HILTON GRAND VACATIONS INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: Organization and Basis of Presentation

Our Business

Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (“Hilton Grand Vacations,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “HGV” or the “Company”) is a global timeshare company engaged in developing, marketing, selling and managing timeshare resorts primarily under the Hilton Grand Vacations brand. During 2021, we also acquired Diamond Resorts and are in the process of rebranding Diamond properties and sales centers to brands that meet Hilton standards. Our operations, which primarily consist of:of selling vacation ownership intervals (“VOIs”and vacation ownership interests (collectively, “VOIs”, “VOI”) for us and third parties; financing and servicing loans provided to consumers for their timeshare purchases; operating resorts;resorts and multi-resort trusts; and managing our points-based Hilton Grand Vacations Club and Hilton Club exchange program (collectively the “Club”“Legacy-HGV Club”) and Diamond points-based clubs (the Legacy-HGV Club and Diamond Clubs are collectively referred to as “Clubs”).

As of March 31, 2021,2022, we had 62154 properties comprised of 499,616 VOIs, located in the United States (“U.S.”), Japan,Europe, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Italy, BarbadosCaribbean, Canada and Mexico.Japan. A significant number of our properties and VOIs are concentrated in Florida, Nevada, Hawaii, Nevada, New York,Europe, California, Virginia and South Carolina.Arizona.

Diamond Acquisition

On August 2, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Dakota Holdings, Inc., the parent of Diamond Resorts International (the “Diamond Acquisition”). We completed the acquisition by exchanging 100 percent of the outstanding equity interests of Diamond for shares of HGV common stock. Pre-existing HGV shareholders owned approximately 72 percent of the combined company immediately after giving effect of the Diamond Acquisition, with certain funds controlled by Apollo Global Management Inc. (the "Apollo Funds" or, "Apollo") and other minority shareholders, who previously owned 100 percent of Diamond, holding the remaining, approximately 28 percent at the time the Diamond Acquisition was completed.

Diamond also operates in the hospitality and VOI industry, with a worldwide resort network of global vacation destinations. Diamond’s portfolio consists of resort properties that we manage, are included in one of Diamond's single- and multi-use trusts (collectively, the "Diamond Collections" or "Collections"), or are Diamond branded resorts in which we own inventory, as well as affiliated resorts and hotels, which we do not manage, and which do not carry the Diamond brand but are a part of Diamond's network and, through THE Club® and other Club offerings (the “Diamond Clubs”), are available for its members to use as vacation destinations.

Diamond’s operations primarily consist of: VOI sales and financing which includes marketing and sales of VOIs and consumer financing for purchasers of the Company's VOIs; operations related to the management of the homeowners associations (the “HOAs”) for resort properties and the Diamond Collections, operating and managing points-based vacation clubs, and operation of certain resort amenities and management services.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this report include Diamond’s results of operations beginning on August 2, 2021. We refer to Diamond's business and operations that we acquired as "Legacy-Diamond", and our business and operations that existed both prior to and following the Diamond Acquisition as "Legacy-HGV." See Note 2: 3: Diamond Acquisition for more information.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include 100 percent of our assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows as well as all entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. In our opinion, theOur accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Although we believe the disclosures made are adequate to prevent information presented from being misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2021.2022.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and, accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance.

ImpactThe determination of a controlling financial interest is based upon the terms of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic that started in early 2020 significantly negatively impacted the hospitality, travel and leisure industries due to various mandates and orders to close non-essential businesses, impose travel restrictions, require “stay-at-home” and/or self-quarantine, and require similar actions. Such restrictions and directives have resulted in cancellations and significant reductions in travel around the world and caused various other negative global economic conditions. In response to these events, we closed substantially all of our resorts and sales centers during early 2020, but began a phased reopening of resorts and resumption of our business activities during the second quarter 2020 under new operating guidelines and with enhanced safety measures as mandates and orders for business closures, quarantine and travel restrictions began to ease. With the anticipated continuationgoverning agreements of the pandemic receding,respective entities, including the evaluation of rights held by other interests. If the entity is considered to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”), we determine whether we are the primary beneficiary, and then consolidate those VIEs for which we have determined we are the primary beneficiary. If the entity in which we hold an interest does not meet the definition of a VIE, we evaluate whether we have a controlling financial interest through our voting interests in the entity. We consolidate entities when we own more than 50 percent of the voting shares of a company or otherwise have a controlling financial interest. The consolidated financial statements reflect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as well as COVID-19 vaccinations becoming more widespread, such mandatesprepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to ease, resulting in consumer confidence increasingcontracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or by another reference rate expected to resume normal activities, including travel and leisure, and more businesses to continue to resume operations. Accordingly, the positive trends in leisure travel and stays at our properties have continued. For example,be discontinued. The guidance was effective as of March 31, 2021, we have approximately 80 percent of our resorts and nearly all of our sales centers open and currently operating, although many are operating in markets with various capacity constraints, social distancing requirements and other safety measures, which are impacting consumer demand for resorts in those markets. We plan to continue to reopen our resorts and resume our normal business as conditions permit, but there can be no assurance that such positive trends will continue or that there will not be any increases of new infections or new variants that may impede or reverse recovery and such positive trends.


In response to the impact of COVID-19, we took a variety of actions in12, 2020 and to date in 2021 to ensure the continuity of our business and operations and to secure our liquidity position to provide financial flexibility. These actions include amending certain financial covenant ratios in the fourth quarter of 2020will apply through the third quarter of 2021, as may be needed due to the ongoing and uncertain future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations. We also furloughed team members beginning in the second quarter of 2020 and completed a workforce reduction plan in the fourth quarter of 2020 that impacted approximately 1,500 team members.December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2021, 1,100 team members2022, certain debt and non-recourse debt instruments, including swaps, continue to be furloughed.

Priorreference LIBOR. We have included transition language within our amended instruments that would allow for the replacement of LIBOR once an appropriate alternative has been determined. To the extent that any reference rate changes from LIBOR, we may choose to re-opening our resorts and sales centers, we introducedutilize the HGV Enhanced Care Guidelines, designed to provide owners, guests and team members with the highest level of cleaning protocols and safety standards recommended by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and cleaning solutions approved by the Environmental Protection Agency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

While we hope that conditions in the hospitality and travel industriesrelief set forth within ASU 2020-04. We continue to reflectevaluate the improvement thateffect of this ASU, but we saw during the March travel season, the pandemic continuesdo not expect it to be unprecedented and rapidly changing, and has unknown duration and severity. Further, various state and local government officials may issue new or revised orders that are different than current ones under which we are operating. Accordingly, there remains significant uncertainty as to the degree of continuing impact and duration of the conditions stemming from the ongoing pandemic on our revenues, net income and other operating results, as well as our business and operations generally.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted Accounting Standards

On January 1, 2021 we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2019-12 (“ASU 2019-12”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 simplifies various aspects related to accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statementsstatements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-02 (“ASU 2022-02”), Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. ASU 2022-02 provides, under Issue 2 - Vintage Disclosures, that an entity discloses current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. For financing receivables, the disclosure is to present the amortized cost basis by credit quality indicator and class of financing receivable for the year of origination. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years and is to be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the effects of this ASU to our disclosures.

Note 3: Diamond Acquisition

On August 2, 2021, (the “Acquisition Date”), we completed the Diamond Acquisition by exchanging 100 percent of the outstanding equity interests of Diamond to HGV common shares. Following the closing of the Diamond Acquisition, pre-existing HGV shareholders owned approximately 72 percent of the combined company after giving effect to the Diamond Acquisition, with Apollo Funds and other minority shareholders holding the remaining approximately 28 percent at the time the Diamond Acquisition was completed. Diamond is a leader in the vacation ownership industry focused on the infusion of hospitality and experiences through the full life cycle of an owner or members' life cycle relationship with Diamond. This strategic combination creates a more expansive industry offering, leveraging HGV's strong brand and net owner growth along with Diamond's diverse network of locations and strength in experiential offerings. The acquisition also diversifies our product offerings and allows us to expand our customer demographic.

On the Acquisition Date, shareholders of Diamond received 0.32 shares of our common stock for each share of Diamond common stock, totaling approximately 28 percent of our total common shares outstanding. Additionally, in connection with the Diamond Acquisition, HGV repaid certain existing indebtedness of Diamond.

Preliminary Fair Values of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

We accounted for the Diamond Acquisition as a business combination, which requires us to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the Acquisition Date. The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which are presented in the table below, and the related disclosures.preliminary acquisition accounting are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as information compiled by management, including the books and records of Diamond. Our estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the Acquisition Date. The magnitude of the Diamond Acquisition could necessitate the need to use the full one-year measurement period to adequately analyze and assess a number of the factors used in establishing the asset and liability fair values as of the Acquisition Date. The final values may also result in changes to amortization expense related to intangible assets and depreciation expense related to property and equipment, among other changes. Any potential adjustments made could be material in relation to the values presented in the table below.

As of March 31, 2022, the primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized include the following: (1) finalizing the review and valuation of acquired intangible assets and assigning the useful lives to such assets; (2) finalizing the review and valuation of acquired undeveloped land, property and equipment (including key assumptions, inputs and estimates) and assigning the remaining useful lives to the depreciable assets; (3) finalizing the review of accounts receivable, including the evaluation of which receivables are purchased credit deteriorated; (4) finalizing the valuation of certain in-place contracts or contractual relationships (including but not limited to leases), including determining the appropriate amortization period; (5) finalizing the review and valuation of other acquired assets and assumed liabilities; and (6) finalizing our estimate of the impact of purchase accounting on deferred income tax liabilities.

(1) Goodwill is calculated as total consideration transferred less net assets acquired and it primarily represents the value that we expect to obtain from synergies and growth opportunities from our combined Company post-acquisition. The majority of goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The measurement period adjustments recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 resulted from changes to our estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on a revision to our valuation of insurance receivables given the ultimate determination of proceeds related to pre-acquisition business interruption insurance claims. The measurement period adjustments recognized include an adjustment to increase accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, for pre-acquisition contingencies, and the related tax impacts increasing deferred income tax liabilities. These resulted in a net adjustment to goodwill for the period of $26 million. The net income effect associated with the measurement period adjustments during the year ended March 31, 2022 were immaterial.

Timeshare Financing Receivables

We acquired timeshare financing receivables which consist of loans to customers who purchased vacation ownership products and chose to finance their purchases. These timeshare financing receivables are collateralized by the underlying VOIs and generally have 10-year amortizing repayment terms. We estimated the fair value of the timeshare financing receivables using a discounted cash flow model, which calculated a present value of expected future risk-adjusted cash flows over the remaining term of the respective timeshare financing receivables. We are continuing to evaluate the significant assumptions underlying the discounted cash flow model including default and prepayment assumptions, which could result in changes to our preliminary estimate. We do not expect any material changes to the provisional estimates.

For purposes of our initial allocation, we have considered all acquired receivables to be purchase credit deteriorated. See Note 7: Timeshare Financing Receivables for additional information.

Inventory

We acquired inventory which primarily consists of completed unsold VOIs and undeveloped land. We preliminarily estimated the value of acquired inventory using a discounted cash flows method, which included an estimate of cash flows expected to be generated from the sale of VOIs. Significant estimates and assumptions impacting the fair value of the acquired inventory that are subjective and/or require complex judgments include our estimates of operating costs and margins, and the discount rate. Certain other estimates and assumptions impacting the fair value of the acquired inventory involving less subjective and/or less complex judgments include: short-term and long-term revenue growth rates, capital expenditures, tax rates and other factors impacting the discounted cash flows. We are continuing to assess the market assumptions and property conditions, which could result in changes to these preliminary values. We do not expect any material changes to the provisional estimates for completed and unsold VOIs.

Property and Equipment

We acquired property and equipment, which includes land, building and leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures and construction in progress. We preliminarily estimated the value of the majority of property and equipment using a mix of cost, market and discounted cash flow approaches, which included estimates of future income growth, capitalization rates, discount rates, and capital expenditure needs of the resorts. Certain property and equipment assets were preliminarily valued at carrying value, which is our best estimate of fair value at this time given the information available to us. We are continuing to assess the market assumptions and property conditions, which could result in changes to these preliminary values.

Goodwill

We recognized goodwill of approximately $1.4 billion in connection with the Diamond Acquisition. We have allocated the acquired goodwill to our segments, Real Estate Sales and Financing and Resort Operations and Club Management, as indicated in the table below. Our allocations may change throughout the measurement period as we continue to finalize the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Diamond Acquisition.

We estimated the fair value of Diamond’s trade name using the relief-from-royalty method, which applies an estimated royalty rate to forecasted future cash flows, discounted to present value. We estimated the value of management contracts and member relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a variation of the income approach. This method estimates an intangible asset’s value based on the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the intangible asset. Significant estimates and assumptions impacting the fair value of the acquired management contracts intangible that are subjective and/or require complex judgments include our estimates of operating costs and margins, and

10


the discount rate. Certain other estimates and assumptions impacting the fair value of the acquired management contracts intangible involving less subjective and/or less complex judgments include: short-term and long-term revenue growth rates, attrition rates, capital expenditures, tax rates and other factors impacting the discounted cash flows. We continue to review Diamond’s contracts and historical performance in addition to evaluating the assumptions impacting the estimated values of such intangible assets and their respective useful lives, including the discount rate applied to the estimated cash flows and renewal and growth estimates and expected margins, which could result in changes to these preliminary values. We do not expect any material changes to the provisional estimates for trade names, management contracts, and club member relationships, other than as a result of working capital adjustments.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily relates to deferred sales incentives revenues, primarily related to Bonus Points, which are deferred and recognized upon redemption; and Club membership fees, which are deferred and recognized over the terms of the applicable contract term or membership on a straight-line basis. Additionally, deferred revenue includes maintenance fees collected from owners, in certain cases, which are earned by the relevant property owners' association over the applicable period. We preliminarily estimated the fair value of the deferred revenue at the carrying value of such liabilities as of the Acquisition Date. We continue to review Diamond’s contracts, which could result in changes to the preliminary estimate. We do not expect any material changes to the provisional estimates.

Deferred Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes primarily relate to the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired from Diamond, including timeshare financing receivables, inventory, property and equipment, intangible assets, and debt. We preliminarily estimated deferred income taxes based on statutory rates in the jurisdictions of the legal entities where the acquired assets and liabilities are recorded. We are continuing to assess the tax rates used, and we will update our estimate of deferred income taxes based on changes to our preliminary valuations of the related assets and liabilities and refinement of the effective tax rates, which could result in changes to these preliminary values.

Debt

As part of the acquisition and consideration transferred, we paid off $2,029 million of Diamond’s existing corporate debt, accrued interest and early termination penalties.

Non-Recourse Debt

We estimated the fair value of the securitized debt from VIEs and warehouse loan facilities, using a discounted cash flow model under the income approach. The significant assumptions in our analysis include default rates, prepayment rates, bond interest rates and other structural factors. We are continuing to evaluate the significant assumptions underlying the discounted cash flow model including default and prepayment assumptions, which could result in changes to our preliminary estimate. We do not expect any material changes to the provisional estimates.

Lease Obligations

We have recorded a preliminary estimate of the liability for those operating leases assumed in connection with the Diamond Acquisition with a remaining term in excess of a year. We measured the lease liabilities assumed at the present value of the remaining contractual lease payments based on the guidance in ASC 842 and using a discount rate determined as of the Acquisition Date. The right-of-use assets for such leases were initially measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted for favorable or unfavorable terms of the lease when compared with market terms. A small number of operating lease right of use assets and lease liabilities were preliminarily estimated at carrying value. We continue to assess the market assumptions, which could result in changes to our preliminary estimate.

Pro Forma Results of Operations

The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined results of operations of HGV and Diamond as if we had completed the Diamond Acquisition on January 1, 2021, the first day of our prior fiscal year, but using our preliminary fair values of assets and liabilities as of the Acquisition Date. These unaudited pro forma results do not reflect any synergies from operating efficiencies. Accordingly, these unaudited pro forma results are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of the combined company would have been if the Diamond Acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, nor are they indicative of future results of operations.

(1)

Amounts related to the Club Bonus Point incentive liability are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. This liability is comprised of unrecognized revenue for incentives from VOI sales and sales and marketing expenses in conjunction with our fee-for-service arrangements.

Revenue earned for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 that was included in the contract liabilities balance at December 31, 20202021 was approximately $35$44 million.

Our accounts receivables that relate to our contracts with customers includes amounts associated with our contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations related primarily to our fee-for-service arrangements and homeowners’ associations (“HOA”) management agreements and are settled when the related cash is received. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional and is only contingent on the passage of time. Refer to Note 6: 7: Timeshare Financing Receivables for information on balances and changes in balances during the period related to our timeshare financing receivables.

Contract assets relate to incentive fees that can be earned for meeting certain targets on sales of VOIs at properties under our fee-for-service arrangements; however, our right to consideration is conditional upon completing the requirements of the annual incentive fee period. There were 0 contract assets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Contract liabilities include payments received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations. Such contract liabilities include advance deposits received on prepaid vacation packages for future stays at our resorts, deferred revenues related to sales of VOIs of projects under construction, clubClub activation fees and annual dues and the liability for Club Bonus Points awarded to our customers for purchase of VOIs at our properties or properties under our fee-for-service arrangements that may be redeemed in the future.

In addition to the contract liabilities included herein, we also have deferred revenue of $159 million and $112 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. This additional deferred revenue balance includes $50 million and $51 million for bonus points and marketing package deferred revenue, $30 million and $10 million in deferred property insurance, $38 million and $14 million in deferred maintenance fees and $41 million and $37 million in other deferred revenue as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contract revenue that has not yet been recognized. Our contracts with remaining performance obligations primarily include (i) sales of VOIs under construction, (ii) Legacy-HGV Club activation fees paid at closing of a VOI purchase, (iii) customers’ advanced deposits on prepaid vacation packages and (iv) Club Bonus Points that may be redeemed in the future.

Our accounts receivable are all due within one year of origination. We use delinquency status and economic factors such as credit quality indicators to monitor our receivables within the scope of ASC 326 and use these as a basis for how we develop our expected loss estimates.


We sell VOIs on behalf of third-party developers using the Hilton Grand Vacations brand in exchange for sales, marketing and brand fees. We use historical losses and economic factors as a basis to develop our allowance for credit losses. Under these fee-for-service arrangements, we earn commission fees based on a percentage of total interval sales. Additionally, the terms of these arrangements include provisions requiring the reduction of fees earned for defaults and cancellations.

The changes in our allowance for fee-for-service commissions were as follows:follows during the period from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022:

As of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, we had timeshare financing receivables with a carrying value of $15$159 million and $17$131 million, respectively, securing the Timeshare Facility and two additional conduit facilities in anticipation of future financing activities.We record an estimate of variable consideration for estimated defaults as a reduction of revenue from VOI sales at the time revenue is recognized on a VOI sale. We record the difference between the timeshare financing receivable and the variable consideration included in the transaction price for the sale of the related VOI as an allowance for financing receivables and record the receivable net of the allowance. In March 2020, we recorded an incremental $23 million revenue reduction related to the changes in estimates primarily driven by economic factors surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. For the three months ended March 31, 20212022, we recorded an adjustment to our estimate of variable consideration of $16$31 million.

We recognize interest income on our timeshare financing receivables as earned. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we hadinterest receivable outstanding of $10 million and $9 million, respectively, on our originated timeshare financing receivables, which represent all Legacy-HGV timeshare financing receivables and timeshare financing receivables originated by Legacy-Diamond subsequent to the Acquisition Date. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had interest receivable outstanding of $6 million and $7 million on our acquired timeshare financing receivables, which represents all timeshare financing receivables of Legacy-Diamond as of the Acquisition Date. Interest receivable is included in Other Assets within our balance sheets. The interest rate charged on the notes correlates to the risk profile of the customer at the time of purchase and the percentage of the purchase that is financed, among other factors. As of March 31, 2022, our originated timeshare financing receivables had interest rates ranging from 1.5 percent to 25.8 percent, a weighted-average interest rate of 13.6 percent, a weighted-average remaining term of 8 years and maturities through 2037. Our acquired timeshare financing receivables had interest rates ranging from 2 percent to 25 percent, a weighted-average interest rate of 15.7 percent, a weighted-average remaining term of 7.8 years and maturities through 2032.

Acquired Timeshare Financing Receivables with Credit Deterioration

As part of the Diamond Acquisition, we acquired existing portfolios of timeshare financing receivables. Acquired timeshare financing receivables include all timeshare financing receivables of Legacy-Diamond as of the Acquisition Date and were deemed to be purchase credit deteriorated financial assets. These notes receivable were initially recognized at their purchase price, represented by the acquisition date fair value, and subsequently “grossed- up” by our acquisition date assessment of the allowance for credit losses. The difference over which par value of the acquired purchased credit deteriorated assets exceeds the purchase price plus the initial allowance for credit losses is reflected as a non-credit premium and is amortized as a reduction to interest income under the effective interest method.

The fair value of our acquired timeshare financing receivables as of the Acquisition Date was determined using a discounted cash flow method, which calculated a present value of expected future cash flows based on scheduled principal and interest payments over the term of the respective timeshare financing receivables, while considering anticipated defaults and early repayments based on historical experience. Consequently, the fair value of the acquired timeshare financing

15


receivables recorded on our balance sheet as of the Acquisition Date included an estimate of expected credit losses which became the historical cost basis for that portfolio going forward.‌

The allowance for credit losses for our acquired timeshare financing receivables is remeasured at each period end and takes into consideration an estimated measure of anticipated defaults and early repayments. We consider historical Legacy-Diamond timeshare financing receivables performance and the current economic environment in the re-measurement of the allowance for credit losses for our acquired timeshare financing receivables. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded as additions to or reversals of credit losses in our consolidated statements of operations through provision for credit losses.

Credit Quality of Timeshare Financing Receivables

Legacy-HGV Timeshare Financing Receivables

We evaluate this portfolio collectively for purposes of estimating variable consideration, since we hold a large group of homogeneous timeshare financing receivables which are individually immaterial. We monitor the collectability of our receivables on an ongoing basis. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty or groups of counterparties. We use a technique referred to as static pool analysis as the basis for estimating expected defaults and determining our allowance for financing receivables losses on our timeshare financing receivables. For static pool analysis, we use certain key dimensions to stratify our portfolio, including FICO scores, equity percentage at the time of sale and certain other factors. The adequacy of the related allowance is determined by management through analysis of several factors, such as current economic conditions and industry trends, as well as the specific risk characteristics of the portfolio including assumed default rates, aging and historical write-offs of these receivables. The allowance is maintained at a level deemed adequate by management based on a periodic analysis of the mortgage portfolio.

We recognize interest income on our timeshare financing receivables as earned. As of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we hadinterest receivable outstanding of $7 million included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The interest rate charged on the notes correlates to the risk profile of the customer at the time of purchase and the percentage of the purchase that is financed, among other factors. As of March 31, 2021, our timeshare financing receivables had interest rates ranging from 1.5 percent to 19.5 percent, a weighted-average interest rate of 12.6 percent, a weighted-average remaining term of 7.4 years and maturities through 2036.

Timeshare financing receivables without a FICO score are primarily related to foreign borrowers.

We apply payments we receive for timeshare financing receivables,loans, including those in non-accrual status, to amounts due in the following order: servicing fees; interest; principal; and late charges. Once a receivableloan is 91 days past due, we cease accruing interest and reverse the accrued interest recognized up to that point. We resume interest accrual for loans for which we had previously ceased accruing interest once the loan is less than 91 days past due. We fully reserve for a timeshare financing receivable in the month following the date that the loan is 121 days past due and, subsequently, we write off the uncollectible note against the reserve once the foreclosure process is complete and we receive the deed for the foreclosed unit.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had ceased accruing interest on timeshare financing receivables with an aggregate principal balance of $70 million and $83 million, respectively. The following tables detail an aged analysis of our gross timeshare receivables balance:

Legacy-Diamond Timeshare Financing Receivables

We evaluate this portfolio collectively for purposes of estimating variable consideration, since we hold a large group of homogeneous timeshare financing receivables which are individually immaterial. We monitor the collectability of our receivables on an ongoing basis. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty or groups of counterparties. We use a technique referred to as static pool analysis as the basis for estimating expected defaults and determining our allowance for financing receivables losses on our timeshare financing receivables. For static pool analysis, we use certain key dimensions to stratify our portfolio, including FICO scores, equity percentage at the time of sale and certain other factors. The adequacy of the related allowance is determined by management through analysis of several factors, such as current economic conditions and industry trends, as well as the specific risk characteristics of the portfolio including assumed default rates, aging and historical write-offs of these receivables. The allowance is maintained at a level deemed adequate by management based on a periodic analysis of the mortgage portfolio.

Our gross balances by average FICO score of our Legacy-Diamond acquired and originated timeshare financing receivables were as follows:

(1) Timeshare financing receivables without a FICO score are primarily related to foreign borrowers.

The accrued interest on our Legacy-Diamond timeshare financing receivables is accrued based on the contractual provisions of the loan documents, which is suspended at the earlier of (i) the customer’s account becoming over 90 days delinquent, or (ii) the completion of cancellation or foreclosure proceedings. Once suspended, we reverse all prior recognized interest income as well. We resume interest accrual for receivables for which we had previously ceased accruing interest once the receivable is less than 91 days past due. We fully reserve for a timeshare financing receivable in the month following the date that the receivable is 121 days past due and, subsequently, we write off the uncollectible balance against the reserve once the foreclosure process is complete and we receivebecome owner of the deed for the foreclosed unit.

As of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, we had ceased accruing interest on Legacy-Diamond timeshare financing receivables with an aggregate principal balance of $111$396 million and $117$369 million, respectively.

Note 9:10: Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

As of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, we consolidated 411 variable interest entities (“VIEs”), respectively, that issued. The activities of these entities are limited primarily to purchasing qualifying non-recourse debt backed by pledged assets consisting primarily of a pool of timeshare financing receivables whichfrom us and issuing debt securities and/or borrowing under a debt facility to facilitate such purchases. The timeshare financing receivables held by these entities are not available to our creditors and are not our legal assets, nor is without recoursethe debt that is securitized through these entities a legal liability to us.

We have determined that we are the primary beneficiaries of theseall VIEs as we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect their economic performance. We are also the servicer of these timeshare financing receivables and we are required tooften replace or repurchase timeshare financing receivables that are in default at their outstanding principal amounts. Additionally, we have the obligation to absorb their losses and the right to receive benefits that could be significant to them. Only the assets of our VIEs are available to settle the obligations of the respective entities.

As part of the Diamond Acquisition, we acquired the variable interests in the entities associated with Diamond’s outstanding timeshare financing receivables securitization transactions and two conduit facilities. They have been aggregated for disclosure purposes as they are similar in nature to our previously established VIEs. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the conduit facilities had an outstanding balance of $125 million and $133 million, respectively.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets included the assets and liabilities of these entities, which primarily consisted of the following:

Note 10:11: Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

As of March 31, 2021,2022, we have 25 percent and 50 percent ownership interests in BRE Ace LLC and 1776 Holding LLC, respectively, thatwhich are deemed as VIEs. We do not consolidate BRE Ace LLC and 1776 Holding LLC because we are not the primary beneficiary. Our investment interests in and equity earned from both VIEs are included in the consolidated balance

Senior secured credit facilities

During the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, we repaid $2$3 million (including recurring payments) under the senior secured credit facilitiesfacilities. As of March 31, 2022, we had $1 million of letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $2 million outstanding backed by cash collateral. We were in compliance with an interest rate based on one month LIBOR plus 3.50all applicable maintenance and financial covenants and ratios as of March 31, 2022.percent, subject to a 0.25 percent floor.

We primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy for our variable-rate debt. As of March 31, 2021, we had approximately $175 million of our Term Loan subject to interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps converted the LIBOR-basedLIBOR based variable rates on our Revolver and Term Loan to an average fixed annual raterates of 0.53 percent per annum through November 2023.with maturities in 2023 and 1.58 percent with maturities between 2023 and 2028, respectively, for the balance on these borrowings up to the notional values of our interest rate swaps. As of March 31, 2022, the notional values of the interest rate swaps under our Revolver and Term Loan were $165 million and $550 million, respectively. Our interest rate swaps have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk and recorded at their estimated fair value as a liabilityan asset in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and otherOther assets in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets assheets. As of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021, the estimated fair value of our cash flow hedges are $32 million and $2 million, respectively. We characterize payments we make in connection with these derivative instruments as interest expense and a reclassification of accumulated other comprehensive income for presentation purposes. ForThe following table reflects the activity in accumulated other comprehensive income related to our derivative instruments during the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded less than $1 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the hedge.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $1 million of outstanding letters of credit under the revolving credit facility.  We were in compliance with all applicable maintenance and financial covenants and ratios as of March 31, 2021.2022.

Our estimates of the fair values were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop the estimated fair values. The table above excludes cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, advance deposits and accrued liabilities, all of which had fair values approximating their carrying amounts due to the short maturities and liquidity of these instruments. Our estimated fair value of derivative financial instruments is considered a level 2 measurement and is included in Note 13: Debt and non-recourse debt above. Our valuation methodology is categorized based on each asset or liability's respective measurement inputs and their correlation to information available in active markets as follows:

23


Level 1 - Measurements based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.
Level 2 - Measurements based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or market data other than quoted prices that are observable.
Level 3 - Measurements based on unobservable data that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the valuation methodology.

The estimated fair valuesvalue of our timeshare financing receivables werelevel 2 derivative financial instruments was determined using autilizing projected future cash flows discounted cash flow model. Our model incorporates default rates, coupon rates, credit quality and loan terms respective to the portfolio based on currentan expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market assumptions for similar types of arrangements.interest rate curves and volatilities.

The estimated fair valuesvalue of our Level 1level 3 debt were based on prices in active debt markets. was determined utilizing indicative quotes obtained for similar issuances and projected future cash flows discounted at risk-adjusted rates.

The estimated fair valuesvalue of our Levellevel 3 debt and non-recourse debt were based on the following:was determined utilizing projected future cash flows discounted at risk-adjusted rates.

Debt - based on indicative quotes obtained for similar issuances and projected future cash flows discounted at risk-adjusted rates.

Non-recourse debt - based on projected future cash flows discounted at risk-adjusted rates.


Non-recurring fair value measurements

Our assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, include land and infrastructure held for sale. These assets were measured to their estimated fair value as of December 31, 2020.2021. We utilized the market approach for the land and cost approach for the infrastructure to determine their respective fair values. The fair value determinationscalculations involve judgement and are sensitive to key assumptions utilized, including comparative sales for land (level 2) and replacement costs for infrastructure (level 3). As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020,There has been no change to the estimated fair value of these assets were as follows and their carrying values were reflected in Land and infrastructure held for salethe three months ended March 31, 2022. in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 13: Leases

We lease sales centers, office space and equipment under operating leases.leases, some of which we acquired as part of the Diamond Acquisition. Our leases expire at various dates from 2021 2022 through 2030, with varying renewal and termination options. Our lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

As part of our integration of business operations from the Diamond Acquisition, we ceased utilizing one leased office space in the three months ended March 31, 2022, which the Company considered a triggering event for impairment analysis. We recognized impairment on the related right-of-use asset of $3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022.

We recognize rent expense on leases with both contingent and non-contingent lease payment terms. Rent associated with non-contingent lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Rent expense for all operating leases for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 was $4$7 million and $5$4 million, respectively. These amounts include $1$1 million of short-term and variable lease costs for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020, respectively.2021.

Note 14:16: Income Taxes

At the end of each quarter, we estimate the effective tax rate expected to be applied for the full year. The effective tax rate is determined by the level and composition of pre-tax ordinary income or loss, which is subject to federal, foreign and state and local income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 20202021 was approximately 4628 percent and 1146 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate is higherlower primarily due to the change in earnings mix of our worldwide income and the impact of a non-recurring discrete item recorded duringitems and share-based compensation awards relative to pre-tax income (loss) through the first quarter of 20212022 as compared to the first quarter of 2020.2021.

We have considered the income tax accounting and disclosure implications of the relief provided by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 enacted on March 11, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, we evaluated the income tax provisions of the American Rescue Plan Act and have determined there to be no effect on either the March 31, 2021 tax rate or the computation of the estimated effective tax rate for the year. We will continue to evaluate the income tax provisions of the American Rescue Plan Act and monitor the developments in the jurisdictions where we have significant operations for tax law changes that could have income tax accounting and disclosure implications.

Note 15:17: Share-Based Compensation

Stock Plan

We issue service-based restricted stock units (“Service RSUs”), service and performance-based restricted stock units (“Performance RSUs”) and nonqualified stock options (“Options”) to certain employees and directors. We recognized share-based compensation expense of $4$11 million and $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. For the three months ended March, 31, 2020, we recognized a credit to share-based compensation expense of $2 million due to the reversal of $8 million of expense recognized in prior years related to our Performance RSUs which were not expected to achieve certain performance targets. 2022 and 2021, respectively.

As of March 31, 2021,2022, unrecognized compensation costs for unvested awards werewas approximately $49$72 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.61.9 years. As of March 31, 2021,2022, there were 4,024,218 2,679,077shares of common stock available for future issuance under this plan.


Service RSUs

During the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, we issued 560,604750,653 Service RSUs with a grant date fair value of $38.22,$44.09, which generally vest in equal annual installments over three years from the date of grant.

Options

During the three months ended March 31, 20212022, we issued 542,793389,536 Options with an exercise price of $38.22,$44.09, which generally vest over three years from the date of the grant.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of these options was $13.30,$20.08, which was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following assumptions:assumptions included in the table below. Expected volatility is calculated using our historical and implied volatility of our share price. Dividend yield is calculated based on our expected future payout at the time of issuance. Risk-free rate is based on the yields of U.S. Department of Treasury instruments with similar maturities. Expected term is estimated using the vesting period and contractual term of the Options.

Performance Shares

During the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, we issued 124,71193,064 Performance RSUs with a grant date fair value of $38.22.$44.09. The Performance RSUs are settled at the end of a three-yeartwo-year performance period, with 50 percent of the Performance RSUs subject to achievement based on the Company’s adjusted earnings before interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization further adjusted for net deferral and recognition of revenues and related direct expenses related to sales of VOIs of projects under construction. The remaining 50 percent of the Performance RSUs are subject to the achievement of certain contract sales targets.

We determined that the performance conditions for these awardsour Performance RSUs are probable of achievement and, as offor the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, we recognized compensation expense based on the number of Performance RSUs we expect to vest.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In March 2017, the Board of Directors adopted the Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which became effective during 2017. In connection with the Plan, we issued 2.5 million shares of common stock which may be purchased under the ESPP. The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock at a price per share not less than 95 percent of the fair market value per share of common stock on the purchase date, up to a maximum threshold established by the plan administrator for the offering period. During the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, we recognized less than $1$1 million of compensation expense related to this plan.

Note 18:20: Business Segments

We operate our business through the following 2 segments:

Real estate sales and financing – We market and sell VOIs that we own. We also source VOIs through fee-for-service agreements with third-party developers. Related to the sales of the VOIs that we own, we provide consumer financing, which includes interest income generated from the origination of consumer loans to customers to finance their purchase of VOIs and revenue from servicing the loans. We also generate fee revenue from servicing the loans provided by third-party developers to purchasers of their VOIs.
Resort operations and club management – We manage the Club and Diamond Clubs and earn activation fees, annual dues and transaction fees from member exchanges for other vacation products. We also earn fees for managing the timeshare properties. We generate rental revenue from unit rentals of unsold inventory and inventory made available due to ownership exchanges under our Club and Diamond Clubs programs. We also earn revenue from food and beverage, retail and spa outlets at our timeshare properties.

The performance of our operating segments is evaluated primarily based on adjusted earnings before interest expense (excluding non-recourse debt), taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, further adjusted to exclude certain items, including, but not limited to, gains, losses and expenses in connection with: (i) other gains, including asset dispositions and foreign currency translations; (ii) debt restructurings/retirements; (iii) non-cash impairment losses; (iv) share-based and other compensation expenses; and (v) other items, including but not limited to costs associated with acquisitions, restructuring, amortization of premiums resulting from purchase accounting, and other non-cash and one-time charges.

We do not include equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates in our measures of segment operating performance.

Note 19:21: Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

We have entered into certain arrangements with developers whereby we have committed to purchase vacation ownership units or other real estate at a future date to be marketed and sold under our Hilton Grand Vacations brand. As of March 31, 2021,2022, we were committed to purchase approximately $453$329 million of inventory and land over a period of 109 years and $11$15 million of other commitments underin the normal course of business. Additionally, we have committed to develop additional vacation ownership units at an existing resort in Japan. We are also committed to an agreement to exchange parcels of land in Hawaii, subject to the successful completion of zoning, land use requirements and other applicable regulatory requirements. The actual amount and timing of the acquisitions isare subject to change pursuant to the terms of the respective arrangements, which could also allow for cancellation in certain circumstances. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we did not make any purchases related to our inventory commitments. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we purchased $1completed $1 million asof purchases required under our inventory-related purchase commitments. We did 0t make any purchases related to our commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2020.As of March 31, 2021,2022, our remaining obligationobligations pursuant to these arrangements were expected to be incurred as follows:

As part of the Diamond Acquisition and per our licensing agreement with Hilton, we are committed to rebranding Diamond properties to brands that meet Hilton standards. As of March 31, 2022, we have incurred rebranding costs in respect to information technology and sales centers, and expect rebranding to occur over a period of several years.

Litigation Contingencies

(1)

Primarily relates to commitments related to information technology and brand licensing under the normal course of business.

We are involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business, some of which includes claims for substantial sums. Management has evaluatedWe evaluate these legal mattersproceedings and we believe that possible losses derived fromclaims at each balance sheet date to determine the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss. We record a contingent litigation liability when it is determined that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably possibleestimated.

As of March 31, 2022, we accrued liabilities of approximately $117 million for all legal matters that were contingencies. Substantially all of these accrued liabilities are related to matters that existed as of the Acquisition Date, of which approximately $24 million are subject to change during the measurement period of the Diamond Acquisition. See Note 3: Diamond Acquisition. Approximately $92 million of these accrued liabilities relate to a judgment entered against Diamond in March 2022 in connection with a case filed in 2015 that was not deemed probable and estimable as of the Acquisition Date. This matter is not reasonably estimable. While the actual results of claimssubject to insurance coverage and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we expect that the resolution of all pending or threatened claims and litigationas a result as of March 31, 2021, will 0t materially affect2022, we recorded an insurance claim receivable of $92 million within Accounts receivable, net in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Overview

Our Business

We are a global timeshare company that marketsengaged in developing, marketing, selling and sells VOIs, managesmanaging timeshare resorts in top leisure and urban destinations,primarily under the Hilton Grand Vacations brand. Our Company also owns and operates aDiamond Resorts International ("Diamond") and are in the process of rebranding Diamond properties and sales centers to brands that meet Hilton standards. Our operations primarily consist of: selling vacation ownership intervals and vacation ownership interests (collectively, “VOIs”, "VOI") for us and third parties; financing and servicing loans provided to consumers for their timeshare purchases; operating resorts and multi-resort trusts; and managing our points-based vacation club. Hilton Grand Vacations Club and Hilton Club exchange program (collectively the “Legacy-HGV Club”) and Diamond points-based clubs.

As of March 31, 2021,2022, we have 62154 properties representing 499,616 VOIs, that are primarily located in vacation destinations such as Orlando, Las Vegas, the Hawaiian Islands, New York City, Washington D.C.United States (“U.S.”), South Carolina, BarbadosEurope, Mexico, the Caribbean, Canada, and MexicoJapan. A significant number of our properties and VOIs are concentrated in Florida, Nevada, Hawaii, Europe, California, Virginia and Arizona. and feature spacious, condominium-style accommodations with superior amenities and quality service. As of March 31, 2021,2022, we have approximately 328,000335,000 Hilton Grand Vacations Club and Hilton Club (collectively the “Club”) members.

Our business has beenWe also have 168,000 Diamond Club members who are able to utilize their points across the Diamond resorts, affiliated properties and continuesalternative experiential options.

Diamond Acquisition

On August 2, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Dakota Holdings, Inc., the parent of Diamond (the “Diamond Acquisition”). We completed the acquisition by exchanging 100 percent of the outstanding equity interests of Diamond into shares of HGV common stock. Pre-existing HGV shareholders own approximately 72 percent of the combined company after giving effect of the Diamond Acquisition, with certain funds controlled by Apollo Global Management Inc. (the "Apollo

31


Funds" or, "Apollo") and other minority shareholders, who previously owned 100 percent of Diamond, holding the remaining approximately 28 percent at the time the Diamond Acquisition was completed.

Diamond also operates in the hospitality and VOI industry, with a worldwide resort network of global vacation destinations. Diamond’s portfolio consists of resort properties that we manage, are included in one of Diamond's single- and multi-use trusts (collectively, the "Diamond Collections" or "Collections"), or are Diamond branded resorts in which we own inventory. In addition there are affiliated resorts and hotels, which we do not manage, and which do not carry the Diamond brand but are a part of Diamond's network and, through THE Club® and other Club offerings (the “Diamond Clubs”), are available for its members to be adversely impacted byuse as vacation destinations.

Diamond’s operations primarily consist of: VOI sales and financing which includes marketing and sales of VOIs and consumer financing for purchasers of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the global economy, including the various government orders and mandates for closures of non-essential businesses. Please see “Recent Events RelatedCompany's VOIs; operations related to the COVID-19 Pandemicmanagement of the homeowners associations (the “HOAs”) for resort properties and Impactthe Diamond Collections, operating and managing points-based vacation clubs, and operation of certain resort amenities and management services.

Acquisition and integration-related expenses represent direct costs associated with the Diamond Acquisition including integration costs, legal fees, financial and other discussions throughout this Report for additional information regarding such impacts.professional services. These expenses also include severance, retention and other employee-related benefits.

Our Segments

We operate our business across two segments: (1) real estate sales and financing; and (2) resort operations and club management.

Real Estate Sales and Financing

Our primary Legacy-HGV product is the marketing and selling of fee-simple VOIs deeded in perpetuity and right to use real estate interests, developed either by us or by third parties. This ownership interest is an interest in real estate generally equivalent to one week on an annual basis, at the timeshare resort where the VOI was purchased. Traditionally, timeshare operators have funded 100 percent of the investment necessary to acquire land and construct timeshare properties. WeIn addition to developing our own properties, we source VOIs through fee-for-service and just-in-time agreements with third-party developers and have focused our inventory strategy on developing an optimal inventory mix focused on developed properties as well as fee-for-service and just-in-time agreements. The fee-for-service agreements enable us to generate fees from the sales and marketing of the VOIs and Legacy-HGV Club


memberships and from the management of the timeshare properties without requiring us to fund acquisition and construction costs. The just-in-time agreements enable us to source VOI inventory in a manner that allows us to correlate the timing of acquisition of the inventory with the sale to purchasers. Sales of owned, including just-in-time inventory, generally result in greater Adjusted EBITDA contributions, while fee-for-service sales require less initial investment and allow us to accelerate our sales growth. Both sales of owned inventory and fee-for-service sales generate long-term, predictable fee streams, by adding to the Club membership base and properties under management, that generate strong returns on invested capital.

We also source VOIs through our Collections product which are represented by an annual or biennial allotment of points that can be utilized for vacations at any of the resorts in our network for varying lengths of stay. Purchasers of points generally do not acquire a direct ownership interest in the resort properties in our network. For each Collection, one or more trustees hold legal title to the deeded fee simple real estate interests or the functional equivalent, or, in some cases, leasehold real estate interests for the benefit of the respective Collection’s association members in accordance with the applicable agreements.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, sales from fee-for-service, just-in-time, and developed inventory and points-based sources were 4025 percent, 2814 percent, 19 percent and 3242 percent, respectively, of contract sales. See “Key Business and Financial Metrics and Terms Used by Management—Management —Real Estate Sales Operating Metrics” for additional discussion of contract sales. The estimated contract sales value related to our inventory that is currently available for sale at open or soon-to-be open projects and inventory at new or existing projects that will become available for sale in the future upon registration, delivery or construction is approximately $10$13 billion at current pricing.

Capital efficient arrangements, comprised of our fee-for-service and just-in-time inventory, represented approximately 5240 percent of that supply. We believe that the visibility into our long-term supply allows us to efficiently manage inventory to meet predicted sales, reduce capital investments, minimize our exposure to the cyclicality of the real estate market and mitigate the risks of entering into new markets.

32


We sell our vacation ownership products under the Hilton Grand Vacations brand primarily through our distribution network of both in-marketboth-in-market and off-site sales centers. Our products are currently marketed for sale throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.Japan. We operate sales distribution centers in major markets and popular leisure destinations with year-round demand and a history of being a friendly environment for vacation ownership. We have approximately 60 sales distribution centers in Las Vegas, Orlando, Oahu, Japan, New York, Myrtle Beach, Waikoloa, Washington D.C., Hilton Head, Park City, Chicago, Korea, Carlsbadvarious domestic and Los Cabos.international locations. A phased rebranding of sales centers that were acquired as part of the Diamond Acquisition began in late 2021. Our marketing and sales activities are based on targeted direct marketing and a highly personalized sales approach. We use targeted direct marketing to reach potential members who are identified as having the financial ability to pay for our products and have an affinity with Hilton (Legacy-HGV only) and are frequent leisure travelers. Tour flow quality impacts key metrics such as close rate and VPG, defined in “Key Business and Financial Metrics and Terms Used by Management—Real Estate Sales Metrics.” Additionally, the quality of tour flow impacts sales revenue and the collectability of our timeshare financing receivables. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, 662022, 73 percent of our contract sales were to our existing owners.

We provide financing for members purchasing our developed and acquired inventory and generate interest income. Our timeshare financing receivables are collateralized by the underlying VOIs and are generally structured as 10-year, fully-amortizing loans that bear a fixed interest rate typically ranging from 42.5 percent to 1825 percent per annum. Financing propensity was 65 percent and 63 percent for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020, respectively.2021. We calculate financing propensity as contract sales volume of financed contracts originated in the period divided by contract sales volume of all contracts originated in the period.

The interest rate on our loans is determined by, among other factors, the amount of the down payment, the borrower’s credit profile and the loan term. The weighted-average FICO score for new loans to U.S. and Canadian borrowers at the time of origination were as follows:

Some of our timeshare financing receivables have been pledged as collateral in our securitization transactions, which have in the past and may in the future provide funding for our business activities. In these securitization transactions, special purpose entities are established to issue various classes of debt securities which are generally collateralized by a single pool of assets, consisting of timeshare financing receivables that we service and related cash deposits. For additional information see Note 6: 7: Timeshare Financing Receivables in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In addition, we earn fees from servicing the loans provided by third-party developers of our fee-for-service projects to purchasers of their VOIs and from our securitized timeshare financing receivables.


Resort Operations and Club Management

We enter into management agreements with the HOAs of the VOI owners for timeshare resorts developed by us or a third party. Each of the HOAs is governed by a board of directors comprised of owner and developer representatives that are charged with ensuring the resorts are well-maintained and financially stable.Our management services include day-to-day operations of the resorts, maintenance of the resorts, preparation of reports, budgets and projections and employee training and oversight. Our HOA management agreements provide for a cost-plus management fee, which means we generally earn a fee equal to 10 percent to 15 percent of the costs to operate the applicable resort. The fees we earn are highly predictable due to the relatively fixed nature of resort operating expenses and our management fees are unaffected by changes in rental rate or occupancy. We are reimbursed for the costs incurred to perform our services, principally related to personnel providing on-site services. The initial term of our management agreements typically ranges from three to five years and the agreements are subject to periodic renewal for one to three-year periods. Many of these agreements renew automatically unless either party provides advance notice of termination before the expiration of the term.

We also manage and operate the Clubs, including the points-based Hilton Grand Vacations Club and Hilton Club exchange programs, which provide exclusive exchange, leisure travel and reservation services to our Legacy-HGV Club members.members, as well as the Diamond Clubs. When owners purchase a VOI, they are generally enrolled in thea Club and given an annual allotment of points that allowwhich allows the member to exchange their annual usage rights in the VOI that they ownpoints for a number of vacation and travel options. In addition to an annual membership fee, Club members pay incremental fees depending on exchanges they choose within the Club system.

33


We rent unsold VOI inventory, third-party inventory and inventory made available due to ownership exchanges through our club programs. We earn a fee from rentals of third-party inventory. Additionally, we provide ancillary offerings including food and beverage, retail and spa offerings at these timeshare properties.

Key Business and Financial Metrics and Terms Used by Management

Real Estate Sales Operating Metrics

We measure our performance using the following key operating metrics:

Contract sales represents the total amount of VOI products (fee-for-service, just-in-time, developed, and points-based) under purchase agreements signed during the period where we have received a down payment of at least 10 percent of the contract price. Contract sales differ from revenues from the Sales of VOIs, net that we report in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations due to the requirements for revenue recognition, as well as adjustments for incentives. We consider contract sales to be an important operating measure because it reflects the pace of sales in our business and is used to manage the performance of the sales organization. While we do not record the purchase price of sales of VOI products developed by fee-for-service partners as revenue in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, rather recording the commission earned as revenue in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe contract sales to be an important operational metric, reflective of the overall volume and pace of sales in our business and believe it provides meaningful comparability of our results to the results of our competitors which may source their VOI products differently.

Real estate profit represents sales revenue less the cost of VOI net.  sales, sales and marketing costs, net of marketing revenue. Real estate margin percentage is calculated by dividing real estate margin by sales revenue. We consider this to be an important operating measure because it measures the efficiency of our sales and marketing spending and management of inventory costs.

Tour flow represents the number of sales presentations given at our sales centers during the period.
Volume per guest (“VPG”) represents the sales attributable to tours at our sales locations and is calculated by dividing contract sales, excluding telesales, by tour flow.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA, presented herein, is a financial measure that is not recognized under U.S. GAAP that reflects net income (loss), before interest expense (excluding non-recourse debt), a provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as EBITDA, as previously defined, further adjusted to exclude certain items, including, but not limited to, gains, losses and expenses in connection with: (i) other gains, including asset dispositions and foreign currency translations; (ii) debt restructurings/retirements; (iii) non-cash impairment losses; (iv) share-based and other compensation expenses; and (v) other items, including but not limited to costs associated with acquisitions, restructuring, amortization of premiums resulting from purchase accounting, and other non-cash and one-time charges.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors about us and our financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are among the measures used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions; and (ii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common performance measure to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in our industry.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash flow or other methods of analyzing our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our interest expense (excluding interest expense on non-recourse debt), or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our indebtedness;
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the effect on earnings or changes resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our future operations;
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for future replacements of assets that are being depreciated and amortized; and
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be calculated differently from other companies in our industry limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our interest expense (excluding interest expense on non-recourse debt), or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our indebtedness;

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the effect on earnings or changes resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our future operations;

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for future replacements of assets that are being depreciated and amortized; and

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be calculated differently from other companies in our industry limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as discretionary cash available to us to reinvest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.

Recent Events Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic and Impact on Our 35


Results of Operations Financial Condition, and Business During the

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021.

In March 2020, a National Public Health Emergency was declared in response to the coronavirus, known as COVID-19. As a result, many local, county and state government officials have issued, and continue to issue or reinstate, various mandates and orders to close non-essential businesses, impose travel restrictions, and require “stay-at-home” and/or self-quarantine in certain cases, all in an effort to protect the health and safety of individuals and aimed at slowing and ultimately stopping the spread and transmission of the virus. Accordingly, commencing in March 2020, we started to temporarily close substantially all of our properties and suspended our U.S sales operations and closed such sales offices. In the second quarter of 2020, we began a phased reopening of resorts and resumption of our business activities, but under new operating guidelines and with safety measures. With the anticipated gradual receding of the pandemic, as well as COVID-19 vaccinations becoming more widespread and various restrictions continuing to ease, consumers have started to resume normal activities, including travel and leisure, and more businesses have commenced resuming operations. We plan to continue to reopen our resorts and resume our normal business as conditions permit, but there can be no assurance that such positive trends will continue or that there will not be any increases of new infections or new variants that may impede or reverse recovery and such positive trends.


In response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we took a variety of actions to ensure the continuity of our business and operations and to secure our liquidity position to provide financial flexibility. These actions include amending certain financial covenant ratios through the third quarter of 2021, as may be needed due to the ongoing and uncertain future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations.

The temporary closure of our resorts and sales centers, and the related suspensions of our operations, as well as various travel and other restrictions, expectedly have had a materially adverse impact on our revenues, net (loss) income and other operating results during the first quarter, as well as our business and operations generally, as more fully discussed below. As discussed in further detail below, substantially all of the unfavorable changes in our operating results during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 as compared to prior periods were a result of the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on travel demand.

Outlook

The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented and challenging time. Our current focus is on continuing to position the Company to be in a sound position from an operational, liquidity, credit access, and compliance perspective for a strong recovery when the impact of COVID-19 subsides. As mentioned above, we have taken several steps to enhance our liquidity and provide financial flexibility. We will continue to assess the evolving COVID-19 pandemic, including the various restrictions on travel, leisure and other activities, and general business operations, and will take additional actions as appropriate.

As of March 31, 2021, approximately 80 percent of our resorts and nearly all of our sales centers are open and currently operating. However, some of our resorts and sales centers are operating in markets with capacity constraints and various safety measures, which are impacting consumer demand for resorts in those markets. Prior to reopening our resorts and sales centers, we introduced the HGV Enhanced Care Guidelines, designed to provide owners, guests and team members with the highest level of cleaning protocols and safety standards recommended by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and cleaning solutions approved by the Environmental Protection Agency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. While we plan to continue to reopen our resorts and resume our business as conditions and applicable rules and regulations permit, the pandemic continues to be unprecedented and rapidly changing, and has unknown duration and severity. Further, despite the recent receding of travel and other restrictions in regions and locations where we have a significant concentration of our properties and units and other positive trends with the pandemic, the pandemic continues to adversely impact consumer demand for our resorts in those areas and our business in general.

Accordingly, there remains significant uncertainty as to the continuing degree of impact and duration of the conditions stemming from the ongoing pandemic on our revenues, net income and other operating results, as well as our business and operations generally. Please carefully review the risk factors contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, in Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and those described from time to time in other periodic reports that we file with the SEC for discussions of various factors and uncertainties related to the pandemic that may materially impact us.

Planned Acquisition of Diamond

On March 10, 2021, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary Hilton Grand Vacations Borrower LLC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with Dakota Holdings, Inc. (“Diamond”), which is controlled by the investment funds and vehicles managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management Inc. (“Apollo”) and certain stockholders of Diamond, under which we agreed to acquire Diamond, in a stock transaction with an equity fair value of approximately $1.4 billion as of that date. Under the Merger Agreement, Apollo and other Diamond stockholders will receive approximately 34.5 million shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, subject to customary adjustments. Upon transaction close, existing HGV shareholders will own approximately 72% of the combined company and Apollo will own approximately 28% of the combined company. The transaction has been approved by the Board of Directors for both companies. Consummation of this transaction is subject to customary conditions, including approval from shareholders of both us and Diamond, receipt of any required regulatory approvals and other customary closing condition.

We intend to finance the transaction through a combination of cash on hand, assumption of debt and incremental debt financing. The transaction is anticipated to close during the summer of 2021.

Real Estate Sales and Financing

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), revenue and the related costs to fulfill and acquire the contract (“direct costs”) from sales of VOIs under construction are deferred until the point in time when construction activities are deemed to be completed. The real estate sales and financing segment is impacted by construction related deferral and recognition activity. In periods where Sales of VOIs and related direct costs of projects under construction are deferred, margin percentages will generally contract as the indirect marketing and selling costs associated with these sales are recognized as incurred in the current period. In periods where previously deferred Sales of VOIs and related direct costs are recognized upon construction completion, margin percentages will generally expand as the indirect marketing and selling costs associated with these sales were recognized in prior periods.

The following table represents deferrals and recognitions of Sales of VOI revenue and direct costs for properties under construction:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Overview

Our cash management objectives are to maintain the availability of liquidity, minimize operational costs, make debt payments and fund future acquisitions and development projects. Our known short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of funds necessary to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures, including payroll and related benefits, legal costs, operating costs associated with the operation of our resorts and sales centers, interest and scheduled principal payments on our outstanding indebtedness, inventory-related purchase commitments, and capital expenditures for renovations and maintenance at our offices and sales centers. Our long-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of funds necessary to pay for scheduled debt maturities, inventory-related purchase commitments and costs associated with potential acquisitions and development projects.projects, including rebranding.

We finance our short- and long-term liquidity needs primarily through cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from our operations, draws on our senior secured credit facility and our non-recourse revolving timeshare credit facility (“Timeshare Facility”), and through periodic securitizations of our timeshare financing receivables.

In March 2021, we amended our Credit Agreement which amended certain terms related to financial covenants to permit the previously announced proposed acquisition of Dakota Holdings, Inc., pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 10, 2021. The financial covenants were also amended to provide greater flexibility for the Company. The borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement remained the same. In connection with the amendment, we incurred $1 million in debt issuance costs. We amended our Timeshare Facility to align with our amended Credit Agreement. In addition, we obtained a revolving credit facility commitment in connection with the Merger and incurred $2 million in debt issuance costs which were amortized over the term of the commitment in the first quarter of 2021. This was included in Interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of March 31, 2021, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $505 million, including $105 million of restricted cash. The restricted cash balance relates to escrowed cash from our sales of our VOIs and reserves related to our non-recourse debt.


As of March 31, 2021, we have $139 million remaining borrowing capacity under the revolver facility (“Revolver”) which includes $29 million of undrawn borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and $10 million available under short-term borrowings. In addition, we have $450 million remaining borrowing capacity under our Timeshare Facility.

We intend to finance the planned acquisition, Merger, as mentioned above in “Planned Acquisition of Diamond,” through a combination of cash on hand, assumption of debt and incremental debt financing. The transaction is anticipated to close during the summer of 2021.

In response to the impact of COVID-19, we have taken a variety of actions to ensure the continuity of our business and operations and to secure our liquidity position to provide financial flexibility. This included amending certain financial covenant ratios through the third quarter of 2021 as may be needed due to the ongoing and uncertain future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations.

As of March 31, 2021,2022, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $817 million, including $303 million of restricted cash.

As of March 31, 2022, we have approximately 80 percent$699 million remaining borrowing capacity under the revolver facility.

As of March 31, 2022, we have $439 million remaining borrowing capacity in total under our resortsTimeshare Facility, and nearly allconduit facilities due in 2023 and 2024. Of this amount, we have $154 million of our sales centers open and currently operating. However, some of HGV’s resorts and sales centersmortgage notes that are operating in markets with capacity constraints and are subject to various safety measures, which are impacting consumer demand for resorts in those markets. While we plan to continue to reopen our resorts and resume our business as conditions permit, the pandemic continuesavailable to be unprecedentedsecuritized and rapidly changing, and has unknown duration and severity.

another $238 million of mortgage notes that we expect will become eligible as soon as they meet typical milestones including receipt of first payment, deeding, or recording.

We believe that our capital allocation strategy provides adequate funding for our operations, is flexible enough to fund our development pipeline, securitizes the optimal level of receivables, and provides the ability to be strategically opportunistic in the marketplace. We have made commitments with developers to purchase vacation ownership units at a future date to be marketed and sold under our Hilton Grand Vacations brand. As of March 31, 2021,2022, our inventory-related purchase commitments totaled $453$329 million over 109 years.

Operating Activities

Cash flow provided by operating activities is primarily generated from (1) sales and financing of VOIs and (2) net cash generated from managing our resorts, Club and Diamond Club operations and providing related rental and ancillary services. Cash flows used in operating activities primarily include spending for the purchase and development of real estate for future conversion to inventory and funding our working capital needs. Our cash flows from operations generally vary due to the following factors related to the sale of our VOIs; the degree to which our owners finance their purchase and our owners’ repayment of timeshare financing receivables; the timing of management and sales and marketing services provided; and cash outlays for VOI inventory acquisition and development. Additionally, cash flow from operations will also vary depending upon our sales mix of VOIs; over time, we generally receive more cash from the sale of an owned VOI as compared to that from a fee-for-service sale.

The change in net cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, compared to the same period in 20202021 was primarily duedriven by increased sales and operating performance compared to the prior year, as discussed above, in addition to an increase in proceedsnet working capital from timeshare financing receivables, partially offset by decreased sources of cash from working capital.operations.

We also intend to rebrand Diamond properties to brands that meet Hilton standards pursuant to the Amended and Restated License Agreement with Hilton.

We utilize surety bonds related to the sales of VOIs in order to meet regulatory requirements of certain states. The availability, terms and conditions and pricing of such bonding capacity are dependent on, among other things, continued financial strength and stability of the insurance company affiliates providing the bonding capacity, general availability of such capacity and our corporate credit rating. We have commitments from surety providers in the amount of $367$296 million as of March 31, 20212022 which primarily consist of escrow and construction related bonds.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluatedOn April 21, 2022, we completed a $246 million securitization of our gross timeshare financing receivables with an overall weighted average interest rate of 4.30 percent and an overall advance rate of 95 percent. The proceeds were primarily used to pay down one of our conduit facilities in full, which was a total of $115 million, and for general corporate purposes.

On May 3, 2022, we amended the terms of the Timeshare Facility to increase the borrowing capacity from $450 million to $750 million, allowing us to borrow up to the maximum amount until May 2024 and requiring all subsequent events through April 29, 2021, the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were availableamounts borrowed to be issued.repaid in 2025. The resultsTimeshare Facility is secured by certain timeshare financing receivables in our loan portfolio.

On May 4, 2022, our Board of management’s analysis indicated no significant subsequent events have occurred that required consideration or adjustmentDirectors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to our disclosures in the unaudited financial statements.repurchase up to an aggregate of $500 million of its outstanding shares of common stock.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. We have discussed those policies and estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.  2021.

ITEM 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

ITEM 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. We manage our exposure to these risks by monitoring available financing alternatives and through pricing policies that may take into account currency exchange rates. Our exposure to market risk has not materially changed from what we previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk on our variable-rate debt, comprised of the term loans, Revolver and our Timeshare Facility and conduit facilities, of which the Timeshare Facility isand conduit facilities, are without recourse to us. The interest rates are based on one-month LIBOR and we are most vulnerable to changes in this rate. We primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy for our variable-rate debt.

We intend to securitize timeshare financing receivables in the asset-backed financing market periodically. We expect to secure fixed-rate funding to match our fixed-rate timeshare financing receivables. However, if weOur interest rate swaps have variable-rate debt in the future, we will monitor thebeen designated and qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk and evaluate opportunities to mitigate such risk through the use of derivative instruments.

To the extent we continue to have variable-rate borrowingsrecorded as a liability in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and continue to utilize variable-rate indebtednessother in the future, any increase in interest rates beyond amounts covered under any corresponding derivative financial instruments, particularly if sustained, could have an adverse effect on our net income (loss), cash flows and financial position. While we have entered into certain hedging transactions to address such potential risk, such transactions and any future hedging transactions we may enter into may not adequately mitigate the adverse effects of interest rate increases or that counterparties in those transactions will honor their obligations.

The following table sets forth the contractual maturities, weighted-average interest rates and the total fair valuesunaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2021, for our financial instruments that are materially affected by interest rate risk:2022 and December 31, 2021.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Though the majority of our operations are conducted in United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”), we are exposed to earnings and cash flow volatility associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our principal exposure results from our timeshare financing receivables denominated in Japanese yen and VAT receivables denominated in Mexican pesos,Canadian dollars, the value of which could change materially in reference to our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. A 10 percent increase in the foreign exchange rate of the Japanese yen to U.S. dollar would change our gross timeshare financing receivables by less than $1.5 million. A 10 percent change in the foreign exchange rate of the Mexican peso to U.S. dollar would change our VAT receivables by approximately $1 million.

ITEM 4.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) or our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of the controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error and mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of controls and procedures to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls and procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the controls and procedures may have deteriorated.

In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.We will continue to assess the adequacy of our disclosure controls and procedures and make any appropriate changes given the various government mandates and orders of business closures and the resulting remote working conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2021,period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We will continue to assess the effectiveness of our internal controlsreporting, other than changes in control over financial reporting consistent with past practice, particularlyto integrate the business we acquired in light of the various government mandates and orders of business closures and the resulting remote working conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.Diamond Acquisition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

The following represents important changes and updates to the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A. of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 (our “2020“2021 Form 10-K”). The risk factors discussed below and the risk factors included in our 20202021 Form 10-K are important to understanding our business, operation, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects, especially during the current environment, and our statements generally in this Form 10-Q. Therefore, they should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” and Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Form 10-Q.

In addition, the following risks and those risks described in our 20202021 Form 10-K contain forward-looking statements, and they may not be the only risks facing the Company. The future business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company can be affected by the risk factors described in such reports and by other factors currently unknown, that management presently believes not to be material, that management has made certain forward looking projections, estimates or assumptions on, or that may rapidly evolve, develop or change, including those that are caused, directly or indirectly, by the COVID-19 pandemic.change. Any one or more of such factors could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual financial condition and results of operations to vary materially and adversely from past, or from anticipated future financial condition and results of operations. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and the trading price of our common stock. Because of these factors affecting our financial condition, key business operational metrics, and operating results, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

Risks Relating

We cannot guarantee that we will repurchase our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program or that our share repurchase program will enhance long-term shareholder value. Share repurchases could also increase the Merger

The exchange ratio will not be adjusted for changes in our stock price.

The calculationvolatility of the numberprice of our common stock and diminish our cash reserves.

On May 4, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program"), pursuant to which we may repurchase up to $500 million of our common stock over a two year period. The timing and amount of repurchases of shares of our common stock, that Diamond common stockholdersif any, will receivedepend upon several factors, such as consideration in the Merger  (the “exchange ratio”) is pre-determined such that each share of Diamond common stock (other than Appraisal Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement), treasury shares, and shares owned directly or indirectly by Diamond) is currently expected to be converted into the right to receive 0.32066 shares of our common stock in connection with the Merger (based on calculations as of April 9, 2021), subject to certain adjustments as a result of changes in certain liabilities and other items between signing and closing of the Merger. This exchange ratio will not be adjusted for changes in the market price of our common stock, betweengeneral market and economic conditions, our working capital requirements and corporate strategy, the dateterms of signingour financing arrangements and applicable legal requirements. We are not obligated to repurchase any specific number or amount of shares of common stock pursuant to the Merger AgreementRepurchase Program, and completionwe may modify, suspend or terminate the Repurchase Program at any time without prior notice. Repurchases of our common stock pursuant to the Repurchase Program could impact our stock price and increase its volatility. The existence of the Merger.

ChangesRepurchase Program could cause our stock price to be higher than it would be in the absence of such a program. Additionally, the Repurchase Program could diminish our cash reserves, which may impact our ability to finance future growth and to pursue possible future strategic opportunities. There can be no assurance that any share repurchases will enhance long-term stockholder value, and the market price of our common stock beforemay decline below the closing of the Merger will affect the market value of our common stock that Diamond common stockholders will receivelevels at the closing of the Merger. The price of our common stock at the closing of the Merger may vary from their prices on the date the Merger Agreement was executed and on the date of the special meeting of our stockholders held in connection with the issuance of HGV common stock in the Merger. As a result, the value represented by the exchange ratio will also vary.

These variations could result from changes in the business, operations or prospects of Diamond or HGV before or following the Merger, regulatory considerations, general market and economic conditions and other factors both within and beyond our and Diamond’s control. The Merger may be completed a considerable period after the date of the special meeting. Therefore, at the time of the special meeting, stockholders will not know with certainty the value of thewhich we repurchased shares of our common stock that will be issued upon completion of the Merger.


We are subject to various uncertainties and contractual restrictions, including the risk of litigation, while the Merger is pending, which may cause disruption and may make it more difficult to maintain relationships with employees, suppliers, vendors, customers or others.stock.

Uncertainty about the effect of the Merger on relationships with our employees, suppliers, vendors, customers, or others may have an adverse effect on us. Although we intend to take steps designed to reduce any adverse effects, these uncertainties may impair Diamond’s and our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the Merger is completed and for a period of time thereafter, and could cause suppliers, vendors, customers, and others that deal with us to seek to change, not renew or discontinue existing business relationships with us.

Employee retention and recruitment may be challenging before the completion of the Merger, as employees and prospective employees may have uncertainty about their future roles with HGV after the Merger. If, despite our retention and recruiting efforts, key employees depart or prospective key employees are unwilling to accept employment with us because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with us, our business could be adversely affected.

The pursuit of the Merger and the preparation for the integration may place a significant burden on management and internal resources. The diversion of management’s attention away from day-to-day business concerns and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process could adversely affect our financial results.

In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts us and Diamond, without the other party’s consent, from making certain acquisitions and taking other specified actions until the Merger closes or the Merger Agreement terminates. These restrictions may prevent us and Diamond from pursuing otherwise attractive business opportunities and making other changes to our respective businesses before completion of the Merger or termination of the Merger Agreement.

One of the conditions to the closing of the Merger is the absence of any judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation, having been entered, enacted, promulgated, enforced or issued by any court or other governmental entity of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition that prevents the consummation of the Merger. Accordingly, while no litigation specific to the Merger has been commenced, it is possible that such litigation may commence, and in any such litigation if any of the plaintiffs is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, then such injunction may prevent the Merger from being completed, or delay it from being completed within the expected time frame.

Failure to complete the Merger could negatively impact our stock price and the future of our business and financial results.

If the Merger is not completed, our ongoing business may be adversely affected, and we may be subject to several risks, including the following:

being required to pay a termination fee to Diamond under certain circumstances as provided in the Merger Agreement;

having to pay certain costs relating to the Merger, such as legal, accounting, financial advisor and other fees and expenses;

our common stock price could decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Merger will be completed; and

having had the focus of our senior management on the Merger instead of on pursuing other opportunities that could have been beneficial to us and our stockholders.

If the Merger is not completed, we cannot assure you that these risks will not materialize and will not materially adversely affect our business, financial results and stock price.


Our ability to complete the Merger is subject to certain closing conditions and the receipt of consents and approvals from government entities which may impose conditions that could adversely affect us or cause the Merger to be abandoned.

The Merger Agreement contains certain closing conditions, including, among others:

the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party contained in the Merger Agreement, subject to the qualifications described in more detail herein;

the other party having performed in all material respects all obligations required to be performed by it under the Merger Agreement;

the absence of a “material adverse effect” impacting the other party;

the approval of the stock issuance proposal by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of our common stock at a stockholders’ meeting duly called and held for such purpose;

the absence of any judgment, order, law or other legal restraint by a court or other governmental entity of competent jurisdiction that prevents the consummation of the Merger;

the approval for listing by the NYSE of the shares of our common stock issuable in the Merger;

the termination or expiration of any applicable waiting period under the United States Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended;

the receipt of all authorizations, consents, orders or approvals of, or declarations or filings with, or expirations of waiting periods imposed by, the Mexican Federal Economic Competition Commission under the Mexican Federal Economic Competition Law and the Federal Competition Authority under the Austrian Cartel Act and the Competition Act;

certain ancillary agreements having been delivered and not having been rescinded or repudiated by certain parties; and

the absence of defaults under Diamond’s unsecured notes and absence of defaults and sufficient availability under Diamond’s warehouse facilities.

We cannot assure you that the various closing conditions will be satisfied, or that any required conditions will not materially adversely affect us following the Merger or will not result in the abandonment or delay of the Merger.

Any delay in completing the Merger may reduce or eliminate the benefits that we expect to achieve.

The Merger is subject to a number of conditions beyond our control that may prevent, delay or otherwise materially adversely affect the completion of the Merger. We cannot predict whether and when these conditions will be satisfied. Any delay in completing the Merger could cause us not to realize some or all of the synergies that we expect to achieve if the Merger is successfully completed within the expected time frame.

Our directors and executive officers may have interests in the Merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally.

Certain of our directors and executive officers negotiated the terms of the Merger Agreement, and our board of directors unanimously recommended that our stockholders vote in favor of the proposals to be presented to our stockholders at the special meeting. These directors and executive officers may have interests in the Merger that are different from, or in addition to, those of our stockholders. These interests include the continued employment of our executive officers after the Merger, the continued service of all of our directors following the Merger, and other rights held by our directors and executive officers. Our stockholders should be aware of these interests when they consider our board of directors’ recommendation that they vote in favor of the stock issuance proposal and the other proposals to be voted upon at the special meeting.

Our board of directors was aware of these potential interests and considered them in making its recommendations to approve the stock issuance proposal and the other proposals to be voted upon at the special meeting.


The opinion obtained by our board of directors from its financial advisor does not and will not reflect changes in circumstances after the date of such opinion.

On March 9, 2021, BofA Securities, Inc. (“BofA Securities”) delivered an opinion to our board of directors that, as of the date of such opinion, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and conditions described in BofA Securities’ opinion, the Merger consideration was fair, from a financial point of view, to HGV. Changes in the operations and prospects of Diamond or HGV, general market and economic conditions and other factors that may be beyond our control, and on which the opinions of BofA Securities was based, may alter our or Diamond’s value or the price at which shares of our common stock are traded by the time the Merger is completed. We have not obtained, and we do not expect to request, an updated opinion from our financial advisor. BofA Securities’ opinion does not speak to the time when the Merger will be completed or to any date other than the date of such opinion. As a result, the opinion does not and will not address the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger consideration to be paid by us in the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement at the time the Merger is completed or at any time other than the date when opinion was rendered.

Risks if the Merger is Completed

We may not be able to integrate successfully and many of the anticipated benefits of combining us and Diamond may not be realized.

We entered into the Merger Agreement with the expectation that the Merger will result in various benefits, including, among other things, operating efficiencies. Achieving the anticipated benefits of the Merger is subject to a number of uncertainties, including whether the businesses of HGV and Diamond can be integrated in an efficient and effective manner.

It is possible that the integration process could take longer than anticipated and could result in the loss of valuable employees, the disruption of each company’s ongoing businesses, processes and systems or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures, practices, policies and compensation arrangements, any of which could adversely affect our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Merger. Our results of operations could also be adversely affected by any issues attributable to Diamond’s operations that arise or are based on events or actions that occur before the closing of the Merger. We may have difficulty addressing possible differences in corporate cultures and management philosophies. The integration process is subject to a number of uncertainties, and no assurance can be given that the anticipated benefits will be realized or, if realized, the timing of their realization. Failure to achieve these anticipated benefits could result in increased costs or decreases in the amount of expected net income and could adversely affect our future business, financial condition, operating results and prospects.

Furthermore, we have agreed with Hilton Worldwide Inc. (“Hilton”) to develop a mutually agreeable plan pursuant to which the Diamond properties are to be operated during the integration period, and with respect to those Diamond properties that will not be converted to our brand. If we fail to develop such a plan with Hilton, such properties may remain subject to a number of restrictions related to how they are operated, and such restrictions may reduce the efficiencies anticipated in connection with the Merger.

We will take on additional indebtedness to finance the Merger, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, including by decreasing our business flexibility, as well as our ability to meet payment obligations under our indebtedness.

In connection with the completion of the Merger, we intend to significantly increase our level of indebtedness. Our increased level of debt, together with certain covenants and restrictions that will be imposed on us in connection with incurring this indebtedness, will, among other things: (a) require us to dedicate a larger portion of our cash flow from operations to servicing and repayment of debt; (b) reduce funds available for strategic initiatives and opportunities, dividends, share repurchases, working capital and other general corporate needs; (c) limit our ability to incur certain kinds or amounts of additional indebtedness, which could restrict our flexibility to react to changes in our business, industry and economic conditions and increase borrowing costs; (d) create competitive disadvantages relative to other companies with lower debt levels and (e) increase our vulnerability to the impact of adverse economic and industry conditions. These covenants and restrictions may limit how our business is conducted. We may not be able to maintain compliance with these covenants and restrictions and, if we fail to do so, we may not be able to obtain waivers thereto and/or amend these covenants and restrictions. Our failure to comply with the covenants and restrictions could result in an event of default,which, if not cured or waived, could result in our being required to repay such indebtedness before its due date or to have to negotiate amendments to or waivers thereof, which may have unfavorable terms or result in the incurrence of additional fees and expenses.


Our ability to make scheduled cash payments on and to refinance our indebtedness and to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate significant operating cash flow in the future, which, to a significant extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors, including the continued adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, that are beyond our control. We may not be able to maintain a sufficient level of cash flow from operating activities to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness.

In addition, our credit ratings will impact the cost and availability of future borrowings and, accordingly, our cost of capital. Our ratings will reflect each rating organization’s opinion of our financial strength, operating performance and ability to meet our debt obligations on a combined basis with Diamond. Downgrades in our ratings could adversely affect our businesses, cash flows, financial condition, operating results and share and debt prices, as well as our obligations with respect to our capital efficient inventory acquisitions.

Following the completion of the Merger, our vacation ownership business will depend on the quality and reputation of the brands associated with the portfolios of each of HGV and Diamond, and any deterioration in the quality or reputation of these brands could adversely affect our market share, reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

Following completion of the Merger, we intend to offer vacation ownership products and services under the Hilton Vacation Club brand, a new upscale HGV sub-brand that will consist of rebranded Diamond properties, all pursuant to the Amended and Restated License Agreement with Hilton ( the “A&R Hilton license agreement”). If the quality of any of these brands deteriorates, or the reputation of these brands declines, including as the result of actions by Hilton, our market share, reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. See “Risks Related to our Relationship with Hilton” below.

The maintenance and refurbishment of vacation ownership properties depends on maintenance fees paid by the owners of VOIs.

The maintenance fees that are levied on owners of our and Diamond’s VOIs by property owners’ association boards are used to maintain and refurbish the vacation ownership properties, to maintain reserves for capital expenditures, and to keep the properties in compliance with applicable brand standards. Property owners’ association boards may elect to not levy sufficient maintenance fees, or owners of VOIs may fail to pay their maintenance fees for reasons such as financial hardship, dissatisfaction with the Merger or because of damage to their VOIs from natural disasters such as hurricanes. In these circumstances, not only could our and Diamond’s management fee revenue be adversely affected, but the vacation ownership properties could fall into disrepair and fail to comply with applicable brand standards. If a resort fails to comply with applicable brand standards, Hilton could terminate our right under the A&R Hilton license agreement to use its trademarks at the non-compliant resort, which could result in the loss of management fees, decreased customer satisfaction and impairment of our ability to market and sell products at the non-compliant locations. See “Risks Related to Our Relationship with Hilton” below.

If maintenance fees at our or Diamond’s resorts are required to be increased, our or Diamond’s products could become less attractive and our or Diamond’s business could be harmed.

The maintenance fees that are levied on owners of our and Diamond’s VOIs by property owners’ association boards may increase as the costs to maintain and refurbish the vacation ownership properties, to maintain reserves for capital expenditures, and to keep the properties in compliance with brand standards increase. A similar situation may arise with respect to fees imposed on owners of VOIs with respect to new properties added to our portfolio following the completion of the Merger. Increased maintenance fees could make our or Diamond’s products less desirable, which could have a negative impact on sales of our or Diamond’s products and could also cause an increase in defaults with respect to our or Diamond’s vacation ownership notes receivable portfolio.


We will incur substantial transaction costs in connection with the Merger.

We expect to incur a number of non-recurring expenses both before and after completing the Merger, including fees for third party legal, investment banking and advisory services, the costs and expenses of filing, printing and mailing our merger proxy statement and all filing and other fees paid to the SEC in connection with the Merger, obtaining necessary consents and approvals and combining the operations of the two companies. These fees and costs will be substantial. Additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in our integration of Diamond. Although it is expected that the elimination of certain duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the two businesses, will offset the incremental transaction related costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term, or at all. Further, if the Merger is not completed, we would have to recognize these expenses without realizing the expected benefits of the Merger.

Our stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the completion of the Merger and will exercise less influence over management of us as compared to currently.

Our stockholders currently have the right to vote in the election of the board of directors and on other matters affecting us. Upon the completion of the Merger, each Diamond stockholder who receives shares of our common stock will become our stockholder. It is currently expected that the former Diamond stockholders as a group will receive shares in the Merger constituting approximately 28% of the shares of our common stock on a fully diluted basis immediately after the completion of the Merger. As a result, our current stockholders as a group will own approximately 72% of the shares of our common stock on a fully diluted basis immediately after the completion of the Merger. Because of this, our stockholders will have less influence on the management and policies of the combined company than they now have on the management and policies of us prior to the Merger.

Our future results will suffer if we do not effectively manage our expanded operations following the completion of the Merger.

Following the completion of the Merger, the size of our business will increase significantly beyond the current size of either our or Diamond’s current operations. Our future success depends, in part, upon our ability to manage this expanded business, including in non-US jurisdictions where we do not currently have operations, which will pose substantial challenges for management, including challenges related to the management and monitoring of new operations and associated increased costs and complexity. We may also need to obtain approvals of developers or HOAs in various instances to include additional resorts in the multi-resort trusts marketed, sold and managed by Diamond (the “Diamond Collections”) or increase maintenance fees or impose additional requirements in order to meet our brand and operating standards. There can be no assurances that we will be successful or that we will realize the expected operating efficiencies, cost savings and other benefits currently anticipated from the transactions. In addition, there will be increased compliance and regulatory risk as a result of the expanded size of our business.

We may not be able to retain our and/or Diamond personnel successfully after the Merger is completed.

The success of the Merger will depend in part on our ability to retain the talents and dedication of key employees currently employed by us and Diamond. It is possible that these employees may decide not to remain with us or Diamond, as applicable, while the Merger is pending or with us after the Merger is consummated.

If key employees terminate their employment, or if an insufficient number of employees are retained to maintain effective operations, our business activities may be adversely affected and management’s attention may be diverted from successfully integrating Diamond to hiring suitable replacements, all of which may cause our business to suffer. In addition, we may not be able to locate suitable replacements for any key employees who leave either company, or offer employment to potential replacements on reasonable terms.

We and Diamond may be subject to complaints, litigation or reputational harm due to dissatisfaction with, or concerns related to, the Merger from our current owners.

Our current owners may be concerned about the actual or perceived impact of the Merger on their VOIs, including related to a reduced quality of resorts and product offerings due to the increased size of the business and addition of new owners, or increase or change in HOA or other fees. Diamond’s current owners may have similar concerns related to a decline in the quality of product offerings or increase in fees as a result of the Merger and increase in size of the business. Complaints or litigation brought by existing owners following the completion of the Merger could harm our reputation, discourage potential new owners and adversely impact our results of operations.


Risks Related to Diamond’s Business

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted, and will likely continue to have a significant adverse impact on, the business, financial condition and results of operations of Diamond for the foreseeable future.

Tourism and travel-related industries continue to face significant disruption as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. It may be an extended period of time before the business operations of Diamond and its affiliates return to full operational capacity or occupancy, particularly if there remains lingering actual and/or perceived concern and perception of significant transmission and infection risk due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Diamond has implemented new social distancing, hygiene protocols, and enhanced cleaning measures at its resorts, sales centers, and corporate offices in accordance with guidelines from federal, state and local authorities. Diamond and its subsidiaries’ management implemented and trained team members on the “Diamond Standard of Clean.” These measures, which are intended to protect human life, may result in additional costs, operational inefficiencies, and fewer revenue opportunities.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the various governmental mandates and orders for business closure, Diamond temporarily closed operations at substantially all of their resorts and closed substantially all of their sales centers. With the lifting or easing of such restrictions in certain locations in the United States, Diamond has re-opened the majority of its resorts and sales centers, albeit at reduced capacity levels and revenue has not returned to pre-pandemic levels. However, any re-opening of the resorts may be delayed, interrupted or reversed depending on government orders or recommendations or based on assessments of the state of the pandemic. It may be an extended period of time before the resorts return to pre-pandemic operational capacity or occupancy, particularly if there remains lingering actual and/or perceived concern and perception of significant transmission and infection risk due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Any sustained materially adverse impact on Diamond’s revenues, net income and other operating results due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could cause Diamond to breach its operating and financial covenants under certain of its debt obligations, which may mean lenders have the right to terminate their commitments under certain debt agreements and declare outstanding loans immediately due and payable.

Diamond operates in a number of locations outside the United States and is subject to certain additional risks related to international operations that are not applicable to our current business.

Diamond manages resorts in and sells VOIs in countries outside of the United States, including in Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom and several countries in the European Union, which are subject to a number of risks, including compliance with local regulations and laws, regulations restricting the sale of VOIs, compliance with anti-corruption laws and regulations such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, exposure to local economic conditions, potential adverse changes in the political or economic relation of foreign countries with the United States, withholding and restrictions on taxes and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Diamond is and may in the future be subject to litigation in foreign jurisdictions.

In Mexico, the developer of certain of Diamond’s resorts have agreed to requirements that they consider themselves as Mexican nationals with respect to certain property and agree to not invoke the protection of their governments in matters relating to the property. Generally, rules in Mexico limit ownership of land near Mexico’s borders and beaches to Mexican citizens and companies, unless granted the right by the Mexican government. If the developer of Diamond’s resort in Mexico fails to comply with the agreement with the Mexican government, it would forfeit the land back to Mexico.

We do not currently have operations in several of the non-US jurisdictions in which Diamond operates and may lack knowledge or familiarity with the rules and regulations, as well as experience and resources, related to operating such business in these countries.


Interests in Diamond’s resorts are offered through a trust system, which is subject to a number of regulatory and other requirements.

The Diamond Collections located in the United States are alternatives to traditional deeded timeshare ownership, inasmuch as they create a network of available resort accommodations at multiple locations. For those United States-based Diamond Collections, title to the units available through the Diamond Collections is held in a trust or similar arrangement that is administered by an independent trustee (the “Collection Trustee”). A purchaser of a timeshare interest in a Collection does not receive a deeded interest in any specific resort or resort accommodation, but acquires a membership in the timeshare plan which is denominated by an annual or biennial allotment of points. Owners of Diamond’s timeshare interests are allowed to use their allocated points to reserve accommodations at the various component site(s)/participating resort(s) within the Diamond Collections, thereby giving the members greater flexibility to plan their vacations. Owners may also elect to reserve accommodations at resorts that are not part of their Collection through Diamond’s exchange programs.

The Diamond Collections are registered pursuant to, exempted from, or otherwise in compliance with, the applicable statutory requirements for the sale of timeshare plans in a growing number of jurisdictions. Such registrations and formal exemption determinations for the Diamond Collections confirm the substantial compliance with the filing and disclosure requirements of the respective timeshare statutes by the developer of the applicable Diamond Collection. It does not constitute the endorsement of the creation, sale, promotion or operation of the Diamond Collections by any regulatory body nor relieve the developer of a Diamond Collection or any affiliates of such developer of any duty or responsibility under other statutes or any other applicable laws. Registration under a respective timeshare act (or other applicable law) is not a guarantee or assurance of compliance with applicable law nor an assurance or guarantee of how any judicial body may interpret the Diamond Collections’ compliance therewith. A determination that specific provisions or operations of the Collections do not comply with relevant timeshare acts or applicable law may have a material adverse effect on the developer, the Collection Trustee and the related non-profit members association for each of the Diamond Collections.

Increased activity by third-party exit companies on Diamond and its owners may cause distractions and adversely impact our integration.

Diamond and other timeshare companies continue to be significantly targeted by organized activities of third parties that actively pursue timeshare owners claiming to provide timeshare interest transfers and/or “exit” services. Any increases in the level of participation by the Diamond owners in response to such overtures and/or delinquencies or defaults with respect to the timeshare loans owed by such owners may disrupt Diamond’s business, affect cash flow from collections on the timeshare loans, and generally adversely affect our integration plans of Diamond. In addition, exit companies may target HGV owners to a greater extent than they already do in light of the proposed Merger with Diamond.

Risks Related to Our Relationship with Hilton

Our future results may suffer if Hilton seeks to modify or terminate the A&R Hilton license agreement.

We are a party to a license agreement with Hilton under which we license substantially all of the trademarks, brand names and intellectual property used in our business. The A&R Hilton license agreement also permits us to utilize the Hilton Honors program, which is a valuable asset for lead generation. These assets are critical to our business and the modification or amendment the A&R Hilton license agreement or any exercise by Hilton of its termination or other rights under the A&R Hilton license agreement will materially impact our business. The termination or amendment of the A&R Hilton license agreement in whole or in part could result in the loss of the right of HGV to use the Hilton brands in our business as currently conducted as well as in connection with our post-combination business, and in related services offered by Hilton, including marketing channels and guest loyalty programs. The loss of such rights will materially harm our business and results of operations and impair our ability to market and sell our VOI products and maintain our competitive position, and will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Further, it is likely to be very challenging for us to find or develop a comparable replacement for the Hilton brand and the A&R Hilton license agreement. In addition, we may incur liabilities if any such termination results from our alleged breach of the A&R Hilton license agreement.


If the A&R Hilton license agreement is terminated, we may lose our rights to certain brands developed by us in connection with the integration of the Diamond business.

Pursuant to the A&R Hilton license agreement, Hilton would be the sole owner of certain licensed marks related to new brands associated with the Diamond portfolio that are developed by us in connection with our post-combination business. If, following the completion of the Merger, we default under the A&R Hilton license agreement, we could lose the right to use one or more of such new brands. The loss of these rights and/or certain other related rights could materially adversely affect our ability to generate revenue and profits from the vacation ownership business associated with the Diamond portfolio. The termination of the A&R Hilton license agreement following completion of the Merger would materially harm our combined business and results of operations and impair our ability to market and sell our products and maintain our competitive position.

Our ability to integrate the Diamond business and otherwise expand our business and remain competitive could be harmed if Hilton does not consent to the use of their trademarks in connection with the conversion of Diamond properties and/or new resorts that we may acquire or develop in the future.

Under the terms of the A&R Hilton license agreement, we must obtain Hilton’s approval to use the Hilton brand names and trademarks in connection with the conversion of the Diamond properties to branded properties using the Hilton marks, as well as for the branding of timeshare properties that we acquire or develop in the future. If Hilton does not permit us to use its trademarks in connection with such conversion and integration, or our future development or acquisition plans, or if we cannot come to an agreement with Hilton on how to brand and operate Diamond properties that are not approved by Hilton, our ability to successfully integrate Diamond and otherwise expand our business and remain competitive may be materially adversely affected. The requirement to obtain approval for such conversion and integration of Diamond properties and any future expansion plans, or the need to identify and secure alternative solutions because we cannot obtain such approval, may delay implementation of our integration and/or expansion plans or cause us to incur additional expense related to the branding of our properties.

Our ability to integrate the Diamond business depends on our compliance with the A&R Hilton license agreement, including the “Separate Operations” provisions and certain prohibitions on doing business with competitors. While the parties intend to provide some revisions to the applicable requirements, strict compliance with such provisions will negatively impact the synergies and efficiencies related to the Diamond acquisition.

For now, we have agreed with Hilton to operate the Diamond business as a “Separate Operation” under the A&R Hilton license agreement. Complying with that requirement can be costly and difficult and will likely significantly diminish the efficiencies and synergies that are critical to our successful integration of the Diamond business. In addition, the A&R Hilton license agreement requires Hilton’s approval in connection with our anticipated conversion of the Diamond properties into our branded properties and/or Hilton Vacation Club or another new brand of properties, and the creation of any such new brand also requires Hilton’s consent. While we and Hilton have agreed to modify the Separate Operations requirements, with such modifications to be made in Hilton’s sole discretion, so as to allow us to achieve greater operating efficiency and synergy than currently provided for, any failure of the parties to do so will adversely impact such operating efficiency and synergy. In addition, any failure to obtain Hilton’s approval with respect to the creation of any new brand or the conversion of the Diamond properties into such new brand or existing branded properties will significantly harm our ability to integrate the Diamond business and its properties. If we cannot come to an agreement with Hilton on how to brand and operate Diamond properties that do not currently or will not in the future meet the Hilton brand standards, then we will be required to continue to operate them as separate operations.

In addition, the A&R Hilton license agreement contains a number of prohibitions on us entering into certain agreements and arrangements with competitors of Hilton. As a result of the Merger, we will assume Diamond’s contracts with third parties, a number which are with competitors of Hilton and are prohibited under the A&R Hilton license agreement. The A&R Hilton license agreement provides for a cure period for agreements or arrangements related to the Diamond business that would result in a violation or breach of provisions in the A&R Hilton license agreement. However, to the extent we are not able to terminate such agreements within the cure period or we are unable to obtain a waiver from Hilton, we may breach the A&R Hilton license agreement.
