Wyndham Worldwide Reports First Quarter 2012 Earnings

First Quarter Adjusted EPS Growth of 36% – Increases 2012 EPS Guidance – Share Repurchase Authorization Increased

Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: WYN) today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2012. 

Highlights:

“First quarter results were strong, reflecting the power of our fee-for-service business model across economic cycles, continuing innovation throughout the Company, robust free cash flow and disciplined capital allocation,” said Stephen P. Holmes, chairman and CEO, Wyndham Worldwide.  “Furthermore, consumers are traveling.  Our Vacation Ownership and Hotel businesses are showing great momentum and our Exchange and Rentals business proved resilient despite the difficult economic climate in Europe.  As always, we will continue to focus on driving operational improvements in 2012 and beyond.”

FIRST QUARTER 2012 OPERATING RESULTS
First quarter revenues were $1.0 billion, an increase of 9% from the prior year period. The increase reflects growth in all of our business units led by the Company’s Lodging and Vacation Ownership businesses.

For the first quarter of 2012, adjusted net income was $90 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared with $79 million, or $0.44 per diluted share for the same period in 2011.  The increase in adjusted net income primarily reflects stronger operating results in our Lodging and Vacation Ownership businesses.  Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2012 excludes a $62 million early extinguishment charge related to $650 million of debt tender offers and $4 million of benefits related to legacy and other adjustments. 

Including the early extinguishment charge and legacy benefits, reported net income for the first quarter of 2012 was $32 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared with net income of $72 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2011.

Free cash flow increased 4% to $193 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, compared with $185 million during the same period in 2011. The growth in free cash flow primarily reflects reduced capital expenditures.  The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, equity investments and development advances.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, cash provided by operating activities was $228 million, compared with $229 million in the prior year period.

BUSINESS UNIT RESULTS

Lodging (Wyndham Hotel Group)
Revenues were $185 million in the first quarter of 2012, an increase of 24%, compared with the first quarter of 2011.  The increase reflects domestic RevPAR gains of 9%, as part of a total system RevPAR improvement of 7%, revenues associated with the recently opened Wyndham Grand hotel in Orlando, and higher inter-segment licensing fees for use of the Wyndham brand trade name.  The revenue increase also includes $10 million of reclassifications, primarily related to certain reservation fees, which had no impact on Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA was $49 million, an increase of 23% compared with the first quarter of 2011, largely reflecting the revenue increases discussed above, partially offset by the operating costs associated with the recently opened Wyndham Grand hotel and higher marketing costs.  Excluding the higher inter-segment licensing fees, Adjusted EBITDA increased by 13%.

As of March 31, 2012, the Company’s hotel system consisted of over 7,150 properties and approximately 609,300 rooms. The development pipeline included approximately 840 hotels and 108,200 rooms, of which 56% were new construction and 55% were international.

Vacation Exchange and Rentals (Wyndham Exchange & Rentals)
Revenues were $361 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared to $356 million in the first quarter of 2011.  In constant currency and excluding the impact of acquisitions, revenues were flat.

Exchange revenues were $188 million, a decrease of 3% compared with the first quarter of 2011, primarily due to a 2% decline in the average number of members resulting from the non-renewal of an affiliation agreement.  In constant currency, exchange revenues were down 2% and exchange revenue per member was flat.

Vacation rental revenues were $159 million, a 6% increase compared with the first quarter of 2011. Excluding the impact of foreign currency and acquisitions, vacation rental revenues were up 3% primarily due to a 2% increase in vacation rental transactions.  Average net price per vacation rental remained flat.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2012 was $93 million, flat compared with the prior-year period.  Excluding the impact of foreign currency and acquisitions, Adjusted EBITDA declined by 2%, reflecting the continued economic challenges in Europe.

Vacation Ownership (Wyndham Vacation Ownership)
Revenues were $501 million in the first quarter of 2012, an 11% increase over the first quarter of 2011, primarily reflecting increased vacation ownership interest (VOI) sales. 

Gross VOI sales were $384 million in the first quarter of 2012, up 20% from the first quarter of 2011, primarily reflecting a 10% increase in volume per guest and an 8% increase in tour flow.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2012 was $103 million, a 7% increase compared with the first quarter of 2011.  Excluding the higher inter-segment licensing fee paid for the use of the Wyndham brand trade name, Adjusted EBITDA increased by 11%, reflecting contributions from increased VOI sales.

OPERATING RESULTS OF REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

(In millions)

In addition to other measures, management evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable segments based upon net revenues and “EBITDA,” which is defined as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense (excluding consumer financing interest), interest income (excluding consumer financing interest) and income taxes, each of which is presented on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company believes that EBITDA is a useful measure of performance for the Company’s industry segments which, when considered with GAAP measures, the Company believes gives a more complete understanding of its operating performance. The Company’s presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

The following tables summarize net revenues and EBITDA for reportable segments, as well as reconcile EBITDA to net income attributable to Wyndham Worldwide for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

OPERATING STATISTICS

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Lodging

Number of Rooms:  Represents the number of rooms at lodging properties at the end of the period which are either (i) under franchise and/or management agreements, or company owned, (ii) properties under affiliation agreements for which we receive a fee for reservation and/or other services provided or (iii) properties managed under a joint venture.  

Average Occupancy Rate:  Represents the percentage of available rooms occupied during the period.

Average Daily Rate (ADR):  Represents the average rate charged for renting a lodging room for one day.  

RevPAR:  Represents revenue per available room and is calculated by multiplying average occupancy rate by ADR.  Comparable RevPAR represents RevPAR of hotels which are included in both periods.

Vacation Exchange and Rentals

Average Number of Members:  Represents members in our vacation exchange programs who pay annual membership dues. For additional fees, such participants are entitled to exchange intervals for intervals at other properties affiliated with our vacation exchange business. In addition, certain participants may exchange intervals for other leisure-related services and products.

Exchange Revenue Per Member:  Represents total annualized revenues generated from fees associated with memberships, exchange transactions, member-related rentals and other servicing for the period divided by the average number of vacation exchange members during the period.  

Vacation Rental Transactions:  Represents the number of transactions that are generated in connection with customers booking their vacation rental stays through us. One rental transaction is recorded for each standard one-week rental.

Average Net Price Per Vacation Rental:  Represents the net rental price generated from renting vacation properties to customers and other related rental servicing fees divided by the number of vacation rental transactions.

Vacation Ownership

Gross Vacation Ownership Interest Sales:  Represents sales of vacation ownership interest (VOIs), including Wyndham Asset Affiliation Model sales, before the net effect of percentage-of-completion accounting and loan loss provisions.  See Table 9 for a reconciliation of Gross VOI sales to Vacation Ownership Interest Sales.  We believe that Gross VOI sales provides an enhanced understanding of the performance of our vacation ownership business because it directly measures the sales volume of this business during a given reporting period. 

Tours:  Represents the number of tours taken by guests in our efforts to sell vacation ownership interests.

Volume per Guest (VPG):  Represents gross VOI sales (excluding tele-sales upgrades, which are non-tour upgrade sales) divided by the number of tours.  We have excluded non-tour upgrade sales in the calculation of VPG because non-tour upgrade sales are generated by a different marketing channel.  See Table 9 for a detail of tele-sales upgrades for 2009-2012.  We believe that VPG provides an enhanced understanding of the performance of our vacation ownership business because it directly measures the efficiency of this business’ tour selling efforts during a given reporting period.

General

Constant Currency:  Represents a comparison eliminating the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations between periods.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(In millions)

FREE CASH FLOW

The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, equity investments and development advances and excluding cash payments related to the Company’s contingent tax liabilities that it assumed and is responsible for pursuant to its separation from Cendant.  The Company considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that, after the acquisition of property and equipment, equity investments and development advances, can be used for strategic opportunities, including making acquisitions, paying dividends, repurchasing the Company’s common stock and strengthening the balance sheet. Analysis of free cash flow also facilitates management’s comparisons of the Company’s operating results to its competitors’ operating results. A limitation of using free cash flow versus the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities as a means for evaluating Wyndham Worldwide is that free cash flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance from operations for the period. 

The following table provides more details on the GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measure and the related reconciliation between these financial measures:
