During the fourth quarter, Vacation Ownership revenue increased 5%, primarily due to a 3% increase in gross vacation ownership interest (VOI) sales to $582 million. Tours increased 9% year-over-year and Volume Per Guest (VPG) decreased 5%, due to a mix shift from increased new owner tours.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 10% to $222 million, due to revenue growth of 5%, lower product costs and lower general and administrative costs, offset by increased sales and marketing costs.
The provision for loan loss as a percentage of gross VOI sales, net of fee-for-service sales, was 18.6% for the fourth quarter of 2019, an improvement from 19.3% during the fourth quarter of 2018. For the full-year of 2019, the provision percentage was 20.6%, flat compared to 2018.

During the fourth quarter, Vacation Exchange revenue decreased 5%, primarily due to the sale of North American vacation rentals, partially offset by the acquisition of Alliance Reservations Network (ARN). Excluding the impact of these two transactions, revenue increased 3%.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 10% to $55 million, driven by the sale of North American vacation rentals and the acquisition of ARN.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Net Debt — As of December 31, 2019, the Company's leverage ratio was 2.7x, compared to 2.8x as of December 31, 2018 and 2.9x as of September 30, 2019. The Company's target range remains at 2.25x to 3.0x. The Company had $3.0 billion of corporate debt outstanding, which excluded $2.5 billion of non-recourse debt related to its securitized notes receivable. Additionally, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $355 million. Refer to Table 9 for definitions of net debt and leverage ratio.
Cash Flow — For the full-year 2019, net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $453 million compared to $292 million in the prior year. The increase was driven by higher net income and a decrease in cash used for working capital. Adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations was $617 million in 2019 compared to $580 million in the prior year, with the increase driven primarily by the increase in net cash provided by operating activities.
Share Repurchases — During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company repurchased 2.6 million shares of common stock for $125 million at a weighted average price of $47.36 per share. For the full-year 2019, Wyndham Destinations repurchased 7.6 million shares of common stock for $340 million at a weighted average price of $44.63 per share. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $476 million remaining in its share repurchase authorization.
Dividend — The Company paid a cash dividend of $0.45 per share on December 30, 2019 to shareholders of record as of December 13, 2019. For the full-year 2019, Wyndham Destinations paid an aggregate $166 million in dividends to shareholders. Subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an 11% increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.50 per share, beginning with the dividend that is expected to be declared in the first quarter of 2020.
Timeshare Receivables Financing — The Company closed a $300 million term securitization on October 23, 2019 with a weighted average coupon of 2.76% and an advance rate of 98%.
Senior Secured Notes — In December, the Company issued $350 million of senior secured notes with an interest rate of 4.625%. The notes will mature on March 1, 2030.
Other
North American Vacation Rentals — On October 22, 2019, the Company completed the sale of North American vacation rentals to Vacasa for $162 million. After customary closing adjustments, Wyndham Destinations received $156 million in cash and $10 million in Vacasa equity.
Outlook
The Company is providing its full-year 2020 guidance:
| |
• | Net revenue of $4.04 billion to $4.14 billion |
| |
◦ | Revenue guidance includes an expected increase of $160 million in fee-for-service sales. Adjusting for the impact of fee-for-service sales, the sale of North American vacation rentals and the acquisition of ARN, comparable revenue growth over 2019 is 5% to 7% |
| |
• | Adjusted EBITDA of $1.03 billion to $1.05 billion |
| |
• | Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations of $5.90 to $6.10, based on a diluted share count of 89.2 million, which assumes no future share repurchases after December 31, 2019 |
| |
• | Adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations of $560 million to $580 million |
| |
• | Provision for loan loss as a percentage of gross VOI sales, net of fee-for-service sales, to be around 20% |
Wyndham Destinations' outlook excludes any potential impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus and is based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2019. This guidance is presented only on a non-GAAP basis because not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is available without unreasonable effort, primarily due to uncertainties relating to the occurrence or amount of these adjustments that may arise in the future. Please refer to Table 8 for further information.

Presentation of Financial Information
Financial information discussed in this press release includes non-GAAP measures such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations, adjusted free cash flow, gross VOI sales and adjusted net income from continuing operations, which include or exclude certain items. The Company utilizes non-GAAP measures, defined in Table 9, on a regular basis to assess performance of its reportable segments and allocate resources. These non-GAAP measures differ from reported GAAP results and are intended to illustrate what management believes are relevant period-over-period comparisons and are helpful to investors when considered with GAAP measures as an additional tool for further understanding and assessing the Company’s ongoing operating performance by adjusting for items which in our view do not necessarily reflect ongoing performance. Management also internally uses these measures to assess our operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions. Exclusion of items in the Company’s non-GAAP presentation should not be considered an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. The Company is also presenting non-GAAP results on a further adjusted basis for prior period comparison as if the spin-off of its hotel business and the sale of its European vacation rentals business had occurred for all periods presented. Full reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for the reported periods appear in the financial tables section of the press release. See definitions on Table 9 for an explanation of our non-GAAP measures.

Amounts may not add due to rounding. The table above reconciles certain non-GAAP financial measures to their closest GAAP measure. The presentation of these adjustments is intended to permit the comparison of particular adjustments as they appear in the income statement in order to assist investors' understanding of the overall impact of such adjustments. In addition to GAAP financial measures, the Company provides adjusted net income from continuing operations and adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations to assist our investors in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for the current reporting period and, where provided, over different reporting periods, by adjusting for certain items which in our view do not necessarily reflect ongoing performance. We also internally use these measures to assess our operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions. The Company is also presenting non-GAAP results on a further adjusted basis as if the spin-off of its hotel business and the sale of its European vacation rentals business had occurred for all periods presented. These supplemental disclosures are in addition to GAAP reported measures. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, financial results and measures determined or calculated.
See "Presentation of Financial Information" and the tables for the definitions and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures.
(a) Amortization of acquisition-related assets is excluded from adjusted net income from continuing operations, adjusted
EBITDA, further adjusted EBITDA and further adjusted net income from continuing operations.
(b) Debt modification costs in interest expense are excluded from adjusted net income from continuing operations, adjusted
EBITDA, further adjusted EBITDA and further adjusted net income from continuing operations.
| |
(c) | In the three months ended December 31, 2019, amount represents $13 million of tax expense incurred by the Company in connection with the separation of the hotel business and $8 million in relation to the net tax effects of the adjustments. In the three months ended December 31, 2018, amount primarily represents $17 million related to the net tax effects of the adjustments plus $10 million of state tax impact resulting from legislative changes in the quarter. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, amount represents $13 million of tax expense incurred by the Company in connection with the separation of the hotel business partially offset by $7 million in relation to the net tax effects of the adjustments. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, amounts represent the tax effect of the adjustments totaling $76 million partially offset by $27 million of non-cash state tax expense incurred by the Company in connection with the separation of the hotel business and $13 million of primarily non-cash tax expense from certain internal restructurings associated with the sale of its European vacation rentals business. |
(d) All stock-based compensation is excluded from adjusted EBITDA and further adjusted EBITDA. Stock-based
compensation for the Wyndham Destinations' equity recipients is included as a reduction to further adjusted net income
from continuing operations.
(e) Includes 2018 incremental license fees paid to Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and other corporate costs being effected in
order to reflect the Company's position as if the spin-off had occurred for all periods presented.
(f) 2018 is further adjusted to reflect results as if Wyndham Hotels & Resorts were separated from Wyndham Destinations
and the sale of the European rentals business was completed for all periods.
(g) For 2018 comparative purposes, excludes depreciation related to corporate assets transferred to Wyndham Hotels &
Resorts.
| |
(h) | For 2018 comparative purposes, interest expense in 2018 was calculated based on $2.9 billion of outstanding debt, excluding non-recourse vacation ownership debt, and a non-investment-grade rating, resulting in higher interest rates for select tranches of notes. |
(i) For comparative purposes this assumes a stabilized effective tax rate of 27% in all quarters prior to the spin-off, which
occurred in the second quarter of 2018.

Note: Amounts may not add due to rounding. The Company is providing guidance for adjusted net income from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted free cash flow from continuing operations only on a non-GAAP adjusted basis because not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is available without unreasonable effort, primarily due to uncertainties relating to the occurrence or amount of these adjustments or other potential adjustments that may arise in the future. Definitions are included in Table 9.

Definitions
Adjusted EBITDA: A non-GAAP measure, defined by the Company as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense (excluding consumer financing interest), early extinguishment of debt, interest income (excluding consumer financing revenues) and income taxes, each of which is presented on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes stock-based compensation costs, separation and restructuring costs, transaction costs and impairments, gains and losses on sale/disposition of business, and items that meet the conditions of unusual and/or infrequent. We believe that when considered with GAAP measures, Adjusted EBITDA is useful to assist our investors in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for the current reporting period and, where provided, over different reporting periods. We also internally use these measures to assess our operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP and our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
Adjusted net income from continuing operations: A non-GAAP measure, defined by the Company as net income from continuing operations adjusted to exclude separation and restructuring costs, amortization of acquisition-related assets, debt modification costs, impairments, gains and losses on sale/disposition of business and items that meet the conditions of unusual and/or infrequent and the tax effect of such adjustments.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share: A non-GAAP measure, defined by the Company as Adjusted net income from continuing operations divided by the diluted weighted average number of common shares.
Further adjusted earnings measures: For 2018, a non-GAAP measure, defined by the Company to exclude certain items including impairment charges, restructuring and other related charges, transaction-related items, contract termination costs and other significant charges which in the Company's view does not reflect ongoing performance. Further adjusted earnings measures adjust for license fees, credit card income and corporate expense to reflect the performance of the Company as if it were separated from Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and the sale of the European rentals business was completed for all reported periods. All further adjusted earnings measures are reported from continuing operations, unless otherwise noted. Wyndham Destinations believes that these measures are useful to investors as supplemental measures in evaluating the aggregate performance of the Company. A full reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP are included in Table 5.
Gross Vacation Ownership Interest Sales: A non-GAAP measure, represents sales of vacation ownership interests (VOIs), including sales under the fee-for-service program before the effect of loan loss provisions. We believe that Gross VOI sales provide an enhanced understanding of the performance of our vacation ownership business because it directly measures the sales volume of this business during a given reporting period.
Tours: Represents the number of tours taken by guests in our efforts to sell VOIs.
Volume Per Guest (VPG): Represents Gross VOI sales (excluding tele-sales upgrades, which are non-tour upgrade sales) divided by the number of tours. The Company has excluded non-tour upgrade sales in the calculation of VPG because non-tour upgrade sales are generated by a different marketing channel.
Average Number of Members: Represents paid members in our vacation exchange programs who are current on their annual membership dues or within the allowed grace period.
Exchange Revenue Per Member: Represents total revenues generated from fees associated with memberships, exchange transactions, and other servicing for the period divided by the average number of vacation exchange members during the period.
Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations (FCF): A non-GAAP measure, defined by the Company as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less property and equipment additions (capital expenditures) plus the sum of proceeds and principal payments of non-recourse vacation ownership debt. The Company believes FCF to be a useful operating performance measure to evaluate the ability of its operations to generate cash for uses other than capital expenditures and, after debt service and other obligations, its ability to grow its business through acquisitions and equity investments, as well as its ability to return cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. A limitation of using FCF versus the GAAP measures of net cash provided by operating activities as a means for evaluating Wyndham Destinations is that FCF does not represent the total cash movement for the period as detailed in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations: A non-GAAP measure, defined by the Company as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less property and equipment additions (capital expenditures) plus the sum of proceeds and principal payments of non-recourse vacation ownership debt, while also adding back corporate and other costs, transaction costs for acquisitions and divestitures, and separation adjustments associated with the spin-off to reflect the performance of the Company as if it were separated from Wyndham Hotels & Resorts during all reported periods.
Net Debt: Net debt equals total debt outstanding, less non-recourse vacation ownership debt and cash and cash equivalents.
Leverage Ratio: The Company calculates leverage ratio as net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA.
