Bluegreen’s sales of VOIs under its capital-light business strategy include sales of VOIs under fee-based sales and marketing arrangements, just-in-time inventory acquisition arrangements, and secondary market arrangements. Under “just-in-time” arrangements, Bluegreen enters into agreements with third party developers that allow Bluegreen to buy VOI inventory from time to time in close proximity to the timing of when Bluegreen intends to sell such VOIs. Bluegreen also acquires VOI inventory from resorts' property owner associations ("POAs") and other third parties close to the time Bluegreen intends to sell such VOIs. Such VOIs are typically obtained by the POAs through foreclosure in connection with maintenance fee defaults, and are generally acquired by

Bluegreen Summary for the Three and Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2015

 

System-wide sales of VOIs were $141.6 million and $552.7 million during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015, respectively, and $123.6 million and $523.8 million during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2014, respectively. During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015, the number of tours increased by 14% and 5%, respectively, and the number of new prospect tours increased 19% and 8%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014. The increase in the number of tours reflects efforts to expand marketing to new sales prospects. Additionally, the average price per transaction increased by 11% and 5% during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014.

 

Fee-based sales commission revenue was $42.1 million and $173.7 million during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015, respectively, and $35.3 million and $144.2 million during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2014, respectively. Bluegreen earned an average sales and marketing commission of 69% during both the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015, compared to 64% and 65% during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2014, respectively.  These increases are attributable to higher fee-based sales volume and two new fee-based commission clients that commenced in the fourth quarter of 2015. In addition, the increase for the year ended December 31, 2015 includes an incentive commission of $1.1 million related to the achievement of certain sales thresholds pursuant to the terms of the applicable arrangement.

 

As a percentage of system-wide sales of VOIs, selling and marketing expenses increased to 53% during the three months ended December 31, 2015 from 48% during the three months ended December 31, 2014 and increased to 51% during the year ended December 31, 2015 from 48% during the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in selling and marketing expenses during the 2015 periods compared to the 2014 periods was a result of Bluegreen’s focus on attempting to increase its marketing efforts to new prospects as opposed to existing owners, which resulted in higher costs per tour from new and expanding marketing channels. Sales to existing owners generally involve lower marketing expenses than sales to new prospects. Bluegreen expects to continue to increase its focus on sales to new prospects and, as a result, sales and marketing expenses generally and as a percentage of sales may continue to increase.

 

Other fee-based services revenue increased 4% to $24.1 million and 6% to $97.5 million during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015, respectively, compared to the same

Exhibit 99.1

periods of 2014. Fee-based management services revenue increased during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014 due to an increase in club and resort management revenues and owner program service revenues, primarily as a result of an increase in the number of owners in the Bluegreen Vacation Club.

 

Net interest spread was $13.4 million and $51.9 million during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015, respectively, compared to $10.8 million and $43.6 million for the same periods of 2014. The increase in net interest spread during 2015 primarily reflects lower costs of borrowing and lower average outstanding debt balances primarily related to the repayment of a relatively higher cost debt facilities.

 

Bluegreen generated “free cash flow” (cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures) of $9.3 million and $72.1 million during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015, respectively, compared to $36.2 million and $129.5 million for the comparable periods of 2014. The decrease for the 2015 periods is primarily attributable to development expenditures incurred in connection with the construction of VOI inventory at Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations resorts.

markets, products, services and business strategies, including risks associated with the ability to successfully implement currently anticipated plans and generate earnings, diverse cash flow streams or long term growth, or for operations or investments to result in increased value, including book value per share, over time; the performance of entities in which BFC and BBX Capital have made investments may not be profitable or their results as anticipated; BFC is dependent upon dividends from its subsidiaries to fund its operations; BFC’s subsidiaries may not be in a position to pay dividends or otherwise make a determination to pay dividends to its shareholders; dividend payments may be subject to certain restrictions, including restrictions contained in debt instruments; any payment of dividends by a subsidiary of BFC is subject to declaration by such subsidiary’s board of directors or managers (which, in the case of BBX Capital, is comprised of a majority of independent directors under the listing standards of the NYSE) as well as the boards of directors of both BBX Capital and BFC in the case of dividend payments by Woodbridge; and dividend decisions may not be made in BFC’s interests; the risks relating to BFC’s goal of transitioning into a business platform with diverse activities, including that such goal may not be achieved when anticipated or at all; the risk that BFC may not achieve growth through its operating businesses or real estate opportunities to the extent anticipated or at all; risks relating to the monetization of BBX Capital’s legacy portfolio; risks related to litigation and other legal proceedings involving BFC and its subsidiaries, including the legal and other professional fees and other costs and expenses of such proceedings, as well as the impact of any finding of liability or damages on the financial condition and operating results of BFC or its subsidiaries, and with respect to the adverse judgment in the action brought by the SEC against BBX Capital and its Chairman, who also serves as BFC’s Chairman, risks relating to civil fines, claims for reimbursement by insurers, and reputational risks and risks relating to the loss of the services of BFC’s Chairman.  The Company’s investment in Woodbridge, which owns Bluegreen Corporation, exposes the Company to risks of Bluegreen’s business and its ability to pay dividends to Woodbridge, and risks inherent in the vacation ownership industry, including the risk that Bluegreen’s marketing expenses will continue to increase, particularly if Bluegreen’s marketing  efforts focus primarily on sales to new customers rather than sales to existing owners and the risk that increased marketing efforts and/or expenses may not result in increased sales; the risk that if new customers are not sufficiently added to Bluegreen’s existing owner base, Bluegreen’s ability to continue to sell VOIs to existing owners will diminish over time; and the risk that Bluegreen may not be successful in increasing or expanding its capital-light business activities because of changes in economic conditions or otherwise, and such fee-based service activities may not be profitable, which would have an adverse impact on its results of operations and financial condition. In addition, with respect to BBX Capital, the risks and uncertainties include risks relating to the real estate market and real estate development, including risks associated with obtaining zoning and entitlements, the risk that joint venture partners may not fulfill their obligations and the projects may not be developed as anticipated or be profitable, and contracts may not be completed on the terms provided in the contract or at all; risks relating to acquisitions of operating businesses, including integration risks, risks regarding achieving profitability, that new personnel will not be successful, foreign currency transaction risk, and the other risks and uncertainties described in BBX Capital’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which are available to view on the SEC's website, www.sec.gov, and on BBX Capital's website, www.BBXCapital.com.

EBITDA is defined as earnings, or net income, before taking into account interest income (excluding interest earned on VOI notes receivable), interest expense (excluding interest expense incurred on financings related to Bluegreen’s receivable-backed notes payable), provision for income taxes and franchise taxes, depreciation and amortization.  For purposes of the EBITDA calculation, no adjustments were made for interest income earned on Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable or the interest expense incurred on debt that is secured by such notes receivable because they are both considered to be part of the operations of Bluegreen’s business.

Exhibit 99.1

The Company considers Bluegreen’s EBITDA to be an indicator of Bluegreen’s operating performance, and it is used to measure Bluegreen’s ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand its business.  EBITDA is also used by companies, lenders, investors and others because it excludes 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 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 also excludes 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.
