• Management will recommend a third quarter dividend of $0.30 per share for approval by the Board of Directors

"The strong rebound in leisure travel in North America drove continued growth in the second quarter, demonstrated by the sustained improvement in our key metrics," said Michael D. Brown, president and CEO of Travel + Leisure Co. "Both reporting segments exceeded our expectations, further proving the resilience and strength of our business model."

"Leisure travel is back in a significant way. All indicators of consumer behavior show that consumers are fulfilling their desire to travel, and we are benefiting from that recovery. We are particularly pleased with the strong recovery in adjusted EBITDA margins which reflects the actions we have taken over the last 18 months to improve the quality of our business," Brown commented.

Business Segment Results

The results of operations during the second quarter of 2021 and 2020 include impacts related to the COVID-19 global pandemic, which have been significantly negative to the travel industry, the Company, its customers and employees. Refer to Table 8 for a breakout of COVID-19 related impacts.

Vacation Ownership revenue increased 152% to $599 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year. Gross vacation ownership interest (VOI) sales were $383 million compared to $18 million in the prior year and tours were 117,000 during the quarter compared to 6,000 in the same period last year. Volume Per Guest (VPG) was $3,151 due to strong close rates and higher quality tours.

Second quarter adjusted EBITDA was $133 million compared to a loss of $12 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by higher Gross VOI sales due to the ongoing recovery of our operations from COVID-19 and cost savings initiated in the prior year, partially offset by lower net interest income as a result of a smaller contract receivable portfolio.

Second quarter 2021 results include an adjustment to the COVID-19 related allowance for loan losses, resulting in a $26 million increase to revenue and a $10 million increase to cost of vacation ownership interests, resulting in a net positive impact to Adjusted EBITDA of $16 million.

Travel and Membership revenue increased 92% to $204 million in the second quarter driven by an increase in net transactions. Second quarter net transactions of 524,000 increased 353%, four and a half times higher than the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 114% to $75 million due to the ongoing recovery of operations from the impact of COVID-19 as well as cost savings initiatives implemented in 2020 partially offset by lower subscription revenues due to decreased new owner sales in the timeshare industry.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Net Debt — As of June 30, 2021, the Company's leverage ratio for covenant purposes was 4.7x, well within the 7.5x amended covenant under the Company's credit agreement. The Company had $3.4 billion of corporate debt outstanding as of June 30, 2021, which excluded $2.0 billion of non-recourse debt related to its securitized notes receivables portfolio. Additionally, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $328 million. At the end of the second quarter, the Company had $1.3 billion of liquidity in cash and cash equivalents and revolving credit facility availability.

Cash Flow — For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was $290 million, compared to $130 million in the prior year period. Adjusted free cash flow was $56 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $88 million in the same period of 2020 due to timing of securitization activity.

Dividend — The Company paid $26 million ($0.30 per share) in cash dividends on June 30, 2021 to shareholders of record as of June 15, 2021. Management will recommend a third quarter dividend of $0.30 per share for approval by the Company’s Board of Directors in August 2021.

Presentation of Financial Information

Financial information discussed in this press release includes non-GAAP measures such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted free cash flow, gross VOI sales, and adjusted net income/(loss), which include or exclude certain items, as well as non-GAAP guidance. The Company utilizes these non-GAAP measures, defined in Table 9, on a regular basis to assess performance of its reportable segments and allocate resources. These non-GAAP measures differ from reported GAAP results and are intended to illustrate what management believes are relevant period-over-period comparisons and are helpful to investors when considered with GAAP measures as an additional tool for further understanding and assessing the Company’s ongoing operating performance by adjusting for items which in our view do not necessarily reflect ongoing performance. Management also internally uses these measures to assess our operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions. Exclusion of items in the Company’s non-GAAP presentation should not be considered an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Full reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for the reported periods appear in the financial tables section of the press release. See definitions on Table 9 for an explanation of our non-GAAP measures.
