ORLANDO, Fla. – September 19, 2017 – Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: VAC) provided an update today on the anticipated impact of Hurricane Irma on its operations.

“Our deepest and heartfelt thoughts go out to those who have been impacted by Hurricane Irma, and our first priority has been the safety and security of our owners, guests and associates,” commented Steve Weisz, Marriott Vacations Worldwide’s president and chief executive officer. “As the storm has passed and their safety assured, we have turned our focus to the continued operations of our properties that were in Irma’s path. While our St. Thomas resorts are not expected to be at full operations for some time, we have made great progress getting our other impacted resorts and operations open. I am very proud of our team for how they have handled this difficult time, and we are continuing to move forward on our remediation efforts, including working with our insurers on property and business interruption claims.”

The company is still in the process of assessing the impact on its operations resulting from Hurricane Irma. However, the company expects that mandatory evacuations, shutdowns and cancellations of reservations and scheduled tours resulting from Hurricane Irma will adversely impact sales operations at several of its locations, primarily those located on St. Thomas (USVI), in Florida and on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. The company also expects rental and ancillary revenues will be impacted adversely across these locations. As of today, all of the impacted resorts and sales centers have re-opened, either fully or partially, except for the company’s two resorts and sales center on St. Thomas, one resort and sales center in each of three locations in Florida (Singer Island, Marco Island and Ft. Lauderdale), and two resorts on Hilton Head Island. The company expects all of its resorts and sales centers will be fully or partially open by the end of September, except for its two resorts and a sales center on St. Thomas. The company is not currently in a position to predict when its resorts and sales center on St. Thomas will reopen.

The company previously provided updated full year 2017 financial guidance on August 3, 2017 in connection with its second quarter earnings release. Prior to Hurricane Irma, the company expected its results would have been within such guidance. Based on its preliminary assessments of the impacts of Hurricane Irma and currently available information, however, the company expects that its 2017 contract sales and rental and ancillary revenues could be negatively impacted by approximately $16 million to $20 million and $2 million to $3 million, respectively. Further, the company expects its 2017 net income, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income could be negatively impacted by approximately $6 million to $8 million, $6 million to $8 million and $4 million to $6 million, respectively. In addition, the company expects both its 2017 net cash provided by operating activities and adjusted free cash flow could be negatively impacted by approximately $10 million to $13 million. Non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted free cash flow, are reconciled and adjustments are shown and described in further detail in Appendix A that follows.

The company expects a portion of the adverse impact to its contract sales and rental and ancillary revenues will be mitigated through business interruption insurance; however, it cannot quantify the extent of any such mitigation at this time, and any business interruption insurance income would most likely not be recognized in 2017.

The company is also still estimating the impact of the property damage to all of its resorts; however, it expects any significant damage to the resorts will be covered by property insurance and that any remaining costs and deductibles will not have a material impact on the company’s results or the relevant owners associations.
