Wyndham Worldwide Reports First Quarter 2010 Earnings
Results Exceed Expectations
Increases Full-Year Guidance
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (April 28, 2010) – Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (NYSE:WYN) today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS:
  Adjusted first quarter 2010 diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.34, compared with Company-issued guidance of $0.27 — $0.32.
 
  Reported first quarter 2010 diluted EPS was $0.27, compared with $0.25 in the first quarter of 2009.
 
  Free cash flow, which the Company defines as net cash from operations less capital expenditures, equity investments and development advances, increased 7% to $166 million in the first quarter of 2010, compared with $155 million during the same period in 2009.
 
  For the quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 757,000 shares of its common stock at an average price of $24.20. The repurchase program was reactivated on February 19, 2010.
 
  As previously announced, the Company tripled its quarterly dividend, paying its first dividend at the $0.12 per share level on March 15, 2010.
“Each of our three business units met or exceeded expectations in the first quarter, delivering terrific results while continuing to generate strong free cash flow. We are seeing great momentum at Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, with our flagship brand gaining significant market presence this year. Wyndham Exchange & Rentals continues to deliver stable, fee-for-service results from two fantastic business models, and Wyndham Vacation Ownership is performing better than ever, reflecting transformational changes implemented over the past 18 months,” said Stephen P. Holmes, chairman and CEO, Wyndham Worldwide. “We are sharply focused to execute on our growth opportunities, not only as the economy recovers, but well into the future.”

 


 

FIRST QUARTER 2010 OPERATING RESULTS
First quarter revenues of $886 million declined 2% from the prior-year period, due to the fact that first quarter 2009 revenues included a $67 million benefit from the recognition of revenues previously deferred under the percentage-of-completion (POC) accounting method associated with the Company’s Vacation Ownership business. Excluding the effects of the POC method of accounting and favorable foreign currency of $12 million, adjusted revenue grew by 5%. The Company has decided to alter its business approach so that POC deferred revenue is eliminated going forward.
Reported net income for the first quarter of 2010 grew 11% to $50 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared with net income of $45 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2009.
Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2010 was $64 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared with $74 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2009. The 2010 results reflect the absence of deferred revenues from the POC method of accounting included in 2009 and higher interest expense.
Excluded from the first quarter of 2010 adjusted net income are after-tax costs of $10 million associated with the early extinguishment of debt, $3 million of expenses related to the acquisition of Hoseasons Holdings Ltd. and $1 million of legacy expenses. Excluded from the first quarter of 2009 adjusted net income are after-tax costs of $27 million related to restructuring and $2 million of legacy expenses.
BUSINESS UNIT RESULTS
Lodging (Wyndham Hotel Group)
Revenues were $144 million in the first quarter of 2010, a decline of 6% compared with the first quarter of 2009, primarily reflecting a decline in RevPAR of 6.8% or 8.7% in constant currency.
First quarter 2010 EBITDA was $33 million compared with $38 million of adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2009, which excluded $3 million of restructuring costs. The decrease reflects the decline in RevPAR, which was partially offset by expense reductions.
As of March 31, 2010, the Company’s hotel system consisted of approximately 7,090 properties and 593,300 rooms, of which 22% were international. The development pipeline included approximately 910 hotels and 106,500 rooms, of which 53% were new construction and 45% were international.

 


 

Vacation Exchange and Rentals (Wyndham Exchange & Rentals)
Revenues were $300 million in the first quarter of 2010, a 5% increase compared with the first quarter of 2009. In constant currency, revenues were flat.
Exchange revenues were $189 million, a 2% increase compared with the first quarter of 2009. In constant currency, exchange revenues were flat compared with the first quarter of 2009, reflecting relatively flat performance in exchange revenue per member and average number of members.
Vacation rental revenues were $105 million, a 9% increase compared with the first quarter of 2009. In constant currency, vacation rental revenues increased 2% compared with the first quarter of 2009, reflecting the acquisition of UK rental brand Hoseasons, which closed in March.
First quarter 2010 Exchange and Rentals adjusted EBITDA was $84 million, which excluded $4 million of costs related to the Hoseasons acquisition, compared with $80 million in the first quarter of 2009, which excluded $4 million of restructuring costs. Excluding a favorable net effect of foreign currency of $2 million, first quarter 2010 adjusted EBITDA increased 3% compared with the first quarter of 2009.
Vacation Ownership (Wyndham Vacation Ownership)
Gross Vacation Ownership Interest (VOI) sales were $308 million in the first quarter of 2010, up 10% from the first quarter of 2009, reflecting an increase of 25% in volume per guest, partially offset by a 10% decrease in tour flow consistent with the Company’s planned restructuring of the business.
Total segment revenues were $444 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared with $462 million in the first quarter of 2009, which included the recognition of $67 million of previously deferred POC revenues. This unfavorable impact was partially offset by the increase in gross VOI sales and a reduction in the provision for loan losses of $21 million, primarily related to improved credit metrics of the portfolio.
EBITDA for the first quarter of 2010 was $82 million, compared with adjusted EBITDA of $79 million in the first quarter of 2009, which excluded $35 million of restructuring costs. Excluding an estimated $31 million impact from the POC method of accounting in the first quarter of 2009, first quarter 2010 adjusted EBITDA increased 71%, reflecting the increase in gross VOI sales and the lower provision for loan losses.

    Interest expense in the first quarter of 2010 was $50 million, an increase of $31 million from the first quarter of 2009, reflecting a $16 million charge primarily related to the early extinguishment of the Company’s term loan facility in March 2010 and higher interest expense related to long-term debt issuances in May 2009 and February 2010.
 
    On March 29, 2010, the Company closed on a new $950 million revolving credit facility, which matures October 1, 2013.

A schedule of debt is included in the financial tables section of this press release.
Outlook
The Company increased full-year 2010 guidance:
    Revenues increased to $3.6 – $3.9 billion from $3.5 – $3.9 billion
 
    Adjusted EBITDA increased to $805 – $840 million from $775 – $825 million
 
    Adjusted diluted EPS increased to $1.56 – $1.71 from $1.48 – $1.69
For the second quarter of 2010, the Company expects adjusted diluted EPS of $0.38 – $0.42 based on weighted average shares of 189 million.
The guidance reflects assumptions used for internal planning purposes. All guidance excludes legacy items, restructuring costs, debt extinguishment and acquisition costs, if any, which may have a positive or negative impact on reported results. If economic conditions change materially from current levels, these assumptions and our guidance may change materially.

OPERATING RESULTS OF REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
(In millions)
In addition to other measures, management evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable segments based upon net revenues and “EBITDA,” which is defined as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense (excluding consumer financing interest), interest income (excluding consumer financing interest) and income taxes, each of which is presented on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company believes that EBITDA is a useful measure of performance for the Company’s industry segments which, when considered with GAAP measures, the Company believes gives a more complete understanding of its operating performance. The Company’s presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
The following tables summarize net revenues and EBITDA for reportable segments, as well as reconcile EBITDA to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:

(b)   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.
 
(c)   Represents provision for estimated losses on vacation ownership contract receivables originated during the period, which is recorded as a contra revenue to vacation ownership interest sales on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

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 the Wyndham Hotels and Resorts brand for which we receive a fee for reservation and/or other services provided or (iii) properties managed under a 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.
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.
Exchange Revenue Per Member: Represents total revenue generated from fees associated with memberships, exchange transactions, member-related rentals and other servicing for the period divided by the average number of vacation exchange members during the period.
Vacation Rental Transactions: Represents the number of transactions that are generated in connection with customers booking their vacation rental stays through us. One rental transaction is recorded each time a standard one-week rental is booked.
Average Net Price Per Vacation Rental: Represents the net rental price generated from renting vacation properties and other related rental servicing fees to customers divided by the number of vacation rental transactions.
Vacation Ownership
Gross Vacation Ownership Interest Sales: Represents total sales of vacation ownership interest (VOIs), including Wyndham Asset Affiliation Model sales, before the net effect of percentage-of-completion accounting and loan loss provisions. See Table 9 for a reconciliation of Gross VOI sales to Vacation Ownership Interest Sales. We believe that Gross VOI sales provides 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 vacation ownership interests.
Volume per Guest (VPG): Represents gross VOI sales (excluding tele-sales upgrades, which are non-tour upgrade sales) divided by the number of tours. We have excluded non-tour upgrade sales in the calculation of VPG because non-tour upgrade sales are generated by a different marketing channel. See Table 9 for a detail of tele-sales upgrades for 2007-2010. We believe that VPG provides an enhanced understanding of the performance of our vacation ownership business because it directly measures the efficiency of this business’ tour selling efforts during a given reporting period.
General
Constant Currency: Represents comparison eliminating the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations between periods.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(In millions)
FREE CASH FLOW
The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures, equity investments and development advances, excluding cash payments related to the Company’s contingent tax liabilities that it assumed and is responsible for pursuant to its separation from Cendant. The Company considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that, after the acquisition of property and equipment, equity investments and hotel development advances, can be used for strategic opportunities, including making acquisitions, paying dividends, repurchasing the Company’s common stock and strengthening the balance sheet. Analysis of free cash flow also facilitates management’s comparisons of the Company’s operating results to its competitors’ operating results. A limitation of using free cash flow versus the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities as a means for evaluating Wyndham Worldwide is that free cash flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance from operations for the period.
The following table provides more details on the GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measure and the related reconciliation between these financial measures:

(*)   Represents the Company’s fee-for-service vacation ownership sales model designed to capitalize upon the large quantities of newly developed, nearly completed or recently finished condominium or hotel inventory within the current real estate market without assuming the investment that accompanies new construction. The Company offers turn-key solutions for developers or banks in possession of newly developed inventory, which it will sell for a commission fee through its extensive sales and marketing channels. The commission revenue earned on these sales is included in service fees and membership revenues on the Consolidated Statement of Income.
The following represents tele-sales upgrades, which are excluded from Gross VOI sales in the Company’s VPG calculation (see Table 3):
