NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Company Overview
Interval Leisure Group, Inc., or ILG, is a leading global provider of membership and leisure services to the vacation industry. ILG consists of two operating segments. Membership and Exchange, our principal business segment, offers travel and leisure related products and services to owners of vacation interests and others primarily through various membership programs, as well as related services to resort developer clients. Management and Rental, our other business segment, provides hotel, condominium resort, timeshare resort and homeowners association management, and rental services to both vacation property owners and vacationers.
On February 28, 2012, we acquired all of the equity of Vacation Resorts International, or VRI, the largest independent provider of resort and homeowners association management services to the shared ownership industry. VRI was consolidated into our financial statements as of the acquisition date with its assets and results of operations primarily included in our Management and Rental operating segment.
The Membership and Exchange operating segment consists of Interval International Inc.'s businesses, referred to as Interval, and the membership and exchange related line of business of Trading Places International, or TPI, and VRI. The Management and Rental operating segment consists of Aston Hotels & Resorts, LLC and Maui Condo and Home, LLC, referred to as Aston, and the management and rental related line of business of VRI and TPI.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of ILG's management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in ILG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Seasonality
Revenue at ILG is influenced by the seasonal nature of travel. The Membership and Exchange businesses recognize exchange and Getaway revenue based on confirmation of the vacation, with the first quarter generally experiencing higher revenue and the fourth quarter generally experiencing lower revenue. The Management and Rental businesses recognize rental revenue based on occupancy, with the first and third quarters generally generating higher revenue and the second and fourth quarters generally generating lower revenue.

NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies were described in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Accounting Estimates
ILG's management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. They also impact the reported amount of net earnings during any period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates underlying the accompanying consolidated financial statements include: the recovery of long-lived assets as well as goodwill and other intangible assets; purchase price allocations of business combinations; the determination of deferred income taxes including related valuation allowances; the determination of deferred revenue and membership costs; the determination of stock-based compensation; and the determination of credit loss reserves for our financing receivables.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Treasury stock is excluded from the weighted average number of shares of common stock. Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Dilutive securities are common stock equivalents that are freely exercisable into common stock at less than market prices or otherwise dilute earnings if converted. The net effect of common stock equivalents is based on the incremental common stock that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of common stock options and the vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs") using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents are not included in diluted earnings per share when their inclusion is antidilutive. The computations of diluted earnings per share available to common stockholders do not include approximately 0.9 million and 1.0 million stock options and RSUs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and 1.6 million stock options and RSUs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, as the effect of their inclusion would have been antidilutive to earnings per share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
With the exception of those discussed below, there are no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements since the recent accounting pronouncements described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 that are of significance, or potential significance, to ILG based on our current operations. The following summary of recent accounting pronouncements is not intended to be an exhaustive description of the respective pronouncement.
In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2012-04, "Technical Corrections and Improvements" ("ASU 2012-04"). ASU 2012-04 makes certain technical corrections, clarifications and conforming fair value amendments to the FASB Accounting Standard Codification (the "Codification") that affects various Codification topics. The amendments in this ASU are effective upon issuance, except for amendments that are subject to transition guidance, which will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. We are currently assessing the future impact, if any, of this new accounting update to our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment" ("ASU 2012-02"). ASU 2012-02 amends the guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. Under the revised guidance, entities testing an indefinite-lived intangible asset for impairment have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the asset. If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the likelihood of the indefinite-lived intangible asset being impaired is below a "more likely than not" threshold (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50 percent), the entity would not need to calculate the fair value of the asset. The ASU does not revise the requirement to test indefinite-lived intangible assets annually for impairment and does not amend the requirement to test these assets for impairment between annual tests if there is a change in events or circumstances. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. We currently do not

anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or related disclosures; however, we will continue to assess through the effective date the future impact, if any, of this new accounting update to our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, "Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11"). ASU 2011-11 creates new disclosure requirements about the nature of an entity's rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The ASU is designed to make financial statements that are prepared under GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods therein, with retrospective application required. We do not currently anticipate the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or related disclosures; however, we will continue to assess through the effective date the future impact, if any, of this new accounting update to our consolidated financial statements.
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-03, "Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250 ("SAB 114"), and Corrections Related to FASB ASU 2010-22" ("ASU 2012-03"). ASU 2012-03 amends a number of SEC sections in the Codification as a result of the issuance of SAB 114 and other SEC related guidance. The principal changes involve revision or removal of accounting guidance references and other conforming changes to ensure consistency of referencing throughout the Staff Accounting Bulletin series. The amendments in this ASU are effective upon issuance. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or related disclosures.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS" ("ASU 2011-04"). ASU 2011-04 provides a consistent definition of fair value to ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between GAAP and IFRS and provides clarification about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. The ASU also expands certain other disclosure requirements, particularly pertaining to Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and will be applied prospectively.

Management and Rental operating segments are individual reporting units which are also individual reportable segments of ILG pursuant to ASC 280, Segment Reporting ("ASC 280"). ILG tests goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded. If the carrying amount of an indefinite- lived intangible asset exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded.
As of October 1, 2011, the date of our last impairment test, we reviewed the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets of each of our two reporting units. Goodwill assigned to the Membership and Exchange and Management and Rental reporting units as of that date was $480.6 million and $7.4 million, respectively. We performed the first step of the impairment test on both our reporting units and concluded that each reporting unit's fair value exceeded its carrying value and, therefore, the second step of the impairment test was not necessary. We performed the required annual impairment test with respect to intangible assets with indefinite lives and determined there was no impairment. As of September 30, 2012, we did not identify any triggering events which required an interim impairment test subsequent to our annual impairment test on October 1, 2011.

On February 28, 2012, we acquired all of the equity in VRI resulting in goodwill of $17.7 million and identifiable intangible assets of $23.0 million. The $17.7 million change in goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 related to the goodwill acquired in connection with the acquisition of VRI. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units of ILG that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The amount of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit is determined in a manner similar to how the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination is determined, while using a reasonable methodology applied in a consistent manner. Based on the expected benefits from the synergies of this business combination, we have assigned $14.9 million and $2.9 million of goodwill to our Management and Rental and Membership and Exchange reporting units, respectively.
During the measurement period for a business combination (which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date), we are required to retrospectively adjust any provisional assets or liabilities, should they exist, if new information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known then, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets or liabilities as of that date. Related to our acquisition of VRI, during the third quarter of 2012 we received a favorable private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service in regards to the tax matter further discussed in Note 10 and, consequently, we no longer consider our accounting for this acquisition to be provisional.

NOTE 5—LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)
9.5% Interval Senior Notes
In connection with the spin-off of ILG from IAC/InterActiveCorp ("IAC"), on July 17, 2008, Interval Acquisition Corp., a subsidiary of ILG, ("Issuer" or "Borrower") agreed to issue $300.0 million of aggregate principal amount of 9.5% Senior Notes due 2016 ("Interval Senior Notes") to IAC, and IAC agreed to exchange such Interval Senior Notes for certain of IAC's 7% senior unsecured notes due 2013 pursuant to a notes exchange and consent agreement. The issuance occurred on August 19, 2008 with original issue discount of $23.5 million, based on the difference between the interest rate on the notes and the effective interest rate that would have been payable on the notes if issued in a market transaction based on market conditions existing on July 17, 2008, the date of pricing, estimated to be 11%. The exchange occurred on August 20, 2008.
The Senior Notes were redeemed on September 4, 2012, at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, at which time the Interval Senior Notes were no longer deemed to be outstanding and our obligations under the indenture, as previously supplemented, terminated.
Revolving Credit Facility
On June 21, 2012, the Issuer entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreement") which, among other things (1) provides for a $500 million revolving credit facility in place of the existing senior secured credit facility which consisted of a $50 million revolving facility and term loan facility with an original principal amount of $150 million, (2) extends the maturity of the credit facility to June 21, 2017, (3) provides for an interest rate on borrowings, commitment fees and letter of credit fees based on the Borrower's and its subsidiaries' consolidated leverage ratio, and (4) may be increased to up to $700 million, subject to certain conditions. As of September 30, 2012, there was $290.0 million outstanding on the revolving credit facility. Any principal amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are due at maturity. The interest rate on the Amended Credit Agreement is based on (at the Borrower's election) either LIBOR plus a predetermined margin that ranges from 1.25% to 2.25%, or the Base Rate as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement plus a predetermined margin that ranges from 0.25% to 1.25%, in each case based on the Borrower's leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2012, the applicable margin was 1.75% per annum for LIBOR revolving loans and 0.75% per annum for Base Rate loans. The revolving credit facility has a commitment fee on undrawn amounts that ranges from 0.25% to 0.375% based on the Borrower's leverage ratio and as of September 30, 2012 the commitment fee was 0.275%.
Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, all obligations under the revolving credit facility are unconditionally guaranteed by ILG and certain subsidiaries of the Borrower (the "Subsidiary Guarantors"). Borrowings are further secured by (1) 100% of the voting equity securities of the Borrower and the Borrower's U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of the equity in the Borrower's first-tier foreign subsidiaries and (2) substantially all of the tangible and intangible property of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors.

NOTE 5—LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)
Extinguishment of Debt
In connection with entering into the Amended Credit Agreement, during the second quarter of 2012, we extinguished the outstanding balance of $51.0 million on our term loan, utilizing cash on-hand as of that date. In addition, we recognized a non-cash, pre-tax loss of $0.6 million on the early extinguishment of this debt pertaining to the write-off of related unamortized debt issuance costs. Subsequently, the senior notes were redeemed on September 4, 2012 at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, amounting to $314.5 million, at which time the senior notes were no longer deemed to be outstanding and our obligations under the indenture, as previously supplemented, terminated. Additionally, the extinguishment of the Interval Senior Notes resulted in a non-cash, pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt of $17.9 million during the third quarter of 2012 principally pertaining to the acceleration of the original issue discount and the write-off of the related unamortized deferred debt issuance costs. These losses are presented in a separate line item, "Loss on extinguishment of debt," within "Other income (expense)" in our consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 related to the Interval Senior Notes and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 for the term loan.
Restrictions and Covenants
The Amended Credit Agreement has various financial and operating covenants that place significant restrictions on us, including our ability to incur additional indebtedness, to incur additional liens, issue redeemable stock and preferred stock, pay dividends or distributions or redeem or repurchase capital stock, prepay, redeem or repurchase debt, make loans and investments, enter into agreements that restrict distributions from our subsidiaries, sell assets and capital stock of our subsidiaries, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and consolidate or merge with or into or sell substantially all of our assets to another person.
The Amended Credit Agreement requires us to meet certain financial covenants requiring the maintenance of a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of consolidated debt, less credit given for foreign cash, over consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, of 3.50 through December 31, 2013 and 3.25 thereafter. Additionally, we are required to maintain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA over consolidated interest expense, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, of 3.0. As of September 30, 2012, ILG was in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all applicable financial and operating covenants and our consolidated leverage ratio and consolidated interest coverage ratio under the Amended Credit Agreement were 1.70 and 5.41, respectively.
Debt Issuance Costs
In connection with entering into the Amended Credit Agreement, we incurred $3.9 million of deferred debt issuance costs during the second quarter of 2012 and wrote-off the remaining unamortized balance of $0.6 million relating to the original revolving credit and term loan facilities. In the third quarter of 2012, we wrote-off $3.9 million in deferred debt issuance costs relating to the redemption of the Interval Senior Notes. The amounts written-off are included in "Loss on

extinguishment of debt," as discussed above. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, total unamortized debt issuance costs on outstanding debt were $3.7 million, net of $0.2 million of accumulated amortization, and $5.5 million, net of $8.0 million of accumulated amortization, respectively, which were included in "Other non-current assets" in our consolidated balance sheets. Debt issuance costs are amortized to "Interest expense" using the effective interest method through maturity and date of extinguishment for our Interval Senior Notes and term loan, respectively, and on a straight-line basis for our Amended Credit Agreement.
NOTE 6—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
In accordance with ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurement," ("ASC 820") the fair value of an asset is considered to be the price at which the asset could be sold in an orderly transaction between unrelated knowledgeable and willing parties. A liability's fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:
Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices in active markets
Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable
Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the company to develop its own assumptions
As part of the acquisition of TPI in November 2010, we are obligated to pay contingent consideration in an amount ranging from zero up to a total of $5.0 million to TPI's former owners during the three year period subsequent to the acquisition should TPI meet certain earnings targets. We have revised the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration as of September 30, 2012 to be $2.5 million, a net change of $0.4 million from December 31, 2011. The fair value of this contingent consideration has been adjusted subsequent to the acquisition date to account for revisions to estimated earnings as well as the accretion of interest on the fair value of the contingent consideration which was discounted to its net present value. Our probability-weighted income approach includes certain significant inputs not observable in the market, such as a discount rate of 18.5% as well as actual and estimated probability-weighted cash flows pertaining to the periods subject to the contingent consideration. We believe these inputs represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.
As of September 30, 2012, the fair value of the remaining contingent consideration was $2.5 million, a decrease of $0.4 million from December 31, 2011, of which $0.7 million of the decrease is due to revisions to the estimated earnings used in our calculation of the fair value of the contingent consideration offset by $0.3 million due to the aforementioned accretion of interest. The revision to estimated earnings and the accretion of interest have been reflected in general and administrative expenses and interest expense, respectively, in our consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. Of this total contingent consideration, $1.5 million is included in other short-term liabilities and $1.0 million is included in other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012. As a measure of sensitivity, a change of 10% to

NOTE 6—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)
all of the aforementioned Level 3 inputs would have resulted in a change of between $0.5 million (unfavorable) or $0.7 million (favorable), as of September 30, 2012, to the estimated contingent consideration liability pertaining to this acquisition. There have been no transfers of inputs used in measuring fair value between the three-tier fair value hierarchy since December 31, 2011.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair value of financial instruments below has been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies, as applicable. There have been no changes in the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. Our financial instruments include guarantees, letters of credit and surety bonds.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value as they are redeemable at par upon notice or maintained with various high-quality financial institutions and have original maturities of three months or less. Under the fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1).The financing receivables are presented in our consolidated balance sheets within "Other non-current assets" and pertain to three senior secured real estate related loans issued in the second quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012 to third parties. During the third quarter 2012, two of these loans were repaid in full at 100% of the original principal amount plus accrued interest. The carrying value of these financing receivables approximates fair value through inputs inherent to the originating value of these loans, such as interest rates and ongoing credit risk accounted for through non-recurring adjustments for estimated credit losses as necessary (Level 2).
Borrowings under our Interval Senior Notes and term loan were carried at historical cost and adjusted for amortization of the discount on our Interval Senior Notes and principal payments. The fair value of our Interval Senior Notes was estimated at December 31, 2011 using an input of quoted prices from an inactive market due to the infrequency at which trades occur on our Interval Senior Notes (Level 2). In September 2012, we redeemed all of the Interval Senior Notes. The carrying value of our term loan approximated fair value as of December 31, 2011 through inputs inherent to the loan such as variable interest rates and credit risk (Level 2). In June 2012, we extinguished the remaining balance on our term loan. The carrying value of the outstanding balance under our $500 million revolving credit

facility approximates fair value as of September 30, 2012 through inputs inherent to the debt such as variable interest rates and credit risk (Level 2).
The guarantees, surety bonds, and letters of credit represent liabilities that are carried on our balance sheet only when a future related contingent event becomes probable and reasonably estimable. These commitments are in place to facilitate our commercial operations. The related fair value of these liabilities is estimated at the minimum expected cash flows contractually required to satisfy the related liabilities in the future upon occurrence of the applicable contingent events (Level 2).
NOTE 7—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
ILG has 300 million authorized shares of common stock, par value of $.01 per share. At September 30, 2012, there were 58.6 million shares of ILG common stock issued, of which 56.9 million are outstanding with 1.7 million shares held as treasury stock. At December 31, 2011, there were 57.7 million shares of ILG common stock issued, of which 56.0 million were outstanding with 1.7 million shares held as treasury stock.
ILG has 25 million authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, none of which are issued or outstanding as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue the preferred stock in one or more series and to establish the rights, preferences, and dividends.
In March 2012, May 2012 and August 2012, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share for shareholders of record on April 2, 2012, June 12, 2012 and September 6, 2012, respectively. On each of April 18, 2012, June 26, 2012 and September 20, 2012, a cash dividend of $5.7 million was paid.
Dividend Declared
In November 2012, our Board of Directors declared a $0.10 per share dividend payable December 18, 2012 to shareholders of record on December 4, 2012. Based on the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2012, at a dividend of $0.10 per share, the anticipated cash outflow would be $5.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Stockholder Rights Plan
In June 2009, ILG's Board of Directors approved the creation of a Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, adopted a stockholders rights plan and declared a dividend of one right for each outstanding share of common stock held by our stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 22, 2009. The rights attach to any additional shares of common stock issued after June 22, 2009. These rights, which trade with the shares of our common stock, currently are not exercisable. Under the rights plan, these rights will be exercisable if a person or group acquires or commences a tender or exchange offer for 15% or more of our common stock. The rights plan provides certain exceptions for acquisitions by Liberty Interactive Corporation (formerly known as Liberty Media Corporation) in accordance with an agreement entered into with ILG in connection with its spin-off from IAC. If the rights become exercisable, each right will permit its holder, other than the "acquiring person," to

purchase from us shares of common stock at a 50% discount to the then prevailing market price. As a result, the rights will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that becomes an "acquiring person" on terms not approved by our Board of Directors.
Share Repurchase Program
Effective August 3, 2011, ILG's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $25.0 million, excluding commissions, of our outstanding common stock. Acquired shares of our common stock are held as treasury shares carried at cost on our consolidated financial statements. Common stock repurchases may be conducted in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of all repurchase transactions are contingent upon market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. This program may be modified, suspended or terminated by us at any time without notice.
During 2011, we repurchased 1.7 million shares of common stock at a cost, including commissions, of $20.9 million under this repurchase program. There were no repurchases of common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, the remaining availability for future repurchases of our common stock was $4.1 million.
NOTE 8—BENEFIT PLANS
Under a retirement savings plan sponsored by ILG, qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, participating employees may contribute up to 50.0% of their pre-tax earnings, but not more than statutory limits. ILG provides a discretionary match under the ILG plan of fifty cents for each dollar a participant contributed into the plan with a maximum contribution of 3% of a participant's eligible earnings, subject to IRS restrictions. On March 1, 2011, we reinstated the matching contributions under the 401(k) plan for certain businesses, all of which had been suspended since March 1, 2009. Matching contributions for the ILG plan were approximately $0.4 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and approximately $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Matching contributions were invested in the same manner as each participant's voluntary contributions in the investment options provided under the plan.
Effective August 20, 2008, a deferred compensation plan (the "Director Plan") was established to provide non-employee directors of ILG an option to defer director fees on a tax-deferred basis. Participants in the Director Plan are allowed to defer a portion or all of their compensation and are 100% vested in their respective deferrals and earnings. With respect to director fees earned for services performed after the date of such election, participants may choose from receiving cash or stock at the end of the deferral period. ILG has reserved 100,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to this plan, of which 34,761 share units were outstanding at September 30, 2012. ILG does not provide matching or discretionary contributions to participants in the Director Plan. Any deferred compensation elected to be received in stock is included in diluted earnings per share.

NOTE 9—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
RSUs are awards in the form of phantom shares or units, denominated in a hypothetical equivalent number of shares of ILG common stock and with the value of each award equal to the fair value of ILG common stock at the date of grant. All outstanding award agreements provide for settlement, upon vesting, in stock for U.S. employees. For non-U.S. employees, all grants issued prior to the spin-off provide for settlement upon vesting in cash, while grants since the spin-off provide for settlement upon vesting in stock. Each RSU is subject to service-based vesting, where a specific period of continued employment must pass before an award vests. We grant awards subject to graded vesting (i.e. portions of the award vest at different times during the vesting period) or to cliff vesting (i.e. all awards vest at the end of the vesting period). Certain RSUs, in addition, are subject to attaining specific performance criteria.
ILG recognizes non-cash compensation expense for all RSUs held by ILG's employees (including RSUs for stock of IAC or the other spun-off companies held by ILG employees) for which vesting is considered probable. For RSUs to be settled in stock, the accounting charge is measured at the grant date as the fair value of ILG common stock and expensed as non-cash compensation over the vesting term using the straight-line basis for service awards and the accelerated basis for performance-based awards with graded vesting. For certain cliff vesting awards with performance criteria, we also use anticipated future results of operations or the achievement of certain market conditions in determining the fair value of the award. Such value is recognized as expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures, using the straight-line recognition method. The expense associated with RSU awards to be settled in cash is initially measured at fair value at the grant date and expensed ratably over the vesting term, recording a liability subject to mark-to-market adjustments for changes in the price of the respective common stock, as compensation expense.
RSUs are not issued or outstanding until vested. In relation to our quarterly dividend, unvested RSUs are credited with dividend equivalents, in the form of additional RSUs, when dividends are paid on our shares of common stock. Such additional RSUs will have the same vesting dates and will vest under the same terms as the RSUs in respect of which such additional RSUs are credited.
On August 20, 2008, ILG established the ILG 2008 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan (the "2008 Incentive Plan") which provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards. In connection with the spin-off, certain prior awards under IAC's plans were adjusted to convert, in whole or in part, to awards under the 2008 Incentive Plan under which RSUs and options relating to 2.9 million shares of common stock were issued. At the time of the spin-off, an additional 5.0 million shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2008 Incentive Plan. As of September 30, 2012, ILG has 1.7 million remaining shares available for future issuance under this plan.
On March 6, 2012 and March 2, 2011, the Compensation Committee granted approximately 586,000 and 378,000 RSUs, respectively, vesting over three to four years, to certain officers and employees of ILG and its subsidiaries. Of the RSUs granted in 2012, approximately 130,000 cliff vest in three years and approximately 73,000 of these RSUs are subject to performance criteria that could result between 0% and 200% of these awards being earned based on defined EBITDA or relative total shareholder return targets over the respective performance period. Of the RSUs granted in 2011,

approximately 50,000 cliff vest in three years and are subject to performance criteria that could result between 0% and 200% of these awards being earned based on defined EBITDA targets.
For the 2012 RSUs subject to relative total shareholder return performance criteria, the number of RSUs that may ultimately be awarded depends on whether the market condition is achieved. We used a Monte Carlo simulation analysis to estimate a $17.34 per unit grant date fair value for these performance based RSUs. This analysis estimates the total shareholder return ranking of ILG as of the grant date relative to two peer groups, approved by the Compensation Committee, over the remaining performance period. The expected volatility of ILG's common stock at the date of grant was estimated based on a historical average volatility rate for the approximate three-year performance period. The dividend yield assumption was based on historical and anticipated dividend payouts. The risk-free interest rate assumption was based on observed interest rates consistent with the approximate three-year performance measurement period.
Non-cash compensation expense related to RSUs for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $2.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, non-cash compensation expense related to RSUs was $8.7 million and $8.8 million, respectively. At September 30, 2012, there was approximately $13.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to RSUs, which is currently expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.7 years.
The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of income is reduced by estimated forfeitures, as the amount recorded is based on awards ultimately expected to vest. The forfeiture rate is estimated at the grant date based on historical experience and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods for any changes to the estimated forfeiture rate from that previously estimated. For any vesting tranche of an award, the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized is at least equal to the portion of the grant-date value of the award tranche that is actually vested at that date.
Non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to equity awards is included in the following line items in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

In connection with the acquisition of Aston by ILG in 2007, a member of Aston's management was granted non-voting restricted common equity in Aston. This award was granted on May 31, 2007 and was initially measured at fair value, which was amortized over the vesting period. This award vests ratably over four and a half years, or earlier based upon the occurrence of certain prescribed events. These shares are subject to a put right by the holder and a call right by ILG, which are not exercisable until the first quarter of 2013 and annually thereafter. The value of these shares upon exercise of the put or call is equal to their fair market value, determined by negotiation or arbitration, reduced by the accreted value of the preferred interest that was taken by ILG upon the purchase of Aston. The initial value of the preferred interest was equal to the acquisition price of Aston. The preferred interest accretes at a 10% annual rate. Upon exercise of the put or call, the consideration payable can be denominated in ILG shares, cash or a combination thereof at ILG's option. An additional put right by the holder and call right by ILG would require, upon exercise, the purchase of these non-voting common shares by ILG immediately prior to a registered public offering by Aston, at the public offering price. The unrecognized compensation cost related to this equity award was fully amortized at December 31, 2011.
NOTE 10—INCOME TAXES
ILG calculates its interim income tax provision in accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes". At the end of each interim period, ILG makes its best estimate of the annual expected effective tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss. The income tax or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which those items occur. In addition, the effect of a change in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, or judgment on the realizability of a beginning-of-the-year deferred tax asset in future years is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.
The computation of the annual expected effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income (or loss) earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new

events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained or ILG's tax environment changes. To the extent that the estimated annual effective tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in tax expense for the current quarter.
A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided when it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income or the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We consider the history of taxable income in recent years, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies to make this assessment.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, ILG recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $0.6 million and $14.9 million, respectively, which represents effective tax rates of 80.5% and 37.0% for the respective periods. The higher effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to reduced income before income taxes, driven by the loss on the extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of the Interval Senior Notes, which magnified the impact of other income tax items, the most significant of which related to the effect of changes in tax laws in the U.K., as discussed further below, that were enacted during the third quarter of 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the tax rate was higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to state and local income taxes partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the effective tax rate decreased due to other income tax items, the most significant of which related to the tax impact of ILG's redemption of the Interval Senior Notes offset by the effect of changes in tax laws in the U.K., that were enacted during the third quarter of 2012.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, ILG recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $8.0 million and $20.9 million, respectively, which represents effective tax rates of 41.1% and 39.4% for the respective periods. These tax rates are higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to state and local income taxes partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the effective tax rate increased due to other income tax items, the most significant related to the effect of changes in tax laws in the U.K., that were enacted during the third quarter of 2011.
As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, ILG had unrecognized tax benefits of $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the unrecognized tax benefits increased by approximately $0.1 million as a result of other income tax items, primarily related to certain tax credits. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the unrecognized tax benefits decreased by a net amount of approximately $0.1 million as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations related to foreign taxes during the first quarter of 2012, partly offset by other income tax items in the third quarter of 2012. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2012, ILG acquired VRI, a domestic S corporation for income tax purposes. During the tax due diligence review of the S corporation status of VRI, a number of potential issues emerged that required a private letter ruling for assurance of VRI's S corporation status for the period prior to the acquisition. The ruling requested inadvertent termination relief if any of the identified issues

inadvertently terminated VRI's S corporation election. VRI submitted the ruling request to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") on February 29, 2012. During the third quarter of 2012, the private letter ruling was received from the IRS granting VRI inadvertent termination relief. Accordingly, no adjustment was required to be made to the financial statements.
ILG recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. There were no material accruals for interest for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, interest and penalties decreased by approximately $0.2 million during the first quarter of 2012 as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations related to foreign taxes. As of September 30, 2012, ILG had accrued $0.6 million for interest and penalties.
ILG believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $0.3 million within twelve months of the current reporting date due primarily to the expiration of the statute of limitations related to foreign taxes and settlements with taxing authorities on other income tax items. An estimate of other changes in unrecognized tax benefits cannot be made, but is not expected to be significant.
By virtue of previously filed separate company and consolidated tax returns with IAC, ILG is routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign taxing authorities. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. Income taxes payable include amounts considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year returns; however, the amount paid upon resolution of issues raised may differ from the amount provided. Differences between the reserves for tax contingencies and the amounts owed by ILG are recorded in the period they become known. Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, IAC indemnifies ILG for all consolidated tax liabilities and related interest and penalties for the pre-spin period.
The IRS has substantially completed its review of IAC's consolidated tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2001 through 2006, which includes our operations from September 24, 2002, our date of acquisition by IAC. The settlement has not yet been submitted to the Joint Committee of Taxation for approval. In July 2011, the IRS began its review of IAC's consolidated tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2007 through 2009, which also includes our operations until the time of the spin-off in August 2008. The statute of limitations for the years 2001 through 2008 has been extended to December 31, 2013. Various IAC consolidated tax returns that include our operations, filed with state and local jurisdictions, are currently under examination, the most significant of which are California, New York and New York City for various tax years beginning with 2005. The IRS is also currently examining ILG's federal consolidated tax return for the short period following the spin-off and ended December 31, 2008. The statute of limitations for the short period following the spin-off and ended December 31, 2008 has been extended to June 30, 2013. This examination is expected to be completed prior to the expiration of the extended statute of limitations in 2013. Additionally during the third quarter of 2012, the State of Florida completed its examination of ILG's consolidated state tax return for the short period following the spin-off and ended December 31, 2008 as well as for the tax year ended December 31, 2009.

During 2011, the U.K. Finance Act of 2011 was enacted, which further reduced the U.K. corporate income tax rate to 26%, effective April 1, 2011 and 25%, effective April 1, 2012. The impact of the U.K. rate reduction to 26% and 25%, which reduced our U.K. net deferred tax asset and increased income tax expense, was reflected in the reporting period when the law was enacted. During the third quarter of 2012, the U.K. Finance Act of 2012 was enacted which further reduced the U.K. corporate income tax rate to 24%, effective April 1, 2012 and 23%, effective April 1, 2013. The impact of the U.K. rate reduction to 24% and 23% has been reflected in the current reporting period. It reduced our U.K. net deferred tax asset and increased income tax expense by approximately $0.4 million. The change in the corporate tax rate initially negatively impacts income tax expense as the future benefit expected to be realized from our U.K. net deferred tax assets decreases; however, going forward, the lower corporate tax rate will decrease income tax expense and favorably impact our effective tax rate.
NOTE 11—SEGMENT INFORMATION
Pursuant to FASB guidance as codified in ASC 280, an operating segment is a component of a public entity (1) that engages in business activities that may earn revenues and incur expenses; (2) for which operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess its performance; and (3) for which discrete financial information is available. We also considered how the businesses are organized as to segment management, and the focus of the businesses with regards to the types of products or services offered. ILG consists of two operating segments which are also reportable segments. Membership and Exchange, our principal operating segment, offers travel and leisure related products and services to owners of vacation interests and others mostly through various membership programs, as well as related services to resort developer clients. Management and Rental, our other operating segment, provides hotel, condominium resort, timeshare resort and homeowners association management, and rental services to both vacation property owners and vacationers.

NOTE 12—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, ILG is a party to various legal proceedings. ILG establishes reserves for specific legal matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. ILG does not establish reserves for identified legal matters when ILG believes that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is not probable. Although management currently believes that an unfavorable resolution of claims against ILG, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of ILG, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future. ILG also evaluates other contingent matters, including tax contingencies, to assess the probability and estimated extent of potential loss. See Note 10 for a discussion of income tax contingencies.
Other items, such as certain purchase commitments and guarantees are not recognized as liabilities in our consolidated financial statements but are required to be disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements. These funding commitments could potentially require our performance in the event of demands by third parties or contingent events. At September 30, 2012, guarantees, surety bonds and letters of credit totaled $35.2 million, with the highest annual amount of $12.2 million occurring in year one. Guarantees represent $32.6 million of this total and primarily relate to the Management and Rental segment's hotel and resort management agreements of Aston, including those with guaranteed dollar amounts, and accommodation leases supporting the management activities of Aston, entered into on behalf of the property owners for which either party may terminate such leases

upon 60 days prior written notice to the other. In addition, certain of the Management and Rental segment's hotel and resort management agreements of Aston provide that owners receive specified percentages of the revenue generated under its management. In these cases, the operating expenses for the rental operations are paid from the revenue generated by the rentals, the owners are then paid their contractual percentages, and the Management and Rental segment either retains the balance (if any) as its management fee or makes up the deficit. Although such deficits are reasonably possible in a few of these agreements, as of September 30, 2012, future amounts are not expected to be significant, individually or in the aggregate.
The purchase obligations primarily relate to future guaranteed purchases of rental inventory, operational support services and membership fulfillment benefits. Aston also enters into agreements, as principal, for services purchased on behalf of property owners for which it is subsequently reimbursed. As such, Aston is the primary obligor and may be liable for unreimbursed costs. As of September 30, 2012, amounts pending reimbursements are not significant.
European Union Value Added Tax Matter
In 2009, the European Court of Justice issued a judgment related to Value Added Tax ("VAT") in Europe against an unrelated party. The judgment affects companies who transact within the European Union ("EU"), specifically providers of vacation interest exchange services, and altered the manner in which the Membership and Exchange segment accounts for VAT on its revenues as well as to which EU country VAT is owed. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, ILG had an accrual of $4.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively, representing the net exposure of any VAT reclaim refund receivable and accrued VAT liabilities related to this matter. The net change in the accrual primarily relates to the receipt of $5.1 million during the first quarter 2012 on the VAT reclaim refund from one of the jurisdictions which increased the net VAT accrual balance as of September 30, 2012. This increase was partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease due to the change in estimate primarily to update the periods for which the accrued VAT liabilities are due, $0.5 million in payments, as well as the effect of foreign currency remeasurements. The change in estimate resulted in a favorable adjustment to our consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate outcome and settlement of these VAT liabilities, it is reasonably possible that future costs to settle these VAT liabilities may range from $4.8 million up to approximately $6.9 million based on quarter-end exchange rates. ILG believes that the $4.8 million accrual at September 30, 2012 is our best estimate of probable future obligations for the settlement of these VAT liabilities. The difference between the probable and reasonably possible amounts is primarily attributable to the assessment of certain potential penalties.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The use of words such as "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "plans" and "believes," and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "should," "would," "may" and "could" among others, generally identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements relating to: our future financial performance, our business prospects and strategy, anticipated financial position, liquidity and capital needs and other similar matters.

General Description of our Business
ILG is a leading global provider of membership and leisure services to the vacation industry. We operate in two operating segments: Membership and Exchange and Management and Rental. Our principal operating segment, Membership and Exchange, offers travel and leisure related products and services to owners of vacation interests and others primarily through various membership programs, as well as related services to resort developer clients. Management and Rental, our other business segment, provides hotel, condominium resort, timeshare resort and homeowners association management, and rental services to both vacation property owners and vacationers.
Membership and Exchange Services
Interval, the principal business comprising our Membership and Exchange segment, has been a leader in the membership and exchange services industry since its founding in 1976. As of September 30, 2012, Interval's primary operation is the Interval Network, a quality global vacation ownership membership exchange network with:
- •
- a large and diversified base of participating resorts consisting of approximately 2,700 resorts located in over 75 countries, including both leading independent resort developers and branded hospitality companies; and
- •
- approximately 1.9 million vacation ownership interest owners enrolled as members of the Interval Network.
Interval typically enters into multi-year contracts with developers of vacation ownership resorts, pursuant to which the resort developers agree to enroll all purchasers of vacation interests at the applicable resort as members of an Interval exchange program. In return, Interval provides enrolled purchasers with the ability to exchange the use and occupancy of their vacation interest at the home resort (generally for a period of one week) for the right to occupy accommodations at a different resort participating in an Interval exchange network. Through Interval's Getaways, members may rent resort accommodations for a fee without relinquishing the use of their vacation interest. In addition, Interval offers sales, marketing and operational support, consulting and back-office services, including reservation servicing, to certain resort developers participating in the Interval Network, upon their request and for additional consideration.
The Membership and Exchange segment earns most of its revenue from (i) fees paid for membership in the Interval Network and (ii) Interval Network transactional and service fees paid primarily for exchanges, Getaways, reservation servicing, and related transactions collectively referred to as "transaction revenue."
Management and Rental Services
We also provide management and rental services to hotels as well as condominium and timeshare resorts and their homeowners associations through Aston, Vacation Resorts International ("VRI") and Trading Places International ("TPI"). Such vacation properties and hotels are not owned by us. Aston is based in Hawaii and concentrates largely on hotel and condominium resort management primarily in Hawaii, as well as vacation property rental and related services (including common area and owner association management services for condominium projects). TPI provides timeshare resort and homeowners association management services as well as vacation rentals. On February 28, 2012, we acquired VRI, the largest independent provider of resort and homeowners association management services to the shared ownership industry.
30
As of September 30, 2012, the businesses that comprise our Management and Rental segment provided management and rental services at over 200 vacation properties, resorts and club locations in North America as well as more limited management services to certain additional properties.
Revenue from the Management and Rental segment is derived principally from fees for hotel, condominium resort, timeshare resort and homeowners association management and rental services. Management fees consist of a base management fee and, in some instances for hotels or condominium resorts, an incentive management fee which is generally a percentage of operating profits or improvement in operating profits. Service fee revenue is based on the services provided to owners including reservations, sales and marketing, property accounting and information technology services either internally or through third party providers. A majority of Aston's hotel and condominium resort management agreements provide that owners receive either specified percentages of the revenue generated under our management or guaranteed dollar amounts. In these cases, the operating expenses for the rental operation are paid from the revenue generated by the rentals, the owners are then paid their contractual percentages or amounts, and the Management and Rental segment either retains the balance (if any) as its management fee or makes up the deficit.
International Operations
International revenue remained relatively flat in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and increased approximately 2.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011. As a percentage of our total revenue, international revenue decreased to 13.7% and 14.5% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, from 15.0% and 15.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The decreases as a percentage of total revenue are attributable to higher U.S. revenue mainly due to our newly acquired VRI business.
Other Factors Affecting Results
Membership and Exchange
The consolidation of resort developers driven by bankruptcies and the lack of receivables financing has resulted in a decrease in the flow of new members from point of sale to our exchange networks. While access to receivables financing has improved, financing standards for consumers remain higher than those required several years ago. Developers are continuing to modify their business models whereby a high proportion of sales are to their existing owners, which does not result in new members to the Interval Network.
In addition, our 2012 results continue to be negatively affected by a shift in the percentage mix of our membership base from traditional, direct renewal members to corporate members who are renewed directly by the respective developer and tend to have a lower propensity to transact with us. Consequently, we work to structure our corporate membership arrangements such that there is a reservation servicing component which partly offsets the anticipated lower transaction propensity.
Management and Rental
Our Management and Rental segment results are susceptible to variations in economic conditions, particularly in its primary market, Hawaii. According to the Hawaii Tourism Authority, visitor arrivals by air in Hawaii have increased 8.4% and 9.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. This is consistent with Aston's managed properties in Hawaii experiencing increases in occupancy, leading to overall increases of 18.0% and 16.7% in revenue per available room ("RevPAR") in Hawaii for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011, respectively. These increases in RevPAR in Hawaii were driven by both higher average daily rates and occupancy.
31
As of the latest forecast (August 2012), the Hawaii Department for Business, Economic Development and Tourism forecasts increases of 8.6% in visitors to Hawaii and 15.2% in visitor expenditures in 2012 over 2011. Additionally, our third quarter and year-to-date 2012 results include the results of operations from VRI for the months subsequent to our February 28, 2012 acquisition.
Liquidity
On June 21, 2012, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement which provides, among other things, a $500 million revolving credit facility, as further discussed in Note 5 of the interim consolidated financial statements included in this report. The interest rate on the amended credit agreement is based on (at our election) either LIBOR plus a predetermined margin that ranges from 1.25% to 2.25%, or the Base Rate, as defined, plus a predetermined margin that ranges from 0.25% to 1.25%, in each case based on ILG's leverage ratio. On September 4, 2012, we redeemed all of our 9.5% senior notes at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, at which time the senior notes were no longer deemed to be outstanding and our obligations under the indenture, as previously supplemented, terminated. Additionally, the extinguishment of our senior notes resulted in a non-cash, pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt of $17.9 million during the third quarter of 2012 principally pertaining to the acceleration of the original issue discount and the write-off of the related unamortized deferred debt issuance costs. This non-cash charge is presented as a separate line item within other income (expense) in our consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Outlook
Throughout 2012, the vacation ownership industry remained in a period of transition that resulted in the bankruptcy, restructuring and consolidation of developers as well as continued modifications to their business models. We expect additional consolidation and reorganizations within the industry into 2013. Additionally, we anticipate margin compression and increased competition in our membership and exchange business resulting from developers' proprietary clubs.
For the Management and Rental segment, we expect Aston's RevPAR to continue to show year-over-year improvement as its primary market, Hawaii, continues its tourism recovery; however, increases in airfare may negatively impact visitor arrivals from the mainland and temper growth. Additionally, our comparative results for the remainder of 2012 will be favorably impacted by the inclusion of the results of operations from VRI subsequent to our acquisition.
Lastly, during the second quarter of 2012, the ownership and debt structure of one of Aston's largest managed properties was restructured. This caused Aston's management agreement for the property to be modified, Aston's compensation to be reduced and the remaining term to be shortened, with short-term renewals at the option of the new property owner. Consequently, during the second and third quarter we assessed the impact of these modifications on our Management and Rental operating segment to determine whether an interim impairment test of long-lived assets and goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets is warranted as of September 30, 2012. The result of these assessments did not indicate that assets might be impaired and, therefore, an interim impairment test was not warranted at this time.

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased $10.5 million, or 9.8%, from the comparable period in 2011. Management and Rental segment revenue increased $10.6 million, or 51.8%, in the quarter compared to the prior year. Membership and Exchange segment revenue was relatively in-line with the prior year, decreasing $0.1 million.
Membership and Exchange
Total active members in the Interval Network at September 30, 2012 increased to approximately 1.86 million members as compared to approximately 1.79 million members at September 30, 2011, an increase of 3.6%. This led to an increase of $0.3 million, or 1.0%, in membership fee revenue during the period, partly offset by lower average membership fee revenue per member. On the other hand, transaction revenue was lower by $0.2 million primarily due to a $1.0 million decrease in revenue from exchanges and Getaways, resulting from a 3.9% decrease in exchange and Getaway transaction volume during the quarter compared to 2011 which was partly offset by a 1.6% increase in average fee per transaction. However, this decrease in transaction revenue also was partly offset by higher reservation servicing and other transaction related fees of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Lower transaction volume and higher reservation servicing revenue are related to a shift in the percentage mix of our membership base from traditional to corporate members. Overall Interval Network average revenue per member was $43.54 in the third quarter of 2012, a decrease of 3.6% from $45.15 in the prior year.
Management and Rental
The increase of $6.6 million, or 78.2%, in management fee and rental revenue includes $5.5 million of incremental VRI management fee revenue and an increase of $0.5 million contribution from TPI primarily related to the addition of new property management contracts subsequent to the start of the third quarter of 2011. Fee income earned from managed hotel and condominium resort properties at Aston increased $0.6 million, or 8.3%, during the quarter compared to the prior year
33
quarter due to an 18.9% increase in RevPAR to $134.45 driven by an 11.3% higher average daily rate and a 6.8% improvement in occupancy rates in the third quarter.
Additionally, this segment reported an increase of $4.0 million, or 33.1%, in reimbursed compensation and other employee-related costs directly associated with managing properties that are included in both revenue and expenses and that are passed on to the property owners or homeowners association without mark-up ("pass-through revenue"). The increase in pass-through revenue is mostly related to our acquisition of VRI and, to a lesser extent, increases at Aston and TPI related to higher occupied room nights and new property management contracts, respectively.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased $33.4 million, or 10.1%, from the comparable period in 2011. Membership and Exchange segment revenue increased $6.7 million, or 2.5%, in the period compared to the prior year and Management and Rental segment revenue increased $26.6 million, or 44.9%, from 2011.
Membership and Exchange
The increase of $6.7 million in Membership and Exchange segment revenue in 2012 is primarily due to increases in transaction revenue and other revenue of $6.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The rise in transaction revenue for the nine month period is the result of a strong first-half of 2012 which returned higher revenue from exchanges and Getaways by $2.4 million and increases in reservation servicing and other transaction related fees of $1.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Higher transaction revenue from exchanges and Getaways was due to a 5.7% increase in average fee per transaction, partially offset by a 3.7% decrease in exchange and Getaway transaction volume. Lower transaction volume is related to a shift in the percentage mix of our membership base from traditional to corporate members. Membership fee revenue during the first nine months of 2012 was relatively consistent with 2011. The increase in other revenue in the nine month period is primarily attributable to the membership and exchange related activities of TPI and the inclusion of VRI subsequent to our acquisition in February 2012. Overall Interval Network average revenue per member of $141.00 for 2012 is in-line with $140.61 of the prior year.
34
Management and Rental
The increase of $16.9 million, or 69.9%, in management fee and rental revenue includes $12.9 million of incremental VRI management fee revenue and a $1.9 million contribution from TPI largely related to the addition of new property management contracts. Fee income earned from managed hotel and condominium resort properties at Aston increased $2.1 million, or 11.2% in 2012 due to an 18.5% increase in RevPAR to $131.84 driven by a 10.0% higher average daily rate and a 7.7% improvement in occupancy rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
The increase of $9.7 million, or 27.7%, in pass-through revenue is mostly related to our acquisition of VRI and, to a lesser extent, increases at Aston and TPI attributable to higher occupied room nights and new property management contracts, respectively.

Cost of sales consists primarily of compensation and other employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel engaged in servicing members of the Membership and Exchange segment and providing services to property owners and/or guests of the Management and Rental segment's managed vacation properties, as well as cost of rental inventory used primarily for Getaways included within the Membership and Exchange segment.
Cost of sales in the third quarter of 2012 increased $7.0 million from 2011, consisting of an increase of $1.0 million from our Membership and Exchange segment and $6.1 million from our Management and Rental segment. Overall gross margin decreased 4.6% to 64.4% this quarter compared to 2011, primarily due to increased gross profit contribution from our lower-margin Management and Rental segment relative to total ILG gross profit.
Gross margin for the Membership and Exchange segment decreased by 1.5% as compared to the prior year. Cost of sales for this segment increased $1.0 million primarily due to an increase of $0.8 million in compensation and other employee related costs. This increase mainly pertained to our call center and related member servicing activities which, coupled with increases of $0.2 million in membership fulfillment related expenses and $0.3 million in telecommunications costs related to member servicing , were in part attributable to an increase in the number of active members in our Interval Network resulting from the affiliation of two corporate accounts during the first half of 2012. These increases were partly offset by a $0.2 million decrease in cost of purchased inventory during the
35
quarter. The lower cost of purchased inventory was attributable mainly to a decrease in the average cost per unit of this purchased inventory, partly offset by a higher proportion of purchased inventory utilized during the quarter.
The increase of $6.1 million in cost of sales from the Management and Rental segment was primarily attributable to an increase of $4.0 million in segment pass-through revenue coupled with an increase of $1.8 million in other incremental expenses related to VRI. Gross margin for this segment increased 22.0% to 31.8% in the third quarter of 2012 compared to 2011. The Management and Rental segment has lower gross margins than our Membership and Exchange segment largely due to the pass-through revenue. Excluding the effect of pass-through revenue, gross margin for this segment increased 3.9% to 65.5% during the third quarter compared to prior year.

General and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation and other employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel engaged in finance, legal, tax, human resources, information technology and executive management functions, as well as facilities costs, fees for professional services and other company-wide benefits.
General and administrative expense in the third quarter 2012 increased $3.4 million from 2011, primarily due to an increase of $2.6 million in overall compensation and other employee-related costs as well as other incremental expenses of $0.9 million from VRI, an unfavorable variance of $1.1 million in our estimated accrual for European Union ("EU") Value Added Tax ("VAT"), primarily due to the $1.1 million change in estimate recorded in the third quarter of 2011, and an unfavorable variance of $0.3 million in operating currency impact resulting from foreign currency remeasurements of operating assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency. These changes were partly offset by a favorable net change of $1.8 million in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to an acquisition, primarily due to the $1.2 million unfavorable change in estimate recorded in the third quarter of 2011 compared to a $0.7 million favorable change in estimate recorded in the current quarter.
The $2.6 million increase in overall compensation and other employee-related costs was primarily due to $1.6 million of incremental compensation and other employee-related expenses from VRI, an increase in health and welfare insurance expense of $1.0 million due to higher self-insured claim activity in the quarter, as well as increases in other employee-related costs. These higher employee-related costs were partly offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in non-cash compensation expense mainly due to awards granted at spin-off, vesting fully during the third quarter of 2012.
As a percentage of total revenue and total revenue excluding pass-through revenue, general and administrative expense increased 4.3% and 7.1%, respectively, during the third quarter of 2012 compared to the prior year.

General and administrative expense increased $7.3 million from 2011, primarily due to an increase of $6.7 million in overall compensation and other employee-related costs, other incremental expenses of $2.1 million from VRI and certain other miscellaneous increases primarily at Aston, partly offset by a favorable net change of $1.8 million in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to an acquisition.
The $6.7 million increase in overall compensation and other employee-related costs was primarily due to $3.8 million of incremental compensation and other employee-related expenses from VRI, an increase of $1.2 million in health and welfare insurance expense due to higher self-insured claim activity in 2012, and various other increases in compensation and employee-related costs. These higher employee-related costs were partly offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in non-cash compensation expense mainly due to awards granted at spin-off, vesting fully during the third quarter of 2012.

Operating income in the third quarter was relatively consistent with the prior year, increasing slightly by $0.3 million or 1.2%, and was comprised of a decrease of $1.6 million from our Membership and Exchange segment and an increase of $1.9 million from our Management and Rental segment.
Operating income for our Membership and Exchange segment decreased $1.6 million to $23.4 million in the third quarter 2012 from 2011 due to lower segment operating results, partly offset by the positive contributions from VRI's membership and exchange activities and a favorable net change of $0.9 million in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to an acquisition.
The increase in operating income of $1.9 million at our Management and Rental segment is primarily due to improved operating results at Aston during the quarter, incremental contributions from VRI and a favorable net change of $0.9 million in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to an acquisition.

Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter 2012 was relatively in-line with the prior year, decreasing slightly by $0.2 million, or 0.6%, consisting of a decrease of $2.6 million from our Membership and Exchange segment and an increase of $2.3 million from our Management and Rental segment.
Adjusted EBITDA from our Membership and Exchange segment decreased $2.6 million to $33.7 million in 2012 from $36.3 million in 2011. The decline in this segment's Adjusted EBITDA is primarily due to a continuing contraction in gross margin in part driven by a shift in percentage mix of the membership base from traditional to corporate members, who have a lower propensity to transact with us and a reduced membership fee. Additionally, the segment's results were negatively affected by increased health and welfare insurance expense resulting from higher self-insured claim activity in the quarter and an unfavorable variance of $1.1 million in our estimated accrual for EU VAT. Such was partly offset by incremental contributions from VRI and a favorable net change of $0.9 million in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to an acquisition.
Adjusted EBITDA from our Management and Rental segment increased $2.3 million to $4.4 million in 2012 from $2.1 million in 2011. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA in this segment is primarily due to higher gross profit of $4.6 million delivered mainly as a result of the inclusion of VRI in our results of operations, improvement in Aston's RevPAR during the quarter, new property management contracts gained at TPI subsequent to the start of the third quarter of 2011, as well as the favorable net change of $0.9 million in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to an acquisition. This was partly offset by an increase of $2.5 million in general and administrative expense due to the inclusion of VRI's general and administrative expenses and, to a lesser extent, various other increases within Aston's general and administrative expenses.

41
Adjusted EBITDA from our Membership and Exchange segment of $111.9 million was relatively in-line with prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for this segment reflects a strong first half of 2012 that was subsequently impacted by margin compression in the third quarter, as previously discussed, due to a shift in percentage mix of the membership base which has negatively affected transaction propensity and average membership fee per member. Additionally, the segment experienced higher overall compensation and employee-related costs, particularly driven by rising health and welfare insurance expense due to higher self-insured claim activity in the period. Such was partly offset by the inclusion of VRI's results, the favorable contribution from the membership and exchange activities of TPI, as well as a favorable net change of $0.9 million in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to an acquisition.
Adjusted EBITDA from our Management and Rental segment increased $5.7 million to $11.3 million in 2012 from $5.6 million in 2011. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA in this segment is primarily driven by higher gross profit of $11.8 million delivered mainly from the inclusion of VRI in our results of operations, improvement in Aston's RevPAR during the year, new property management contracts gained at TPI subsequent to the start of the third quarter 2011, in addition to a favorable net change, between the third quarter of 2011 and 2012, of $0.9 million in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to an acquisition. This was partly offset by higher general and administrative expenses of $5.9 million due to the inclusion of VRI's general and administrative expenses in our results and, to a lesser extent, various other increases within Aston and TPI's general and administrative expenses.

Interest income increased $0.1 million in the third quarter 2012 compared to 2011 primarily as a result of interest earned on loans issued in periods subsequent to the third quarter 2011.
Interest expense primarily relates to interest and amortization of debt costs related to our senior notes, which were extinguished on September 4, 2012, and our amended and restated revolving credit facility entered into on June 21, 2012. The senior notes were initially recorded with an original issue discount of $23.5 million, of which $0.5 million and $0.6 million were amortized in the third quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Lower interest expense during the quarter is primarily due to (1) the extinguishment of our term loan on June 21, 2012, compared to the then outstanding principal balance on our term loan during the third quarter of 2011, (2) our senior notes being outstanding only through September 4, 2012 and (3) the prevailing interest rates on our revolving credit facility compare favorably against the extinguished indebtedness.
Other income (expense), net primarily relates to net gains and losses on foreign currency exchange related to cash held in certain countries in currencies other than their local currency. Non-operating foreign exchange net loss was $0.9 million for the third quarter 2012 compared to a net gain of $2.5 million in 2011. The unfavorable fluctuations during the third quarter of 2012 were principally driven by U.S. dollar positions held at September 30, 2012 affected by the weaker dollar compared to the Mexican peso. The favorable fluctuations during the third quarter of 2011 were principally driven by U.S. dollar positions held at September 30, 2011 affected by the stronger dollar compared to the Mexican and Colombian pesos.
42
Additionally, in connection with the redemption of our senior notes on September 4, 2012, we recognized a loss of $17.9 million in the third quarter 2012 on the early extinguishment of this debt resulting from the acceleration of related unamortized debt issuance costs and remaining original issue discount. This loss is presented as a separate line item within other income (expense) in our consolidated statements of income for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Interest income increased $0.7 million in the first nine months of 2012 compared to 2011 primarily as a result of interest earned on loans issued in periods subsequent to the third quarter 2011.
Interest expense primarily relates to interest and amortization of debt costs on the term loan and senior notes, which were extinguished on June 21, 2012 and September 4, 2012, respectively, and our amended and restated revolving credit facility entered into on June 21, 2012. The senior notes were initially recorded with an original issue discount of $23.5 million of which $1.8 million and $1.9 million were amortized in the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Lower interest expense during the 2012 is primarily due to (1) the extinguishment of our term loan on June 21, 2012, compared to the then outstanding principal balance on our term loan during third quarter 2011, (2) our senior notes being outstanding only through September 4, 2012, and (3) the prevailing interest rates on our revolving credit facility compare favorably against the extinguished indebtedness.
Other income (expense), net primarily relates to net gains and losses on foreign currency exchange related to cash held in certain countries in currencies other than their local currency. Non-operating foreign exchange net loss was $2.1 million for the third quarter 2012 compared to a net gain of $1.0 million in 2011. The unfavorable fluctuations during 2012 were principally driven by U.S. dollar positions held at September 30, 2012 affected by the weaker dollar compared to the Mexican and Colombian peso. The favorable fluctuations during 2011 were principally driven by U.S. dollar positions held at September 30, 2011 affected by the stronger dollar compared to the Mexican peso, partly offset by a weaker dollar compared to the Colombian peso.
Additionally, in connection with the repayment of our term loan on June 21, 2012 and the redemption of our senior notes on September 4, 2012, we recognized a loss of $18.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 on the early extinguishment of this indebtedness resulting from the acceleration of related unamortized debt issuance costs and the remaining original issue discount on the senior notes.

Income Tax Provision
For the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011
For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, ILG recorded income tax provisions for continuing operations of $0.6 million and $8.0 million, respectively, which represent effective tax rates of 80.5% and 41.1%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to a reduced income before income taxes, driven by the loss on the extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of the senior notes, which magnified the
43
impact of other income tax items, the most significant of which related to the effect of changes in tax laws in the U.K., as discussed further below, that were enacted during the third quarter of 2012. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the tax rate is higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to state and local income taxes partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the effective tax rate increased due to other income tax items, the most significant related to the effect of changes in tax laws in the U.K., that were enacted during the third quarter of 2011.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, ILG recorded income tax provisions for continuing operations of $14.9 million and $20.9 million, respectively, which represent effective tax rates of 37.0% and 39.4%, respectively. These tax rates are higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to state and local income taxes partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the effective tax rate decreased due to other income tax items, the most significant of which related to the tax impact of ILG's redemption of the senior notes offset by the effect of changes in tax laws in the U.K., as discussed further below, that were enacted during the third quarter of 2012. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the effective tax rate increased due to other income items, the most significant related to the effect of changes in tax laws in the U.K. that were enacted during the third quarter of 2011.
As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, ILG had unrecognized tax benefits of $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the unrecognized tax benefits increased by approximately $0.1 million as a result of other income tax items, primarily related to certain tax credits. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the unrecognized tax benefits decreased by a net amount of approximately $0.1 million as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations related to foreign taxes during the first quarter of 2012, partly offset by other income tax items in the third quarter of 2012. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2012, ILG acquired VRI, a domestic S corporation for income tax purposes. During the tax due diligence review of the S corporation status of VRI, a number of potential issues emerged that required a private letter ruling for assurance of VRI's S corporation status for the period prior to the acquisition. The ruling requested inadvertent termination relief if any of the identified issues inadvertently terminated VRI's S corporation election. VRI submitted the ruling request to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") on February 29, 2012. During the third quarter of 2012, the private letter ruling was received from the IRS granting VRI inadvertent termination relief. Accordingly, no adjustment was required to be made to the financial statements.
ILG recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. There were no material accruals for interest for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, interest and penalties decreased by approximately $0.2 million during the first quarter of 2012 as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations related to foreign taxes. As of September 30, 2012, ILG had accrued $0.6 million for interest and penalties.
ILG believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $0.3 million within twelve months of the current reporting date due primarily to the expiration of the statute of limitations related to foreign taxes and settlements with taxing authorities on other income tax items. An estimate of other changes in unrecognized tax benefits cannot be made, but is not expected to be significant.
By virtue of previously filed separate company and consolidated tax returns with IAC, ILG is routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign taxing authorities. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax
44
jurisdictions. Income taxes payable include amounts considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year returns; however, the amount paid upon resolution of issues raised may differ from the amount provided. Differences between the reserves for tax contingencies and the amounts owed by ILG are recorded in the period they become known. Under a Tax Sharing Agreement, IAC indemnifies ILG for all consolidated tax liabilities and related interest and penalties for the pre-spin period. The IRS is also currently examining ILG's federal consolidated tax return for the short period following the spin-off and ended December 31, 2008. The statute of limitations for the short period following the spin-off and ended December 31, 2008 has been extended to June 30, 2013. This examination is expected to be completed prior to the expiration of the extended statute of limitations in 2013. Additionally during the third quarter of 2012, the State of Florida completed its examination of ILG's consolidated state tax return for the short period following the spin-off and ended December 31, 2008 as well as for the tax year ended December 31, 2009.
During 2011, the U.K. Finance Act of 2011 was enacted, which further reduced the U.K. corporate income tax rate to 26%, effective April 1, 2011 and 25%, effective April 1, 2012. The impact of the U.K. rate reduction to 26% and 25%, which reduced our U.K. net deferred tax asset and increased income tax expense, was reflected in the reporting period when the law was enacted. During the third quarter of 2012, the U.K. Finance Act of 2012 was enacted which further reduced the U.K. corporate income tax rate to 24%, effective April 1, 2012 and 23%, effective April 1, 2013. The impact of the U.K. rate reduction to 24% and 23% has been reflected in the current reporting period. It reduced our U.K. net deferred tax asset and increased income tax expense by approximately $0.4 million. The change in the corporate tax rate initially negatively impacts income tax expense as the future benefit expected to be realized from our U.K. net deferred tax assets decreases; however, going forward, the lower corporate tax rate will decrease income tax expense and favorably impact our effective tax rate.
A further U.K. rate reduction to 22% is expected to be included in a future U.K. Finance Bill. The future corporate income tax rate reduction is expected to have a similar impact on our financial statements, as outlined above, however the actual impact will be dependent on our deferred tax position at that time.
FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of September 30, 2012, we had $137.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents, including $90.5 million of U.S. dollar equivalent or denominated cash deposits held by foreign subsidiaries which are subject to changes in foreign exchange rates. Of this amount, $61.6 million is held in foreign jurisdictions, principally the U.K. Earnings of foreign subsidiaries, except Venezuela, are permanently reinvested. Additional tax provisions would be required should such earnings be repatriated to the U.S. Cash generated by operations is used as our primary source of liquidity. We believe that our cash on hand along with our anticipated operating future cash flows and availability under our $500 million revolving credit facility, which may be increased to up to $700 million subject to certain conditions, are sufficient to fund our operating needs, quarterly cash dividend, capital expenditures, development and expansion of our operations, debt service, investments and other commitments and contingencies for at least the next twelve months. However, our operating cash flow may be impacted by macroeconomic factors outside of our control.
Cash Flows Discussion
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased to $64.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $76.9 million in the same period of 2011. The decrease of $12.7 million from 2011 was principally due to higher income taxes paid related to the timing of certain income tax payments.
45
Net cash used in investing activities of $42.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily related to the VRI acquisition, net of cash acquired, of $40.0 million, disbursements totaling $9.5 million for additional investments in loans receivable, and capital expenditures of $10.4 million primarily related to IT initiatives, all partly offset by the early repayments of existing loans receivable totaling $17.0 million. Interest on the loans receivable are due monthly or quarterly and in some instances may be paid in kind. As of September 30, 2012, an additional $2.8 million is available to be drawn in connection with our financing receivables. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash used in investing activities was $31.7 million resulting from disbursements totaling $16.2 million for loans to third parties, capital expenditures of $9.9 million, primarily related to IT initiatives, and the acquisition of certain management agreements by our Management and Rental segment for $5.6 million.
On June 21, 2012, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement which, among other things (1) provides for a $500 million revolving credit facility in place of the existing senior secured credit facility which consisted of a $50 million revolving facility and a term loan facility with an original principal amount of $150 million, (2) extends the maturity of the credit facility to June 21, 2017, (3) provides for an interest rate on borrowings, commitment fees and letter of credit fees based on ILG and its subsidiaries' consolidated leverage ratio, and (4) may be increased to up to $700 million, subject to certain conditions. As of September 30, 2012, $290.0 million of borrowings were outstanding under the revolving credit facility, with $210.0 million available to be drawn.
On September 4, 2012, we redeemed all of our $300 million senior notes, issued on August 19, 2008, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, amounting to $314.5 million. We funded the redemption through the use of $290.0 million, drawn on our $500 million revolving credit facility, and cash on hand.
Net cash used in financing activities of $89.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to the redemption of our senior notes, principal payments of $56.0 million on the term loan, of which we paid $51.0 million from cash on-hand in June 2012 to fully extinguish the term loan, cash dividends totaling $17.0 million, payments of debt issuance costs of $3.9 million in connection with entering into our amended and restated credit agreement in June 2012, and vesting of restricted stock units, net of withholding taxes. These uses of cash were partially offset by proceeds of the $290.0 million drawn on our revolving credit facility to fund the redemption, proceeds from excess tax benefits from stock-based awards and the exercise of stock options. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash used in financing activities of $34.3 million was principally due to repurchases of our common stock at market prices totaling $17.6 million, including commissions, which settled during the quarter, as well as voluntary principal prepayments on the term loan totaling $15.0 million, and vesting of restricted stock units, net of withholding taxes, all partially offset by excess tax benefits from stock-based awards and proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
Any principal amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are due at maturity. The interest rate on the amended credit agreement is based on (at our election) either LIBOR plus a predetermined margin that ranges from 1.25% to 2.25%, or the Base Rate as defined in the amended credit agreement plus a predetermined margin that ranges from 0.25% to 1.25%, in each case based on the Borrower's leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2012, the applicable margin was 1.75% per annum for LIBOR revolving loans and 0.75% per annum for Base Rate loans. The revolving credit facility has a commitment fee on undrawn amounts that ranges from 0.25% to 0.375% based on the Borrower's leverage ratio and as of September 30, 2012 the commitment fee was 0.275%.
The revolving credit facility has various financial and operating covenants that place significant restrictions on us, including our ability to incur additional indebtedness, to incur additional liens, issue redeemable stock and preferred stock, pay dividends or distributions or redeem or repurchase capital stock, prepay, redeem or repurchase debt, make loans and investments, enter into agreements that
46
restrict distributions from our subsidiaries, sell assets and capital stock of our subsidiaries, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and consolidate or merge with or into or sell substantially all of our assets to another person. The revolving credit facility requires us to meet certain financial covenants requiring the maintenance of a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of consolidated debt, less credit given for foreign cash, over consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, of 3.50 through December 31, 2013 and 3.25 thereafter. Additionally, we are required to maintain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA over consolidated interest expense, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, of 3.0. As of September 30, 2012, ILG was in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all applicable financial and operating covenants and our consolidated leverage ratio and consolidated interest coverage ratio under the Amended Credit Agreement were 1.70 and 5.41, respectively.
In March 2012, May 2012 and August 2012, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share for shareholders of record on April 2, 2012, June 12, 2012 and September 6, 2012, respectively. On each of April 18, 2012, June 26, 2012 and September 20, 2012, a cash dividend of $5.7 million was paid. We currently expect to declare and pay quarterly dividends of similar amounts.
We have funding commitments that could potentially require our performance in the event of demands by third parties or contingent events. At September 30, 2012, guarantees, surety bonds and letters of credit totaled $35.2 million. Guarantees represent $32.6 million of this total and primarily relate to the Management and Rental segment's hotel and resort management agreements of Aston, including those with guaranteed dollar amounts, and accommodation leases supporting the Aston management activities, entered into on behalf of the property owners for which either party may terminate such leases upon 60 days prior written notice to the other. In addition, certain of the Management and Rental segment's hotel and resort management agreements of Aston provide that owners receive specified percentages of the revenue generated under Aston management. In these cases, the operating expenses for the rental operations are paid from the revenue generated by the rentals, the owners are then paid their contractual percentages, and the Management and Rental segment either retains the balance (if any) as its management fee or makes up the deficit. Although such deficits are reasonably possible in a few of these agreements, as of September 30, 2012 amounts are not expected to be significant, individually or in the aggregate. Aston also enters into agreements, as principal, for services purchased on behalf of property owners for which it is subsequently reimbursed. As such, Aston is the primary obligor and may be liable for unreimbursed costs. As of September 30, 2012, amounts pending reimbursements are not significant.
Subsequent Event
In November 2012, our Board of Directors declared a $0.10 per share dividend payable December 18, 2012 to shareholders of record on December 4, 2012. Based on the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2012, at a dividend of $0.10 per share, the anticipated cash outflow would be $5.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates which are based on historical experience and various other judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. We have discussed those estimates that we believe are critical and required the use of significant judgment and use of estimates that could have a significant impact on our financial statements in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies in the interim period.
ILG'S PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING
Definition of ILG's Non-GAAP Measure
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") is defined as net income attributable to common stockholders excluding, if applicable: (1) interest income and interest expense, (2) income taxes, (3) depreciation expense, and (4) amortization expense of intangibles.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense, (2) goodwill and asset impairments and (3) other non-operating income and expense.
Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. We believe these measures are useful to investors because they represent the consolidated operating results from our segments, excluding the effects of any non-cash expenses. We also believe these non-GAAP financial measures improve the transparency of our disclosures, provide a meaningful presentation of our results from our business operations, excluding the impact of certain items not related to our core business operations and improve the period-to-period comparability of results from business operations. Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA have certain limitations in that they do not take into account the impact of certain expenses to our statement of operations; including for Adjusted EBITDA, non-cash compensation. We endeavor to compensate for the limitations of these non-GAAP measures presented by also providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measure.
We report Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA as supplemental measures to results reported pursuant to GAAP. These measures are among the primary metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our businesses, on which our internal budgets are based and by which management is compensated. We believe that investors should have access to the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. We provide and encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measures which are discussed below.
49
Pro Forma Results
We will only present Adjusted EBITDA and/or EBITDA on a pro forma basis if we view a particular transaction as significant in size or transformational in nature. For the periods presented in this report, there are no transactions that we have included on a pro forma basis.
Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded From ILG's Non-GAAP Measure (as applicable)
Amortization expense of intangibles is a non-cash expense relating primarily to acquisitions. At the time of an acquisition, the intangible assets of the acquired company, such as customer relationships, purchase agreements and resort management agreements are valued and amortized over their estimated lives. We believe that since intangibles represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition, they were part of transaction costs.
Depreciation expense is a non-cash expense relating to our property and equipment and is recorded on a straight-line basis to allocate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives.
Non-cash compensation expense consists principally of expense associated with the grants, including unvested grants assumed in acquisitions, of restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options. These expenses are not paid in cash, and we will include the related shares in our future calculations of diluted shares of stock outstanding. Upon vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units and the exercise of certain stock options, the awards will be settled, at our discretion, on a net basis, with us remitting the required tax withholding amount from our current funds.
Goodwill and asset impairments are non-cash expenses relating to adjustments to goodwill and long-lived assets whereby the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the related assets, and are infrequent in nature.
Other non-operating income and expense consists principally of foreign currency translations of cash held in certain countries in currencies other than their functional currency, in addition to any gains or losses on extinguishment of debt.
RECONCILIATION OF EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA
The following tables reconcile EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to operating income for our operating segments, and to net income attributable to common stockholders in total, for the three and

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We conduct business in certain foreign markets, primarily in the United Kingdom and other European Union markets. Our foreign currency risk primarily relates to our investments in foreign subsidiaries that transact business in a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar. This exposure is mitigated as we have generally reinvested profits in our international operations. As currency exchange rates change, translation of the income statements of our international businesses into U.S. dollars affects year-over-year comparability of operating results.
In addition, we are exposed to foreign currency risk related to transactions and/or assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency. Historically, we have not hedged currency risks. However, our foreign currency exposure related to EU VAT liabilities denominated in euros is offset by euro denominated cash balances.
Operating foreign exchange for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 resulted in a net loss of $25,000 and $0.1 million, respectively, attributable to foreign currency remeasurements of operating assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than their functional currency, primarily related to Euro denominated value added tax liabilities. Non-operating foreign exchange for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 resulted in a net loss of $0.9 million and a net gain of $2.5 million, respectively, attributable to cash held in certain countries in currencies other than their functional currency. Non-operating foreign exchange for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 resulted in a net loss of $2.1 million and a net gain of $1.0 million, respectively.
The unfavorable fluctuations in the third quarter 2012 were principally driven by U.S. dollar positions held at September 30, 2012 affected by the weaker dollar compared to the Mexican peso. Favorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates caused a net gain during the three months ended September 30, 2011. The favorable fluctuations in the third quarter 2011 were principally driven by U.S. dollar positions held at September 30, 2011 affected by the stronger dollar compared to the Colombian peso and the Mexican peso.
The unfavorable fluctuations in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were principally driven by U.S. dollar positions held at September 30, 2012 affected by the weaker dollar compared to the Mexican and Colombian pesos. Favorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates caused a net gain during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The favorable fluctuations in the nine months ended 2011 were principally driven by U.S. dollar positions held at September 30, 2011 affected by the stronger dollar compared to the Mexican peso, partly offset by a strengthening of the Colombian peso against the U.S. dollar.
Our operations in international markets are exposed to potentially volatile movements in currency exchange rates. The economic impact of currency exchange rate movements on us is often linked to variability in real growth, inflation, interest rates, governmental actions and other factors. These changes, if material, could cause us to adjust our financing, operating and hedging strategies. A hypothetical 10% weakening/strengthening in foreign exchange rates to the U.S. dollar for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 would result in an approximate change to revenue of $0.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively. There have been no material quantitative changes in market risk exposures since December 31, 2011.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk through borrowings under our June 21, 2012 amended credit agreement which bears interest at variable rates. The interest rate on the amended credit agreement is based on (at our election) either LIBOR plus a predetermined margin that ranges from 1.25% to 2.25%, or the Base Rate as defined in the amended credit agreement plus a predetermined margin that
53
ranges from 0.25% to 1.25%, in each case based on ILG's leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2012, the applicable margin was 1.75% per annum for LIBOR revolving loans and 0.75% per annum for Base Rate loans. At September 30, 2012, we had $290.0 million outstanding for 27 days under our revolving credit facility subsequent to the redemption of our senior notes on September 4, 2012; a 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in an approximate change to interest expense of $0.2 million for the current quarter pertaining to our amended credit agreement. We currently do not hedge our interest rate exposure.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We monitor and evaluate on an ongoing basis our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting in order to improve our overall effectiveness. In the course of this evaluation, we modify and refine our internal processes as conditions warrant.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, we, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, also evaluated whether any changes occurred to our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such control. Based on that evaluation, there have been no material changes to internal controls over financial reporting.
