PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Wyndham Worldwide Corporation

Parsippany, New Jersey

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 30, 2013, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of cash flows and equity for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. These interim consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's 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 consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 15, 2013, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unless otherwise noted, all amounts are in millions, except share and per share amounts)

(Unaudited)


1.	Basis of Presentation

Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (“Wyndham” or the “Company”) is a global provider of hospitality services and products. The accompanying Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated Financial Statements.

In presenting the Consolidated 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 management’s opinion, the Consolidated 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. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2012 Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2013.

Business Description

The Company operates in the following business segments:


•	Lodging—primarily franchises hotels in the upper upscale, upscale, upper midscale, midscale, economy and extended stay segments and provides hotel management services for full-service and select limited-service hotels.


•	Vacation Exchange and Rentals—provides vacation exchange services and products to owners of intervals of vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) and markets vacation rental properties primarily on behalf of independent owners.


•	Vacation Ownership—develops, markets and sells VOIs to individual consumers, provides consumer financing in connection with the sale of VOIs and provides property management services at resorts.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Comprehensive Income. In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance to improve the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). The guidance amends the presentation of changes in AOCI and requires an entity to disaggregate the total change of each component of other comprehensive income either on the face of the statement of income or as a separate disclosure in the notes. This guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2013, as required. There was no material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements resulting from the adoption.

Foreign Currency Matters. In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on a parent's accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. The guidance requires that the parent release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. This guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt the guidance on January 1, 2014, as required, and it believes the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents


2.	Earnings Per Share

The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on net income attributable to Wyndham shareholders divided by the basic weighted average number of common shares and diluted weighted average number of common shares, respectively.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS (in millions, except per share data):



	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
	September 30,					September 30,
	2013		2012			2013			2012
Net income attributable to Wyndham shareholders	$	187	$	159		$	346		$	320
Basic weighted average shares	131		141			134			145
Stock options, SSARs and RSUs ^(a)	2		2			2		^(d)	2
Warrants	—		1		^(c)	—			1		^(c)
Weighted average diluted shares ^(b)	133		144			136			148
Earnings per share:
Basic	$	1.42	$	1.13		$	2.58		$	2.20
Diluted	1.40		1.11			2.55			2.16


^(a)	Includes unvested dilutive restricted stock units (“RSUs”) which are subject to future forfeitures.


^(b)	Excludes 828,000 performance vested restricted stock units ("PSUs") for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and 607,000 PSUs for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, as the Company has not met the required performance metrics.


^(c)	Represents the dilutive effect of warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock related to the May 2009 issuance of the Company’s convertible notes.


^(d)	Excludes 69,000 stock-settled stock appreciation rights ("SSARs") for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to EPS.

Dividend Payments

During each of the quarterly periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2013, the Company paid cash dividends of $0.29 per share ($119 million in the aggregate). During each of the quarterly periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2012, the Company paid cash dividends of $0.23 per share ($102 million in the aggregate).

Stock Repurchase Program

The following table summarizes stock repurchase activity under the current stock repurchase program (in millions, except per share data):



	Shares	Cost		Average Price Per share
As of December 31, 2012	53.0	$	1,820	$	34.33
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013	7.9	475		59.84
As of September 30, 2013	60.9	$	2,295	37.65

The Company had $782 million of remaining availability in its program as of September 30, 2013.

Table of Contents


3.	Acquisitions

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations were recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the respective acquisition dates based upon their estimated fair values at such dates. The results of operations of businesses acquired by the Company have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Income since their respective dates of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill. In certain circumstances, the allocations of the excess purchase price are based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, the allocations may be subject to revision when the Company receives final information, including appraisals and other analyses. Any revisions to the fair values during the allocation period will be recorded by the Company as further adjustments to the purchase price allocations. Although, in certain circumstances, the Company has substantially integrated the operations of its acquired businesses, additional future costs relating to such integration may occur. These costs may result from integrating operating systems, relocating employees, closing facilities, reducing duplicative efforts and exiting and consolidating other activities. These costs will be recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Income as expenses.

Vacation Ownership NYC Property. During January 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party partner whereby the partner acquired the Alex hotel in New York City for $115 million through a special purpose entity ("SPE"). The Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the SPE and therefore the Company consolidates the SPE within its financial statements. The Company is managing and operating the hotel while the Company converts it into VOI inventory. The SPE's preliminary purchase price allocation for this hotel resulted in the recognition of $115 million of property and equipment, all of which was assigned to the Company's Vacation Ownership segment. Acquisition-related costs of $2 million are included in operating expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This SPE transaction is consistent with the Company's strategy to replenish VOI inventory utilizing its Wyndham Asset Affiliation Model. The consolidation of the SPE was not material to the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows (see Note 8 - Variable Interest Entities for more detailed information).


4.	Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consisted of:



	As of September 30, 2013						As of December 31, 2012
	Gross				Net		Gross				Net
	Carrying		Accumulated		Carrying		Carrying		Accumulated		Carrying

Credit Quality for Financed Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses

The basis of the differentiation within the identified class of financed VOI contract receivables is the consumer’s FICO score. A FICO score is a branded version of a consumer credit score widely used within the U.S. by the largest banks and lending institutions. FICO scores range from 300 – 850 and are calculated based on information obtained from one or more of the three major U.S. credit reporting agencies that compile and report on a consumer’s credit history. The Company updates its records for all active VOI contract receivables with a balance due on a rolling monthly basis so as to ensure that all VOI contract receivables are scored at least every six months. The Company groups all VOI contract receivables into five different categories: FICO scores ranging from 700 to 850, 600 to 699, Below 600, No Score (primarily comprised of consumers for whom a score is not readily available, including consumers declining access to FICO scores and non U.S. residents) and Asia Pacific (comprised of receivables in the Company’s Wyndham Vacation Resort Asia Pacific business for which scores are not readily available).

The following table details an aged analysis of financing receivables using the most recently updated FICO scores (based on the policy described above):



	As of September 30, 2013
	700+		600-699		<600		No Score		Asia Pacific		Total

The Company ceases to accrue interest on VOI contract receivables once the contract has remained delinquent for greater than 90 days. At greater than 120 days, the VOI contract receivable is written off to the allowance for loan losses. In accordance with its policy, the Company assesses the allowance for loan losses using a static pool methodology and thus does not assess individual loans for impairment separate from the pool.

Inventory Sale Transaction

During June 2013, the Company sold real property located in Las Vegas, Nevada, to a third party developer, consisting of $114 million of vacation ownership inventory and $3 million of property and equipment. Total consideration was $117 million, of which $87 million was cash and $30 million was a note receivable. The Company recognized no gain or loss on this transaction.

In accordance with the agreement with the third party developer, the Company has conditional rights and a conditional obligation to repurchase the completed property from the developer subject to the property meeting the Company's vacation ownership resort standards and provided that the third party developer has not sold the property to another party (see Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies for more detailed information). Under the sale of real estate accounting guidance, the conditional rights and obligation of the Company constitute continuing involvement and thus the Company was unable to account for this transaction as a sale. The property was sold to a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not control the entity's development activities and cannot prevent the entity from selling the property to another party. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate the VIE.

In connection with this transaction, the Company has an outstanding obligation of $118 million and a note receivable of $31 million as of September 30, 2013, which are recorded within other non-current liabilities and other non-current assets, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Interest on the note receivable accrues at 3% per annum and is expected to be paid with the principal at maturity in December 2014. The $87 million of cash consideration received is included in proceeds from vacation ownership inventory arrangement in the financing section on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The note receivable and corresponding long-term obligation were non-cash and as such, are excluded from the Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

During March 2013, the Company closed a series of term notes payable, Sierra Timeshare 2013-1 Receivables Funding LLC, in the initial principal amount of $300 million at an advance rate of 91%. These borrowings bear interest at a weighted average coupon rate of 1.77% and are secured by vacation ownership contract receivables. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had $213 million of outstanding borrowings under these term notes.

Sierra Timeshare 2013-2 Receivables Funding, LLC.

Revolving Credit Facility. On May 22, 2013, the Company replaced its $1.0 billion revolving credit facility with a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility that expires on July 15, 2018. This facility is subject to a facility fee of 20 basis points based on total capacity and bears interest at LIBOR plus 130 basis points on outstanding borrowings.

The maturities of the commercial paper notes will vary, but may not exceed 366 days from the date of issue. The commercial paper notes are sold at a discount from par or will bear interest at a negotiated rate. While outstanding commercial paper borrowings generally have short-term maturities, the Company classifies the outstanding borrowings as long-term debt based on its intent and ability to refinance the outstanding borrowings on a long-term basis with its revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2012, the Company classified its outstanding commercial paper borrowings within current portion of long-term debt due to its inability to refinance, if necessary, the outstanding borrowings on a long-term basis due to restrictions contained in the prior revolving credit facility.

As a result of this extension, the Company classified the lease as a capital lease and recorded a capital lease obligation of $85 million with a corresponding capital lease asset which was recorded net of deferred rent. Such transaction was non-cash and as such, is excluded from both the investing and financing activities within the Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

The note accrues interest at 4.5% and the principal and interest are payable semi-annually, commencing on July 24, 2013. In addition, $9 million of mandatorily redeemable equity of the SPE is classified as long-term debt (see Note 8 - Variable Interest Entities for more detailed information).

8.	Variable Interest Entities

In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for the consolidation of VIEs, the Company analyzes its variable interests, including loans, guarantees, SPEs and equity investments to determine if an entity in which the Company has a variable interest is a VIE. If the entity is considered to be a VIE, the Company determines whether it would be considered the entity’s primary beneficiary. The Company consolidates into its financial statements those VIEs for which it has determined that it is the primary beneficiary.

Vacation Ownership Contract Receivables Securitizations

The Company pools qualifying vacation ownership contract receivables and sells them to bankruptcy-remote entities. Vacation ownership contract receivables qualify for securitization based primarily on the credit strength of the VOI purchaser to whom financing has been extended. Vacation ownership contract receivables are securitized through bankruptcy-remote SPEs that are consolidated within the Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result, the Company does not recognize gains or losses resulting from these securitizations at the time of sale to the SPEs. Interest income is recognized when earned over the contractual life of the vacation ownership contract receivables. The Company services the securitized vacation ownership contract receivables pursuant to servicing agreements negotiated on an arms-length basis based on market conditions. The activities of these SPEs are limited to (i) purchasing vacation ownership contract receivables from the Company’s vacation ownership subsidiaries; (ii) issuing debt securities and/or borrowing under a conduit facility to fund such purchases; and (iii) entering into derivatives to hedge interest rate exposure. The bankruptcy-remote SPEs are legally separate from the Company. The receivables held by the bankruptcy-remote SPEs are not available to creditors of the Company and legally are not assets of the Company. Additionally, the creditors of these SPEs have no recourse to the Company for principal and interest.

Vacation Ownership NYC Property

During January 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party partner whereby the partner acquired the Alex hotel in New York City through an SPE. The Company is managing and operating the hotel while the Company converts it into VOI inventory. The SPE financed the hotel acquisition and planned renovations with a $115 million four-year mortgage note and $9 million of mandatorily redeemable equity provided by related parties of such partner. The Company has committed to purchase such VOI inventory from the SPE over a four year period in the amount of $146 million, of which $124 million will be used to repay the four-year mortgage note and the mandatorily redeemable equity of the SPE. The Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the SPE and therefore the Company consolidated the SPE within its financial statements.

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value driver is observable.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs used when little or no market data is available.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls has been determined based on the lowest level input (closest to Level 3) that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes information regarding assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:



	As of						As of
	September 30, 2013						December 31, 2012

^(a)	Included in other current assets ($5 million and $1 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively) and other non-current assets ($2 million as of both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets; carrying value is equal to estimated fair value.


^(b)	Included in other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets; carrying value is equal to estimated fair value.


^(c)	Included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities ($1 million as of both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012) and other non-current liabilities ($2 million and $3 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets; carrying value is equal to estimated fair value.

The Company’s derivative instruments primarily consist of pay-fixed/receive-variable interest rate swaps, pay-variable/receive-fixed interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign exchange average rate forward contracts. For assets and liabilities that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, the fair value is the published market price per unit multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. Assets and liabilities that are measured using other significant observable inputs are valued by reference to similar assets and liabilities. For these items, a significant portion of fair value is derived by reference to quoted prices of similar assets and liabilities in active markets. For assets and liabilities that are measured using significant unobservable inputs, fair value is primarily derived using a fair value model, such as a discounted cash flow model.

The fair value of financial instruments is generally determined by reference to market values resulting from trading on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques, as appropriate. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of all other financial instruments are as follows:



	September 30, 2013				December 31, 2012
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Assets
Vacation ownership contract receivables, net	$	2,755	$	3,326	$	2,889	$	3,391
Debt
Total debt	4,831		4,898		4,562		4,811

The Company estimates the fair value of its vacation ownership contract receivables using a discounted cash flow model which it believes is comparable to the model that an independent third party would use in the current market. The model uses Level 3 inputs consisting of default rates, prepayment rates, coupon rates and loan terms for the contract receivables portfolio as key drivers of risk and relative value that, when applied in combination with pricing parameters, determines the fair value of the underlying contract receivables.

Table of Contents

The Company estimates the fair value of its securitized vacation ownership debt by obtaining Level 2 inputs comprised of indicative bids from investment banks that actively issue and facilitate the secondary market for timeshare securities. The Company estimates the fair value of its other long-term debt, excluding capital leases, using Level 2 inputs based on indicative bids from investment banks and determines the fair value of its senior notes using quoted market prices (such senior notes are not actively traded).


10.	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company uses freestanding foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to manage its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its foreign currency denominated receivables, forecasted earnings of foreign subsidiaries and forecasted foreign currency denominated vendor payments. The amount of gains or losses the Company expects to reclassify from AOCI to earnings over the next 12 months is not material. The impact of the freestanding foreign currency forward contracts resulted in a gain of $8 million and $6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and such gains were included in operating expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The impact of the freestanding foreign currency forward contracts was not material to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Interest Rate Risk

A portion of the debt used to finance the Company’s operations is exposed to interest rate fluctuations. The Company uses various hedging strategies and derivative financial instruments to create a desired mix of fixed and floating rate assets and liabilities. Derivative instruments currently used in these hedging strategies include swaps and interest rate caps. The derivatives used to manage the risk associated with the Company’s floating rate debt include freestanding derivatives and derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. The Company also uses swaps to convert specific fixed-rate debt into variable-rate debt (i.e., fair value hedges) to manage the overall interest cost. For relationships designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded in income with offsetting adjustments to the carrying amount of the hedged debt. The amount of losses that the Company expects to reclassify from AOCI to earnings during the next 12 months is not material. The impact of the freestanding derivatives was not material to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Gains or losses recognized in AOCI for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were not material.


11.	Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years prior to 2008. In addition, with few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years prior to 2004.

The Company’s effective tax rate declined from 37.9% during the three months ended September 30, 2012 to 36.8% during the three months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to the release of a reserve resulting from the expiration of certain statutes of limitation.

The Company’s effective tax rate declined from 37.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to 36.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The Company made cash income tax payments, net of refunds, of $134 million and $105 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

12.	Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in claims, legal and regulatory proceedings and governmental inquiries related to the Company’s business.

Wyndham Worldwide Corporation Litigation

The Company is involved in claims, legal and regulatory proceedings and governmental inquiries arising in the ordinary course of its business including but not limited to: for its lodging business-breach of contract, fraud and bad faith claims between franchisors and franchisees in connection with franchise agreements and with owners in connection with management contracts, negligence, breach of contract, fraud, employment, consumer protection and other statutory claims asserted in connection with alleged acts or occurrences at owned, franchised or managed properties or in relation to guest reservations and bookings; for its vacation exchange and rentals business-breach of contract, fraud and bad faith claims by affiliates and customers in connection with their respective agreements, negligence, breach of contract, fraud, consumer protection and other statutory claims asserted by members and guests for alleged injuries sustained at affiliated resorts and vacation rental properties and consumer protection and other statutory claims asserted by consumers; for its vacation ownership business-breach of contract, bad faith, conflict of interest, fraud, consumer protection and other statutory claims by property owners' associations, owners and prospective owners in connection with the sale or use of VOIs or land, or the management of vacation ownership resorts, construction defect claims relating to vacation ownership units or resorts, and negligence, breach of contract, fraud, consumer protection and other statutory claims by guests for alleged injuries sustained at vacation ownership units or resorts; and for each of its businesses, bankruptcy proceedings involving efforts to collect receivables from a debtor in bankruptcy, employment matters which may include claims of retaliation, discrimination, harassment and wage and hour claims, claims of infringement upon third parties' intellectual property rights, claims relating to information security, privacy and consumer protection, tax claims and environmental claims.

On June 26, 2012, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court for the District of Arizona against the Company and its subsidiaries, Wyndham Hotel Group, LLC, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Inc. and Wyndham Hotel Management Inc., alleging unfairness and deception-based violations of Section 5 of the FTC Act in connection with three prior data breach incidents involving a group of Wyndham brand hotels. The Company disputes the allegations in the lawsuit and is defending this lawsuit vigorously. The Company does not believe that the data breach incidents were material, nor does it expect that the outcome of the FTC litigation will have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. On March 26, 2013, the Company's motion to transfer venue of the lawsuit from Arizona to the Federal District Court for the District of New Jersey was granted. The Company has filed motions to dismiss the FTC's lawsuit, which are pending before the court. The Company is unable at this time to estimate any loss or range of reasonably possible loss.

The Company records an accrual for legal contingencies when it determines, after consultation with outside counsel, that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In making such determinations, the Company evaluates, among other things, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, the Company's ability to make a reasonable estimate of loss. The Company reviews these accruals each reporting period and makes revisions based on changes in facts and circumstances including changes to its strategy in dealing with these matters.

The Company believes that it has adequately accrued for such matters with reserves of $32 million and $42 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Such reserve is exclusive of matters relating to the Company’s separation. For matters not requiring accrual, the Company believes that such matters will not have a material 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 results could occur. As such, an adverse outcome from such proceedings for which claims are awarded in excess of the amounts accrued, if any, could be material to the Company with respect to earnings and/or cash flows in any given reporting period. As of September 30, 2013, the potential exposure resulting from adverse outcomes of such legal proceedings could, in the aggregate, range up to approximately $13 million in excess of recorded accruals. However, the Company does not believe that the impact of such litigation should result in a material liability to the Company in relation to its consolidated financial position or liquidity.

Other Guarantees/Indemnifications

Lodging

From time to time, the Company may enter into a hotel management agreement that provides the hotel owner with a guarantee of a certain level of profitability based upon various metrics. Under such an agreement, the Company would be required to compensate such hotel owner for any profitability shortfall over the life of the management agreement up to a specified aggregate amount. For certain agreements, the Company may be able to recapture all or a portion of the shortfall payments in the event that future operating results exceed targets. The terms of such guarantees generally range from 7 to 10 years and certain agreements may provide for early termination provisions under certain circumstances. As of September 30, 2013, the maximum potential amount of future payments that may be made under these guarantees was $136 million with a combined annual cap of $39 million.

In connection with such performance guarantees, as of September 30, 2013, the Company maintained a liability of $39 million, of which $36 million was included in other non-current liabilities and $3 million was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of September 30, 2013, the Company also had a corresponding $44 million asset related to these guarantees, of which $40 million was included in other non-current assets and $4 million was included in other current assets on its Consolidated Balance Sheet. Such assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the agreements. The amortization expense for the performance guarantees noted above was $1 million and $2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

Under such performance guarantees, the Company also had receivables of $18 million and $5 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, resulting from payments made to date which are subject to recapture and which the Company believes will be recoverable from future operating performance. Such receivables were included in other non-current assets on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Vacation Ownership

The Company guarantees its vacation ownership subsidiary's obligation to repurchase completed property in Las Vegas, Nevada from a third party developer subject to the property meeting the Company's vacation ownership resort standards and provided that the third party developer has not sold the property to another party. The maximum potential future payments that the Company could be required to make under this commitment was $309 million as of September 30, 2013.

Cendant Litigation

Under the Separation agreement, the Company agreed to be responsible for 37.5% of certain of Cendant’s contingent and other corporate liabilities and associated costs, including certain contingent litigation. Since the Separation, Cendant settled the majority of the lawsuits pending on the date of the Separation.

14.	Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan available to grant RSUs, SSARs, PSUs 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, as amended, a maximum of 36.7 million shares of common stock may be awarded. As of September 30, 2013, 16.6 million shares remained available.

Incentive Equity Awards Granted by the Company

The activity related to incentive equity awards granted by the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 consisted of the following:



	RSUs					SSARs
	Number of RSUs			Weighted Average Grant Price		Number of SSARs		Weighted Average Exercise Price
Balance as of December 31, 2012	3.1			$	32.41	1.1		$	17.13

Balance as of September 30, 2013 ^(a)	2.7		^(c)	42.97		1.2	^(d)	20.24


^(a)	Aggregate unrecognized compensation expense related to RSUs and SSARs was $93 million as of September 30, 2013, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years.


^(b)	Primarily represents awards granted by the Company on February 28, 2013.


^(c)	Approximately 2.6 million RSUs outstanding as of September 30, 2013 are expected to vest over time.


^(d)	Approximately 1 million SSARs are exercisable as of September 30, 2013. The Company assumes that all unvested SSARs are expected to vest over time. SSARs outstanding as of September 30, 2013 had an intrinsic value of $50 million and have a weighted average remaining contractual life of 1.9 years.

On February 28, 2013, the Company approved grants of incentive equity awards totaling $54 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 4 years. In addition, on February 28, 2013, the Company approved a grant of incentive equity awards totaling $14 million to key employees and senior officers of Wyndham in the form of PSUs. These awards cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, contingent upon the Company achieving certain performance metrics. As of September 30, 2013, there were 828,000 PSUs outstanding with an aggregate unrecognized compensation expense of $20 million.

Table of Contents

The fair value of SSARs granted by the Company on February 28, 2013 was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the relevant weighted average assumptions outlined in the table below. Expected volatility is based on both historical and implied volatilities of the Company’s stock over the estimated expected life of the SSARs. The expected life represents the period of time the SSARs are expected to be outstanding and is based on historical experience given consideration to the contractual terms and vesting periods of the SSARs. The risk free interest rate is based on yields on U.S. Treasury strips with a maturity similar to the estimated expected life of the SSARs. The projected dividend yield was based on the Company’s anticipated annual dividend divided by the price of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant.



	SSARs Issued on
	February 28, 2013
Grant date fair value	$	19.93
Grant date strike price	$	60.24
Expected volatility	44.56		%
Expected life	5 years
Risk free interest rate	0.80		%
Projected dividend yield	1.93		%

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $13 million and $38 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and $10 million and $31 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, related to the incentive equity awards granted by the Company. The Company recognized a net tax benefit of $5 million and $15 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and $4 million and $12 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, for stock-based compensation arrangements on the Consolidated Statements of Income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company increased its pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb tax deficiencies (“APIC Pool”) by $13 million due to the vesting of RSUs. As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s APIC Pool balance was $75 million.

The Company paid $26 million and $44 million of taxes for the net share settlement of incentive equity awards during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Such amounts are included within financing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

15.	Segment Information

The reportable segments presented below represent the Company’s 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 consumer financing interest), early extinguishment of debt, interest income (excluding consumer financing interest) and income taxes, each of which is presented on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company’s presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

16.	Restructuring

During 2012, the Company committed to an organizational realignment initiative at its vacation exchange and rentals business, primarily focused on consolidating existing processes and optimizing its structure. Also during 2012, the Company implemented an organizational realignment initiative at its vacation ownership business targeting the elimination of business function redundancies resulting from the Shell Vacations Club acquisition. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded $3 million of facility-related costs, reduced its liability with $5 million of cash payments and reversed $1 million of previously recorded personnel-related costs. The remaining liability of $3 million as of September 30, 2013 is expected to be paid in cash; $1 million of personnel-related by the end of 2013 and $2 million of facility-related by January 2017. From the commencement of the 2012 restructuring plan through September 30, 2013, the Company has incurred a total of $9 million of expenses in connection with such plan.

In addition to the restructuring plan implemented during 2012, the table below includes activity for prior restructuring plans that are immaterial to the Company. The activity related to costs associated with the Company's restructuring plans is summarized by category as follows:

17.	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 Company’s 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 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% while Realogy is responsible for the remaining 62.5%. The remaining amount of liabilities which were assumed by the Company in connection with the Separation was $41 million as of both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. 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(s). 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 were valued upon the Separation in accordance with the guidance for guarantees and recorded as liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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.

As a result of the sale of Realogy on April 10, 2007, Realogy was required to post a letter of credit in an amount acceptable to the Company and Avis Budget Group (formally known as Cendant) to satisfy its obligations for the Cendant legacy contingent liabilities. As of September 30, 2013, the letter of credit was $53 million.

As of September 30, 2013, the $41 million of Separation related liabilities is comprised of $36 million for tax liabilities, $1 million for liabilities of previously sold businesses of Cendant, $2 million for other contingent and corporate liabilities and $2 million of liabilities where the calculated guarantee amount exceeded the contingent liability assumed at the Separation Date. In connection with these liabilities, $22 million is recorded in current due to former Parent and subsidiaries and $17 million is recorded in long-term due to former Parent and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2013 on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company will indemnify Cendant for these contingent liabilities and therefore any payments made to the third party would be through the former Parent. The $2 million relating to guarantees is recorded in other current liabilities as of September 30, 2013 on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The actual timing of payments relating to these liabilities is dependent on a variety of factors beyond the Company’s control. In addition, as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $1 million and $2 million, respectively, of receivables due from former Parent and subsidiaries primarily relating to income taxes, which is recorded in other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

BUSINESS AND OVERVIEW

We are a global provider of hospitality services and products and operate our business in the following three segments:


•	Lodging—primarily franchises hotels in the upper upscale, upscale, upper midscale, midscale, economy and extended stay segments and provides hotel management services for full-service and select limited-service hotels.


•	Vacation Exchange and Rentals—provides vacation exchange services and products to owners of intervals of vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) and markets vacation rental properties primarily on behalf of independent owners.


•	Vacation Ownership—develops, markets and sells VOIs to individual consumers, provides consumer financing in connection with the sale of VOIs and provides property management services at resorts.

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 discrete 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" (a non-GAAP measure), 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 interest) and income taxes. Our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

^(k)	Represents the number of tours taken by guests in our efforts to sell VOIs.


^(l)	VPG is calculated by dividing Gross VOI sales (excluding tele-sales upgrades, which are non-tour upgrade sales) by the number of tours. Tele-sales upgrades were $22 million during both the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. We have excluded non-tour upgrade sales in the calculation of VPG because non-tour upgrade sales are generated by a different marketing channel.

Net income attributable to Wyndham shareholders	$	187		$	159		$	28

Net revenues increased $162 million (12.8%) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the same period last year resulting primarily from:


•	$64 million of incremental revenues from acquisitions across all our businesses;


•	$36 million at our vacation ownership business primarily resulting from higher commissions on gross VOI sales under WAAM 1.0 and property management fees;


•	$31 million at our lodging business (excluding intersegment revenues) primarily from higher royalty, marketing and reservation fees (inclusive of Wyndham Rewards) and higher reimbursable revenues in our hotel management business; and


•	$31 million at our exchange and rentals business resulting primarily from higher volume and yield on rental transactions.

Expenses increased $127 million (13.0%) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the same period last year principally reflecting:


•	$63 million of higher expenses from operations primarily related to the revenue increases;


•	$50 million of incremental expenses from acquisitions;


•	a $9 million increase in depreciation and amortization resulting from the impact of acquisitions and property and equipment additions made over the last twelve months; and


•	$5 million of higher legal settlement expenses.

Our effective tax rate declined from 37.9% during the third quarter of 2012 to 36.8% during the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to the release of a reserve resulting from the expiration of certain statutes of limitation.

As a result of these items, net income attributable to Wyndham shareholders increased $28 million (17.6%) as compared to the third quarter of 2012.

Lodging

Net revenues increased $48 million (19.3%) and EBITDA increased $9 million (10.5%) during the third quarter of 2013 compared to the same period last year.

Net revenues reflects an $11 million increase in royalty and marketing and reservation fees (inclusive of Wyndham Rewards) due to a 3.4% increase in RevPAR resulting from stronger occupancy and average daily rates and a 3.3% increase in system size. Net revenues also reflects $11 million of fees charged for the global franchisee conference during the third quarter of 2013 which are fully offset with expenses for such conference. Ancillary revenues contributed an additional $2 million of revenues and EBITDA primarily due to growth in our co-branded credit card program.

The Wyndham Grand Rio Mar hotel, which we assumed ownership control of in the fourth quarter of 2012, contributed $12 million of incremental net revenues with a $1 million decrease in EBITDA. In addition, net revenues reflects a $12 million increase in reimbursable revenues (inclusive of $3 million of intersegment revenues) in our hotel management business which had no impact on EBITDA.

EBITDA was also impacted by $3 million of higher marketing, reservation and Wyndham Rewards expenses associated with the marketing revenue increases as we are obligated to spend such marketing and reservation revenues on behalf of our

Table of Contents

franchisees.

As of September 30, 2013, we had approximately 7,440 properties and 638,300 rooms in our system. Additionally, our hotel development pipeline included approximately 900 hotels and approximately 113,700 rooms, of which 60% were international and 66% were new construction as of September 30, 2013.

Vacation Exchange and Rentals

Net revenues and EBITDA increased $50 million (11.9%) and $18 million (14.6%), respectively, during the third quarter of 2013 compared with the third quarter of 2012. Foreign currency translation favorably impacted net revenues and EBITDA by $4 million and $1 million, respectively.

Our acquisitions of vacation rentals businesses contributed $19 million of incremental net revenues (inclusive of $4 million of ancillary revenues) and $7 million of incremental EBITDA during the third quarter of 2013.

Net revenues generated from rental transactions and related services increased $45 million. Excluding the impact of $15 million of incremental vacation rental revenues from acquisitions and a favorable foreign currency translation impact of $5 million, net revenues generated from rental transactions and related services increased $25 million primarily due to (i) a 6.7% increase in average net price per vacation rental driven by the impact of yield management strategies in our Wyndham Vacation Rentals U.K. (previously known as “The Hoseasons Group”) and Landal GreenParks businesses and (ii) a 3.1% increase in rental transaction volume primarily resulting from growth in our Novasol, Landal GreenParks and Wyndham Vacation Rentals U.K. businesses principally due to enhanced marketing strategies, increased rental unit supply and volume growth in Southern European destinations.

Exchange and related service revenues, which principally consist of fees generated from memberships, exchange transactions, member-related rentals and other member servicing, increased $1 million. Excluding an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of $1 million, exchange and related service revenues increased $2 million due to a 1.0% increase in the average number of members principally resulting from an increase in the member base in Latin America and North America.

In addition to the items discussed above, EBITDA was unfavorably impacted by $19 million of higher product and service-related costs resulting from the revenue increases in our vacation rentals businesses. Such increases were partially offset by the favorable impact of $2 million from foreign exchange transactions and foreign exchange contracts.

Vacation Ownership

Net revenues and EBITDA increased $69 million (11.3%) and $22 million (14.3%), respectively, during the third quarter of 2013 compared with the third quarter of 2012. The acquisition of Shell completed during the third quarter of 2012 contributed an incremental $33 million of net revenues and $8 million of EBITDA.

Gross VOI sales increased $34 million (6.8%) compared to the prior year which principally reflects a $46 million increase in gross VOI sales under WAAM 1.0 for which we receive a commission. Gross sales of VOIs, net of WAAM 1.0 sales, decreased $11 million (2.2%) which included an increase of $10 million due to the Shell acquisition. The increase in gross VOI sales of $34 million was principally due to an 8.7% increase in tour flow partially offset by a 1.6% decrease in VPG. The change in VPG was attributable to the expiration of an upgrade marketing program and the mix impact of lower VPG from Shell sales. The increase in tour flow reflected our continued focus on marketing programs directed towards new owner generation as well as the impact of the Shell acquisition. Commission revenues and EBITDA generated by WAAM 1.0 increased by $29 million and $9 million, respectively, resulting from $46 million of higher VOI sales under WAAM 1.0.

Our provision for loan losses decreased $22 million primarily due to (i) a lower provision rate as a result of favorable default trends from lower cease and desist activity and continued improvement in the economy and (ii) the decrease in gross VOI sales, net of WAAM 1.0 sales.

Property management revenues and EBITDA increased $26 million and $2 million, respectively primarily due to $22 million and $4 million of incremental revenues and EBITDA, respectively, from the Shell acquisition. Excluding the Shell acquisition, revenues increased $4 million and EBITDA decreased $2 million. The increase in revenues was principally due to higher reimbursable revenues, which had no impact on EBITDA, partially offset by lower resort management fees. The $2 million decrease in EBITDA was principally due to the reduction in resort management fees resulting from increased operating expenses at resorts.

Table of Contents

Consumer financing revenues and EBITDA increased $1 million and $5 million, respectively. Excluding $2 million of incremental revenues and EBITDA contributed from Shell, revenues decreased $1 million and EBITDA increased $3 million principally due to higher weighted average interest rates earned on contract receivables offset by a lower average portfolio balance of such receivables. EBITDA further reflects lower interest expense as a result of a reduction in the weighted average interest rate on our securitized debt to 4.2% from 4.7% and lower average borrowings on our securitized debt facilities. As a result, our net interest income margin increased to 82% compared to 78% during 2012.

In addition to the items discussed above, EBITDA was also impacted by $5 million of increased expenses from legal settlements.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other revenues decreased $5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the same period of the prior year primarily due to the elimination of higher inter-segment revenues between our Lodging and Vacation Ownership segments.

Corporate EBITDA decreased $3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the same period of the prior year. Corporate EBITDA reflects $1 million of a net benefit during 2013 and the absence of a $1 million net expense during 2012 related to the resolution of and adjustment to certain contingent liabilities and assets resulting from our separation. Excluding the impact of these items, corporate EBITDA decreased $5 million primarily due to continued investment in information technology and information systems security enhancements, as well as higher employee related costs.

Net revenues increased $374 million (10.9%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the same period last year primarily resulting from:


•	$190 million of incremental revenues from acquisitions across all our businesses;


•	$69 million at our vacation ownership business primarily resulting from higher commissions on gross VOI sales under WAAM 1.0 and property management fees;


•	$66 million at our lodging business (excluding intersegment revenues) primarily from higher reimbursable revenues in our hotel management business and higher royalty, marketing and reservation fees (inclusive of Wyndham Rewards); and


•	$49 million at our exchange and rentals business resulting primarily from stronger volume and yield on rental transactions and new product offerings.

Expenses increased $326 million (11.9%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the same period last year principally reflecting:


•	$162 million of incremental expenses from acquisitions;


•	$140 million of higher expenses from operations primarily related to the revenue increases; and


•	a $24 million increase in depreciation and amortization resulting from the impact of acquisitions and property and equipment additions made over the last twelve months.

Early extinguishment of debt increased $3 million due to $111 million of expenses incurred for the early repurchase of a portion of our 5.75%, 7.375% and 6.00% senior unsecured notes and the remaining portion of our 9.875% senior unsecured notes during the first quarter of 2013, as compared to $108 million of expenses incurred for the early repurchase of a portion of our 9.875% and 6.00% senior unsecured notes during the first quarter of 2012.

Other income, net decreased $3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period last year resulting primarily from (i) the absence of a $4 million settlement payment received during the second quarter of 2012 for a business disruption claim related to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill in 2010 at our vacation exchange and rentals business and (ii) the absence of a $2 million benefit during 2012 related to the reversal of an allowance of a previously divested asset offset by higher earnings from equity investments.

Our effective tax rate declined from 37.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to 36.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

As a result of these items, net income attributable to Wyndham shareholders increased $26 million (8.1%) during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Lodging

Net revenues increased $115 million (17.2%) and EBITDA increased $22 million (10.5%) during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period last year.

Net revenues reflects a $22 million increase in royalty and marketing and reservation fees (inclusive of Wyndham Rewards) primarily due to a 3.4% increase in RevPAR resulting from stronger occupancy and average daily rates and a 3.3% increase in system size. In addition, net revenues and EBITDA increased by $3 million due to a higher licensing fee charged primarily to our vacation ownership business for the use of the Wyndham trade name. Ancillary revenues contributed an additional $15 million and $5 million of net revenues and EBITDA, respectively, principally from higher property management systems sales and growth in our co-branded credit card program.

Table of Contents

The Wyndham Grand Rio Mar hotel, which we assumed ownership control of during the fourth quarter of 2012, contributed an incremental $40 million of revenues and $3 million of EBITDA. In addition, net revenues and EBITDA increased $3 million and $1 million from the Wyndham Grand Orlando Bonnet Creek, respectively.

The increase in net revenues also reflects $32 million of higher reimbursable revenues (inclusive of $4 million of intersegment revenues) in our hotel management business which had no impact on EBITDA. Such increase was primarily the result of the acquisition of new management agreements during the current year.

EBITDA was also impacted by $12 million of higher marketing, reservation and Wyndham Rewards expenses primarily due to higher expenses associated with the marketing revenue increases as we are obligated to spend such marketing and reservation revenues on behalf of our franchisees.

Vacation Exchange and Rentals

Net revenues and EBITDA increased $91 million (8.1%) and $20 million (6.7%), respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the same period during 2012. Foreign currency translation favorably impacted net revenues by $1 million and unfavorably impacted EBITDA by $1 million. EBITDA also reflects the absence of a $4 million settlement of a business disruption claim received during the second quarter of 2012 related to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill in 2010.

Our acquisitions of vacation rentals businesses contributed $42 million of incremental net revenues (inclusive of $7 million of ancillary revenues) and $12 million of incremental EBITDA during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Net revenues generated from rental transactions and related services increased $74 million. Excluding the impact of $35 million of incremental vacation rental revenues from acquisitions and a favorable foreign currency translation impact of $5 million, net revenues generated from rental transactions and related services increased $34 million primarily due to a 6.5% increase in average net price per vacation rental driven by the impact of yield management strategies especially in our Wyndham Vacation Rentals U.K. and Landal GreenParks businesses.

Exchange and related service revenues, which principally consist of fees generated from memberships, exchange transactions, member-related rentals and other member servicing, increased $11 million. Excluding an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of $4 million, exchange and related service revenues increased $15 million due to the impact of a 2.6% increase in exchange revenue per member primarily resulting from an increase in revenues derived from new products, higher exchange fees, incremental revenues from new affiliate club servicing programs, as well as higher yields in member rentals.

In addition to the items discussed above, EBITDA was unfavorably impacted by:


•	$33 million of higher product and service-related costs resulting from the revenue increases in our vacation rentals businesses;


•	the absence of a $4 million favorable adjustment for value-added taxes recorded during the first quarter of 2012;


•	a $4 million foreign exchange loss related to the devaluation of the official exchange rate of Venezuela during the first quarter of 2013; and


•	the absence of a $2 million benefit recorded during the first quarter of 2012 related to the reversal of an allowance associated with a previously divested asset.

Such decreases to EBITDA were partially offset by the favorable impact of $7 million from foreign exchange transactions and foreign exchange contracts.

Vacation Ownership

Net revenues and EBITDA increased $177 million (10.5%) and $40 million (9.8%), respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the same period of 2012. The acquisition of Shell completed during the third quarter of 2012 contributed an incremental $108 million of net revenues and $13 million of EBITDA.

Gross VOI sales increased $55 million (4.1%) compared to the prior year which principally reflects a $91 million increase in gross VOI sales under WAAM 1.0 for which we receive a commission. Gross sales of VOIs, net of WAAM 1.0 sales, decreased $36 million (2.8%) which included an increase of $33 million due to the Shell acquisition. The increase in gross VOI sales of $55 million was principally due to a 9.8% increase in tour flow partially offset by a 4.4% decrease in VPG. The change in VPG was attributable to the expiration of an upgrade marketing program and the mix impact of lower VPG from

Table of Contents

Shell sales. The increase in tour flow reflected our continued focus on marketing programs directed towards new owner generation as well as the impact of the Shell acquisition. Commission revenues and EBITDA generated by WAAM 1.0 increased by $59 million and $14 million, respectively, resulting from $91 million of higher VOI sales under WAAM 1.0.

Our provision for loan losses decreased $44 million primarily due to (i) a lower provision rate as a result of favorable default trends from lower cease and desist activity and continued improvement in the economy and (ii) the decrease in gross VOI sales, net of WAAM 1.0 sales.

Property management revenues and EBITDA increased $96 million and $12 million, respectively. The revenue and EBITDA increase was primarily the result of $70 million and $13 million of incremental revenues of EBITDA, respectively, from the Shell acquisition. Revenues also reflect an increase for ancillary services for which we receive a fee. Revenues were also favorably impacted by higher reimbursable revenues resulting from increased operating expenses at our resorts which had no impact on EBITDA.

Consumer financing revenues and EBITDA increased $7 million and $16 million, respectively. Excluding $9 million of incremental revenues and EBITDA contributed from Shell, revenues decreased $2 million and EBITDA increased $7 million principally due to higher weighted average interest rates earned on contract receivables partially offset by a lower average portfolio balance of such receivables. EBITDA further reflects lower interest expense as a result of a reduction in the weighted average interest rate on our securitized debt to 4.3% from 4.9% and lower average borrowings on our securitized debt facilities. As a result, our net interest income margin increased to 81% compared to 78% during 2012.

In addition to the items discussed above, EBITDA reflects an increase in expenses primarily resulting from (i) $12 million of increased general and administrative expenses, primarily from incremental expenses resulting from Shell and higher employee and information technology costs and (ii) $8 million of higher sales and marketing expenses due to increased tours for new owner generation.

Such increases in expenses were partially offset by an $8 million reduction in the cost of VOI sales resulting from lower VOI product costs and a reduction in gross VOI sales, net of WAAM 1.0 sales.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other revenues decreased $9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the same period of the prior year primarily due to the elimination of higher inter-segment revenues charged between our Lodging and Vacation Ownership segments.

Corporate EBITDA decreased $13 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the same period as the prior year. Corporate EBITDA reflects $1 million of a net expense during 2013 and the absence of a $3 million net benefit during 2012 related to the resolution of and adjustment to certain contingent liabilities and assets resulting from our Separation. Excluding the impact of these items, corporate EBITDA decreased $9 million primarily due to continued investments in information technology and information systems security enhancements, as well as higher employee related costs.

RESTRUCTURING PLANS

During 2012, we committed to an organizational realignment initiative at our vacation exchange and rentals business, primarily focused on consolidating existing processes and optimizing its structure partially due to a shift by members to transact online resulting from the enhancements we have made to RCI.com. Also during 2012, we implemented an organizational realignment initiative at our vacation ownership business, targeting the elimination of business function redundancies resulting from the Shell acquisition. In connection with these initiatives, we recorded $3 million of facility-related costs, reduced our liability with $5 million of cash payments and reversed $1 million of previously recorded personnel-related costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, we had a remaining liability of $3 million, which is expected to be paid in cash; $1 million of personnel-related by the end of 2013 and $2 million of facility-related by January 2017. We anticipate annual net savings from such initiatives of $13 million.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

FINANCIAL CONDITION



	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012		Change
Total assets	$	9,666	$	9,463	$	203
Total liabilities	7,984		7,532		452
Total equity	1,682		1,931		(249		)

Total assets increased $203 million from December 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013 primarily due to:

•

a $221 million increase in property and equipment primarily related to (i) the consolidated vacation ownership New York City ("NYC") property SPE's acquisition of a hotel which is being converted to vacation ownership inventory, (ii) property and equipment additions principally for information technology projects, renovations of owned bungalows at Landal GreenParks and leasehold improvements on a new Corporate facility and (iii) the reclassification of our Corporate headquarters to a capital lease resulting from the extension of the term of such lease, partially offset by current year depreciation of property and equipment;

•

a $129 million increase in other non-current assets primarily due: (i) to the issuance of development advance notes and performance guarantees resulting from new franchise and management agreements executed at our lodging business and (ii) a note received in connection with the sale of unfinished vacation ownership inventory that is subject to conditional repurchase from the third party developer;


•	a $74 million increase in cash and cash equivalents resulting from seasonality at our vacation rentals businesses; and


•	a $45 million increase in other current assets primarily due to increased deferred costs and escrow deposits at our vacation rentals businesses principally related to bookings received on vacation rental transactions and an increase in receivables from homeowners associations and developers resulting from timing.

Such increases were partially offset by:


•	a $134 million decrease in vacation ownership contract receivables, net primarily due to principal collections and loan loss provisions exceeding loan originations;


•	a $63 million decrease in inventory primarily due to VOI sales and our focus on managing inventory spend; and


•	a $60 million decrease in deferred income taxes primarily attributable to the utilization of alternative minimum tax credits and foreign tax credits.

Total liabilities increased $452 million from December 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013 primarily due to:

•

a $341 million net increase in long-term debt primarily reflecting (i) the issuance of $850 million of senior unsecured notes, (ii) $124 million of borrowings incurred by the consolidated vacation ownership NYC property SPE and (iii) an $85 million capital lease obligation for our Corporate headquarters, partially offset by the early repurchase of $531 million of senior unsecured notes and a $120 million decrease in borrowings under our commercial paper borrowings and revolving credit facility;


•	a $146 million increase in other non-current liabilities primarily due to (i) a $118 million obligation resulting from the sale of vacation ownership inventory comprised of land and partially completed improvements, that is subject to conditional repurchase from the third party developer and (ii) performance guarantees associated with management agreements executed at our lodging business; and


•	a $58 million increase in deferred income primarily resulting from ancillary marketing activities within our vacation ownership business and from the seasonality of arrival-based bookings within our vacation rentals businesses.

Such increases were partially offset by a $72 million reduction in our securitized vacation ownership debt.

Total equity decreased $249 million from December 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013 primarily due to:

•$475 million of stock repurchases;

•$119 million of dividends; and

•$28 million of foreign currency translation adjustments.

Such decreases were partially offset by $346 million of net income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Currently, our financing needs are supported by cash generated from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility and commercial paper program as well as access to the long-term debt markets. In addition, certain funding requirements of our vacation ownership business are met through the utilization of our bank conduit facility and the issuance of securitized debt to finance vacation ownership contract receivables. We believe that our net cash from operations, cash and cash equivalents, access to our revolving credit facility, commercial paper program and continued access to the securitization and debt markets provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our ongoing needs.

Our five-year revolving credit facility has a total capacity of $1.5 billion and available capacity of $1.3 billion, net of letters of credit and commercial paper borrowings as of September 30, 2013. We consider outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program to be a reduction of the available capacity on our revolving credit facility.

We maintain a commercial paper program under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum amount of $750 million. As of September 30, 2013, we had $164 million of outstanding borrowings and the total available remaining capacity was $586 million.

Our two-year securitized vacation ownership bank conduit facility has a total capacity of $650 million and available capacity of $377 million as of September 30, 2013. During August 2013, we renewed this facility for a two-year term that expires in August 2015.

We may, from time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors, repurchase our outstanding indebtedness, whether or not such indebtedness trades above or below its face amount, for cash and/or in exchange for other securities or other consideration, in each case in open market purchases and/or privately negotiated transactions.

CASH FLOW

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the net change in cash and cash equivalents was $74 million and $90 million, respectively. The following table summarizes such changes:



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013			2012			Change
Cash provided by/(used in)
Operating activities	$	858		$	808		$	50
Investing activities	(317		)	(377		)	60
Financing activities	(464		)	(340		)	(124		)
Effects of changes in exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents	(3		)	(1		)	(2		)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	74		$	90		$	(16	)

Operating Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities increased $50 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Net income contributed $28 million to cash provided by operating activities.

Cash provided by operating activities also reflects a $17 million reduction in working capital (net change in assets and liabilities) primarily from a decrease in vacation ownership contract receivables due to higher collections and lower originations partially offset by higher inventory spend.

Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash used in investing activities decreased by $60 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which principally reflects $76 million of lower payments for acquisitions and the absence of a $41 million investment in the Rio Mar joint venture during 2012, partially offset by a $51 million increase in development advance payments resulting primarily from new franchise and management agreements executed at our lodging business.

Table of Contents

Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash used in financing activities increased by $124 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which principally reflects $134 million of lower net borrowings related to securitized vacation ownership debt and $60 million of lower net borrowings related to non-securitized debt, partially offset by $87 million of cash received in connection with the sale of vacation ownership inventory which is subject to conditional repurchase.

Capital Deployment

We are focusing on optimizing cash flow and seeking to deploy capital for the highest possible returns. Ultimately, our business objective is to grow our business while transforming our cash and earnings profile by managing our cash streams to achieve a greater proportion of EBITDA from our fee-for-service businesses. We intend to continue to invest in select capital and technological improvements across our business. In addition, we may seek to acquire additional franchise agreements, hotel/property management contracts and exclusive agreements for vacation rental properties on a strategic and selective basis, either directly or through investments in joint ventures.

We expect to generate annual net cash provided by operating activities less property and equipment additions (which we also refer to as capital expenditures) of approximately $750 million in 2013. During 2013, we anticipate net cash provided by operating activities of $1 billion and net cash used on capital expenditures of $250 million to $260 million. Net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures amounted to $796 million during 2012, which was comprised of net cash provided by operating activities of $1 billion less capital expenditures of $208 million. The decrease in the 2013 expected net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures of approximately $46 million is related to the higher anticipated spending on capital expenditures during 2013. We believe net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures is 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we spent $85 million related to vacation ownership development projects (inventory). We believe that our vacation ownership business currently has adequate finished inventory on our balance sheet to support vacation ownership sales for at least the next year. We anticipate spending on average approximately $150 million annually from 2012 through 2016 on vacation ownership development projects (approximately $120 million to $130 million during 2013), including projects currently under development. After factoring in the anticipated additional average spending, we expect to have adequate inventory to support vacation ownership sales through at least the next 4 to 5 years.

We also spent $153 million on capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily on information technology enhancement projects, leasehold improvements for a new Corporate facility and renovations of owned bungalows at our Landal GreenParks business.

In addition, we utilized $54 million of our net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 on development advances related to new franchise and management agreements entered into with multi-unit owners. In an effort to support growth in our lodging business, we will continue to provide development advances which may include additional agreements with multi-unit owners. We will also continue to provide mezzanine financing, performance guarantees and other financial support.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an SPE that we consolidated into our financial statements, purchased a hotel in NYC which is currently being converted to vacation ownership inventory, for $115 million. Such purchase was reported within net assets acquired, net of cash acquired on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. For further information regarding acquisitions, see Note 3 - Acquisitions.

In connection with our focus on optimizing cash flow, we are expanding on our approach to our asset-light efforts in vacation ownership by seeking opportunities with financial partners whereby they make strategic investments for our future use. The partner may invest in new ground-up development projects or purchase from us, for cash, existing in-process inventory which currently resides on our balance sheet. The partner will complete the development of the project and we will purchase finished inventory at a future date as needed or as obligated under the agreement.

We expect that the majority of the expenditures that will be required to pursue our capital spending programs, strategic investments and vacation ownership development projects will be financed with cash flow generated through operations.

Table of Contents

Additional expenditures are financed with general unsecured corporate borrowings, including through the use of available capacity under our revolving credit facility.

Part of our capital allocation policy is to return cash to shareholders through the repurchase of common stock and payment of dividends.

Stock Repurchase Program

On August 20, 2007, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a stock repurchase program that enables us to purchase our common stock. The Board has since authorized five increases to the repurchase program, most recently on July 23, 2013 for $750 million, bringing the total authorization under our current program to $3.0 billion.

Under our current stock repurchase program, we repurchased 7.9 million shares at an average price of $59.84 for a cost of $475 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. From August 20, 2007 through September 30, 2013 we repurchased 60.9 million shares at an average price of $37.65 for a cost of $2.3 billion and repurchase capacity increased $77 million from proceeds received from stock option exercises.

As of September 30, 2013, we have repurchased under our current and prior stock repurchase plans, a total of 86.1 million shares at an average price of $36.09 for a cost of $3.1 billion since our Separation.

During the period October 1, 2013 through October 22, 2013, we repurchased an additional 816,000 shares at an average price of $61.23 for a cost of $50 million. We currently have $732 million of remaining availability in our program. The amount and timing of specific repurchases are subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. Repurchases may be conducted in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

Dividend Policy

During each of the quarterly periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2013, we paid cash dividends of $0.29 per share ($119 million in the aggregate). During each of the quarterly periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2012, we paid cash dividends of $0.23 per share ($102 million in the aggregate).

Our ongoing dividend policy for the future is to grow our dividend at least at the rate of growth of our earnings. The declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common stock are at the discretion of our Board and depend upon many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements of our business, covenants associated with certain debt obligations, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice and other factors that our Board deems relevant. There is no assurance that a payment of a dividend will occur in the future.

Financial Obligations

Long-Term Debt Covenants

The revolving credit facility is subject to covenants including the maintenance of specific financial ratios. The financial ratio covenants consist of a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of at least 2.5 to 1.0 as of the measurement date and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio not to exceed 4.0 to 1.0 as of the measurement date (provided that the consolidated leverage ratio may be increased for a limited period to 5.0 to 1.0 in connection with a material acquisition). The consolidated interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) by consolidated interest expense (as defined in the credit agreement), both as measured on a trailing 12 month basis preceding the measurement date. As of September 30, 2013, our consolidated interest coverage ratio was 8.3 times. Consolidated interest expense excludes, among other things, interest expense on any securitization indebtedness (as defined in the credit agreement). The consolidated leverage ratio is calculated by dividing consolidated total indebtedness (as defined in the credit agreement and which excludes, among other things, securitization indebtedness) as of the measurement date by consolidated EBITDA as measured on a trailing 12 month basis preceding the measurement date. As of September 30, 2013, our consolidated leverage ratio was 2.7 times. Covenants in this credit facility also include limitations on indebtedness of material subsidiaries; liens; mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions; and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. Events of default in this credit facility include failure to pay interest, principal and fees when due; breach of a covenant or warranty; acceleration of or failure to pay other debt in excess of $50 million (excluding securitization indebtedness); insolvency matters; and a change of control.

All of our senior unsecured notes contain various covenants including limitations on liens, limitations on potential sale and leaseback transactions and change of control restrictions. In addition, there are limitations on mergers, consolidations and potential sale of all or substantially all of our assets. Events of default in the notes include failure to pay interest and principal when due, breach of a covenant or warranty, acceleration of other debt in excess of $50 million and insolvency matters.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants described above.

Each of our non-recourse, securitized term notes and the bank conduit facility contain various triggers relating to the performance of the applicable loan pools. If the vacation ownership contract receivables pool that collateralizes one of our securitization notes fails to perform within the parameters established by the contractual triggers (such as higher default or delinquency rates), there are provisions pursuant to which the cash flows for that pool will be maintained in the securitization as extra collateral for the note holders or applied to accelerate the repayment of outstanding principal to the note holders. As of September 30, 2013, all of our securitized loan pools were in compliance with applicable contractual triggers.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Our vacation ownership business finances certain of its receivables through (i) an asset-backed bank conduit facility and (ii) periodically accessing the capital markets by issuing asset-backed securities. None of the currently outstanding asset-backed securities contains any recourse provisions to us other than interest rate risk related to swap counterparties (solely to the extent that the amount outstanding on our notes differs from the forecasted amortization schedule at the time of issuance).

We believe that our bank conduit facility, with a term through August 2015 and capacity of $650 million, combined with our ability to issue term asset-backed securities, should provide sufficient liquidity for our expected sales pace and we expect to have available liquidity to finance the sale of VOIs.

As of September 30, 2013, we had $377 million of availability under our asset-backed bank conduit facility. Any disruption to the asset-backed or commercial paper markets could adversely impact our ability to obtain such financings.

We maintain a commercial paper program under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum amount of $750 million. We allocate a portion of our available capacity under our revolving credit facility to repay outstanding commercial paper borrowings in the event that the commercial paper market is not available to us for any reason when outstanding borrowings mature. As of September 30, 2013, we had $164 million of outstanding borrowings and the total available capacity was $586 million.

We primarily utilize surety bonds at our vacation ownership business for sales and development transactions in order to meet regulatory requirements of certain states. In the ordinary course of our business, we have assembled commitments from thirteen surety providers in the amount of $1.2 billion, of which we had $360 million outstanding as of September 30, 2013. The availability, terms and conditions, and pricing of such bonding capacity is dependent on, among other things, continued financial strength and stability of the insurance company affiliates providing such bonding capacity, the general availability of such capacity and our corporate credit rating. If such bonding capacity is unavailable, or alternatively, if the terms and conditions and pricing of such bonding capacity are unacceptable to us, our vacation ownership business could be negatively impacted.

Our liquidity position may also be negatively affected by unfavorable conditions in the capital markets in which we operate or if our vacation ownership contract receivables portfolios do not meet specified portfolio credit parameters. Our liquidity as it relates to our vacation ownership contract receivables securitization program could be adversely affected if we were to fail to renew or replace our conduit facility on its expiration date, or if a particular receivables pool were to fail to meet certain ratios, which could occur in certain instances if the default rates or other credit metrics of the underlying vacation ownership contract receivables deteriorate. Our ability to sell securities backed by our vacation ownership contract receivables depends on the continued ability and willingness of capital market participants to invest in such securities.

Our senior unsecured debt is rated Baa3 with a “stable outlook” by Moody’s Investors Service and BBB- with a “stable outlook” by both Standard and Poor’s and Fitch Rating Agency. 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. Reference in this report to any such credit rating is intended for the limited purpose of discussing or referring to aspects of our liquidity and of our costs of funds. Any reference to a credit rating is not intended to be any guarantee or assurance of, nor should there be any undue reliance upon, any credit rating or change in credit rating, nor is any such reference intended as any inference concerning future performance, future liquidity or any future credit 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, exchange and member-related 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, due to increased leisure travel during the summer months. Revenues from vacation rentals are generally highest in the third quarter, when vacation arrivals are highest combined with a compressed booking window. Revenues from vacation exchange and member-related 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 third quarter 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.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are involved in claims, legal and regulatory proceedings and governmental inquiries related to our business. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and, although we believe that our accruals are adequate and/or that we have valid defenses in these matters, unfavorable results could occur. As such, an adverse outcome from such proceedings for which claims are awarded in excess of the amounts accrued, if any, could be material to us with respect to earnings or cash flows in any given reporting period. As of September 30, 2013, the potential exposure resulting from adverse outcomes of such legal proceedings could, in the aggregate, range up to approximately $13 million in excess of recorded accruals. However, we do not believe that the impact of such litigation should result in a material liability to us in relation to our consolidated financial position or liquidity.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

The following table summarizes our future contractual obligations for the twelve month periods set forth below:

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 Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the SEC on February 15, 2013, which includes a description of our critical accounting policies that involve subjective and complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results. While there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as to the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them, we continue to monitor such methodologies and assumptions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks.

We assess our market risks based on changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential impact in earnings, fair values and cash flows based on a hypothetical 10% change (increase and decrease) in interest and foreign currency rates. We used September 30, 2013 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 Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chairman and 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 Control Over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are involved in various claims and lawsuits, none of which, in the opinion of management, is expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of claims and legal actions applicable to our business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The discussion of our business and operations should be read together with the risk factors contained in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which describe various risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies or prospects in a material and adverse manner. As of September 30, 2013, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
