INTERVAL LEISURE GROUP REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2011 RESULTS
MIAMI, May 09, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) —Interval Leisure Group (Nasdaq: IILG) (“ILG”) today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
FIRST QUARTER 2011 HIGHLIGHTS
· ILG consolidated revenue increased by 2.8% year over year.
· Management Fee and Rental revenue grew 49.2% from prior year, total Management and Rental segment revenue up 26.1%.
· New member volume increased by 23.3%, total member count was up sequentially.
· Free cash flow was $26.5 million for first quarter 2011.
“During the first quarter, ILG’s total consolidated revenue increased by nearly 3%. The Management and Rental segment grew the top-line by more than 26%, reflecting the contribution of Trading Places and a nearly 20% improvement in the Aston business,” said Craig M. Nash, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Interval Leisure Group. “Our new product initiatives at Interval International, including Platinum membership, began showing positive results in the quarter and total member count was up sequentially for the first time in 10 quarters.”
“However, 2011 has started off to be challenging for our Membership and Exchange segment as we were negatively impacted by a shift in inventory mix as well as expenses
associated with our fourth quarter 2010 technology implementation.” Nash added, “Investing in our business with a focus on long term success remains our priority.”

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
First Quarter 2011 Consolidated Operating Results
Consolidated revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $117.0 million, an increase of 2.8% from $113.8 million for the first quarter of 2010.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $13.2 million, a decrease of 14.4% from net income of $15.4 million for the same period of 2010. The year over year
decline in net income reflects a $4.5 million decrease in operating income from the Membership and Exchange segment, partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in operating income from our Management and Rental segment. First quarter 2011 diluted earnings per share was $0.23 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.27 for the same period of 2010.
EBITDA was $44.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to EBITDA of $46.3 million for the same period of 2010.
BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS
Membership and Exchange
Membership and Exchange segment revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $96.4 million, a decline of 1.1% from the comparable period in 2010.
For the first quarter of 2011, transaction and membership fee revenue were $56.4 million and $32.6 million, respectively, a decrease of 4.5% and an increase of 0.4%, respectively, over the same period in 2010.
Total active members at March 31, 2011 were approximately 1,818,000, relatively flat with total active members of approximately 1,826,000 at March 31, 2010. Total active members increased by 15,000 from the fourth quarter of 2010. This was the first sequential increase since the third quarter of 2008. Average revenue per member for the first quarter of 2011 was $50.13, a decrease of 2.3% from the first quarter of 2010 due primarily to a decline in transaction revenue. During the first quarter of 2011, Interval affiliated 16 new vacation ownership resorts in domestic and international markets.
Membership and Exchange segment EBITDA was $41.4 million in the first quarter, a decline of 7.0% from the segment’s EBITDA of $44.5 million in the first quarter 2010. Membership and Exchange segment EBITDA reflects a reduction in segment revenue, a $1.1 million increase in the cost of Getaway sales due to inventory mix changes, and
approximately $1.1 million of higher non-capitalized expenses related to iServices following its implementation in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Management and Rental
Management and Rental segment revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011, was $20.6 million, including $8.9 million of management fee and rental revenue (defined below). Year-over-year, management fee and rental revenue grew by 49.2%. The improvement was primarily driven by an increase in revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) at Aston and the acquisition of Trading Places (TPI). Aston RevPAR for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $126.25 compared to $102.80 for the same period in 2010, resulting from both a 12.2% higher average daily rate (ADR) and a 9.4% improvement in occupancy rates in the first quarter of 2011.
In the first quarter of 2011, Management and Rental segment EBITDA was $3.0 million, an increase of 62.7% from the prior year period. Segment EBITDA benefitted from an 18.2% increase in room revenue and the inclusion of TPI.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
As of March 31, 2011, ILG’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $204.3 million, compared to $180.5 million as of December 31, 2010. The Company’s total debt outstanding was $353.2 million, net of unamortized bond discount, as of March 31, 2011. During the current quarter, the Company made a $5.0 million voluntary prepayment of principal on its term loan.
For the first quarter of 2011, ILG’s capital expenditures totaled $2.9 million, or 2.5% of revenue, net cash provided by operating activities was $29.4 million and free cash flow (defined below) was $26.5 million. Total interest paid during the first quarter was $14.8 million.
Presentation of Financial Information
ILG management believes that the presentation of non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) financial measures, including, among others, EBITDA, and free cash flow, serves to enhance the understanding of ILG’s performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to and not as substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, EBITDA (as defined) is used to calculate compliance with certain financial covenants in ILG’s credit agreement. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures improve the transparency of our disclosures, provide meaningful presentations 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. These measures may also be useful in comparing our results to those of other companies, however, our calculations may differ from the calculations of these measures used by other companies. More information about the non-GAAP financial measures, including reconciliations of GAAP results to the non-GAAP measures, is available in the financial tables that accompany this press release.
