Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On May 6, 2020, Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) issued a press release providing a business update and preliminary financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporate herein by reference.

As provided in General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall any such information be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

Extension to File Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

Due to circumstances related to the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, the Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to avail itself of an extension to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “First Quarter Form 10-Q”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The Company is relying on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Modifying Exemptions from the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies, dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465).

The Company’s operations and business have experienced significant disruptions due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. These disruptions include, but are not limited to, the temporary closure of all of the Company’s North American sales centers, the temporary closure of its resorts in North America to rental guests, the temporary reduction of amenities and operations at all of its resorts based on various government mandates and advisories, and other interruptions of the Company’s business and financial operations associated with or caused by COVID-19. To finalize the First Quarter Form 10-Q, the Company must perform significant valuation work, including, among other things, assessing subsequent events, and determining whether assets are impaired. However, because of mandatory social quarantining/self-isolation, work from home orders and reduced hours, Company personnel have limited availability to perform this work. The Company anticipates that it will file its First Quarter Form 10-Q on or about May 22, 2020.

Waiver to Corporate Credit Facility

We currently anticipate that we will be entering into a waiver under our corporate credit facility (the “Corporate Credit Facility”) with the lenders holding a majority of commitments under our revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) that will, among other things, suspend the requirement to comply with the quarterly maximum consolidated first lien net leverage ratio test that is applicable solely to the Revolving Credit Facility for up to four quarters, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2020.  For such time as the quarterly maximum consolidated first lien net leverage ratio test is suspended, the interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the commitment fee in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder will be adjusted to the highest level under the Corporate Credit Facility, irrespective of our credit rating. Further, during the suspension period, we will be required to maintain monthly minimum liquidity of at least $300 million until March 31, 2021. In addition, during such time, Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc., as borrower, and its restricted subsidiaries have agreed that without the consent lenders holding a majority of commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, they are prohibited from making certain restricted payments and investments and incurring certain secured indebtedness, in each case as would otherwise be permitted under the Corporate Credit Facility covenants.  Once the quarterly maximum consolidated first lien net leverage ratio test is reinstated, Consolidated EBITDA will be determined, subject to the terms of the waiver, on an annualized basis for purposes of calculating the maximum consolidated first lien net leverage ratio for each of the next three applicable four quarter test periods.

As provided in General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, nor shall any such information be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act.

Item 8.01 Other Events

Proposed Offering

On May 6, 2020, the Company issued a press release to announce that Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary intends, subject to market and other conditions, to offer $400 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) as set forth in the preliminary offering memorandum, dated May 6, 2020 (the “Offering Memorandum”). A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

No Offer or Solicitation

This communication is for informational purposes only and is not intended to and does not constitute an offer to buy, nor a solicitation of an offer to sell, subscribe for or buy any securities or the solicitation of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction pursuant to or in connection with the proposed transactions or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act and otherwise in accordance with applicable law.

Risk Factor Update

The Company is supplementing the risk factors previously disclosed in its most recent periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as follows:

The COVID-19 pandemic is severely and adversely affecting our sales and our operations, and will have serious adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations for an unknown period of time.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak a pandemic. In the wake of this declaration, our operations have been impacted by recommendations and/or mandates from national, federal, state, and local authorities to stay home and to avoid non-essential contact and gatherings of people, and to self-quarantine. As a result, since March 16, 2020, we have seen marked declines in occupancy, rentals, and contract sales because of the temporary closure of substantially all of our sales centers internationally, the temporary closure of many of our resorts, the temporary closure of our resorts for rental guests with stays at our branded North America vacation ownership resorts, and the reduction in operations and amenities at all of our resorts based on various government mandates and advisories. We have implemented furloughs and reduced work hours for our associates and have instituted “work from home” measures for many of our associates. In addition, to minimize the risk of COVID-19 to our employees and customers and to prevent the continued spread of the virus, we may implement new social distancing and hygiene protocols at our resorts, sales centers, and corporate offices in accordance with the guidelines from national, federal, state, and local authorities. These measures, while intended to protect human life, may result in additional costs, operational inefficiencies, and fewer revenue opportunities. While it is not possible at this time to estimate the impact that any protocols adopted to combat COVID-19 could have on our business, measures such as canceling in-person sales tours and customized presentations could result in lesser effectiveness of customer-associate interaction and diminished customer satisfaction, which could adversely impact our financial condition. We are monitoring the situation and intend to reopen our sales centers and resorts and increase operations and amenities as conditions permit; however, extended or further closures may be required nationally, regionally, or in specific locations. In addition, we cannot predict any limitations national, federal, state and local governments may impose on our operations when we are able to reopen our resorts, which may include, for example, limitations on access to swimming pools, gyms and other sports facilities, mask protection, as well as other protections that may limit the use of amenities at our resorts to enforce social distancing measures. This situation is unprecedented and rapidly changing and has unknown duration and severity.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a material adverse impact, and is expected to continue to have a material adverse impact, on global economies and financial markets, which has resulted in an economic downturn that has reduced demand for our products. The success of our business and our profitability depend, in substantial part, upon the health of the travel industry, which has been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. A substantial amount of our sales activity occurs at our resorts, and the number of prospective and current owners who visit our resorts has an impact on sales volume. Fear of exposure to COVID-19 has caused travelers to cancel travel plans to our resorts. These changes in vacation and travel patterns due to COVID-19 have begun to adversely affect our cash flows, revenues and profits. Moreover, even once travel advisories and restrictions are lifted, travel demand may remain weak for a significant length of time, and we cannot predict if or when demand for our resorts will return to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. Adverse changes in the perceived or actual economic climate, including higher unemployment rates, declines in income levels and loss of personal wealth resulting from the impact of COVID-19 are expected to negatively affect travel demand for a prolonged period of time.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in payment delinquencies for our vacation ownership notes receivable. The number of delinquencies may increase over time if the duration of the pandemic or its effect on economic conditions continues for a long period and could lead to defaults on financing that we provide to purchasers of our products. Purchaser defaults may cause us to foreclose on vacation ownership notes receivable and reclaim ownership of the financed interests and could impact our ability to secure ABS or warehouse credit facility financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. In addition, the transactions in which we have securitized vacation ownership notes receivable contain certain portfolio performance requirements related to default and delinquency rates, which, if not met, would result in loss or disruption of cash flow until portfolio performance sufficiently improves to satisfy the requirements.

The duration and extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and financial results will largely depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, the extent and severity of any resurgences of the pandemic in the future, the response by all levels of government in their efforts to contain the pandemic and to mitigate the economic disruptions, the related impact on consumer confidence and spending, and how quickly economies and demand for our products recover after the

2

pandemic subsides, all of which are highly uncertain, rapidly changing and cannot be predicted. Such impacts are expected to adversely affect our profitability, cash flows, financial results, and capital resources for a significant period of time.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the volatile regional and global economic conditions stemming from the pandemic could also precipitate or aggravate the other risk factors that we identify in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations (including revenue, profitability and cash flow) and/or stock price. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic may also adversely affect our operating and financial results in a manner that is not presently known to us or that we currently do not consider to present significant risks to our operations.

The economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting our ability to generate cash to support our continuing operations, implement our growth plans, pay quarterly dividends, resume our stock repurchase program, and make interest and other payments with respect to our indebtedness and other obligations.

We depend upon our operations to generate strong cash flows to support our operating activities, supply capital to finance our operations and growth, make capital expenditures and acquisitions, manage our debt levels, and return value to our shareholders through dividends and stock repurchases. The economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to support these activities and could adversely affect our ability to make interest and other payments with respect to our indebtedness and other obligations.

We have taken steps to reduce operating costs and improve efficiency, including furloughing most of our associates and significantly reducing work weeks for most of the remaining associates. Such steps, and further changes we may make in the future to reduce costs, may negatively impact owner and guest satisfaction and our ability to attract and retain associates. For example, if furloughed personnel do not return to work with us when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, including because they found new jobs during the furlough, we may experience operational challenges that impact owner satisfaction and demand for our products, which could limit our ability to grow and expand our business and could reduce our profits.

We have also taken steps to reduce or defer planned inventory and corporate capital expenditures, which may negatively impact owner satisfaction and may make our products less attractive to prospective purchasers.

We suspended our stock repurchase program and expect to discontinue declaration and payment of quarterly cash dividends for the foreseeable future. The failure to repurchase stock and failure to pay dividends may negatively impact our reputation and investor confidence in us, which may negatively affect our stock price.

In addition, we may not be able to generate sufficient cash from operations to service our indebtedness and other obligations. If we cannot make scheduled payments under any of the agreements governing our debt, we would be in default under such agreements, and the lenders under our Corporate Credit Facility could terminate their commitments to loan money. In the case of secured debt, such lenders and other creditors could foreclose on the assets securing such debt and apply the amounts realized from such foreclosures to repay amounts owed to them. Any of these actions would likely trigger cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions in our other debt instruments, which would allow the creditors under such instruments to exercise similar rights. If any of these actions were taken, we could be forced into restructuring, bankruptcy or liquidation.

Our Corporate Credit Facility and our indentures contain various restrictive covenants. The failure to comply with such covenants could have an adverse effect on us. We may not be able to raise additional financing.

The credit agreement that governs the Corporate Credit Facility and the indentures that govern our senior notes impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, which, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to incur debt, pay dividends and make other restricted payments, make loans and investments, incur liens, sell assets, enter into affiliate transactions, enter into agreements restricting subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of their assets. All of these covenants and restrictions limit how we conduct our business. In addition, we are required to maintain a specified leverage ratio under the terms of the Corporate Credit Facility.

Any failure to comply with the restrictions contained in the Corporate Credit Facility or the indentures governing our senior notes, including any failure to comply with financial maintenance covenants in the Corporate Credit Facility due to the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our revenue and results of operations or any failure to comply with the reporting covenants in the Corporate Credit Facility or the indentures governing our senior notes, may result in an event of default under our Corporate Credit Facility or the indentures governing our senior notes. In particular, as a result of the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on our business, we are availing ourselves of an extension to file our First Quarter Form 10-Q with the SEC in reliance on an applicable SEC order, as described in Item 7.01 above. Although we currently expect to file the First Quarter Form 10-Q on or about May 22, 2020, we may encounter difficulties in doing so. If we do not file our First Quarter Form 10-Q on or about May 15, 2020, our failure to file by that date will constitute a default, subject to the applicable grace period, under the credit agreement governing our Corporate Credit Facility. If we are unable to file our First Quarter Form 10-Q before the end of the applicable grace period, an event of default would occur under our Corporate Credit Facility, which would give the lenders the right to terminate their commitments to lend to us

3

under the facility and accelerate our outstanding borrowings. If an event of default for this or any other reason occurs and is not cured or waived, our obligations under the Corporate Credit Facility or the indentures could be accelerated. We may not have sufficient cash to repay any such debt.

We may be required to raise additional capital to refinance our obligations under the Corporate Credit Facility or the indentures or support our operations. Our access to and cost of financing will depend on, among other things, global economic conditions, conditions in the global financing markets, the availability of sufficient amounts of financing, our prospects and our credit ratings, and the outlook for our industry as a whole. The terms of future debt agreements could include more restrictive covenants, require incremental collateral, which may further restrict our business operations or cause future financing to be unavailable due to our covenant restrictions then in effect. There is no guarantee that debt or equity financings will be available in the future on terms favorable to us or at all.

Marriott Vacations Worldwide (“MVW”) Reports Preliminary First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Company Updates Investor Conference Call Information - Now Plans to Host Call on May 7, 2020 at 8:30 a.m. ET to Discuss its Preliminary Financial Results

ORLANDO, Fla. – May 6, 2020– Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: VAC) today reported preliminary first quarter 2020 financial results and provided an operational update on business conditions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“For the many doctors, nurses, first responders, and service members on the front lines, these heroes are our customers, associates, neighbors and loved ones, and we’re deeply grateful for their bravery and generosity,” said Stephen P. Weisz, president and chief executive officer. “We’ve made some difficult decisions, including furloughing nearly 65% of our associates, reducing work weeks for most other associates, and significantly reducing capital expenditures and inventory investments. We believe these actions will allow us to weather the impact from COVID-19 and its effect on our business for the foreseeable future.”

Preliminary Financial Data

The preliminary financial information included in this release is subject to completion of the Company’s quarter-end close procedures and further financial review. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of the completion of the Company's quarter-end closing procedures, review adjustments and other developments that may arise between now and the time such financial information for the period is finalized. These estimates are preliminary and may change and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. These preliminary estimates should not be viewed as a substitute for full interim financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and they should not be viewed as indicative of our results for any future period. The Company currently expects to file its first quarter 2020 Form 10-Q on or about May 22, 2020.

Preliminary First Quarter 2020 Highlights and Operational Update:

• The Company expects to report a 13%decline in first quarter consolidated vacation ownership contract sales.

◦ Consolidated contract sales had increased 10% year-over-year through March 13, 2020.

• Net loss attributable to common shareholders is expected to be between a loss of $39 million and $114 million, or $0.95 and $2.75 preliminary loss per fully diluted share.

◦ The Company expects to record a non-cash asset impairment charge of $20 million to $100 million.

• Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders is expected to increase34% to $89 million and adjusted fully diluted earnings per share is expected to increase48% to $2.15.

Marriott Vacations Worldwide Reports Certain First Quarter Preliminary Financial Results / 2

• Adjusted EBITDA is expected to decrease17% to $138 million in the first quarter of 2020.

• Total cash and cash equivalents totaled $651 million at the end of the first quarter of 2020.

◦ Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, the Company increased the borrowing capacity of its warehouse facility by more than 50% to $531 million and launched an offering to raise an additional $400 million of senior secured notes, taking available liquidity through at least 2021.

• The Company has taken actions to defer inventory and other investments by up to $260 million to help mitigate the impact of COVID-19 and has taken additional actions to substantially reduce its operating costs in the current environment.

• Prior to March 13, 2020, the Company repurchased nearly 770 thousand shares of its common stock for $82 million.

Preliminary FirstQuarter 2020 Segment Results

Vacation Ownership

Revenues excluding cost reimbursements are expected to decrease8% in the first quarter driven by a 13%decline in consolidated vacation ownership contract sales and lower than expected rental revenues, both of which were impacted by COVID-19.

Vacation Ownership segment financial results are expected to be between $67 million and $85 million for the first quarter of 2020 after reflecting a net charge of $37 million related to estimated higher default activity on its note receivable portfolio related to COVID-19 and an estimated asset impairment charge of between $0 million and $18 million. Vacation Ownership segment Adjusted EBITDA is expected to decrease15% to $147 million in the first quarter.

Exchange & Third-Party Management

Exchange & Third-Party Management revenues are expected to decrease14% in the first quarter of 2020. Interval International average revenue per member decreased11% to $41.37 compared to the prior year and active members declined3% to 1.6 million.

Exchange & Third-Party Management segment financial results are expected to be between a loss of $46 million and income of $16 million in the first quarter of 2020 and Adjusted EBITDA is expected to decline24% to $41 million. Segment financial results include an estimated asset impairment charge of between $20 million and $82 million.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other results, which consist primarily of general and administrative costs, decreased $10 million in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of synergy savings and lower compensation related expenses, partially offset by normal inflationary cost increases.

Operational Update to COVID - 19

The Company has significantly reduced cash spend across the entire organization including:

◦ Closing all sales centers and branded resorts for rental guests with stays at branded resorts through the end of May;

◦ Reducing executive leadership team salaries by 50%;

◦ Furloughing 65% of associates and reducing work weeks by roughly 25%, on average, for its remaining associates;

◦ Deferring 2020 merit increases and 2019 401(k) match contributions;

◦ Reducing inventory and other investments by up to $260 million; and

◦ Temporarily suspending share repurchases and dividend payments.

Asset Impairment Assessments

The full extent of the adverse impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations cannot be predicted. However, it already has, and may continue to have, a material effect on the Company’s financial results. As a result, management has concluded that there has been a triggering event in the first quarter of 2020, which resulted in management performing an impairment evaluation of its assets, including inventory, property and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill.

The Company’s impairment assessments are based on projected financial information which management believes to be reasonable. However, actual results may differ materially from these projections. The Company is presently evaluating expected undiscounted future cash flows of certain asset groups related to the effects of COVID-19 to determine if the carrying value of these assets groups is recoverable.

Prior to performing its goodwill impairment assessment, the Company had goodwill and intangibles totaling $3.9 billion on its Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2020. The Company’s impairment assessments are not yet complete. However, the Company is presently estimating that it will record a total impairment charge, including any product cost true-up impact, between $20 million to $100 million in the first quarter of 2020. These estimated charges are driven by the effects of COVID-19 on the business.

Preliminary Balance Sheet and Liquidity

On March 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents totaled $651 million and the company had $98 million of gross notes receivable that are eligible for securitization.

The Company had $4.7 billion in debt outstanding, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, at the end of the first quarter, an increase of $0.6 billion from year-end 2019. This debt included $2.8 billion of corporate debt and $1.9 billion of non-recourse debt related to its securitized notes receivable.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had fully drawn down on its revolving corporate credit facility, after taking into account outstanding letters of credit.

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2020, the Company amended its warehouse credit facility to increase the borrowing capacity by approximately $181 million, bringing the total capacity to approximately $531 million. As of April 30, 2020, the Company had more than $258 million in available capacity under its expanded facility.

The Company anticipates that, even if sales center closures and limited transient rentals were to persist, its cash position will provide it with adequate liquidity to fund its operations and debt service payments for the foreseeable future. The Company has no corporate debt maturities until September 2022 and is currently in compliance with all debt covenants.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted fully diluted earnings per share, adjusted development margin and adjusted financial measures are reconciled and adjustments are shown and described in further detail in the Financial Schedules that follow.

First Quarter 2020 Preliminary Financial Results Conference Call

The Company will hold a conference call on May 7, 2020 at 8:30 a.m. ET to discuss these preliminary financial results and provide an update on business conditions. Participants may access the call by dialing (844) 249-9387 or (330) 931-4812 for international callers. A live webcast of the call will also be available in the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at ir.mvwc.com.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In our press release and schedules, and on the related conference call, we report certain financial measures that are not prescribed by GAAP. We discuss our reasons for reporting these non-GAAP financial measures below, and the financial schedules included herein reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to each non-GAAP financial measure that we report (identified by a double asterisk (“**”) on the preceding pages). Although we evaluate and present these non-GAAP financial measures for the reasons described below, please be aware that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenues, net income attributable to common shareholders, earnings per share or any other comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated and / or presented differently than measures with the same or similar names that are reported by other companies, and as a result, the non-GAAP financial measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.

Certain Items Excluded from Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Development Margin

We evaluate non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Development Margin, that exclude certain items in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, because these non-GAAP financial measures allow for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of these items. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate our comparison of results from our on-going core operations before these items with results from other vacation ownership companies.

Certain items - First Quarter Ended March 31, 2020

Certain items for the first quarter of 2020 consisted of $21 million of ILG acquisition-related costs, $2 million related to litigation charges, $20 million to $100 million of impairment and other charges, $56 million of losses and other expenses (including $32 million related to foreign currency translation and $33 million related to a true-up to a Marriott International indemnification receivable upon settlement (true-up to the offsetting accrual is included in the provision for income taxes line), offset partially by a $6 million receivable related to an indemnification from Marriott International for certain VAT charges and $3 million related to insurance proceeds), $2 million of purchase accounting adjustments (inventory related), and $57 million other charges (including $37 million related to the net sales reserve adjustment, $11 million related to an accrual for the health and welfare costs for furloughed associates, $6 million related to the charge for VAT penalties and interest (see offset from indemnification above) and $3 million related to transaction costs related to our asset light inventory arrangements).

Certain items - First Quarter Ended March 31, 2019

Certain items for the first quarter of 2019 consisted of $26 million of ILG acquisition-related costs, $26 million of asset impairments, $1 million of purchase price adjustments, $1 million of litigation charges, and $1 million of other severance costs, partially offset by $8 million of gains and other income.

Adjusted Development Margin (Adjusted Sale of Vacation Ownership Products Net of Expenses)

We evaluate Adjusted Development Margin (Adjusted Sale of Vacation Ownership Products Net of Expenses) as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted Development Margin adjusts Sale of vacation ownership products revenues for the impact of revenue reportability, includes corresponding adjustments to Cost of vacation ownership products expense and Marketing and sales expense associated with the change in revenues from the Sale of vacation ownership products, and may include adjustments for certain items as itemized in the discussion in the preceding paragraph. We evaluate Adjusted Development Margin because it allows for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of revenue reportability and certain items to our Development Margin.

Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as earnings, or net income attributable to common shareholders, before interest expense (excluding consumer financing interest expense associated with term loan securitization transactions), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. For purposes of our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations, we do not adjust for consumer financing interest expense associated with term loan securitization transactions because we consider it to be an operating expense of our business. We consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be indicators of operating performance, which we use to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand our business. We also use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as do analysts, lenders, investors and others, because these measures exclude certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can

A-11

vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA also exclude depreciation and amortization because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies. Adjusted EBITDA reflects additional adjustments for certain items, as itemized in the discussion of Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders above, and excludes share-based compensation expense to address considerable variability among companies in recording compensation expense because companies use share-based payment awards differently, both in the type and quantity of awards granted. Prior period presentation has been recast for consistency. We evaluate Adjusted EBITDA as an indicator of operating performance because it allows for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the impact of the excluded items. Together, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA facilitate our comparison of results from our on-going core operations before the impact of these items with results from our competitors.
