Marriott Vacations Worldwide Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results
ORLANDO, Fla. – July 31, 2024 – Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: VAC) (“MVW,” the “Company,” “we” or “our”) reported second quarter 2024 financial results.
Second Quarter 2024 Highlights
- Consolidated Vacation Ownership contract sales declined 1% compared to the second quarter of 2023 to $449 million. Excluding Maui, contract sales increased 3% compared to the prior year.
- The Company recorded a $70 million increase to its sales reserve reflecting higher expected future defaults on its existing vacation ownership notes receivable portfolio.
- Net income attributable to common stockholders was $37 million compared to $90 million in the prior year, and fully diluted earnings per share was $0.98. Net income attributable to common stockholders reflects a $45 million impact of the higher sales reserve.
- Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders was $42 million compared to $90 million in the prior year, and adjusted fully diluted earnings per share was $1.10.
- Adjusted EBITDA decreased 29% compared to the prior year to $157 million reflecting a $57 million net increase to the Company’s sales reserve.
- The Company updates its full-year outlook.
“We had a mixed second quarter, with rentals exceeding our expectations and lower VPGs negatively impacting our contract sales. In addition, we have not seen the necessary improvements in our loan delinquencies, so we increased our sales reserves to reflect higher expected defaults,” said John Geller, president and chief executive officer. “Demand for travel remains strong with our resorts running 90% occupancy in the second quarter, tours increasing 5% and owner VPG’s flat compared to last year. However, first time buyer VPGs declined versus last year and Maui is recovering slower than our original expectations. As a result, we adjusted our contract sales guidance for the second half of the year.”
