Wyndham Worldwide Reports Solid First Quarter 2008 Results
    Announces reported EPS of $0.24, or adjusted EPS of $0.35 excluding legacy and rebranding charges
 
    Announces a $200 Million Vacation Ownership Receivables Securitization
 
    Affirms 2008 Guidance
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (May 1, 2008) — Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (NYSE:WYN) today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
FIRST QUARTER 2008 HIGHLIGHTS:
    First quarter 2008 revenues were $1.0 billion, with solid performance across the Company’s three businesses. Revenue growth was reduced, as expected, by the impact of $82 million in deferred vacation ownership revenue.
    Gross Vacation Ownership Interest sales increased 7% compared to the first quarter of 2007.
 
    System-wide revenue per available room (RevPAR) increased 2.7% in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007, while comparable RevPAR rose 2.2% compared to the first quarter of 2007.
 
    Lodging opened over 10,000 rooms in the first quarter of 2008, ending the quarter with a hotel pipeline of almost 107,000 rooms.
 
    Average number of vacation exchange members increased 5%, or 158,000 members, compared to the first quarter of 2007, reaching 3.6 million members.
 
    Average net price per vacation rental increased 18% for first quarter 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007, or 9% excluding the effect of currency translations.
    First quarter 2008 net income was $42 million or $0.24 diluted earnings per share. Adjusted net income excluding legacy and rebranding charges was $62 million or $0.35 adjusted diluted earnings per share. The Company had provided first quarter EPS guidance of $0.30-0.35.

 


 

    During the first quarter of 2008, Wyndham Worldwide repurchased approximately 520,000 shares. At March 31, 2008, approximately $155 million remained under the Company’s previously announced share repurchase program.
 
    On April 25, 2008, the Company priced a term securitization transaction involving the issuance of $200 million of investment grade asset-backed notes by Sierra Timeshare 2008-1 Receivables Funding, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of Wyndham Vacation Ownership. The transaction is expected to close on May 1, 2008.
“Wyndham Worldwide’s portfolio of resilient businesses and brands produced strong first-quarter results despite the challenging economic environment,” said Stephen P. Holmes, Wyndham Worldwide chairman and chief executive officer. “We are focused on our growth strategy while prudently managing costs, and we remain confident that our business model offers balance, strength and stability across economic cycles.”
FIRST QUARTER 2008 OPERATING RESULTS
Revenues for the first quarter of 2008 were $1.0 billion, flat compared to the first quarter of 2007, reflecting the expected impact of $82 million in deferred vacation ownership revenue recorded under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Excluding the net effect of deferred revenues in both periods, adjusted revenues would have grown 9%.
Net income for the first quarter of 2008 was $42 million or $0.24 diluted earnings per share, compared to $86 million or $0.45 diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2007.
Excluding $3 million in after-tax net expense from the resolution of, and adjustment to, certain legacy items and a $17 million after-tax, non-cash charge due to the Company’s initiative to rebrand its vacation ownership trademarks to the Wyndham brand, adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2008 would have been $62 million, or $0.35 adjusted diluted earnings per share (such amounts are not adjusted for the impact of the increase in deferred revenues).
Excluding $4 million after-tax of separation and related costs and excluding $9 million in after-tax net benefit from the resolution of, and adjustment to, certain legacy items, adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2007 would have been $81 million, or $0.43 adjusted diluted earnings per share.
BUSINESS UNIT RESULTS
Lodging (Wyndham Hotel Group)
Revenues increased 12% to $170 million in the first quarter of 2008 compared with the first quarter of 2007, reflecting increased property management reimbursable revenues and RevPAR gains. System-wide RevPAR increased 2.7% in the first quarter of 2008,

 


 

while comparable RevPAR increased 2.2% over the prior year period, led by RevPAR gains in the international portfolio.
For the quarter, Ramada, Super 8 and Days Inn, which collectively represent over 70% of the Company’s U.S. lodging portfolio, achieved domestic RevPAR growth above their competitive sets.
Property management reimbursable revenues were $27 million and marketing/reservation revenues, including TripRewards revenues, were $62 million in the first quarter of 2008, compared to $16 million and $61 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2007; these items contribute little, if any, EBITDA.
First quarter 2008 EBITDA grew to $46 million compared to $45 million in the first quarter of 2007. The EBITDA growth was tempered by the timing of approximately $5 million of incremental marketing expenses.
As of March 31, 2008, the Company’s hotel system consisted of approximately 551,100 rooms and 6,550 properties, with a development pipeline of approximately 930 hotels and approximately 107,000 rooms, of which 45% were new construction and 35% were international.
Vacation Exchange and Rentals (Group RCI)
Revenues increased to $341 million in the first quarter of 2008, a 9% increase compared with the first quarter of 2007, reflecting growth in vacation exchange and vacation rentals, including favorable currency translations. Excluding the favorable effect of currency translations of $16 million, revenues increased 4% compared to the first quarter of 2007.
Vacation exchange revenues were $137 million, up 1% compared to the first quarter of 2007, primarily driven by a 5% increase in the average number of members, partially offset by a 3% decrease in annual dues and exchange revenue per member, primarily related to the earlier Easter holiday, which shortened the prime booking season.
Vacation rentals revenues were $160 million, a 15% increase compared to the first quarter of 2007, or a 6% increase excluding the favorable effect of currency translations. These results reflect an 18% increase in the average net price per vacation rental, or 9% excluding favorable currency translations, primarily due to improved pricing and favorable mix in the Novasol and Landal brands, and the conversion of two existing Landal parks from franchised to managed properties.
Other ancillary revenues generated primarily from additional products and services provided to affiliates and members were $44 million in the first quarter of 2008, compared with $40 million in the first quarter of 2007.

 


 

First quarter 2008 EBITDA was $93 million, compared to first quarter 2007 EBITDA of $85 million. Excluding the favorable net effect of currency translations of $4 million, EBITDA increased $4 million compared to the first quarter of 2007.
Vacation Ownership (Wyndham Vacation Ownership)
Gross Vacation Ownership Interest sales (which are not affected by deferred revenues) were $458 million for the first quarter of 2008, up 7% compared to the first quarter of 2007. This increase was driven by marketing efforts resulting in increases in tour flow and volume per guest based on strong performance by our sales force, the opening of new sales locations and continued strength in transaction pricing.
Reported revenues were $504 million in the first quarter of 2008, an 8% decrease from the first quarter of 2007, resulting from higher levels of deferred revenue which more than offset continued success in marketing and sales, growing consumer finance revenues and incremental property management revenues.
First quarter 2008 revenues were reduced by $82 million as a result of deferred vacation ownership revenue recorded under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Including this deferred revenue and the recognition of $4 million of previously deferred revenue in the first quarter of 2007, first quarter 2008 adjusted vacation ownership revenues would have grown 8% over the prior year period.
For comparison purposes, the impact of deferred revenues in both periods is summarized as follows:

Consumer finance revenues increased $18 million to $99 million in the first quarter of 2008, up 22% compared to the first quarter of 2007, reflecting continued Vacation Ownership sales growth.
EBITDA for the first quarter of 2008 was $7 million, including a $28 million pre-tax ($17 million after-tax), non-cash charge due to the Wyndham rebranding initiative mentioned above, compared to $63 million in the first quarter of 2007, which included $3 million of separation and related costs. The decrease in EBITDA reflects a net reduction of approximately $40 million ($38 million reduction for 2008 and a $2 million increase from 2007) due to the increase in deferred vacation ownership revenue.
On April 25, 2008, the Company priced a term securitization transaction involving the issuance of $200 million of investment grade asset-backed notes by Sierra Timeshare

 


 

2008-1 Receivables Funding, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of Wyndham Vacation Ownership. The notes are backed by vacation ownership receivables originated by subsidiaries of Wyndham Vacation Ownership. The transaction is expected to close on May 1, 2008.
Other Items
Interest expense for the first quarter of 2008 was $19 million, a $1 million increase from the first quarter of 2007. Interest income for the quarter was $3 million, unchanged from the comparable prior year period. Depreciation and amortization rose $6 million to $44 million reflecting increased capital investments over the past twelve months.
Balance Sheet Information as of March 31, 2008:
    Cash and cash equivalents of approximately $230 million compared to approximately $210 million at December 31, 2007

OPERATING STATISTICS
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Lodging
Number of Rooms: Represents the number of rooms at lodging properties at the end of the period which are either (i) under franchise and/or management agreements, (ii) properties affiliated with Wyndham Hotels and Resorts brand for which we receive a fee for reservation and/or other services provided or (iii) properties managed under the CHI Limited joint venture.
Average Occupancy Rate: Represents the percentage of available rooms occupied during the period.
Average Daily Rate (ADR): Represents the average rate charged for renting a lodging room for one day.
RevPAR: Represents revenue per available room and is calculated by multiplying average occupancy rate by ADR. Comparable RevPAR represents RevPAR of hotels which are included in both periods.
Royalty, Marketing and Reservation Revenues: Royalty, marketing and reservation revenues are typically based on a percentage of the gross room revenues of each hotel. Royalty revenue is generally a fee charged to each franchised or managed hotel for the use of one of our trade names, while marketing and reservation revenues are fees that we collect and are contractually obligated to spend to support marketing and reservation activities. Marketing and reservation fees are also included in Table 4 within Marketing, Reservation and TripRewards Revenues.
Vacation Exchange and Rentals
Average Number of Members: Represents members in our vacation exchange programs who pay annual membership dues. For additional fees, such participants are entitled to exchange intervals for intervals at other properties affiliated with our vacation exchange business. In addition, certain participants may exchange intervals for other leisure-related products and services.
Annual Dues and Exchange Revenue Per Member: Represents total revenues from annual membership dues and exchange fees generated for the period divided by the average number of vacation exchange members during the year.
Vacation Rental Transactions: Represents the gross number of transactions that are generated in connection with customers booking their vacation rental stays through us. In our European vacation rentals businesses, one rental transaction is recorded each time a standard one-week rental is booked; however, in the United States, one rental transaction is recorded each time a vacation rental stay is booked, regardless of whether it is less than or more than one week.
Average Net Price Per Vacation Rental: Represents the net rental price generated from renting vacation properties to customers divided by the number of rental transactions.
Vacation Ownership
Gross Vacation Ownership Interest Sales: Represents gross sales of vacation ownership interests (including tele-sales upgrades, which are a component of upgrade sales) before deferred sales and loan loss provisions.
Tours: Represents the number of tours taken by guests in our efforts to sell vacation ownership interests.
Volume per Guest (VPG): Represents revenue per guest and is calculated by dividing the gross vacation ownership interest sales, excluding tele-sales upgrades, which are a component of upgrade sales, by the number of tours.

(a)   Information includes the acquisitions of Wyndham Hotels and Resorts (October 2005) and Baymont Inn & Suites (April 2006) from their acquisition dates forward. Therefore, the data is not presented on a comparable basis.
 
(b)   Numbers include affiliated hotels from the fourth quarter of 2006 forward.
 
(c)   Marketing and reservation revenues represent fees we receive from franchised and managed hotels that are to be expended for marketing purposes or the operation of a centralized, brand-specific reservation system. These fees are typically based on a percentage of the gross room revenues of each hotel. Marketing and reservation fees are also included in the above table within royalty, marketing and reservation revenues. TripRewards revenues represent fees we receive relating to our loyalty program.
 
(d)   Primarily represents payroll costs in our hotel management business that we incur and pay on behalf of property owners and for which we are reimbursed by the property owners.
 
(e)   Represents the revenue that is deferred under the percentage of completion method of accounting. Under the percentage of completion method of accounting, a portion of the total revenue from a vacation ownership contract sale is not recognized if the construction of the vacation resort has not yet been fully completed. This revenue will be recognized in future periods in proportion to the costs incurred as compared to the total expected costs for completion of construction of the vacation resort. Positive amounts represent the recognition of previously deferred revenues.
 
(f)   Represents provision for estimated losses on vacation ownership contract receivables originated during the period. Beginning January 1, 2006, the Company recorded such provision as a contra revenue to vacation ownership interest sales on the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income, as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions.” Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company recorded such provision, net of estimated inventory recoveries, as a separate expense line item on the Combined Statements of Income and thus 2005 amounts are not comparable to 2006, 2007 and 2008 amounts.
