Wyndham Worldwide today issued a press release reporting that at its
investor day held today, Wyndham Worldwide reaffirmed 2008 revenue and EBITDA guidance ranges
and also provided 2008 earnings per share (EPS) guidance ranging
from $2.23 — $2.38 or a
double-digit percentage increase over 2007. “We are a stable and resilient business with a
portfolio of brands that lie in the sweet spot of consumer demand,” stated Stephen P. Holmes,
chairman and chief executive officer, Wyndham Worldwide. “Our company is benefiting from the growth
of leisure travel, the demographic growth of the baby boomer generation and the social shift of
families traveling together in order to spend quality time away from hectic lives,” added Holmes.
Wyndham Worldwide also issued first quarter 2008 EPS
guidance of $0.30 — $0.35, which reflects a
reduction for the estimated impact of deferred vacation ownership
revenue of $0.12 — $0.15 per
share that will be recognized in future quarters.
A copy of the company’s press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by
