Wyndham Worldwide Reports Third Quarter 2017 Results

 

Record Revenues Helped Drive EPS Growth

 

Company Adds $1.0 Billion to its Share Repurchase Authorization

 

 

PARSIPPANY, N.J. (October 25, 2017) – Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (NYSE:WYN) today announced results for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The Company’s results were in line with its prior expectations despite recent hurricanes negatively impacting the Company’s operations.

 

THIRD QUARTER 2017 OPERATING RESULTS

Third quarter revenues were $1.6 billion, up 4% compared with the prior-year period. Full reconciliations of GAAP results to non-GAAP measures for all reported periods appear in the tables to this press release.

 

Net income in the third quarter of 2017 was $203 million compared with $196 million for the third quarter of 2016. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) increased 11% to $1.97, versus $1.78 in the prior-year period.

 

Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2017 was $209 million or $2.03 per diluted share, compared with $207 million or $1.89 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2016. Adjusted results exclude restructuring and separation costs and other items as detailed in Tables 7 and 8 of this press release. Third quarter earnings benefited from the growth in revenues, partially offset by higher year-over-year interest, depreciation and variable compensation expenses along with the impact of Hurricanes Irma and Maria. The increase in adjusted diluted EPS also reflects the benefit of the Company’s share repurchase program.

 

Third quarter EBITDA was $422 million, compared with $402 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA was $436 million, compared with $423 million in the third quarter of 2016. Results primarily reflect the growth in revenues, partially offset by higher variable compensation expenses and the hurricane impacts.

 

Weather events in the third quarter had an unusually pronounced effect on operating results. In particular, the Company estimates that the third quarter hurricanes reduced revenues, net income and EBITDA by $13 million, $6 million, and $9 million, respectively. The reductions primarily reflect the temporary closure of vacation ownership sales centers in the Caribbean and Florida, the closure of portions of the Company’s Wyndham Rio Mar hotel in Puerto Rico, and reduced timeshare exchanges due to travel disruptions. Two of the Company’s vacation ownership sales centers in the Caribbean remain closed.

 

 

 

 

“Our team’s sharp focus on executing against our strategic and operating plans allowed us to deliver solid growth in line with our prior projections,” said Stephen P. Holmes, chairman and CEO. “While the barrage of recent hurricanes negatively impacted our results, our efforts to drive revenue and control costs successfully mitigated their impact in the quarter. I am especially proud of how our employees and affiliates in affected areas have served our guests throughout a difficult period.

 

“Despite the weather-related challenges in the quarter, we generated a strong increase in new timeshare owners and year-over-year growth in our earnings per share. We have also strengthened our presence in the midscale hotel segment with the addition of the AmericInn brand and its 200 franchised hotels in October. Furthermore, we have increased our share repurchase authorization to reflect our continued focus on returning cash to shareholders, and we are working tirelessly to execute our previously announced separation into two publicly-traded companies,” Mr. Holmes added.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash provided by operating activities was $666 million, compared with $786 million in the prior-year period. The decrease primarily reflects timing differences and additions to the Company’s vacation ownership receivables portfolio.

 

Free cash flow was $541 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $650 million for the same period in 2016, primarily reflecting the changes in net cash provided by operating activities. The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.

 

THIRD QUARTER 2017 BUSINESS UNIT RESULTS

 

Hotel Group

Revenues were $368 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared with $364 million in the third quarter of 2016. Results reflect 9% higher royalties and franchise fees, as well as increased other revenue due to growth in the Wyndham Rewards credit card program. In addition, results reflected the absence in 2017 of $13 million of global franchisee conference revenues, which are “pass-through” revenues that were fully offset by reduced expenses.

 

EBITDA was $121 million in the third quarter compared with $107 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $122 million compared with $117 million in the prior-year period, an increase of 4%, primarily reflecting the growth in revenues.

 

Third quarter domestic same-store RevPAR increased 2.3% compared with third quarter 2016. In constant currency, global same-store RevPAR increased 3.3%.

 

As of September 30, 2017, the Company’s hotel system consisted of over 8,100 properties and over 708,500 rooms, a 3% increase compared with the third quarter of 2016. The development pipeline increased to nearly 1,190 hotels and over 146,900 rooms, a 10% year-over-year room increase, of which 57% are international and 68% are new construction. In addition, we are adding almost 12,000 rooms to our system with the acquisition of AmericInn that we completed in October.

 

 

 

 

Destination Network

Revenues were $511 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared with $486 million in the third quarter of 2016, an increase of 5%. In constant currency and excluding acquisitions, revenues increased 2%.

 

Vacation rental revenues were $327 million compared with $304 million in the prior-year quarter. In constant currency and excluding acquisitions, vacation rental revenues increased 3%, reflecting a 2% increase in transaction volume and a 1% increase in the average net price per rental.

 

Exchange revenues were $158 million, a decline of 1% compared with the prior-year quarter, reflecting the adverse impact of the hurricanes. Exchange revenue per member increased 1% and the average number of members declined 2%.

 

EBITDA was $154 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared with $138 million in the third quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA was $150 million compared with $142 million in the prior-year quarter, an increase of 6%, reflecting increased vacation rental volumes and favorable foreign currency movements, partially offset by the adverse impact of the hurricanes.

 

Vacation Ownership

Revenues were $773 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared with $744 million in the third quarter of 2016, an increase of 4%. The increase reflects a 7% increase in gross VOI sales as well as higher consumer financing revenues, even though the third quarter hurricanes negatively impacted VOI sales.

 

Tour flow increased 7%, driven by increased tours to new owners. Volume per guest (VPG) declined 1%, primarily reflecting a 16% increase in sales in North America to new owners, which produce a lower VPG.

 

EBITDA was $190 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared with $189 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $190 million compared with $195 million in the prior-year quarter, a decline of 3%. Results reflect higher gross VOI sales and consumer financing revenue, offset by a higher provision for loan losses and increased variable compensation expenses.

 

OTHER ITEMS

 

·The Company repurchased 1.5 million shares of common stock for $150 million during the third quarter of 2017 at an average price of $101.18. From October 1 through October 24, 2017, the Company repurchased an additional 0.3 million shares for $34 million.
·The Company’s Board of Directors approved a $1.0 billion increase in the share repurchase authorization. Including the increase, the Company’s remaining share repurchase authorization totals $1.3 billion as of October 24, 2017.
·Net interest expense in the third quarter of 2017 was $40 million compared with $32 million in the third quarter of 2016, reflecting higher corporate debt levels.

 

 

 

 

·Depreciation and amortization in the third quarter of 2017 was $69 million, compared with $63 million in the third quarter of 2016, as additional long-term capital projects came into service, strengthening the Company’s technology capabilities.
·As previously announced, the Company plans to become two publicly-traded hospitality companies through the spin-off of the Company’s Hotel Group to shareholders. The process is proceeding as planned, and the Company expects to complete the separation in the second quarter of 2018, although there can be no assurance regarding the timing of the separation or that the separation will ultimately occur. The Company is also continuing to explore strategic alternatives for its European vacation rentals business.
·The Company completed the acquisition of AmericInn on October 2, adding 200 franchised properties with nearly 12,000 rooms to the Company’s midscale hotel portfolio. The net purchase price was $142 million, which included a simultaneous sale of ten owned hotels to an unrelated third party for $28 million.

 

Balance Sheet Information as of September 30, 2017:

·Cash and cash equivalents were $289 million, compared with $185 million at December 31, 2016.
·Vacation ownership contract receivables, net totaled $2.9 billion, compared with $2.8 billion at December 31, 2016.
·Vacation ownership and other inventory was $1.3 billion, compared with $1.4 billion at December 31, 2016.
·Securitized vacation ownership debt was $2.0 billion, compared with $2.1 billion at December 31, 2016.
·Long-term debt totaled $3.9 billion, compared with $3.4 billion at December 31, 2016. The increase in debt reflects higher vacation ownership contract receivables, higher VOI inventory, lower securitized borrowings and an increase in the Company’s cash balance. The remaining borrowing capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility, net of commercial paper borrowings, was $0.9 billion as of September 30, 2017, compared with $1.1 billion at December 31, 2016.

 

A schedule of debt is included in Table 12 of this press release.

 

OUTLOOK

 

Note to Editors: The outlook below excludes possible future share repurchases, while analysts’ estimates often include projected share repurchases. This results in discrepancies between the Company’s projections and database consensus forecasts.

 

The Company has updated the following projections for the full year 2017 to reflect the financial effects of the recent weather events on both our third quarter and fourth quarter results:

·Revenues of $5.80 billion to $5.85 billion.
·Adjusted net income of $618 million to $628 million.
·Adjusted EBITDA of $1.380 billion to $1.395 billion.
·Adjusted diluted EPS to $5.95 to $6.05, based on a diluted share count of 103.9 million.

 

 

 

 

The third quarter weather events will affect the Company’s fourth quarter results, particularly in its Vacation Ownership and Hotel Group segments. The Company estimates the weather events will reduce fourth quarter revenues by $20 to $30 million, net income by $9 to $15 million, and EBITDA by $15 to $23 million. For the full year, the Company estimates the weather events will reduce revenues by $33 to $43 million, net income by $15 to $21 million and EBITDA by $24 to $32 million. While the Company’s business interruption insurance may ultimately offset a portion of these effects, any such insurance recoveries are unlikely to be realized in 2017.

 

In determining adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS, the Company excludes certain items which are otherwise included in determining the comparable GAAP financial measures. A description of the adjustments that have been applicable for the reported periods in determining adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS are reflected in Tables 7 and 8 of this press release. The Company is providing an outlook for net income, EBITDA and EPS only on a non-GAAP basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the totality or ultimate outcome or occurrence of these adjustments or other potential adjustments that may arise in the future during the outlook period, which can be dependent on future events that may not be reliably predicted. See Table 10 for certain non-GAAP information concerning the outlook period.

 

The Company will post more detailed projections on its website following the conference call.

OPERATING RESULTS OF REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

(In millions)

 

In addition to other measures, management evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable segments based upon net revenues and “EBITDA”, which is defined as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense (excluding consumer financing interest), early extinguishment of debt, interest income (excluding consumer financing revenues) and income taxes, each of which is presented on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company also uses adjusted EBITDA as a financial measure of its operating performance. The Company believes that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are useful measures of assessing performance of the Company and for the Company's segments which, when considered with GAAP measures, give a more complete understanding of its operating performance and assist our investors in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for the current reporting period and, where provided, over different reporting periods, by adjusting for certain items which may be recurring or nonrecurring and which in our view do not necessarily reflect ongoing operating performance. We also internally use these measures to assess our operating performance, both in absolute terms and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions. These supplemental disclosures are in addition to GAAP reported measures. The Company’s presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

 

The following tables summarize net revenues and EBITDA for the Company's reportable segments, as well as reconcile Net income attributable to Wyndham shareholders to EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

OPERATING STATISTICS

 

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

 

Hotel Group

 

Number of Rooms: Represents the number of rooms at hotel group properties at the end of the period which are either (i) under franchise and/or management agreements, or company owned and (ii) properties under affiliation agreements for which the Company receives a fee for reservation and/or other services provided.

 

Average Occupancy Rate: Represents the percentage of available rooms occupied during the period.

 

Average Daily Rate (ADR): Represents the average rate charged for renting a lodging room for one day.

 

RevPAR: Represents revenue per available room and is calculated by multiplying average occupancy rate by ADR. Comparable RevPAR represents RevPAR of hotels which are included in both periods.

 

Destination Network

 

Average Number of Members: Represents members in our vacation exchange programs who paid annual membership dues as of the end of the period or who are within the allowed grace period. For additional fees, such participants are entitled to exchange intervals for intervals at other properties affiliated with the Company's vacation exchange business. In addition, certain participants may exchange intervals for other leisure-related services and products.

 

Exchange Revenue Per Member: Represents total annualized revenues generated from fees associated with memberships, exchange transactions, member-related rentals and other servicing for the period divided by the average number of vacation exchange members during the period.

 

Vacation Rental Transactions: Represents the number of transactions that are generated in connection with customers booking their vacation rental stays through one of our vacation brands. One rental transaction is recorded for each standard one-week rental.

 

Average Net Price Per Vacation Rental: Represents the net rental price generated from renting vacation properties to customers and other related rental servicing fees divided by the number of vacation rental transactions.

 

Vacation Ownership

 

Gross Vacation Ownership Interest Sales: Represents sales of vacation ownership interest (VOIs), including WAAM sales, before the net effect of percentage-of-completion accounting and loan loss provisions. We believe gross VOI sales provide an enhanced understanding of the performance of our vacation ownership business because it directly measures the sales volume of this business during a given reporting period. See Table 9 for a reconciliation of Gross VOI sales to vacation ownership interest sales.

 

Tours: Represents the number of tours taken by guests in our efforts to sell VOIs.

 

Volume per Guest (VPG): Represents Gross VOI sales (excluding tele-sales upgrades, which are non-tour upgrade sales) divided by the number of tours. The Company has excluded non-tour upgrade sales in the calculation of VPG because non-tour upgrade sales are generated by a different marketing channel. See Table 9 for a detail of tele-sales upgrades for 2014-2017.

 

General

 

Constant Currency: Represents a comparison eliminating the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations between periods (foreign currency translation).

 

Currency-Neutral: Represents a comparison eliminating the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations between periods (foreign currency translation) and the impact caused by any foreign exchange related activities (i.e., hedges, balance sheet remeasurements and/or adjustments).

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS AND RECONCILIATION OF FREE CASH FLOWS

(In millions)

(Unaudited)

 

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

 

   Nine Months Ended September 30, 
   2017   2016 
Net cash provided by operating activities  $666   $786 
           
Net cash used in investing activities   (171)   (172)
           
Net cash used in financing activities   (404)   (442)
           
Effect of changes in exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents   13    (11)
           
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents  $104   $161 

 

Free Cash Flow:

 

We define free cash flow to be net cash provided by operating activities less property and equipment additions which we also refer to as capital expenditures.

 

We believe free cash flow to be a useful operating performance measure to evaluate the ability of our operations to generate cash for uses other than capital expenditures and, after debt service and other obligations, our ability to grow our business through acquisitions, development advances and equity investments, as well as our ability to return cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. A limitation of using free cash flow versus the GAAP measures of net cash provided by operating activities, net cash used in investing activities and net cash used in financing activities as a means for evaluating Wyndham Worldwide is that free cash flow does not represent the total cash movement for the period as detailed in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

 

The following table provides more details on the GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measure and the related reconciliation between these financial measures:

 

   Nine Months Ended September 30, 
   2017   2016 
Net cash provided by operating activities  $666   $786 
Less: Property and equipment additions   (125)   (136)
Free cash flow  $541   $650

(*)Excludes share-based compensation expenses for which there was no impact on adjusted EBITDA. Such costs amounted to $1 million during Q1, Q2, and Q3 2017. During 2016, such costs amounted to $1 million during Q1, Q2 and Q3, and $4 million during Q4 and $7 million for the full year. The Company believes providing adjusted EBITDA with the additional exclusion of share-based compensation expense assists our investors and management by providing an additional financial measure to evaluate ongoing operations by excluding the variations among companies in timing, amount and reporting of share-based compensation expense, which may differ significantly among companies.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION OF GROSS VOI SALES

(In millions)

 

GROSS VOI SALES

 

We believe gross vacation ownership sales provide an enhanced understanding of the performance of our vacation ownership business because it directly measures the sales volume of this business during a given reporting period.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of Gross VOI sales (see Table 3) to vacation ownership interest sales (see Table 5):

In determining adjusted EBITDA, adjusted Net Income and adjusted EPS, the Company excludes certain items which are otherwise included in determining the comparable GAAP financial measures. A description of the adjustments which have been applicable in determining adjusted EBITDA, adjusted Net Income and adjusted EPS is included in Tables 7 and 8. The Company is providing outlook on a non-GAAP basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the totality or ultimate outcome or occurrence of potential adjustments for the forward-looking period, which can be dependent on future events that may not be reliably predicted, such as separation costs, acquisitions, legacy expenses, restructuring events, asset impairments, contract terminations, currency devaluations, or early extinguishment of debt instruments. Based on past reported results, where one or more of these items have been applicable, such excluded special items could be material, individually or in the aggregate, to the reported results. See Tables 7 and 8 for historical adjustments.

 

(a)Outlook represents Company's approximate projection of performance for the outlook period. Projections may not total because the Company does not expect the actual results of all items to be at the precise amount simultaneously.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION - CONSTANT CURRENCY, CURRENCY NEUTRAL AND ACQUISITIONS

(In millions, except per share data)

 

The Company reports certain current year period financial measures on a constant currency and currency-neutral basis and excluding the impact of acquisitions. The Company believes providing certain financial measures on a constant currency and currency-neutral basis as well as excluding the impact of acquisitions assists management and investors in better understanding underlying results and trends by excluding the impact of period over period changes in foreign exchange rates and changes resulting from acquisitions.

 

Constant currency results assume foreign results are translated from foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar at exchange rates consistent with those in the comparable period.

 

Currency Neutral results (i) assume foreign results are translated from foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar at exchange rates consistent with those in the comparable period and (ii) eliminating foreign exchange related activities such as foreign exchange hedges, balance sheet remeasurements, currency devaluations and/or other adjustments.

 

Acquisition results are defined as the incremental period over period changes in the Company's results directly attributable to acquisitions.

(a)The Company's vacation ownership contract receivables are securitized through bankruptcy-remote special purpose entities ("SPEs") that are consolidated within our financial statements. These bankruptcy-remote SPEs are legally separate from the Company. The receivables held by the bankruptcy-remote SPEs are not available to the Company's creditors and legally are not the Company's assets. Additionally, the non-recourse debt that is securitized through the SPEs is legally not a liability of the Company and thus, the creditors of these SPEs have no recourse to the Company for principal and interest.
(b)Represents a non-recourse vacation ownership bank conduit facility with borrowing capability through August 2018 and a borrowing capacity of $650 million. As of September 30, 2017, this facility had a remaining borrowing capacity of $68 million. Borrowings under this facility are required to be repaid as the collateralized receivables amortize.
(c)This debt is collateralized by $2,614 million, $2,601 million and $2,560 million, of underlying vacation ownership contract receivables and related assets as of September 30 2017, December 31, 2016, and September 30, 2016, respectively.
(d)Represents a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility that expires in July 2020. As of September 30 2017, the Company had $1 million of outstanding letters of credit. After considering outstanding commercial paper borrowings of $100 million, the remaining borrowing capacity was $0.9 billion as of September 30, 2017.
(e)Represents commercial paper programs of $1.25 billion with a remaining borrowing capacity of $1.15 billion as of September 30, 2017.
(f)Classified as long-term as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016 as the Company had the intent to refinance such debt on a long-term basis and the ability to do so with its revolving credit facility.
(g)Classified as long-term as of September 30, 2017 as the Company has the intent to refinance such debt on a long-term basis and the ability to do so with its revolving credit facility.
