidated financial
statements from the adoption of SFAS No. 156.
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 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a
tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position
must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by
taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the
largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent
likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company
adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, as
required. See Note 7Income Taxes for a detailed
explanation of the impact of the adoption.
|
|
|
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
|
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
8
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, 2008, as
required, and is currently assessing the impact of such adoption
on its consolidated financial statements.
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities. In February 2007, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 115
(SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159
permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments
at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at
fair value. It also establishes presentation and disclosure
requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities
that choose different measurement attributes for similar types
of assets and liabilities. The Company will adopt
SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008, as required, and
is currently assessing if it will choose to measure any
financial assets and liabilities at fair value.
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:

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.
The revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan 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
12
coverage ratio is calculated by dividing EBITDA (as defined in
the credit agreement and Note 11 to the Condensed
Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements) by Interest
Expense (as defined in the credit agreement), excluding interest
expense on any Securitization 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 these credit facilities also
include limitations on indebtedness of material subsidiaries;
liens; mergers, consolidations, liquidations, dissolutions and
sales of all or substantially all assets; and sale and
leasebacks. Events of default in these 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 the
Companys separation from Cendant).
The 6.00% senior unsecured notes contain various covenants
including limitations on liens, limitations on sale and
leasebacks, and change of control restrictions. In addition,
there are limitations on mergers, consolidations and sales of
all or substantially all assets. Events of default in the notes
include nonpayment of interest, nonpayment of principal, breach
of a covenant or warranty, cross acceleration of debt in excess
of $50 million, and bankruptcy related matters.
As of June 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all
of the covenants described above including the required
financial ratios.
As of June 30, 2007, available capacity under the

(a)
|
These outstanding borrowings are
collateralized by $2,288 million of underlying vacation
ownership contract receivables and related assets. The capacity
of the Companys bank conduit facility is subject to the
Companys ability to provide additional assets to
collateralize such facility.
|
|
(b)
|
The capacity under the
Companys revolving credit facility includes availability
for letters of credit. As of June 30, 2007, the available
capacity of $685 million was further reduced by
$42 million for the issuance of letters of credit.
|
|
(c)
|
These borrowings are collateralized
by $151 million of underlying vacation ownership contract
receivables. The capacity of this facility is subject to
maintaining sufficient assets to collateralize these secured
obligations.
|
|
(d)
|
These leases are recorded as
capital lease obligations with corresponding assets classified
within property and equipment on the Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet.

Interest expense incurred in connection with the Companys
securitized vacation ownership debt amounted to $25 million
and $48 million during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007, respectively, and $15 million and
$29 million during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2006, respectively, and is recorded within
operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated and Combined
Statements of Income. Cash paid related to such interest expense
was $43 million and $26 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Interest expense incurred in connection with the Companys
other debt amounted to $24 million and $47 million
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007,
respectively, and $16 million and $28 million during
the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.
In addition, the Company recorded $11 million of interest
expense related to interest on local taxes payable to certain
foreign jurisdictions during the three and six months ended
June 30,
13
2006. All such amounts are recorded within the interest expense
line item on the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statements
of Income. Cash paid related to such interest expense was
$45 million and $23 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Interest expense is partially offset on the Condensed
Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income by capitalized
interest of $6 million and $12 million during the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and
$4 million and $6 million during the three and six
months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.
The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns
in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and
foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no
longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or
non-U.S. income
tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2003.
During the first quarter of 2007, the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) opened an examination for Cendants
taxable years 2003 through 2006 during which the Company was
included in Cendants tax returns.
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on
January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of
FIN 48, the Company recognized an increase of
$20 million in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits,
which was accounted for as a reduction of retained earnings on
the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 1,
2007. The total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was
$20 million as of January 1, 2007. The amount of the
unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2007 that, if
recognized, would affect the Companys effective tax rate
is $20 million.
As of June 30, 2007, the Companys liability for
unrecognized tax benefits increased by a gross amount of
$2 million. The increase relates to the current period
effect of historical tax positions taken. The statute of
limitations is scheduled to expire within 12 months of the
reporting date in certain taxing jurisdictions and the Company
believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amounts
of its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $0 to
$4 million.
The Company recorded both accrued interest and penalties related
to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of provision for
income taxes on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
Prior to January 1, 2007, accrued interest and penalties
were recorded as a component of operating expenses and interest
expense on the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statements of
Income. During the three and six months ended June 30,
2007, the Company recognized less than $1 million and
$1 million, respectively, in interest and penalties.
Included within the unrecognized tax benefits recorded on
January 1, 2007 was accrued interest and penalties of
$2 million and $2 million, respectively.
The Company made cash income tax payments, net of refunds, of
$44 million and $12 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Such payments
exclude income tax related payments made to former Parent.

Commitments
and Contingencies
|
The Company is involved in claims, legal proceedings and
governmental inquiries related to contract disputes, business
practices, intellectual property and other matters relating to
the Companys business, including, without limitation,
commercial, employment, tax and environmental matters. Such
matters include, but are not limited to: (i) for the
Companys vacation ownership business, alleged failure to
perform duties arising under management agreements, and claims
for construction defects and inadequate maintenance (which are
made by property owners associations from time to time);
and (ii) for the Companys vacation exchange and
rentals business, breach of contract claims by both affiliates
and members in connection with their respective agreements and
bad faith and consumer protection claims asserted by members.
See Note 12Separation Adjustments and Transactions
with Former Parent and Subsidiaries regarding contingent
litigation liabilities resulting from the Separation.
The Company believes that it has adequately accrued for such
matters with reserves of approximately $29 million at
June 30, 2007, 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. However,
litigation is inherently unpredictable and, although the Company
believes that its accruals are adequate
and/or that
it has valid defenses in these matters, unfavorable resolutions
could occur. As such, an adverse outcome from such unresolved
proceedings for which claims are awarded in excess of the
amounts accrued, if any, could be material to the Company with
respect to earnings or cash flows in any given reporting period.
However, the Company does not believe that the impact of such
unresolved litigation should result in a material liability to
the Company in relation to its consolidated financial position
or liquidity.

Stock-Based
Compensation
|
The Company has a stock-based compensation plan available to
grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options,
SSARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units
(RSUs) and other stock or cash-based awards to key
employees, non-employee directors, advisors and consultants.
Under the Wyndham Worldwide Corporation 2006 Equity and
Incentive Plan, which was approved by Cendant, the sole
shareholder, and became effective on July 12, 2006, a
maximum of 43.5 million shares of common stock may be
awarded. As of June 30, 2007, approximately
17.9 million shares of availability remained.
|
|
|
Incentive
Equity Awards Conversion
|
Prior to August 1, 2006, all employee stock awards (stock
options and 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 the 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. As of June 30, 2007, there were no converted
RSUs outstanding.
The activity related to the converted stock options through
June 30, 2007 consisted of the following:

Aggregate unrecognized compensation expense related to SSARs and
RSUs amounted to $102 million as of June 30, 2007.
|

Approximately 2.6 million RSUs outstanding at June 30,
2007 are expected to vest.
|
|
(e)
|
Approximately 140,000 of the approximately 900,000 SSARs are
exercisable at June 30, 2007. Since the SSARs were issued
to the Companys top five officers, the Company assumes
that all remaining unvested SSARs are expected to vest. SSARs
outstanding at June 30, 2007 had an intrinsic value of
approximately $2 million and have a weighted average
remaining contractual life of 7.3 years.
|
On May 2, 2007, the Company approved the grant of incentive
awards of approximately $53 million to key employees and
senior officers of Wyndham in the form of RSUs and SSARs. These
awards will vest ratably over a period of four years.
The grant date fair value of SSARs granted on May 2, 2007
was $9.86. 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 24.7% based on both
historical and implied volatility, (ii) expected life of
4.25 years, (iii) risk free interest rate of 4.5% and
(iv) an expected dividend yield of 0.44%.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the
Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of
$6 million and $11 million, respectively, related to
the incentive equity awards granted by the Company.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006,
Cendant allocated pre-tax stock-based compensation expense of
$4 million and $11 million, respectively, to the
Company. 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.

The reportable segments presented below represent the
Companys operating segments for which separate financial
information is available and which is utilized on a regular
basis by its chief operating decision maker to assess
performance and to allocate resources. In identifying its
reportable segments, the Company also considers the nature of
services provided by its operating segments. Management
evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable
segments based upon net revenues and EBITDA, which
is defined as net income before depreciation and amortization,
interest expense (excluding interest on securitized vacation
ownership debt), income taxes and cumulative effect of
accounting change, net of tax, each of which is 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 and
Cendants former real estate services (Realogy)
and travel distribution services (Travelport) for
such liabilities) and guarantee commitments related to deferred
compensation arrangements with each of Cendant and Realogy.
These guarantee arrangements primarily relate to certain
contingent litigation liabilities, contingent tax liabilities,
and Cendant contingent and other corporate liabilities, of which
the Company assumed and is responsible for 37.5% of these
Cendant liabilities. The amount of liabilities which were
assumed by the Company in connection with the Separation
approximated $373 million and $434 million at
June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
These amounts were comprised of certain Cendant corporate
liabilities which were recorded on the books of Cendant as well
as additional liabilities which were established for guarantees
issued at the date of Separation related to certain unresolved
contingent matters and certain others that could arise during
the guarantee period. Regarding the guarantees, if any of the
companies responsible for all or a portion of such liabilities
were to default in its payment of costs or expenses related to
any such liability, the Company would be responsible for a
portion of the defaulting party or parties obligation. The
Company also provided a default guarantee related to certain
deferred compensation arrangements related to certain current
and former senior officers and directors of Cendant, Realogy and
Travelport. These arrangements, 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.
18
The $373 million is comprised of $16 million for
litigation matters, $236 million for tax liabilities,
$99 million for other contingent and corporate liabilities
including liabilities of previously sold businesses of Cendant
and $22 million of liabilities where the calculated
FIN 45 guarantee amount exceeded the SFAS No. 5
Accounting for Contingencies liability assumed at
the date of Separation (of which $19 million of the
$22 million pertain to litigation liabilities). Of these
liabilities, $113 million are recorded in current due to
former Parent and subsidiaries and $240 million are
recorded in long-term due to former Parent and subsidiaries at
June 30, 2007 on the Condensed Consolidated 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 $22 million
relating to the FIN 45 guarantees is recorded in other
current liabilities at June 30, 2007 on the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition, the Company has a
$31 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 Balance Sheet. At
December 31, 2006, the Company had recorded a
$37 million receivable in non-current due from former
Parent and subsidiaries on the Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheet, which represented the Companys right, pursuant to
the Separation agreement, to receive 37.5% of any proceeds from
the ultimate sale of Cendants preferred stock investment
in and warrants of Affinion Group Holdings, Inc.
(Affinion). On January 31, 2007, Affinion
redeemed a portion of the preferred stock investment owned by
Avis Budget Group, of which the Company owned a 37.5% interest
pursuant to the Separation agreement. Upon the Companys
receipt of its share of the proceeds resulting from
Affinions redemption, such receivable was reduced to
$10 million. As of March 31, 2007, the
$10 million receivable was reclassified to other
non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets
as the investment had been legally transferred to the Company
from Avis Budget Group. Such amount was $10 million as of
June 30, 2007. Accordingly, the Company owns a preferred
stock investment and warrants in Affinion and accounts for them
in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.
Following is a discussion of the liabilities on which the
Company issued guarantees:
|
|
|
|
|
Contingent litigation liabilities The Company has assumed
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. The Company
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. During the six months
ended June 30, 2007, Cendant settled a number of these
lawsuits and the Company assumed a portion of the related
indemnification obligations. As discussed above, for each
settlement, the Company paid 37.5% of the aggregate settlement
amount to Cendant. The Companys payment obligations under
the settlements were greater or less than the Companys
accruals, depending on the matter. As a result of these
settlements and payments to Cendant, as well as other
reductions, the Companys aggregate accrual for outstanding
Cendant contingent litigation liabilities was reduced from
$40 million at December 31, 2006 to $16 million
at June 30, 2007.
|
|
|
|
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 The
Company has 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. 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 Company
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, the
Company has 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
|
19
|
|
|
|
|
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 the Companys Separation from Cendant, it 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 the Company 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 and six
months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded
$3 million and $9 million, respectively, of expenses
in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income related to
these agreements.
Separation
and Related Costs
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the
Company incurred costs of $7 million and $13 million,
respectively, in connection with executing the Separation,
consisting primarily of expenses related to the rebranding
initiative at the Companys vacation ownership business and
certain transitional expenses. During the three and six months
ended June 30, 2006, the Company incurred costs of
$5 million and $8 million, respectively, in connection
with executing the Separation, consisting primarily of
consulting and legal services and the acceleration of vesting of
certain employee incentive awards.

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,
treasury and cash management, certain employee benefits and real
estate usage for common space. The Company was allocated
$9 million and $17 million during the three and six
months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, of general
corporate expenses from Cendant, which are included within
general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Combined
Statement of Income. There were no allocations during the three
and six months ended June 30, 2007 since the Company
was operating as a stand-alone company.
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, telecommunications and real
estate usage for Company-specific space. The Company was
allocated $15 million and $32 million during the three
and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, of
expenses directly benefiting the Company, which are included
within general and administrative and operating expenses on the
Condensed Combined Statement of Income. There were no
allocations during the three and six months ended June 30,
2007 since the Company was operating as a stand-alone company.
20
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.
Income
Taxes, net
Prior to the Separation, the Company was included in the
consolidated federal and state income tax returns of Cendant.
Balances due to Cendant for this short period return and related
tax attributes were estimated as of December 31, 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.
Net
Interest Earned on Net Intercompany Funding to Former
Parent
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 $2,005 million as of
June 30, 2006. 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 income of $11 million and
$21 million during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2006, respectively.
Related
Party Agreements
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.
Dividend
Declaration
On July 31, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors
declared a dividend of $0.04 per share payable September 4,
2007 to shareholders of record as of August 13, 2007.

stock to the holders of Cendant common stock issued and
outstanding on July 21, 2006, the record date for the

way trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the

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 sale of Travelport on August 22, 2006,
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.
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 $9 million and
$17 million during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2006, 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
net revenues and EBITDA. Our presentation of EBITDA may not be
comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

During the second quarter of 2007, our net revenues increased
$145 million (15%) principally due to (i) a
$66 million increase in net sales of VOIs at our vacation
ownership businesses due to higher tour flow and an increase in
VPG; (ii) a $20 million increase in net revenues from
rental transactions primarily due to growth in rental
transaction volume and an increase in the average net price per
rental; (iii) a $18 million increase in net consumer
financing revenues earned on vacation ownership contract
receivables due primarily to growth in the portfolio;
(iv) $18 million of incremental property management
fees within our vacation ownership business primarily as a
result of growth in the number of units under management;
(v) a $10 million increase in net revenues in our
lodging business, primarily due to RevPAR growth and incremental
net revenues generated by our TripRewards loyalty program and
(vi) an $8 million increase in annual dues and
exchange revenues due to growth in the average number of members
and favorable transaction pricing, partially offset by a decline
in exchange transactions per member. The net revenue increase at
our vacation exchange and rentals business includes the
favorable impact of foreign currency translation of
$10 million. Such increases were partially offset by a
$5 million decrease in our vacation exchange and rentals
revenues related to an adjustment to previously recorded
revenues relating to consulting activities in Asia Pacific.
Total expenses increased $105 million (13%) principally
reflecting (i) a $78 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 vacation exchange and rentals and vacation
ownership businesses, increased costs related to the property
management services that we provide at our vacation ownership
business, corporate costs incurred as a stand-alone, public
company and increased interest expense on our securitized debt,
which is included in operating expenses;
(ii) $31 million of increased cost of sales primarily
associated with increased VOI sales; (iii) a
$14 million increase in organic marketing and reservation
expenses primarily resulting from increased marketing
initiatives across all our businesses; (iv) the unfavorable
impact of foreign currency translation on expenses of
$9 million; (v) $5 million in employee incentive
program expenses at our vacation exchange and rentals business
not incurred in the second quarter of 2006;
(vi) $4 million of higher cost of sales on rentals of
vacation stay intervals and (vii) $2 million of
incremental costs related to our separation from Cendant. These
increases were partially offset by (i) the absence of a
$21 million charge recorded at our vacation exchange and
rentals business during the second quarter of 2006 related to
local taxes payable to certain foreign jurisdictions;
(ii) $17 million related to the resolution of and
adjustment to certain contingent liabilities and assets;
(iii) the absence of $4 million of costs recorded at
our vacation ownership business associated with the repair of
one of our completed VOI resorts during the second quarter of
2006 and (iv) the absence of $3 million of costs
incurred at our vacation exchange and rentals business during
the second quarter of 2006 to support infrastructure growth. In
addition, we recorded two items during the second quarter of
2007 related to a prior acquisition at our vacation ownership
business: an additional litigation settlement reserve of
$7 million, partially offset by the reversal of a
$5 million reserve due to the resolution of a
vendor-related tax liability resulting from such acquisition.
The increase in depreciation and amortization of $5 million
primarily resulted from capital investments placed into service
during the second half of 2006 and the first half of 2007.
Interest expense decreased $5 million due to interest on
local taxes payable to certain foreign jurisdictions, partially
offset by higher interest rates and a higher average balance on
borrowings. Interest income decreased $10 million in the
second quarter of 2007 primarily due to our current capital
structure as a result of the Separation. While we expect limited
ongoing separation and related costs, we cannot estimate the
effect of legacy matters for the remainder of 2007. Excluding
the tax impact on such matters, we expect our effective tax rate
to approximate 38%.
As a result of these items, our net income increased
$21 million quarter-over-quarter.

Net revenues and EBITDA increased $10 million (6%) and
$6 million (11%), respectively, during the second quarter
of 2007 compared with the second quarter of 2006 primarily
reflecting strong RevPAR gains across the majority of our
brands, which were partially offset in EBITDA by increased
employee and information technology costs to support current and
future growth, all of which are discussed in more detail below.
Net revenues in our lodging business increased primarily due to
RevPAR growth of 4%, which was substantially driven by price
increases, reflecting (i) the beneficial impact of
management and marketing initiatives and a sharper focus on
quality enhancements, including strengthening our brand
standards, as well as (ii) an overall improvement in the
economy and midscale lodging segments, which are the segments
where we primarily compete. Additionally, our TripRewards
loyalty program generated an incremental $3 million of net
revenues resulting from increased member stays. Our property
management business also generated an incremental
$2 million of reimbursable revenues primarily relating to
payroll costs that we incur and pay on behalf of property owners
and for which we are reimbursed by the 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.
EBITDA further reflects (i) $2 million of incremental
employee-related costs primarily as a result of higher incentive
and benefit costs and (ii) $2 million of increased
information technology costs related to developing a more robust
infrastructure to support current and future growth. Such
increases were partially offset by a $1 million decrease in
marketing spend due to a delay in certain marketing programs to
later in the year.
As of June 30, 2007, we had 6,460 properties and 541,676
rooms in our system. Additionally, our hotel development
pipeline included approximately 900 hotels and approximately
100,000 rooms, of which approximately 25% were international and
approximately 46% were new construction as of June 30, 2007.
Vacation
Exchange and Rentals
Net revenues and EBITDA increased $27 million (10%) and
$17 million (53%), respectively, in the second quarter of
2007 compared with the second quarter of 2006. Our increase in
net revenues primarily reflects a $20 million increase in
net revenues from rental transactions, an $8 million
increase in annual dues and exchange revenues and a
$4 million increase in ancillary revenues, partially offset
by a $5 million decrease in revenues related to an
adjustment to previously recorded revenues relating to
consulting activities in Asia Pacific. Our increase in EBITDA
primarily reflects an increase in expenses, as discussed below,
partially offset by the absence of a $21 million charge
recorded in second quarter 2006 related to local taxes payable
to certain foreign jurisdictions. Net revenue and expense
increases include $10 million and $9 million,
respectively, from a weaker U.S. dollar compared to other
foreign currencies and the related currency translation impact.
25
Net revenues generated from rental transactions and related
services increased $20 million (17%) during the second
quarter of 2007 driven by (i) a 5% increase in rental
transaction volume and (ii) an 11% increase in the average
net price per rental. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign
exchange movements, average net price per rental increased 5%.
The growth in rental transaction volume was primarily the result
of increased bookings and arrivals at our Novasol and Landal
businesses, which primarily resulted from (i) enhanced
marketing programs initiated to support an expansion strategy to
provide consumers with broader inventories and more destinations
and (ii) improved local economies. Such growth was
partially offset by a decline primarily related to our French
destination camping activities. The increase in net revenues
from rental transactions and the average net price per rental
includes the translation effects of foreign exchange movements,
which favorably impacted net rental revenues by $7 million.
Annual dues and exchange revenues increased $8 million (7%)
during the second quarter of 2007 as compared with the second
quarter of 2006 primarily due to a 2% increase in annual dues
and exchange revenue per member and a 5% increase in the average
number of members. The increase in the annual dues and exchange
revenue per member was a result of favorable transaction
pricing, partially offset by a 3% decline in exchange
transactions per average member as compared with second quarter
2006. We believe that a growing trend in timeshare vacation
ownership sales to sell multiyear products, whereby the members
have access to the product every second or third year, has a
positive impact on the average number of members but an
offsetting effect on the number of exchange transactions per
average member. Ancillary revenues from various sources
collectively increased $4 million during the second quarter
of 2007 as compared with the second quarter of 2006 primarily
including fees from club servicing, fees from our credit card
loyalty program and fees generated from programs with
affiliates, partially offset by a $5 million decrease in
revenues related to an adjustment to previously recorded
revenues relating to consulting activities in Asia Pacific. The
increase in annual dues and exchange revenues and ancillary
revenues includes the translation effects of foreign exchange
movements, which favorably impacted revenues by $3 million.
EBITDA further reflects an increase in expenses of
$10 million (4%) primarily driven by (i) a
$9 million increase in volume-related expenses, which was
substantially comprised of incremental costs to support growth
in rental transaction volume, as discussed above, and increased
staffing costs to support member growth and increased call
volumes, (ii) the unfavorable impact of foreign currency
translation on expenses of $9 million,
(iii) $5 million in employee incentive program
expenses not incurred in the second quarter of 2006,
(iv) $4 million of incremental expenses incurred for
product and geographic expansion, 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) $4 million of
higher cost of sales on rentals of vacation stay intervals.
These increases were partially offset by (i) the absence of
a $21 million charge recorded during the second quarter of
2006 related to local taxes payable to certain foreign
jurisdictions.
Vacation
Ownership
Net revenues and EBITDA increased $111 million (21%) and
$16 million (19%), respectively, during the second quarter
of 2007 compared with the second quarter of 2006. The operating
results reflect growth in vacation ownership sales and consumer
finance income, as well as the impact of operational changes
made during 2006 that resulted in the recognition of revenues
that would have otherwise been deferred until a later date under
the provisions of SFAS No. 152. The impact of these
operational changes in 2006 resulted in higher net revenues and
EBITDA of $25 million and $13 million, respectively,
that were not replicated in the second quarter of 2007.
Gross sales of VOIs at our vacation ownership business increased
$89 million (21%) in the second quarter of 2007, driven
principally by an 11% increase in tour flow and a 12% increase
in VPG. Tour flow was positively impacted by the continued
development of our in-house sales programs and the opening of
new sales locations. VPG benefited from a favorable tour mix,
improved efficiency in our upgrade program and higher pricing.
Net revenue and EBITDA comparisons were negatively impacted by
$5 million and $3 million, respectively, as a result
of the deferral of VOI sales under the percentage- of-completion
method of accounting. Net revenues were also impacted by
$18 million of incremental property management fees during
the second quarter of 2007 primarily as a result of growth in
the number of units under management.
In addition, net revenues and EBITDA increased $18 million
and $8 million, respectively, during the second quarter of
2007 due to net interest income earned on contract receivables
of $63 million during the second quarter of 2007 as
26
compared to $55 million during the second quarter of 2006.
Such increase was primarily due to growth in the portfolio,
partially offset in EBITDA by higher interest costs during the
second quarter of 2007. We paid interest expense on our
securitized debt of $25 million at a weighted average rate
of 5.2% during the second quarter of 2007 compared to
$15 million at a weighted average rate of 4.2% during the
second quarter of 2006. Our net interest income margin decreased
from 79% during the second quarter of 2006 to 72% during the
second quarter of 2007 due to increased interest expense paid on
our $155 million Premium Yield Facility
2007-A,
which we closed during February 2007, interest expense paid on
our $600 million securitized term notes, Sierra Timeshare
2007-1
Receivables Funding, LLC, issued in May 2007, increased interest
rates, as described above, and an increased average balance on
our other securitized debt facilities during second quarter 2007
as compared to second quarter 2006.
EBITDA further reflects an increase of approximately
$99 million (24%) in operating, marketing and
administrative expenses, exclusive of the impact of the
operational changes made in conjunction with the adoption of
SFAS No. 152 and the percentage-of-completion method
of accounting, primarily resulting from
(i) $33 million of increased cost of sales primarily
associated with increased VOI sales, (ii) $19 million
of additional commission expense associated with increased VOI
sales, (iii) $13 million of increased costs related to
the property management services discussed above,
(iv) $12 million of incremental costs primarily
incurred to fund additional staffing needs to support continued
growth in the business, (v) $11 million of incremental
marketing expenses to support sales efforts and
(vi) $3 million of costs related to our separation
from Cendant. Such increases were partially offset by the
absence of $4 million of costs associated with the repair
of one of our completed VOI resorts during the second quarter of
2006. In addition, we recorded two items during the second
quarter of 2007 related to a prior acquisition: an additional
litigation settlement reserve of $7 million, partially
offset by the reversal of a $5 million reserve due to the
resolution of a vendor-related tax liability resulting from to
such acquisition.
Corporate
and Other
Corporate and Other expenses decreased $9 million in the
second quarter of 2007 compared with the second quarter of 2006.
Such decrease primarily includes $17 million related to the
resolution of and adjustment to certain contingent liabilities
and assets, partially offset by $10 million of stand-alone,
corporate costs incurred during the second quarter of 2007.
Interest
Expense/Interest Income
Interest expense decreased $5 million in the second quarter
of 2007 compared with the second quarter of 2006 primarily as a
result of (i) the absence of $11 million of interest
on local taxes payable to certain foreign jurisdictions,
(ii) a decline of $9 million of interest paid on our
vacation ownership asset-linked debt due to its elimination by
our former Parent in July 2006 and (iii) a $2 million
increase in capitalized interest at our vacation ownership
business increased due to the development of vacation ownership
inventory, partially offset by $17 million of interest paid
on the new borrowing arrangements that we entered into in July
2006 and December 2006. Interest income decreased
$10 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared with the
second quarter of 2006 primarily as a result of an
$11 million decrease in net interest income earned on
advances between us and our former Parent, since those advances
were eliminated upon our separation from Cendant, partially
offset by a $1 million increase in interest income earned
on invested cash balances as a result of a increase in cash
available for investment.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, our net revenues
increased $287 million (16%) principally due to (i) a
$131 million increase in net sales of VOIs at our vacation
ownership businesses due to higher tour flow and an increase in
VPG; (ii) a $38 million increase in net revenues from
rental transactions primarily due to growth in rental
transaction volume and an increase in the average net price per
rental; (iii) a $34 million increase in net consumer
financing revenues earned on vacation ownership contract
receivables due primarily to growth in the portfolio;
(iv) $34 million of incremental property management
fees within our vacation ownership business primarily as a
result of growth in the number of units under management;
(v) a $17 million increase in annual dues and exchange
revenues due to growth in the average number of members and
favorable transaction pricing, partially offset by a decline in
exchange transactions per member; (vi) a $15 million
increase in organic net revenues in our lodging business,
primarily due to RevPAR growth and incremental net revenues
generated by our TripRewards loyalty program;
(vii) $8 million of incremental ancillary revenues
from our vacation exchange and rentals business and
(viii) $3 million of incremental net revenues
generated as a result of the acquisition of the Baymont
Inn & Suites brand. The net revenue increase at our
vacation exchange and rentals business includes the favorable
impact of foreign currency translation of $21 million. Such
increases were partially offset by a $5 million decrease in
our vacation exchange and rentals revenues related to an
adjustment to previously recorded revenues relating to
consulting activities in Asia Pacific.
Total expenses increased $242 million (16%) principally
reflecting (i) a $151 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 vacation exchange and rentals and vacation
ownership businesses, increased costs related to the property
management services that we provide at our vacation ownership
business, corporate costs incurred as a stand-alone, public
company and increased interest expense on our securitized debt,
which is included in operating expenses;
(ii) $69 million of increased cost of sales primarily
associated with increased VOI sales; (iii) a
$34 million increase in organic marketing and reservation
expenses primarily resulting from increased marketing
initiatives across our vacation ownership and vacation exchange
and rentals businesses; (iv) the unfavorable impact of
foreign currency translation on expenses of $19 million;
(v) $9 million in employee incentive program expenses
at our vacation exchange and rentals business not incurred
during the six months ended June 30, 2006;
(vi) $7 million of higher cost of sales on rentals of
vacation stay intervals and (vii) $5 million of
incremental costs related to our separation from Cendant. These
increases were partially offset by (i) $30 million
related to the resolution of and adjustment to certain
contingent liabilities and assets; (ii) the absence of a
$21 million charge recorded at our vacation exchange and
rentals business during the second quarter of 2006 related to
local taxes payable to certain foreign jurisdictions;
(iii) the absence of $4 million of costs recorded at
our vacation ownership business associated with the repair of
one of our completed VOI resorts during the second quarter of
2006 and (iv) the absence of $4 million of costs
incurred at our vacation exchange and rentals business during
the second quarter of 2006 to support infrastructure growth. In
addition, we recorded the two items during the second quarter of
2007 related to a prior acquisition at our vacation ownership
business: an additional litigation settlement reserve of
$7 million, partially offset by the reversal of a
$5 million reserve due to the resolution of a
vendor-related tax liability resulting from such acquisition.
The increase in depreciation and amortization of $9 million
primarily resulted from capital investments placed into service
during the second half of 2006 and the first half of 2007.
Interest expense increased $2 million and interest income
decreased $19 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2007 primarily due to our current capital
structure as a result of the Separation. While we expect limited
ongoing separation and related costs, we cannot estimate the
effect of legacy matters for the remainder of 2007. Excluding
the tax impact on such matters, we expect our effective tax rate
to approximate 38%.
We recorded an after tax charge of $65 million during the
first quarter of 2006 as a cumulative effect of an accounting
change related to the adoption of SFAS No. 152. Such
charge consisted of (i) a pre-tax charge of
$105 million representing the deferral of revenue, costs
associated with sales of VOIs 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.
As a result of these items, our net income increased
$79 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007
over the same period in 2006.

Net revenues and EBITDA increased $18 million (6%) and
$10 million (11%), respectively, in the six months ended
June 30, 2007 compared with the same period in 2006
primarily reflecting strong RevPAR gains across the majority of
our brands and the April 2006 acquisition of the Baymont
Inn & Suites brand, which were partially offset in
EBITDA by increased employee and information technology costs,
all of which are discussed in more detail below.
The acquisition of the Baymont Inn & Suites brand
contributed incremental net revenues and EBITDA of
$3 million and $2 million, respectively. Apart from
this acquisition, net revenues in our lodging business increased
$15 million (4%) in the six months ended June 30, 2007
compared with the same period in 2006. Such increase was
primarily due to organic RevPAR growth of 3%, which was driven
by both price and occupancy increases reflecting (i) the
beneficial impact of management and marketing initiatives and a
sharper focus on quality enhancements, including strengthening
our brand standards, as well as (ii) an overall improvement
in the economy and midscale lodging segments, which are the
segments where we primarily compete. Additionally, our
TripRewards loyalty program generated an incremental
$5 million in net revenues due to increased member stays.
Our property management business also generated an incremental
$2 million of incremental reimbursable revenues primarily
relating to payroll costs that we incur and pay on behalf of
property owners and for which we are reimbursed by the property
owner. 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.
EBITDA further reflects (i) $5 million of increased
employee-related costs primarily as a result of higher incentive
costs and higher benefit costs and (ii) $2 million of
increased information technology costs related to developing a
more robust infrastructure to support current and future growth.
Although a delay in certain marketing programs has caused a
$2 million decrease in our marketing spend, we continue to
invest in the Wyndham Hotels and Resorts brand through enhanced
marketing efforts. During the six months ended June 30,
2007, we invested $5 million above the marketing fees we
received from franchisees, which is comparable to the amount we
spent during the same period in 2006.
Vacation
Exchange and Rentals
Net revenues and EBITDA increased $58 million (11%) and
$25 million (23%), respectively, in the six months ended
June 30, 2007 compared with the same period in 2006. Our
increase in net revenues primarily reflects a $38 million
increase in net revenues from rental transactions, a
$17 million increase in annual dues and exchange revenues
and an $8 million increase in ancillary revenues, partially
offset by a $5 million decrease in revenues related to an
adjustment to previously recorded revenues relating to
consulting activities in Asia Pacific. Our increase in EBITDA
primarily reflects an increase in expenses, as discussed below,
partially offset by the absence of a $21 million charge
recorded in second quarter 2006 related to local taxes payable
to certain foreign jurisdictions. Net revenue and expense
increases include $21 million and $19 million,
respectively, from a weaker U.S. dollar compared to other
foreign currencies and the related currency translation impact.
29
Net revenues generated from rental transactions and related
services increased $38 million (16%) during the six months
ended June 30, 2007 driven by (i) a 4% increase in
rental transaction volume and (ii) an 11% increase in the
average net price per rental. Excluding the favorable impact of
foreign exchange movements, average net price per rental
increased 5%. The growth in rental transaction volume was
primarily due to increased bookings and arrivals at our Novasol
and Landal businesses, which primarily resulted from
(i) enhanced marketing programs initiated to support an
expansion strategy to provide consumers with broader inventories
and more destinations and (ii) improved local economies.
Such growth was partially offset by a decline primarily related
to our French destination camping activities. The increase in
net revenues from rental transactions and the average net price
per rental includes the translation effects of foreign exchange
movements, which favorably impacted net rental revenues by
$16 million.
Annual dues and exchange revenues increased $17 million
(7%) during the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared
with the same period in 2006 primarily due to a 2% increase in
annual dues and exchange revenue per member and a 5% increase in
the average number of members. The increase in the annual dues
and exchange revenue per member was a result of favorable
transaction pricing, partially offset by a 3% decline in
exchange transactions per average member as compared with the
six months ended June 30, 2006. We believe that a growing
trend in timeshare vacation ownership sales to sell multiyear
products, whereby the members have access to the product every
second or third year, has a positive impact on the average
number of members but an offsetting effect on the number of
exchange transactions per average member. Ancillary revenues
from various sources collectively increased $8 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared with
the same period in 2006 primarily including additional
consulting fees, fees from club servicing, fees from our credit
card loyalty program and fees generated from programs with
affiliates, partially offset by a $5 million decrease in
revenues related to an adjustment to previously recorded
revenues relating to consulting activities in Asia Pacific.
The increase in annual dues and exchange revenues and ancillary
revenues includes the translation effects of foreign exchange
movements, which favorably impacted revenues by $5 million.
EBITDA further reflects an increase in expenses of
$33 million (8%) primarily driven by (i) the
unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation on expenses
of $19 million, (ii) a $14 million increase in
volume-related expenses, which was substantially comprised of
incremental costs to support growth in rental transaction
volume, as discussed above, and increased staffing costs to
support member growth and increased call volumes,
(iii) $9 million in employee incentive program
expenses not incurred in the six months ended June 30,
2006, (iv) $7 million of higher cost of sales on
rentals of vacation stay intervals and (v) $4 million
of incremental expenses incurred for product and geographic
expansion, including increased marketing campaigns, timing of
certain other marketing expenses, expansion of property
recruitment efforts and investment in our consulting and
international activities. These increases were partially offset
by (i) the absence of a $21 million charge recorded
during the second quarter of 2006 related to local taxes payable
to certain foreign jurisdictions.
Vacation
Ownership
Net revenues and EBITDA increased $215 million (22%) and
$14 million (9%), respectively, during the six months ended
June 30, 2007 compared with the six months ended
June 30, 2006. The operating results reflect growth in
vacation ownership sales and consumer finance income, as well as
the impact of operational changes made during 2006 that resulted
in the recognition of revenues that would have otherwise been
deferred until a later date under the provisions of
SFAS No. 152. The impact of these operational changes
in 2006 resulted in higher net revenues and EBITDA of
$62 million and $33 million, respectively, that were
not replicated during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Gross sales of VOIs at our vacation ownership business increased
$162 million (21%) during the six months ended
June 30, 2007, driven principally by a 13% increase in tour
flow and an 11% increase in VPG. Tour flow was positively
impacted by the continued development of our in-house sales
programs and the opening of new sales locations. VPG benefited
from a favorable tour mix, improved efficiency in our upgrade
program and higher pricing. Net revenue and EBITDA comparisons
were negatively impacted by $13 million and
$7 million, respectively, as a result of the deferral of
VOI sales under the percentage-of-completion method of
accounting. Net revenues were also impacted by $34 million
of incremental property management fees during the six months
ended June 30, 2007 primarily as a result of growth in the
number of units under management.
30
In addition, net revenues and EBITDA increased $34 million
and $15 million, respectively, during the six months ended
June 30, 2007 due to net interest income earned on contract
receivables of $121 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2007 as compared to $106 million during the
six months ended June 30, 2006. Such increase was primarily
due to growth in the portfolio, partially offset in EBITDA by
higher interest costs during the six months ended June 30,
2007. We paid interest expense on our securitized debt of
$48 million at a weighted average rate of 5.1% during the
six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $29 million
at a weighted average rate of 4.2% during the six months ended
June 30, 2006. Our net interest income margin decreased
from 79% during the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 72%
during the six months ended June 30, 2007 due to increased
interest expense paid on our $155 million Premium Yield
Facility
2007-A,
which we closed during February 2007, interest expense paid on
our $600 million securitized term notes, Sierra Timeshare
2007-1
Receivables Funding, LLC, issued in May 2007 and increased
interest rates, as described above, and an increased average
balance on our other securitized debt facilities during the six
months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period
during 2006.
EBITDA further reflects an increase of approximately
$217 million (29%) in operating, marketing and
administrative expenses, exclusive of the impact of the
operational changes made in conjunction with the adoption of
SFAS No. 152 and the percentage-of-completion method
of accounting, primarily resulting from
(i) $71 million of increased cost of sales primarily
associated with increased VOI sales, (ii) $41 million
of additional commission expense associated with increased VOI
sales, (iii) $32 million of incremental marketing
expenses to support sales efforts, (iv) $28 million of
increased costs related to the property management services
discussed above, (v) $18 million of incremental costs
primarily incurred to fund additional staffing needs to support
continued growth in the business and (vi) $6 million
of costs related to our separation from Cendant. Such increases
were partially offset by the absence of $4 million of costs
associated with the repair of one of our completed VOI resorts
during the six months ended June 30, 2006. In addition, we
recorded two items during the second quarter of 2007 related to
a prior acquisition: an additional litigation settlement reserve
of $7 million, partially offset by the reversal of a
$5 million reserve due to the resolution of a
vendor-related tax liability resulting from such acquisition.
Corporate
and Other
Corporate and Other expenses decreased $9 million in the
six months ended June 30, 2007 compared with the six months
ended June 30, 2006. Such decrease primarily includes
$30 million related to the resolution of and adjustment to
certain liabilities and assets, partially offset by
$23 million of stand-alone, corporate costs incurred during
the second quarter of 2007.
Interest
Expense/Interest Income
Interest expense increased $2 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2007 compared with the same period in 2006
primarily as a result of $35 million of interest paid on
the new borrowing arrangements that we entered into in July 2006
and December 2006, partially offset by (i) a decline of
$16 million of interest paid on our vacation ownership
asset-linked debt due to its elimination by our former Parent in
July 2006, (ii) the absence of $11 million of interest
on local taxes payable to certain foreign jurisdictions and
(iii) a $6 million increase in capitalized interest at
our vacation ownership business increased due to the development
of vacation ownership inventory. Interest income decreased
$19 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007
compared with the same period in 2006 primarily as a result of a
$21 million decrease in net interest income earned on
advances between us and our former Parent, since those advances
were eliminated upon our separation from Cendant, partially
offset by a $2 million increase in interest income earned
on invested cash balances as a result of a increase in cash
available for investment.

Total assets increased $474 million from December 31,
2006 to June 30, 2007 primarily due to (i) a
$257 million increase in vacation ownership contract
receivables, net resulting from increased VOI sales, (ii) a
$125 million increase in inventory primarily related to
vacation ownership inventories associated with increased
property development activity, (iii) an $81 million
increase in other non-current assets primarily due to increased
restricted cash, deferred financing costs and derivatives at our
vacation ownership business resulting from our new
securitization facilities and an investment made
31
within our lodging business to acquire a minority equity
interest, (iv) a $69 million increase in other current
assets primarily due to increased restricted cash resulting from
increased VOI sales and contractual renovations at one of our
managed Landal parks, increased assets held for sale due to the
approved sale of certain vacation ownership assets and the
timing of receivables that will reverse in the third
and/or
fourth quarters of 2007 and (v) a $31 million increase
in property and equipment primarily due to building within our
vacation ownership and vacation exchange and rentals businesses
and additions related to back office expenditures at corporate
resulting from our separation from Cendant. Such increases were
partially offset by a $71 million decrease in due from
former Parent and subsidiaries related to payments made from
Cendant to reimburse us for monies they collected on our behalf
and expenses we paid on their behalf relating to the separation
and the reduction of our right to receive proceeds from the sale
of Cendants preferred stock sale investment in and
warrants of Affinion as a result of Affinions redemption
of a portion of the preferred stock investment owned by Avis
Budget Group.
Total liabilities increased $733 million primarily due to
(i) $516 million of additional net borrowings
reflecting an additional series of term notes payable, Sierra
Timeshare
2007-1
Receivables Funding, LLC, secured by vacation ownership contract
receivables in the initial principal amount of $600 million
entered into in May 2007, $215 million of net proceeds from
borrowings on our revolving credit facility and a
$155 million securitization facility entered into in
February 2007, partially offset by $271 million of payments
made on our securitized vacation ownership term notes,
$134 million of net payments made on our securitized
vacation ownership bank conduit facility and $73 million to
repay our vacation rental bank borrowings, (ii) a
$91 million increase in deferred income primarily due to
cash received in advance on arrival-based bookings and increased
deferred revenue resulting from new enrollments and renewals
within our vacation exchange and rentals business, (iii) a
$79 million increase in accrued expenses and other current
liabilities primarily due to increased accrued legal settlements
at our vacation ownership and vacation exchange and rentals
businesses, increased marketing expenses to promote growth in
our businesses, increased accrued health and welfare benefits
and increased local taxes payable to certain foreign
jurisdictions within our vacation exchange and rentals business,
(iv) a $77 million increase in deferred income taxes
primarily attributable to higher VOI sales, (v) a
$24 million increase in accounts payable primarily due to
seasonality of bookings at our vacation exchange and rentals
business, partially offset by timing differences of payments on
accounts payable at the corporate level and (vi) a
$14 million increase in other non-current liabilities
primarily due to the establishment of a $20 million
liability for unrecognized tax benefits in connection with our
adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109. Such increases were partially
offset by a $68 million decrease in due to former Parent
and subsidiaries primarily as a result of our payment of or
other reductions in certain contingent and other corporate
liabilities of our former Parent or its subsidiaries which were
created upon our separation.
Total stockholders equity decreased $259 million
principally due to $463 million of treasury stock purchased
through our stock repurchase program. Such decrease was
partially offset by (i) $182 million of net income
generated during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and
(ii) a reduction in retained earnings of $20 million
related to the establishment of a liability for unrecognized tax
benefits in connection with our adoption of FIN 48.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Currently, our financing needs are supported by cash generated
from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit
facility. In addition, certain funding requirements of our
vacation ownership business are met through the issuance of
securitized and other debt to finance vacation ownership
contract receivables. With the completion of the financings
related to our separation and the issuance of our
6.00% senior unsecured notes, our liquidity has been
further augmented through available capacity under our revolving
credit facility. We believe that access to this facility and our
current liquidity vehicles will be sufficient to meet our
ongoing needs for the foreseeable future.
CASH
FLOWS
During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we had
a net change in cash and cash equivalents of $18 million
and $49 million, respectively. The following table

Operating
Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we generated
$111 million less cash from operating activities as
compared to the same period in 2006, which principally reflects
(i) higher investments in vacation ownership contract
receivables and inventory and (ii) less cash received in
connection with advanced bookings in arrival based business
within our vacation exchange and rentals business for which the
revenue recognition is deferred. Such change was partially
offset by increased deferred income taxes primarily attributable
to higher VOI sales. Inventory and vacation ownership contract
receivables are expected to increase for the remainder of 2007
due to growth in VOI sales. The growth in vacation ownership
receivables will be partially funded by net proceeds received
from secured borrowings.
Investing
Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we used
$129 million less cash for investing activities as compared
with the same period in 2006. The decrease in cash outflows
primarily relates to (i) the absence of $110 million
of intercompany funding to former Parent due to our separation
from Cendant and (ii) lower acquisition-related payments of
$55 million due to the acquisition of the Baymont brand for
approximately $60 million in cash during 2006. Such
decreases in cash outflows were partially offset by (i) an
increase of $21 million in investments and development
advances primarily due an investment made within our lodging
business to acquire a minority equity interest and (ii) an
increase of $21 million in capital expenditures primarily
due to additions at our vacation ownership business and
corporate infrastructure costs associated with our separation
from Cendant.
Financing
Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we generated
$85 million less cash from financing activities as compared
with the same period in 2006, which principally reflects
incremental cash outflows of (i) $701 million related
to incremental payments made on securitized vacation ownership
debt, (ii) $476 million for our stock repurchase
program, (iii) $435 million of payments made to reduce
our revolving credit facility balance, (iv) our repayment
of the outstanding balance of $73 million of vacation
rentals bank borrowings and (v) $50 million of less
proceeds from borrowings on our vacation ownership asset-linked
debt, which was eliminated by our former Parent in July 2006 and
(vi) $4 million of additional payments made on
vacation rentals capital leases. Such cash outflows were
partially offset by (i) incremental proceeds of
$961 million received from additional securitized vacation
ownership debt, including $600 million from our series of
secured notes payable entered into in May 2007 and
$155 million from our premium yield facility entered into
in February 2007, (ii) $650 million of proceeds
from borrowings on our revolving credit facility and
(iii) $18 million of additional proceeds from our
vacation ownership bank borrowings.
We intend to continue to invest in capital improvements,
technological improvements in our lodging business and the
development of our vacation ownership, vacation rentals 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 $185 to $230 million on capital expenditures
in 2007 including the improvement of technology and maintenance
of technological advantages, routine improvements and
information technology infrastructure enhancements resulting
from our separation from Cendant. We also anticipate spending
approximately $650 to $750 million relating to vacation
ownership development projects in 2007. The majority of the
expenditures required to complete our capital spending programs
and vacation ownership development projects will be financed
with cash flow generated through operations. Additional
expenditures will be financed with general unsecured corporate
borrowings, including through the use of available capacity
under our $900 million revolving credit facility.
On February 13, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized a
stock repurchase program that enabled us to purchase up to
$400 million of our common stock. The Board of
Directors authorization included increased repurchase
capacity for proceeds received from stock option exercises. We
substantially completed such program during June of 2007 with
11.7 million shares purchased at an average price of
$35.26. During the period July 1, 2007 through
August 8, 2007, we did not repurchase any shares. We
currently have $2 million remaining availability in our
program due to proceeds received from stock option exercises
during the period July 1, 2007 through August 8, 2007.

On February 12, 2007, we closed a securitization facility,
Premium Yield Facility
2007-A, in
the amount of $155 million, which bears interest at LIBOR
plus 43 basis points and an additional bond insurance fee
and matures in February 2020. As of June 30, 2007, we had
$155 million of outstanding borrowings under this facility.
On May 23, 2007, we closed an additional series of term
notes payable, Sierra Timeshare
2007-1
Receivables Funding, LLC, secured by vacation ownership contract
receivables in the initial principal amount of
$600 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. As of June 30, 2007, we had
$535 million of outstanding borrowings under this facility.

(a)
|
|
These outstanding borrowings are
collateralized by $2,288 million of underlying vacation
ownership contract receivables and related assets. The capacity
of our bank conduit facility is subject to our ability to
provide additional assets to collateralize such facility.
|
34
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
The capacity under our revolving
credit facility includes availability for letters of credit. As
of June 30, 2007, the available capacity of
$685 million was further reduced by $42 million for
the issuance of letters of credit.
|
(c)
|
|
These borrowings are collateralized
by $151 million of underlying vacation ownership contract
receivables. The capacity of this facility is subject to
maintaining sufficient assets to collateralize these secured
obligations.
|
(d)
|
|
These leases are recorded as
capital lease obligations with corresponding assets classified
within property and equipment on the Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet.
|
The revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan 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 11 to the Condensed Consolidated and Combined
Financial Statements) by Interest Expense (as defined in the
credit agreement), excluding interest expense on any
Securitization 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 these credit facilities also
include limitations on indebtedness of material subsidiaries;
liens; mergers, consolidations, liquidations, dissolutions and
sales of all or substantially all assets; and sale and
leasebacks. Events of default in these 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).
The 6.00% senior unsecured notes contain various covenants
including limitations on liens, limitations on sale and
leasebacks, and change of control restrictions. In addition,
there are limitations on mergers, consolidations and sales of
all or substantially all assets. Events of default in the notes
include nonpayment of interest, nonpayment of principal, breach
of a covenant or warranty, cross acceleration of debt in excess
of $50 million, and bankruptcy related matters.
As of June 30, 2007, we were in compliance with all of the
covenants described above 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 and their continuing
interest in extending such credit.
Our senior unsecured debt is 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 net revenues and net
income from our franchise and management fees, commission income
earned from renting vacation properties, annual subscription
fees or annual membership dues, as applicable, and exchange
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.

Separation
Adjustments and Transactions with Former Parent and
Subsidiaries
Transfer
of Cendant Corporate Liabilities and Issuance of Guarantees to
Cendant and Affiliates
Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, upon the
distribution of our common stock to Cendant shareholders, we
entered into certain guarantee commitments with Cendant
(pursuant to the assumption of certain liabilities and the
obligation to indemnify Cendant, Realogy and Travelport for such
liabilities) and guarantee commitments related to deferred
compensation arrangements with each of Cendant and Realogy.
These guarantee arrangements primarily relate to certain
contingent litigation liabilities, contingent tax liabilities,
and Cendant contingent and other corporate liabilities, of which
we assumed and are responsible for 37.5% of these Cendant
liabilities. The amount of liabilities which we assumed in
connection with the Separation approximated $373 million
and $434 million at June 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, respectively. These amounts were
comprised of certain Cendant Corporate liabilities which were
recorded on the books of Cendant as well as additional
liabilities which were established for guarantees issued at the
date of Separation related to certain unresolved contingent
matters and certain others that could arise during the guarantee
period. Regarding the guarantees, if any of the companies
responsible for all or a portion of such liabilities were to
default in its payment of costs or expenses related to any such
liability, we would be responsible for a portion of the
defaulting party or parties obligation. We also provided a
default guarantee related to certain deferred compensation
arrangements related to certain current and former senior
officers and directors of Cendant, Realogy and Travelport. These
arrangements, which are discussed in more detail below, have
been valued upon our 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 $373 million is comprised of $16 million for
litigation matters, $236 million for tax liabilities,
$99 million for other contingent and corporate liabilities
including liabilities of previously sold businesses of Cendant
and $22 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 $19 million of the $22 million pertain to
litigation liabilities). Of these liabilities, $113 million
are recorded in current due to former Parent and subsidiaries
and $240 million are recorded in long-term due to former
Parent and subsidiaries at June 30, 2007 on the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet. We are indemnifying Cendant for
these contingent liabilities and therefore any payments would be
made to the third party through the former Parent. The
$22 million relating to the FIN 45 guarantees is
recorded in other current liabilities at June 30, 2007 on
the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition, we have a
$31 million receivable due from former Parent relating to a
refund of excess funding paid to our 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 Balance Sheet. At December 31, 2006, we had
recorded a $37 million receivable in non-current due from
former Parent and subsidiaries on the Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet, which represented our right, pursuant to the
Separation agreement, to receive 37.5% of any proceeds from the
ultimate sale of Cendants preferred stock investment in
and warrants of Affinion Group Holdings, Inc.
(Affinion). On January 31, 2007, Affinion
redeemed a portion of the preferred stock investment owned by
Avis Budget Group, of which we owned a 37.5% interest pursuant
to the Separation agreement. Upon our receipt of our share of
the proceeds resulting from Affinions redemption, such
receivable was reduced to $10 million. As of March 31,
2007, the $10 million receivable was reclassified to other
non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets
as the investment had been legally transferred to us from Avis
Budget Group. Such amount was $10 million as of
June 30, 2007. Accordingly, we own a preferred stock
investment and warrants in Affinion and account for them in
accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.
Following is a discussion of the liabilities on which we issued
guarantees:
|
|
|
|
|
Contingent litigation liabilities We have assumed 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. During the six months ended
June 30, 2007, Cendant settled a number of these lawsuits
and we assumed a portion of the related indemnification
obligations. As discussed above, for each settlement, we paid
37.5% of the aggregate settlement amount to Cendant. Our payment
obligations under the settlements were greater or less than our
accruals, depending on the matter. As a result of these
settlements and payments to Cendant, as well as other
reductions, our aggregate accrual for
|
36
|
|
|
|
|
outstanding Cendant contingent litigation liabilities was
reduced from $40 million at December 31, 2006 to
$16 million at June 30, 2007.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Contingent tax liabilities We are 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. Our 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 has 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. Our
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. We 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 and six
months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded $3 million and
$9 million, respectively, of expenses in the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income related to these agreements.
Separation
and Related Costs
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we
incurred costs of $7 million and $13 million,
respectively, in connection with executing the Separation. Such
costs consisted primarily of expenses related to the rebranding
initiative at our vacation ownership business and certain
transitional expenses. During the three and six months ended
June 30, 2006, we incurred costs of $5 million and
$8 million, respectively, in connection with executing the
Separation, consisting primarily of consulting and legal
services and the acceleration of vesting of employee incentive
awards.

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 Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements
included in the Annual Report filed on
Form 10-K
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7,
2007, 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
June 30, 2007 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.

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.
After the April 15, 1998 announcement of the discovery of
accounting irregularities in the former CUC business units, and
prior to the filing of this report, 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. Three 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 former
officers and directors of Cendant, CUC and HFS Incorporated; and
Ernst & Young LLP, 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. This case is scheduled for
trial on March 4, 2008.
Cendant Tax Audit. The IRS has opened an
examination for Cendants taxable years 2003 through 2006
during which we were included in Cendants tax returns.
Although we and Cendant believe there is appropriate support for
the positions
39
taken on its tax returns, we and Cendant have recorded
liabilities representing the best estimates of the probable loss
on certain positions. We and Cendant believe that the accruals
for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years, based on
assessment of many factors including past experience and
interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter.
Although we and Cendant believe the recorded assets and
liabilities are reasonable, tax regulations are subject to
interpretation and tax litigation is inherently uncertain;
therefore, our and Cendants assessments can involve both a
series of complex judgments about future events and rely heavily
on estimates and assumptions. While we and Cendant believe that
the estimates and assumptions supporting the assessments are
reasonable, the final determination of tax audits and any other
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.
Item 1A. Risk
Factors.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report,
you should carefully consider the factors discussed under
Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A in our
Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006. These factors could
materially affect our business, financial condition and results
of operations. The risks described in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K
are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and
uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently
deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

On February 13, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors
authorized a stock repurchase program that enables the Company
to purchase up to $400 million of its common stock. The
Board of Directors authorization included increased
repurchase capacity for proceeds received from stock option
exercises. During the three months ended June 30, 2007,
repurchase capacity increased $7 million from proceeds
received from stock option exercises, partially offset by
$3 million of costs associated with privately negotiated
transactions. The Company substantially completed such program
during June of 2007 with 11.7 million shares purchased at
an average price of $35.26. During the period July 1, 2007
through August 8, 2007, the Company did not repurchase any
shares. The Company currently has $2 million remaining
availability in its program due to proceeds received from stock
option exercises during the period July 1, 2007 through
August 8, 2007.
