These statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, among others, the following:

risks associated with the adverse impact of economic conditions, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations and results, the price and liquidity of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, and the Company’s ability to obtain additional capital, including the risk that if the Company needs or otherwise believes it is advisable to issue debt or equity securities or to incur indebtedness in order to fund the Company’s operations or investments, it may not be able to issue any such securities or obtain such indebtedness on favorable terms, or at all and any issuance could result in the dilution of the interests of the Company’s current shareholders;

the availability of financing, the Company’s ability to sell, securitize or borrow against its VOI notes receivable on acceptable terms, and the Company’s ability to successfully increase its credit facility capacity or enter into capital market transactions or other alternatives to provide for sufficient available cash for a sustained period of time;

risks associated with adverse conditions in the stock market, the public debt market, and other capital markets and the impact of such conditions on the Company, as well as risks associated with any failure by the Company to maintain compliance with the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), which include, among other things, a minimum average closing price, share volume, and market capitalization, the Company’s Class A common stock will not remain listed for trading on the NYSE;

risks related to potential business expansion or other strategic opportunities, including that they may involve significant costs and the incurrence of significant indebtedness and may not be successful and that the Company’s efforts and expenses in connection with enhancement of the experience of Bluegreen Vacation Club Members may be greater than anticipated and may not result in the benefits anticipated;

risks associated with the ratings of third-party rating agencies, including the impact of any downgrade on the Company’s ability to obtain, renew or extend credit facilities, or otherwise raise funds;

risks of cybersecurity threats, including the potential misappropriation of assets or confidential information, corruption of data or operational disruptions;

the updating of, and developments with respect to, technology, including the cost involved in updating technology and the impact that any failure to keep pace with developments in technology could have on the Company’s operations or competitive position, and the Company’s information technology expenditures may not result in the expected benefits;

5


the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting of the adoption of new accounting standards; and

the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) involves making estimates, judgments and assumptions, and any changes in estimates, judgments and assumptions used could have a material adverse impact on the financial condition and operating results of the Company.

In addition to the foregoing, reference is made to the other risks and uncertainties discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of, and elsewhere in, this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including those inherent to the Company’s business and the vacation ownership industry and risks related to ownership of the Company’s stock.

Item 1. Business.

Overview

The Company’s sole activities relate to the activities of Bluegreen, a leading vacation ownership company that markets and sells VOIs and manages resorts in popular leisure and urban destinations. Bluegreen, which was previously a 93% owned subsidiary of the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company in May 2021 as a result of the statutory short-form merger described below.

8


On September 30, 2020, the Company completed its spin-off of BBX Capital, Inc. (“BBX Capital”). BBX Capital was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company prior to the spin-off and became a separate public company as a result of the spin-off. BBX Capital holds all of the historical business and investments of the Company other than the Company’s investment in Bluegreen. BBX Capital and its subsidiaries are presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s financial statements.

In connection with the spin-off, the Company’s name was changed from BBX Capital Corporation to Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation. The Company also issued a $75.0 million note payable to BBX Capital (of which $50.0 million remained outstanding at December 31, 2021). The note accrues interest at a rate of 6% per annum and requires payments of interest on a quarterly basis. Under the terms of the note, the Company has the option in its discretion to defer interest payments under the note, with interest on the entire outstanding balance thereafter to accrue at a cumulative, compounded rate of 8% per annum until such time as the Company is current on all accrued payments under the note, including deferred interest. All remaining outstanding amounts under the note will become due and payable in September 2025 or earlier upon certain other events.

On May 5, 2021, the Company acquired all of the approximately 7% of the outstanding shares of Bluegreen’s common stock not previously owned by the Company through a statutory short-form merger under Florida law. In connection with the merger, Bluegreen’s shareholders (other than the Company) received 0.51 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for each share of Bluegreen’s common stock that they held at the effective time of the merger (subject to rounding up of fractional shares). The Company issued approximately 2.66 million shares of its Class A Common Stock in connection with the merger. As a result of the completion of the merger, Bluegreen became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and its common stock was no longer publicly traded.

In July 2020, the Company effected a one-for-five reverse split of its Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. Share and per share amounts set forth herein have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the one-for-five reverse stock split as if it had occurred as of January 1, 2019.

Our Business

Bluegreen is a leading vacation ownership company that markets and sells VOIs and manages resorts in popular leisure and urban destinations. Bluegreen’s resort network includes 45 Club Resorts (resorts in which owners in the Bluegreen Vacation Club (“Vacation Club”) have the right to use most of the units in connection with their VOI ownership) and 23 Club Associate Resorts (resorts in which owners in the Vacation Club have the right to use only a limited number of units in connection with their VOI ownership). These Club Resorts and Club Associate Resorts are primarily located in high-volume, “drive-to” vacation locations, including Orlando, Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach, Charleston and New Orleans, among others. Through Bluegreen’s points-based system, the approximately 217,000 owners in the Vacation Club have the flexibility to stay at units available at any of Bluegreen’s resorts and have access to over 11,300 other hotels and resorts through partnerships and exchange networks. Bluegreen’s sales and marketing platform is supported by marketing relationships with nationally-recognized consumer brands, such as Bass Pro and Choice Hotels. The Company believes these marketing relationships help generate sales within its core demographic, which is described below.

Bluegreen’s vacation ownership business consists of the sale of VOIs in resorts that Bluegreen has developed or acquired, VOIs it has purchased under just-in-time (“JIT”) arrangements with third-party developers and VOIs acquired from secondary market sources (together referred to as “Bluegreen owned VOI sales”). Further, Bluegreen utilizes its expertise and infrastructure to derive a portion of its revenue from sales of VOIs owned by third-party developers pursuant to which Bluegreen is paid a commission (“fee-based sales”). In addition, Bluegreen provides resorts and resort developers with other fee-based services, including resort management, mortgage servicing, title services and construction management. Bluegreen also offers financing to qualified VOI purchasers, which generates significant interest income.

Picture 3

(1)Excludes “Other Income, Net”.

The Vacation Club has grown from approximately 170,000 owners as of December 31, 2012 to approximately 217,000 owners as of December 31, 2021. The average Vacation Club owner is 48 years old and has an average annual household income of approximately $83,000. According to U.S. census data, households with an annual income of $50,000 to $100,000 represents approximately 29% of the total population. Bluegreen believes its ability to effectively scale the transaction size to suit its customer, as well as its high-quality, conveniently-located, “drive-to” resorts are key factors in attracting its core target demographic.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic caused an unprecedented disruption in the U.S. and global economies and the industries in which the Company operates due to, among other things, government ordered “shelter in place” and “stay at home” orders and advisories, travel restrictions, and restrictions on business operations, including government guidance with respect to travel, public accommodations, social gatherings, and related matters. These disruptions and the reaction of the general public to the pandemic had a significant adverse impact on Bluegreen's financial condition and operations throughout 2020, including, without limitation, due to the temporary closure beginning in March 2020 of all of Bluegreen’s VOI sales centers, its retail marketing operations at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s stores and outlet malls, and its Choice Hotels call transfer program, Bluegreen’s cancellation of existing owner reservations through May 15, 2020 and new prospect guest tours through June 30, 2020, and the temporary closure of certain of Bluegreen’s Club Resorts and Club Associate Resorts in accordance with government mandates and advisories. While adverse conditions continued during 2021, including as a result of the emergence of new variants such as the Delta variant and Omicron variant (which emerged as a variant of concern during the fourth quarter of 2021), Bluegreen’s business and results generally improved during 2021.

As of December 31, 2021, Bluegreen was operating marketing kiosks at 128 Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s stores, including 28 new Cabela’s locations and 2 new Bass Pro locations opened during the year ended December 31, 2021; the Choice Hotels call transfer program was close to pre-pandemic volume; and all of Bluegreen’s VOI sales centers and resorts were open, except for one resort and sales center in Surfside, Florida which was closed due to conditions unrelated to the pandemic.  Further, resort occupancy rates were approximately 81% at resorts with sales centers for the year ended December 31, 2021 and we sold approximately 211,000 vacation packages in 2021 compared to approximately 132,000 in 2020. Additionally, Bluegreen’s pipeline of vacation packages was 187,200 at December 31, 2021 compared to 121,900 at December 31, 2020, which we believe reflected the impact of the temporary cessation of marketing activities at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that the increase in sales of VOIs in 2021 reflects the improvement in general economic conditions despite continued COVID-19 cases, federal mandates, and higher inflation levels during the year.

10


While we hope that conditions in the travel and leisure industry continue to improve, the continued future impact of the pandemic and its impact on the Company is uncertain. Various state and local government officials may in the future issue new or revised orders that are different than the ones under which we are currently operating. It is impossible to predict the duration and severity of the pandemic and the likely impact of the pandemic on the Company’s future revenues, net income and other operating results. See “Risk Factors - The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and the current and uncertain future outlook of the pandemic may to continue to have, a significant adverse effect on Bluegreen’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.”

Vacation Ownership Interests

Since entering the vacation ownership industry in 1994, Bluegreen has generated over 769,000 VOI sales transactions. Vacation Club owners receive an annual or biennial allotment of “points” in perpetuity (supported by an underlying deeded VOI held in trust for the owner) that may be used to stay at any of Bluegreen’s 45 Club Resorts and 23 Club Associate Resorts. Vacation Club owners can use their points to stay in resorts for varying lengths of time, starting at a minimum of two nights. The number of points required for a stay at a resort depends on a variety of factors, including resort location, size of the unit, vacation season and the days of the week. Under this system, Vacation Club owners can select vacations according to their schedules, space needs and available points. Subject to certain restrictions and fees, Vacation Club owners are typically allowed to carry over any unused points for one year and to “borrow” points from the next year.

Each of Bluegreen’s Club Resorts and Club Associate Resorts is managed by an HOA, which is governed by a board of directors or trustees. The board hires a management company to which it delegates many of the responsibilities of the HOA, including landscaping, security, housekeeping, garbage collection, utilities, insurance procurement, laundry and repairs and maintenance. Vacation Club owners pay annual maintenance fees which cover the costs of operating all of the resorts in the Vacation Club system, including fees for real estate taxes and reserves for capital improvements. If a Vacation Club owner does not pay such charges, his or her use rights may be suspended and ultimately terminated, subject to the applicable lender’s first mortgage lien, if any, on such owner’s VOI. Bluegreen provides management services to 49 resorts and the Vacation Club through contractual arrangements with HOAs. Bluegreen has a 100% renewal rate on management contracts from Club Resorts.

The Vacation Club’s points-based platform offers owners significant flexibility. As reflected in the chart below, basic Vacation Club ownership entitles owners to use their points to stay at any of Bluegreen’s 45 Club Resorts and 23 Club Associate Resorts, as well as to access more than 4,200 resorts available through the Resort Condominiums International, LLC (“RCI”) exchange network. For a nominal annual fee and transaction fees, Vacation Club owners can join and utilize the Traveler Plus program, which enables them to use their points to access an additional 46 direct exchange resorts, and other vacation experiences. Traveler Plus members can also directly use their Vacation Club points for stays in Choice Hotels’ Ascend Hotel Collection properties and Cambria Hotels and other benefits. Overall, there are more than 7,000 hotels in the Choice Hotels network, located in over 40 countries and territories, and Choice Hotels’ brands include the Ascend Hotel Collection, Comfort Inn, Comfort Suites, Quality Inn, Sleep Inn, Clarion, Clarion Pointe, Cambria Hotels and Suites, MainStay Suites, Suburban Extended Stay Hotel, Econo Lodge, Rodeway Inn, WoodSpring Suites and Everhome Suites. In addition, Vacation Club owners can convert their Vacation Club points into Choice Privileges points, which can be used for stays in Choice Hotels’ properties Bluegreen continuously seeks new ways to provide value to its Vacation Club owners, including enhanced product offerings, new resort locations, broader vacation experiences and further technological innovation, all of which are designed to increase guest satisfaction.

Picture 1

Approximately 65% of Vacation Club owners were enrolled in Traveler Plus as of December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2021, approximately 9% of Vacation Club owners utilized the RCI exchange network. Historically, the owner utilization of RCI has been between 4% and 9%.

Vacation Club Resort Locations

As shown in the map below, Vacation Club resorts are primarily located on the U.S. East Coast and Midwest. The 46 direct-exchange resorts available to Traveler Plus members are concentrated along the West Coast and Hawaii. The Company believes that, together, this provides a broad geographic offering of resorts available to Vacation Club owners.

12


Picture 2

Vacation Club resorts are primarily “drive-to” resort destinations as approximately 88% of Bluegreen’s Vacation Club owners live within a four-hour drive of at least one resort. Bluegreen resorts are generally located in popular vacation destinations, such as Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Texas, Louisiana, and Nevada, and represent a diverse mix of resort and urban destinations, allowing Vacation Club owners the ability to customize their vacation experience. In addition, Bluegreen offers Vacation Club owners access to Aruba.

Bluegreen’s resort network also offers a diverse mix of experiences and accommodations. Unlike some of Bluegreen’s competitors that maintain static brand design standards across resorts and geographies, Bluegreen seeks to design resorts that capture the uniqueness of a particular location. The goal of Bluegreen’s resorts is to offer an authentic experience and connection to the resorts’ unique and varied locations.

Bluegreen resorts typically feature condominium-style accommodations with amenities such as fully equipped kitchens, entertainment centers and in-room laundry appliances. Many resorts feature a clubhouse (including a pool, game room and lounge), hotel-type staff and concierge services.

Bluegreen also owns a 51% interest in Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, which develops, markets and sells VOIs at three premier wilderness-themed resorts adjacent to Table Rock Lake near Branson, Missouri: The Bluegreen Wilderness Club at Big Cedar, The Cliffs at Long Creek and Paradise Point. The remaining 49% interest in Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations is held by Big Cedar, LLC, an affiliate of Bass Pro. As a result of Bluegreen’s controlling interest in Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the results of operations and financial condition of Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations.

(3)This resort is managed by Casa Grande Cooperative Association I, which has contracted with Bluegreen Resorts Management to provide management consulting services to the resort. The services provided by Bluegreen Resorts Management to this resort pursuant to such agreement are similar in nature to, but less extensive than, the services provided by Bluegreen or its subsidiaries to the other resorts listed in the table as “Managed by Bluegreen.” Further, Vacation Club owners can access or partially access 447 units of the 449 units at this resort.

(4)This resort is developed, marketed and sold by Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations.

(5)In addition to the sales centers identified in the table, Bluegreen also operates a sales center in Memphis, Tennessee.

(6)Due to local restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, this sales center was consolidated with the Marquee sales center, which is close in proximity to Bluegreen Club La Pension.

(7)This resort and sales center are temporarily closed.

Marketing and Sale of Inventory

VOI sales are typically generated by attracting prospective customers (“guests”) to tour a resort and attend a sales presentation (a “guest tour”). Bluegreen’s sales and marketing platforms utilize a variety of methods to attract prospective customers, drive guest tour flow and sell VOIs in its Vacation Club. Bluegreen utilizes marketing alliances with nationally-recognized brands, which provide access to venues which target consumers generally matching Bluegreen’s core demographic. In addition, guests are sourced through programs which generate leads at high-traffic venues and in high-density tourist locations and events, as well as through referrals from existing owners and other guests at Bluegreen’s properties.

Many of Bluegreen’s marketing programs intended to attract prospective customers involve the sale of a discounted vacation package that typically includes a two to three night stay in close proximity to one of Bluegreen’s sales offices and requires participation in a guest tour. Vacation packages may be sold either in retail brick and mortar establishments, such as Bass Pro and Cabela’s stores and malls, through Bluegreen’s call transfer program with Choice, or via telemarketing. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Bluegreen sold approximately 211,000 vacation packages and 26% of its VOI sales were made to guests who had previously purchased a vacation package and attended a guest tour. As of December 31, 2021, Bluegreen had a pipeline of over 187,000 vacation packages sold to new customers. While there is no assurance that this will continue to be the case, prior to the impact of COVID-19 on travel, historically approximately 40% to 42% of vacation packages resulted in a timeshare tour within twelve months of purchase. In addition to vacation packages sold to new prospects, as reflected in the discussion above, Bluegreen also sells vacation packages to customers who have already toured and purchased a VOI, and have indicated

15


they would tour again. As of December 31, 2021, the pipeline included approximately 15,000 of such packages. There is no assurance that such packages will convert to sales at historical or expected levels.

Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited (“BVU”), Bluegreen’s wholly-owned subsidiary, has an exclusive marketing agreement with Bass Pro, a nationally-recognized retailer of fishing, marine, hunting, camping and sports gear, that provides BVU with the right to market and sell vacation packages at kiosks in Bass Pro’s and Cabela’s retail locations and through other means. The Company believes that Bass Pro has a loyal customer base that strongly matches Bluegreen’s core demographic.

During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, VOI sales to prospects and leads generated by the agreement with Bass Pro accounted for approximately 19%, 12% and 13%, respectively, of VOI sales volume. As of December 31, 2021, Bluegreen was operating marketing kiosks at 128 Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s stores, including 28 new Cabela’s marketing locations and 2 new Bass Pro marketing locations opened during 2021.

Bluegreen also has an exclusive strategic relationship with Choice Hotels that involves several areas of its business, including a sales and marketing alliance that enables Bluegreen to leverage Choice Hotels’ brands, customer relationships and marketing channels to sell vacation packages. Vacation packages are sold through customer reservation calls transferred to Bluegreen from Choice Hotels. Bluegreen’s strategic relationship with Choice Hotels began in 2013 and was extended in August 2017 for a 15 year term, with an additional 15-year renewal term thereafter unless either party elects not to renew the arrangement.

The Company believes that its diverse strategic marketing alliances (including those with Bass Pro, Choice Hotels and other local and national marketing programs) provides a potential strategic advantage over certain of its competitors that rely primarily on relationships with their affiliated hotel brands to drive lead generation and new owner growth. The Company’s goal is to identify marketing partners with brands that attract its targeted owner demographic and to build successful marketing relationships with those partners. In addition to the programs described above, Bluegreen may also engage in other local and national marketing programs from time to time.

In addition to sales to new customers, Bluegreen seeks to sell additional VOI points to its existing Vacation Club owners. These sales generally have lower marketing costs and result in higher operating margins than sales generated through other marketing channels. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, sales to existing Vacation Club owners accounted for 54%, 64% and 55%, respectively, of Bluegreen’s system-wide sales of VOIs. Bluegreen targets a balanced mix of new customer and existing Vacation Club owner sales to support its goal of sustainable long-term growth. While there is no assurance that it will be the case in the future, Bluegreen believes that the variety of its marketing relationships has historically facilitated a healthy mix of new owner sales vs. existing owner sales that compare favorably to its competitors.

Bluegreen operates 24 sales centers, typically located adjacent to Bluegreen’s resorts. As of December 31, 2021, Bluegreen had over 3,300 employees dedicated to VOI sales and marketing. Bluegreen typically utilizes a uniform sales process and offers ongoing training for its sales personnel with the goal of maintaining strict quality control policies. During the year ended December 31, 2021, 97% of Bluegreen’s sales were generated from 20 of Bluegreen’s sales centers which focus on both new customer and existing Vacation Club owner sales. Bluegreen’s remaining 4 sales centers are primarily focused on sales to existing Vacation Club owners staying at the respective resort. Bluegreen also utilizes telesales operations to sell additional VOIs to Vacation Club owners.

VOI Inventory Sourcing

The Company’s business model is designed to give it potential flexibility to capitalize on opportunities and adapt to changing market environments. The Company has the ability to adjust its targeted mix of sales of Bluegreen owned VOI inventory vs. fee-based owned VOI inventory, sales to new customers vs. existing Vacation Club owners, and cash vs. financed sales. While the Company may pursue opportunities that primarily impact its short-term results, the long-term goal is to achieve sustained growth while maximizing earnings and cash flow.

16


Bluegreen Owned VOI Inventory

Bluegreen owned VOI inventory includes VOIs in resorts that Bluegreen has developed or acquired in addition to VOI inventory acquired pursuant to JIT and secondary market arrangements. Sales of VOIs from Bluegreen owned VOI inventory comprised 69% of system-wide sales of VOIs during the year ended December 31, 2021. Bluegreen holds the notes receivable originated in connection with sales of Bluegreen owned VOI inventory. Bluegreen also typically holds the HOA management contract associated with these resorts.

Bluegreen enters into JIT VOI inventory acquisition agreements with third-party developers that allow Bluegreen to buy VOI inventory in close proximity to when it intends to sell such VOIs. While Bluegreen typically enters into such arrangements on a non-committed basis, Bluegreen may engage in committed arrangements under certain circumstances. Similar to fee-based inventory, JIT VOI inventory does not expose Bluegreen to risk for development financing. However, acquisition of VOI inventory through JIT arrangements are at a higher cost compared to VOIs acquired or developed and VOI inventory acquired pursuant to secondary market sources.

From time to time, Bluegreen acquires VOI inventory from HOAs and other owners generally on a non-committed basis. These VOIs are typically obtained by the applicable HOA through foreclosure or termination in connection with HOA maintenance fee defaults or from charities to which a consumer has donated their VOI and from the HOA through the HOA’s exercise of its right of first refusal. In these cases, Bluegreen generally purchases VOIs from these secondary market sources at a significant discount to retail price.

Fee-Based or Third Party Developer Owned VOI Inventory

Bluegreen offers sales and marketing services to third-party developers for a commission. Under these arrangements, which are typically entered into on a non-committed basis, Bluegreen sells third-party developers’ VOIs as Vacation Club interests through Bluegreen’s sales and marketing platform. Bluegreen also provides third-party developers with administrative services, periodic reporting and analytics through Bluegreen’s proprietary software platform. Bluegreen seeks to structure the fee for these services to cover selling and marketing costs, plus an operating profit. Historically, Bluegreen has targeted a commission rate of 65% to 75% of the VOI sales price. Sales of third-party developer owned VOIs comprised 31% of system-wide sales of VOIs during the year ended December 31, 2021. Notes receivable originated in connection with sales of third-party developer owned VOIs are held by the third-party developer and, in certain cases, are serviced by Bluegreen for an additional fee. In connection with sales of fee-based inventory, Bluegreen is not at risk for development financing and has no capital requirements, thereby potentially increasing return on invested capital, or ROIC. Bluegreen also typically holds the HOA management contract associated with these resorts.

Future VOI Inventory

The retail value of Bluegreen owned completed VOI inventory increases or decreases from period to period due to the acquisition of inventory through JIT and secondary market arrangements, development of new VOIs, reacquisition of VOIs through notes receivable defaults and changes to VOI sales prices and completed VOI sales. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, Bluegreen owned completed VOI inventory (excluding units not currently being marketed as VOIs, such as model units) and had access to additional completed VOI inventory through fee-based and JIT arrangements having a retail sales value as follows (dollars are in thousands and represent the then-estimated retail sales value):

Based on current estimates and expectations, the Company believes this inventory, combined with inventory being developed by Bluegreen or its third-party developer clients, and inventory that it may reacquire in connection with mortgage and maintenance fee defaults, can support its VOI sales at its current levels for approximately four years. The Company is focused on strategically expanding its inventory through development at certain of its resorts over the next several years. The Company intends to continue to strategically evaluate opportunities to develop or acquire VOI inventory in key strategic markets where it identifies growing demand and where it currently has or expects to have a significant marketing and sales network. Sales of third-party developer owned VOIs is expected to decrease as a percentage of system-wide sales of VOIs compared to prior years as the Company continues its efforts to increase Bluegreen owned VOI sales in the future.

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the estimated retail sales value and cash purchase price of the VOIs Bluegreen acquired through secondary market arrangements were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Active development activities consist primarily of additional VOI units being developed at The Bluegreen Wilderness Club at Big Cedar in Ridgedale, Missouri, The Club at Big Bear in Big Bear Lake, California and The Bluegreen Vacations Mountain Loft Resort in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

Management and Other Fee-Based Services

The Company earns recurring management fees for providing services to HOAs. These management services include oversight of front desk, housekeeping, maintenance as well as certain accounting and administrative functions. The Company believes its management contracts yield highly predictable cash flows that do not have the traditional risks associated with hotel management contracts that are linked to daily rate or occupancy. Bluegreen’s management contracts are typically structured as “cost-plus” management fees, pursuant to which it generally earns fees equal to 10% to 12% of the costs to operate the applicable resort. These agreements generally have an initial term of three years with automatic one year renewals. As of December 31, 2021, Bluegreen provided management services to 49 resorts. The Company also earns recurring management fees for providing services to the Vacation Club. The services to the Vacation Club include managing the reservation system and providing owner billing and collection services. Bluegreen’s management contract with the Vacation Club currently provides for reimbursement of its costs plus a fee equal to $10 per Vacation Club owner. The Company may seek to expand its management services business, including to provide hospitality management services to hotels for third parties.

In addition to HOA and club management services, the Company also provides other fee-based services that produce revenue without the significant capital investment generally associated with the development and acquisition of resorts. These services include title and escrow services for fees in connection with the closing of VOI sales, servicing notes receivable held by third parties (typically a fee equal to 1.5% of the principal balance of the serviced portfolio), and construction management services for third-party developers (typically fees equal to 4% of the cost of construction of the project). The Company also receives revenue from retail and food and beverage operations at certain resorts.

Customer Financing

The Company generally offers qualified purchasers financing for up to 90% of the purchase price of VOIs. The typical financing provides for a term of ten years and a fixed interest rate that is determined based on the FICO score of the borrower, the amount of the down payment and existing ownership, is fully amortizing in equal installments, and may

18


be prepaid without penalty. Purchasers may receive an additional 1% discount on the interest rate by participating in a pre-authorized payment plan. As of December 31, 2021, approximately 93% of the Bluegreen’s serviced VOI notes receivable participated in the pre-authorized payment plan. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the weighted-average interest rate on the Company’s VOI notes receivable was 15.3%.

VOI purchasers are generally required to make a down payment or have equity in an existing VOI of at least 10% of the sales price. As part of the Company’s efforts to manage operating cash flows, it currently incentivizes its sales associates to encourage cash sales and higher down payments on financed sales, with a target of 40-45% of the VOI sales price collected in cash. Bluegreen also promotes a point-of-sale credit card program sponsored by a third-party financial institution. Including down payments received on financed sales, approximately 41% of system-wide sales of VOIs during the year ended December 31, 2021 were paid in cash within approximately 30 days from the contract date.

See “Sales/Financing of Receivables” below for additional information regarding the Company’s receivable financing activities.

Loan Underwriting

The Company generally does not originate financing to customers with FICO scores below 600. However, it may provide financing to customers with no FICO score or a FICO score between 575 and 599 if the customer makes a minimum down payment of 20%. For loans made during 2021, the borrowers’ weighted-average FICO score after a 30-day, “same as cash” period from the point of sale was 723. Further information is set forth in the following table:

Collection Policies

Financed VOI sales originated by the Company utilize a note and mortgage. Collection efforts related to these VOI notes receivable are managed by Bluegreen. Collectors are incentivized through a performance-based compensation program.

Bluegreen generally pursues collection efforts with respect to Vacation Club owners with outstanding loans secured by their VOI by mail, telephone and email (as early as 10 days past due). At 30 days past due, Bluegreen mails a collection letter to the owner if a U.S. resident advising that if the loan is not brought current, the delinquency will be reported to a credit reporting agency. At 60 days past due, Bluegreen mails a letter to the owner advising that he or she may be prohibited from making future reservations for lodging at a resort. At 90 days past due, the Company stops the accrual of, and reverses previously accrued but unpaid, interest on the note receivable and typically mails a notice informing the owner that unless the delinquency is cured within 30 days, Bluegreen may terminate the underlying VOI ownership. If an owner fails to bring the account current within the given timeframe, the loan is typically defaulted and the owner’s VOI is terminated. In that case, Bluegreen mails a final letter, typically at approximately 127 days past due, notifying the owner of the loan default and the termination of his or her beneficial interest in the VOI property. Thereafter, Bluegreen may seek to resell the VOI to a new purchaser. In certain cases, at its discretion, Bluegreen may not default the loan and terminate the underlying VOI, in which case the loan would remain delinquent.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company estimates uncollectible VOI notes receivable based on historical loss amounts for similar VOI notes receivable and does not consider the value of the underlying collateral. The Company holds large pools of

19


homogeneous VOI notes receivable and assesses uncollectibility based on pools of receivables as it does not believe there are significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty or groups of counterparties. In estimating future loan losses, management does not use a single primary indicator of credit quality, but instead evaluates VOI notes receivable based upon a combination of factors, including a static pool analysis that incorporates the aging of the respective receivables, default trends, and prepayment rates by origination year, as well as the FICO scores of borrowers.

Substantially all defaulted VOI notes receivable result in the holder of such receivable acquiring the related VOI that secured such receivable, typically soon after default and at little or no cost. The reacquired VOI is then available for resale in the normal course of business.

See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional information about the performance of the Company’s notes receivable portfolio.

Sales/Financing of Receivables

The Company’s ability to sell or borrow against its VOI notes receivable is an important factor in meeting its liquidity requirements. The vacation ownership business generally involves sales where a buyer is only required to pay 10% of the purchase price up front, while at the same time selling and marketing expenses related to such sales are primarily cash expenses that exceed the down payment amount. For the year ended December 31, 2021, sales and marketing expenses totaled approximately 55% of system-wide sales of VOIs. Accordingly, having facilities for the sale or hypothecation of VOI notes receivable, along with periodic term securitization transactions, have been critical factors in meeting the Company’s short and long-term cash needs. There are no assurances that sales, hypothecation or securitization of VOIs will be available in the future at acceptable terms or at all. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional information about the Company’s VOI notes receivable purchase facilities and term securitizations.

Receivables Servicing

Receivables servicing includes collecting payments from borrowers and remitting the funds to the owners, lenders or investors in such receivables, accounting for principal and interest on such receivables, making advances when required, contacting delinquent borrowers, terminating a Vacation Club ownership in the event that defaults are not timely remedied and performing other administrative duties.

The Company receives fees for servicing its securitized notes receivable. These fees are included as a component of interest income. Additionally, the Company earns servicing fee income from third-party developers in connection with its servicing of their loan portfolios under certain fee-based services arrangements, which is netted against the cost of mortgage servicing operations.

Bluegreen’s Core Operating and Growth Strategies

Grow VOI sales

Bluegreen’s goal is to utilize its sales and marketing platform to achieve VOI sales growth through the expansion of existing alliances, continued development of new marketing programs and additional VOI sales to Bluegreen’s existing Vacation Club owners. Bluegreen believes there are a number of opportunities within its existing marketing alliances to drive future growth. In addition to its marketing through Bass Pro, Bluegreen plans to enhance its marketing program through Choice Hotels’ call-transfer programs. In addition to existing programs, Bluegreen hopes to utilize its sales and marketing expertise to identify additional unique marketing relationships with nationally-recognized brands that resonate with its core demographic. Bluegreen will also continue to actively seek to sell additional VOI points to its existing Vacation Club owners, which typically involve significantly lower marketing costs and have higher conversion rates compared to sales to new customers. Bluegreen’s goal continues to be to expand and update its sales offices to more effectively convert tours generated by its marketing programs into sales. To this end Bluegreen has focused on identifying high traffic resorts where it believes increased investment in sales office infrastructure will yield strong sales results.

20


Continue to enhance Bluegreen’s Vacation Club experience

Bluegreen believes its Vacation Club offers owners exceptional value. Bluegreen’s Vacation Club offers owners access to its 45 Club Resorts and 23 Club Associate Resorts in popular vacation destinations, as well as access to over 11,300 other hotels and resorts and other vacation experiences, through partnerships and exchange networks. Bluegreen continues to seek to add value and flexibility to its Vacation Club membership and enhance the vacation experience of its Vacation Club owners, including through the addition of new destinations, the expansion of its exchange programs and the addition of new partnerships offering increased vacation options. Bluegreen also continuously seeks to improve its technology, including websites and applications, to enhance its Vacation Club owners’ experiences. Bluegreen believes its focus, combined with its high-quality customer service, will continue to enhance the Vacation Club experience, supporting Bluegreen’s objective to entice guests to vacation and drive sales to new owners and additional sales to existing Vacation Club owners.

Grow higher-margin, cash generating revenues

Bluegreen also seeks to grow its recurring revenues such as resort management and financing revenues. Bluegreen believes these revenues are generally more predictable and can grow with little additional investment in infrastructure and can potentially produce higher-margins.

Increase sales and operating efficiencies across all customer touch-points

Bluegreen is actively seeking to improve its operational execution across all aspects of its business. Bluegreen’s sales and marketing platform utilizes a variety of screening methods and data-driven analyses intended to identify and attract high-quality prospects to its sales offices in an effort to increase volume per guest (“VPG”), an important measure of sales efficiency. Bluegreen also intends to leverage its size, infrastructure and expertise to increase its operating efficiency and profitability and hopes to gain further operational efficiencies by streamlining its support operations, such as call centers, customer service, administration and information technology.

Pursue opportunistic strategic transactions

As part of our growth strategy, we may seek to acquire other VOI companies, resort assets, sales and marketing platforms, management companies and contracts, and other assets, properties and businesses, particularly where significant synergies and cost savings may be available. We believe Bluegreen’s flexible sales and marketing platform may make these transactions possible in a variety of economic conditions.

Industry Overview

The vacation ownership, or timeshare, industry is a growing segment of the global travel and tourism sector. By purchasing a VOI, the purchaser typically acquires either (i) a fee simple interest in a property (or collection of properties) providing annual usage rights at the owner’s home resort (where the owner’s VOI is deeded), or (ii) an annual or biennial allotment of points that can be redeemed for stays at properties included in the vacation ownership company’s resort network or for other vacation options available through exchange programs. Compared to hotel rooms, vacation ownership units typically offer more spacious floor plans and residential features, such as living rooms, fully equipped kitchens, laundry appliances and dining areas. Compared to owning a vacation home in its entirety, the key advantages of vacation ownership products typically include a lower up-front acquisition cost and annual expenses, resort-style features and services and, often, an established infrastructure to exchange usage rights for stays across multiple locations.

The vacation ownership industry was historically highly fragmented, with a large number of local and regional resort developers and operators having small resort portfolios of varying quality. The Company believes that the current growth in the vacation ownership industry has been driven by increased interest from resort developers and globally-recognized lodging and entertainment brands, increased interest from consumers seeking flexible vacation options, continued product evolution and geographic expansion. Approximately 9.9 million families (approximately 7.7% of U.S. households) own at least one VOI.

21


The average VOI owner is 40 years old and married and 81% have either graduated from or attended college. VOI owners have an average household income of over $85,000.

Regulation

The vacation ownership and real estate industries are subject to extensive and complex governmental regulation and as a consequence, the Company is subject to various federal, state, local, foreign, environmental, zoning, consumer protection and other laws, rules and regulations, including those regarding the acquisition, marketing and sale of VOIs, as well as various aspects of its financing operations. At the federal level, the Federal Trade Commission has taken an active regulatory role through the Federal Trade Commission Act, which prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or unfair competition in interstate commerce. In addition, many states have what are known as “Little FTC Acts” that apply to intrastate activity.

In addition to the laws applicable to the Company’s customer financing and other operations discussed below, it may be subject to the Fair Housing Act and various other federal laws, rules and regulations. The Company is also subject to various foreign laws with respect to La Cabana Beach Resort and Casino in Oranjestad, Aruba and Blue Water Resort at Cable Beach in Nassau, Bahamas. The cost of complying with applicable laws and regulations may be significant and while efforts are in place to monitor compliance, those efforts may not at all times be successful. Any failure to comply with current or future applicable laws or regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results and operations.

The vacation ownership product is subject to various regulatory requirements, including state and local approvals. In most states the Company is required to file with the jurisdictions a detailed offering statement describing its business and all material aspects of the project and sale of VOIs with the designated state authority. In addition, when required by state law, the Company provides its VOI purchasers with a public offering disclosure statement that contains, among other items, detailed information about the VOI product and the purchaser’s rights and obligations as a VOI owner. Laws in each state where the Company sells VOIs generally grant the purchaser of a VOI the right to cancel a purchase contract at any time within a specified rescission period following the earlier of the date the contract was signed or the date the purchaser received the last of the documents required to be provided by the Company. Most states have other laws that regulate the Company’s activities, which may include real estate licensure requirements, sellers of travel licensure requirements, anti-fraud laws, telemarketing laws, prize, gift and sweepstakes laws, and labor laws.

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, the owner of real property is generally liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances located on or in, or emanating from, the property, as well as related costs of investigation and property damage. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the property owner knew of the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. The presence of these substances, or the failure to properly remediate these substances, may adversely affect a property owner’s ability to sell or lease a property or to borrow using the real property as collateral. Other federal and state laws require the removal or encapsulation of asbestos-containing material when such material is in poor condition or in the event of construction, demolition, remodeling or renovation. Other statutes may require the removal of underground storage tanks. Noncompliance with any of these and other environmental, health or safety requirements may result in the need to cease or alter operations or development at a property. In addition, certain state and local laws may impose liability on property developers including the Company with respect to construction defects discovered on the property or repairs made by future owners of such property. The development, management and operation of Bluegreen’s resorts are also subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The Company’s marketing, sales and customer financing activities are also subject to extensive regulation, which can include, but is not limited to: the Truth-in-Lending Act and Regulation Z; the Fair Housing Act; the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act; the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Regulation B; the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E; the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and Regulation C; the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”); Unfair or Deceptive Acts or Practices and Regulation AA; the Patriot Act; the Right to Financial Privacy Act; the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act; the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act; and anti-money laundering laws. Pursuant to the Dodd Frank Act, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) was created. The CFPB’s mandate is to protect consumers by carrying out federal consumer financial laws and to publish rules and forms that facilitate understanding of the financial implications of

22


the transactions consumers enter into. Consistent with this mission, the CFPB amended Regulations X and Z to establish new disclosure requirements and forms pursuant to Regulation Z for most closed-end consumer credit transactions secured by real property. The practical impact upon the Company is the requirement to use a new Integrated Mortgage Disclosure Statement in lieu of the separate Good Faith Estimate and Closing Statement. In addition, Bluegreen’s term securitization transactions must comply with certain requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act, including risk retention rules.

Bluegreen’s management of, and dealings with, HOAs, including the purchase of defaulted inventory from HOAs in connection with secondary market arrangements, is subject to state laws and resort rules and regulations, including those with respect to the establishment of budgets and expenditures, rule-making and the imposition of maintenance assessments.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, approximately 4% of VOI sales were generated by marketing to prospective purchasers obtained through internal and third-party vendors’ outbound telemarketing efforts. The Company attempts to monitor the actions and legal and regulatory compliance of these third parties, but there are risks associated with the Company’s and such third parties’ telemarketing efforts. State and federal regulators have increased regulations and enforcement actions related to telemarketing operations, including requiring the adherence to state “do not call” laws. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission and Federal Communications Commission have implemented national “do not call” legislation. The Company has attempted to mitigate the risks associated with telemarketing through the use of  “permission based marketing,” whereby the Company obtains the permission of prospective purchasers to contact them in the future, thereby exempting such calls from the various “do not call” laws. The Company has also implemented policies and procedures that it believes reduce the possibility that individuals who have requested to be placed on a “do not call” list are not contacted, but such policies and procedures ensure strict regulatory compliance.

To date, no material fines or penalties have been imposed as a result of the Company’s telemarketing operations. However, the Company and its subsidiaries have been the subject of proceedings for violation of the telemarketing laws and other laws applicable to the marketing and sale of VOIs. See “Note 12 to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.”

Competition

The Company competes with various high profile and well-established companies, many of which have greater liquidity and financial resources. Many of the world’s most recognized lodging, hospitality and entertainment companies develop and sell VOIs in resort properties. Major companies that now operate vacation ownership resorts directly, through subsidiaries or through strategic relationships include Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation, the Walt Disney Company, Hilton Grand Vacations, and Travel + Leisure Co. The Company also competes with numerous smaller owners and operators of vacation ownership resorts and from alternative lodging options available to consumers through both traditional methods of delivery as well as new web portals and applications, including private rentals of homes, apartments or condominium units, which have increased in popularity in recent years. The Company’s ability to remain competitive and to attract and retain customers depends on its customers’ satisfaction with its products and services as well as on distinguishing the quality, value, and efficiency of its products and services from those offered by its competitors. In the Company’s fee-based services business, it typically competes with Hilton Grand Vacations and Travel + Leisure Co. In addition to competing for sales leads, prospects and fee-based service clients, the Company competes with other VOI developers for marketing, sales and resort management personnel.

Seasonality

The Company has historically, and expects to continue to experience, seasonal fluctuations in its revenues and results of operations. This seasonality has resulted, and may continue to result, in fluctuations in quarterly operating results. Due to consumer travel patterns, the Company typically experiences more tours and higher VOI sales volume during the second and third quarters.

Human Resources

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had 5,586 employees, 481 of whom were located at its headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida. As of December 31, 2021, a total of 29 of the Company’s employees were covered by two collective bargaining agreements, which address the terms and conditions of their employment, including pay rates, working hours, certain employee benefits and procedures for settlement of labor disputes. The Company believes that its employee relations are good.

The performance of the Company’s employees is important to achievement of the Company’s business objectives. The Company seeks to offer market competitive compensation and benefit programs for its employees in an effort to attract and retain superior talent. In addition to competitive base wages, additional programs include incentive compensation plans, including long-term incentive plans, a company matched 401(k) plan, healthcare and insurance benefits, a tuition assistance program, health savings and flexible spending accounts, paid time off, family leave, and employee assistance programs.

The Company is committed to fostering an inclusive work environment that supports its workforce and the communities it serves. It is the Company’s policy to seek to hire the best qualified employees regardless of gender, ethnicity or other protected traits and to fully comply with all laws applicable to discrimination in the workplace.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The Company is subject to various risks and uncertainties relating to Bluegreen’s business and to the ownership and value of its stock, and general business, economic, financing, legal, regulatory, and other factors and conditions. In addition, new risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to either predict all risk factors or assess all potential impacts of any factor, or combination of factors. The risks discussed below also include forward-looking statements, and actual results and events may differ substantially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

BVH is a holding company and will rely primarily on dividends from Bluegreen to its operations and to service its debt, including its note payable to BBX Capital.

All of BVH’s operations and activities relate to the operations and activities of Bluegreen, and BVH will rely primarily on dividends from Bluegreen to service its debt and to fund its other cash requirements.

In connection with its spin-off of BBX Capital, its former wholly owned subsidiary, on September 30, 2020, the Company issued a $75.0 million promissory note in favor of BBX Capital. The note payable to BBX Capital accrues interest at a rate of 6% per annum and requires payments of interest on a quarterly basis; provided, however, that interest payments may be deferred at the option of the Company, with interest on the entire outstanding balance thereafter to accrue at a cumulative, compounded rate of 8% per annum until such time as the Company is current on all accrued payments under the note, including deferred interest. All outstanding amounts under the note will become due and payable in September 2025 or earlier upon certain events. In December 2021, the Company repaid $25.0 million of the note payable to BBX Capital, leaving a balance as of December 31, 2021 of $50.0 million.

The Company’s indebtedness at the holding company level also includes $66.3 million of junior subordinated debentures issued by Woodbridge Holdings Corporation (“Woodbridge”), the wholly owned subsidiary through which the Company holds its investment in Bluegreen. Woodbridge’s junior subordinated debentures accrue interest at a rate of 3-month LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 3.80% to 3.85%, mature between 2035 and 2036, and require payments of interest on a quarterly basis. The Company may also incur additional indebtedness in the future. The Company’s indebtedness increases its vulnerability to adverse economic conditions, as well as conditions in the credit markets generally, and may limit funds available for other purposes, including for acquisitions or investments, to pay dividends, and for other general corporate purposes.

It is currently expected that BVH will incur approximately $2.0 million to $2.2 million annually in executive compensation and public company costs and annual interest expense of approximately $5.7 million to $6.0 million associated with Woodbridge’s junior subordinated debentures and the note payable to BBX Capital. These amounts are estimates only and are based on current expectations and assumptions, currently available information and, with respect to interest expense on Woodbridge’s junior subordinated debentures, interest rates as of December 31, 2021. Such assumptions and expectations may not prove to be accurate, interest rates may increase and, accordingly, actual expenses may exceed the amounts expected. In addition, BVH may incur additional expenses.

BVH will be dependent on the payment of distributions by Bluegreen to fund its operations and satisfy its debt service requirements and other liabilities, including its note payable to BBX Capital. BVH may also in the future seek additional funds from third party sources, including traditional bank financing, secured or unsecured indebtedness, or the issuance of equity and/or debt securities. However, these alternatives may not be available to BVH on attractive terms, in the amounts needed, or at all. There is no assurance that Bluegreen will be in a position to, or will otherwise be permitted (including due to restrictions set forth in its debt instruments), to pay dividends to BVH in the amounts necessary to fund its debt service or other obligations, or at all. The inability to receive distributions from Bluegreen or to obtain funds from third party sources would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Alan B. Levan, John E. Abdo, Jarett S. Levan and Seth M. Wise’s control position may adversely affect the market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.

Alan B. Levan, the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, John E. Abdo, the Vice Chairman of the Company, Jarett S. Levan, the son of Mr. Alan Levan, a director of the Company and former President

25


of the Company, and Seth M. Wise, a director of the Company and former Executive Vice President of the Company, currently collectively beneficially own 4% of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, and 75% of the Company’s Class B Common Stock which in the aggregate represent approximately 79% of the total voting power of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. Because holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote as a single class on most matters, including the election of directors, as described below, Mr. Alan Levan, Mr. Abdo, Mr. Jarett Levan and Mr. Wise, without the vote or consent of any other shareholder of the Company, have the voting power to elect the Company’s directors and to control the outcome of any other vote of the Company’s shareholders, except in limited circumstances where Florida law mandates that the holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock vote as a separate class. This control position may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. In addition, their interests may conflict with the interests of the Company’s other shareholders.

The Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide for fixed relative voting percentages between the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.

The Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide for holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock to generally vote together as a single class, including with respect to the election of directors, with holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock possessing in the aggregate 22% of the total voting power of all common stock and holders of the Company’s Class B Common Stock possessing in the aggregate the remaining 78% of the total voting power. These relative voting percentages will remain fixed unless the number of shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock outstanding decreases to 360,000 shares, at which time the aggregate voting power of the Company’s Class A Common Stock will increase to 40% and the aggregate voting power of the Company’s Class B Common Stock will decrease to 60%. If the number of shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock outstanding decreases to 280,000 shares, then the aggregate voting power of the Company’s Class A Common Stock will increase to 53% and the aggregate voting power of the Company’s Class B Common Stock will decrease to 47%. If the number of shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock outstanding decreases to 100,000 shares, then the fixed voting percentages will be eliminated and each share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will be entitled to one vote per share. The share thresholds set forth above are subject to equitable adjustment to reflect any stock split, reverse stock split or similar transaction. The changes in the relative voting power represented by each class of the Company’s common stock are based only on the number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding, thus issuances of Class A Common Stock will have no effect on these provisions. If additional shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock are issued without a comparative increase in the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, the disparity between the equity interest represented by the Company’s Class B Common Stock and its voting power will widen. In addition, shareholders who hold shares of both the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, including Alan B. Levan, John E. Abdo, Jarett S. Levan and Seth M. Wise, are able to sell shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock without affecting in any material respect their overall voting interest. The fixed voting percentages between the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock may have an adverse impact on the market price of such securities.


26


Provisions in the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and provisions of Florida law may make it difficult for a third party to acquire the Company and could impact the price of, or otherwise adversely impact, the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.

The Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions that could delay, defer or prevent a change of control of the Company or its management. These provisions could make it more difficult for shareholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. As a result, these provisions could limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock. These provisions include:

the provisions in the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation regarding the special voting rights of the Company’s Class B Common Stock;

subject to the special class voting rights of the Company’s Class B Common Stock under certain circumstances, the authority of the Company’s Board of Directors to issue additional shares of common or preferred stock and to fix the relative rights and preferences of the preferred stock without shareholder approval, as described in further detail below; and

advance notice procedures to be complied with by shareholders in order to make shareholder proposals or nominate directors.

Further, due to the control position of Mr. Alan Levan, Mr. Abdo, Mr. Jarett Levan and Mr. Wise with respect to the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, as described above, a change of control or sale of the Company, or any other action which requires the affirmative vote of holders of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock representing a majority of the voting power of such stock, will be impossible without the consent of Mr. Alan Levan, Mr. Abdo, Mr. Jarett Levan and Mr. Wise, and Mr. Alan Levan, Mr. Abdo, Mr. Jarett Levan and Mr. Wise’s interests may conflict with the interests of the Company’s other shareholders.

Additionally, pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Florida law, except as may be required by applicable securities exchange rules and subject to the separate voting rights of the Company’s Class B Common Stock in certain circumstances, the Company’s Board of Directors may, without the consent of the Company’s shareholders, approve the issuance of authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s securities and fix the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. If the Company issues additional shares of its Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or other securities, its shareholders would experience dilution. In addition, any preferred stock declared and issued could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the Company’s Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock or otherwise adversely affect the holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, including the likelihood that holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock would receive dividend payments and payments on liquidation, or the amounts thereof. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions, financing transactions and other corporate purposes, could also, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control or other corporate actions, and might adversely affect the market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock. Preferred stock may also be issued, or reserved for issuance, in connection with the adoption of a shareholder rights plan, which may have anti-takeover effects. A shareholder rights plan may be adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors without shareholder approval or consent. The Company’s previous shareholder rights plan was terminated during May 2021 in connection with the Company’s acquisition at that time of the approximately 7% of Bluegreen’s common stock not previously owned by the Company.

In addition, as a Florida corporation, the Company is also subject to the provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”), including those limiting the voting rights of “control shares.” Under the FBCA, subject to certain exceptions, including mergers and acquisitions effected in accordance with the FBCA, the holder of “control shares” of a Florida corporation that has (i) 100 or more shareholders, (ii) its principal place of business, its principal office or substantial assets in Florida and (iii) either more than 10% of its shareholders residing in Florida, more than 10% of its shares owned by Florida residents or 1,000 shareholders residing in Florida, will not have the right to vote those shares unless the acquisition of the shares was approved by a majority of each class of voting securities of the corporation, excluding those shares held by interested persons. “Control shares” are defined in the FBCA as shares

27


acquired by a person, either directly or indirectly, that when added to all other shares of the issuing corporation owned by that person, would entitle that person to exercise, either directly or indirectly, voting power within any of the following ranges: (i) 20% or more but less than 33% of all voting power of the corporation’s voting securities; (ii) 33% or more but less than a majority of all voting power of the corporation’s voting securities; or (iii) a majority or more of all of the voting power of the corporation’s voting securities.

Acquisitions pursued by the Company may reduce earnings, require it to obtain additional financing and expose it to additional risks.

The Company may in the future pursue acquisitions or strategic investments. To the extent pursued and completed, acquisitions and investments may not result in the benefits anticipated or otherwise prove to be successful. Acquisitions or investments will also expose the Company to the risks of the businesses acquired or invested in and entail numerous other risks, including, but not limited to:

risks associated with achieving profitability;

diversion of management attention;

integration difficulties;

losses and unforeseen expenses or liabilities;

risks associated with entering new markets, if applicable;

the potential loss of key employees or management; and

risks associated with transferred assets and liabilities.

In addition, there may be significant competition for investments and acquisitions, which could increase the costs associated with the investment or acquisition. Substantial costs would be incurred in connection with the evaluation of potential acquisition and investment opportunities whether or not the acquisition or investment is ultimately consummated. Further, the funding of such investments or acquisitions may require additional debt or equity financing. If the Company requires additional financing in the future, the financing may not be available when needed or on favorable terms, if at all. Additionally, the Company does not intend to seek shareholder approval of any investments or acquisitions unless required by law or regulation, including applicable securities exchange rules, or by the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.

Future sales of the Company’s Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, or the perception in the public markets that these sales may occur, may cause the market price of such securities to decline.

Substantial sales of the Company’s Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, including sales of shares by controlling shareholders and management, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market prices of such securities. Management has in the past and may in the future enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans pursuant to which a significant number of shares are sold into the open market. In addition, as described above, due to the fixed voting percentages of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of 22% and 78%, respectively, holders of the Company’s Class B Common Stock who also own shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, including Alan B. Levan, John E. Abdo, Jarett S. Levan and Seth M. Wise, may sell a significant number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock that they own without significantly decreasing their voting power.

The Company’s Bylaws contain an exclusive forum provision, which could impair the ability of shareholders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for certain disputes with the Company or its directors, officers or other employees and be cost-prohibitive to shareholders.

The Company’s Bylaws contain an exclusive forum provision which provides that, unless its Board of Directors consents to the selection of an alternative forum, the Circuit Court located in Broward County, Florida (or, if such Circuit Court does not have jurisdiction, another Circuit Court located within Florida or, if no Circuit Court located within Florida has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the Southern District of Florida) will be the sole and exclusive forum for “Covered Proceedings,” which include: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on the Company’s behalf; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of the Company’s directors, officers or other employees to the Company or its shareholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against the

28


Company or any of its directors, officers or other employees arising pursuant to any provision of the FBCA, or the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws (in each case, as may be amended or amended and restated from time to time); and (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any of its directors, officers or other employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Florida. To the extent within the categories set forth in the preceding sentence, Covered Proceedings include causes of action under the Exchange Act and the Securities Act. The exclusive forum provision will also provide that if any Covered Proceeding is filed in a court other than a court located within Florida in the name of any shareholder, then such shareholder shall be deemed to have consented to (a) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Florida in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the exclusive forum provision and (b) having service of process made upon such shareholder in any such enforcement action by service upon such shareholder’s counsel in the action as agent for such shareholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shareholders cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. The exclusive forum provision may limit a shareholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with the Company or its directors, officers or other employees or be cost-prohibitive to shareholders, which may discourage such lawsuits against the Company or its directors, officers and other employees. However, there is uncertainty regarding whether a court would enforce the exclusive forum provision. If a court were to find the exclusive forum provision to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, the Company may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and operating results.



The Company may not resume regular quarterly dividends or otherwise pay dividends on its Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock in the future.



The Company paid regular quarterly cash dividends from June 2016 through the first quarter of 2020. However, in April 2020, the Company suspended its regular quarterly dividend payment due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is no assurance that the Company will resume paying regular quarterly dividends or otherwise make any dividend payments in the future. The payments of dividends by the Company, if any, will depend on many factors considered by its Board of Directors, including, without limitation, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, liquidity requirements, market opportunities, and contractual constraints. The terms of the Company’s indebtedness may also restrict it from paying cash dividends on its stock under certain circumstances.

Risks Related to Bluegreen’s Business and the Vacation Ownership Industry

Bluegreen is subject to the business, financial and operating risks inherent to the vacation ownership industry, any of which could adversely impact the Company’s business, prospects and results.

Bluegreen is subject to a number of business, financial and operating risks inherent to the vacation ownership industry, including, without limitation:

significant competition from other vacation ownership businesses and hospitality and alternative lodging providers;

market and/or consumer perception of vacation ownership companies and the industry in general;

increases in operating and other costs (as a result of inflation or otherwise), including marketing costs, employee compensation and benefits, interest expense and insurance, which may not be offset by price or fee increases in Bluegreen’s business;

Bluegreen’s ability to maintain, enhance or expand, or achieve the benefits achieved from, its marketing arrangements and relationships;

changes in taxes and governmental regulations, including those that influence or set wages, prices, interest rates or construction and maintenance procedures and costs;

the costs and efforts associated with complying with applicable laws and regulations, and the costs and consequences of non-compliance;

risks related to the development or acquisition of resorts and inventory, including delays in, or cancellations of, planned or future resort development or inventory acquisition activities;

shortages of labor or labor disruptions;

the availability and cost of capital necessary for Bluegreen and third-party developers with whom Bluegreen does business to fund investments and capital expenditures and to service debt obligations;

29


Bluegreen’s ability to securitize the receivables that Bluegreen originates in connection with VOI sales;

relationships with and the performance and the financial condition of third-party developers with whom Bluegreen does business;

relationships with the Vacation Club owners and HOAs;

changes in the supply and demand for Bluegreen’s products and services;

lack of security over, or unauthorized access to, customer or Company records;

private resales of VOIs and the sale of VOIs in the secondary market;

the increased presence and effort of “timeshare-exit” firms and their impact on borrower default rates; and

unlawful or deceptive third-party VOI resale, cease and desist, or vacation package sales schemes, and reputational risk associated therewith.

Any of these factors could increase Bluegreen’s costs, limit or reduce the prices Bluegreen is able to charge for its products and services, adversely affect Bluegreen’s ability to develop or acquire new resorts, or otherwise adversely impact Bluegreen’s business, prospects and results.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and the current and uncertain future outlook of the pandemic may continue to have, a significant adverse effect on Bluegreen’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused an unprecedented disruption in the U.S. and global economies and the industries in which Bluegreen operates due to, among other things, government ordered “shelter in place” and “stay at home” orders and advisories, travel restrictions, and restrictions on business operations, including government guidance with respect to travel, public accommodations, social gatherings, and related matters. These disruptions and the reaction of the general public to the pandemic had a significant adverse impact on Bluegreen's financial condition and operations throughout 2020, including, without limitation, due to the temporary closure beginning in March 2020 of all of Bluegreen’s VOI sales centers, its retail marketing operations at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s stores and outlet malls, and its Choice Hotels call transfer program, Bluegreen’s cancellation of existing owner reservations through May 15, 2020 and new prospect guest tours through June 30, 2020, and the temporary closure of certain of Bluegreen’s Club Resorts and Club Associate Resorts in accordance with government mandates and advisories. While operations at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s stores subsequently re-opened, the Choice Hotels call transfer program is close to pre-pandemic volume, all of our VOI sales centers and resorts re-opened (except for one resort and sales center in Surfside, Florida which was closed due to conditions unrelated to the pandemic) and our business and results generally improved during 2021, adverse conditions have continued, as a result of the emergence of new variants such as the Delta variant and Omicron variant which emerged as a variant of concern during the fourth quarter of 2021.

In addition, Bluegreen has historically financed a majority of its sales of VOIs, and accordingly, is subject to the risk of defaults by its customers. Bluegreen continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its default or delinquency rates as it is rapidly changing and highly uncertain. Accordingly, and due to other risks and uncertainties associated with assumptions and changing market conditions, Bluegreen’s allowance for loan losses may not prove to be accurate and may be increased in future periods, which would adversely impact its operating results for those periods.

Further, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in instability and volatility in the financial markets. Bluegreen’s ability to borrow against or sell its VOI notes receivable has historically been a critical factor in its liquidity. If Bluegreen is unable to renew credit facilities or obtain new credit facilities, its business, results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition may be materially, adversely impacted.

Bluegreen’s operations could also be negatively affected further if its employees are quarantined or sickened as a result of exposure to COVID-19, or if they are subject to governmental COVID-19 curfews or “shelter in place” health orders. Measures restricting the ability of employees to come to work may impair Bluegreen’s service or operations, all of which could negatively affect its business.

We hope that general economic conditions and conditions in the travel and leisure industry continue to improve, however the continued future impact of the pandemic and its impact on Bluegreen is uncertain. Various state and local government officials may in the future issue new or revised orders that are different than the ones under which we are

30


currently operating. It is impossible to predict the duration and severity of the pandemic and the potential impact of the pandemic on our business, including our future revenues, net income and other operating results. The overall situation is extremely fluid, and it is impossible to predict the timing of future changes in the situation and what their impact may be on our business. Moreover, we cannot predict whether the COVID-19 pandemic will result in permanent changes to our customers' or general consumer behavior, which may include, without limitation, continued or permanent decreases in discretionary spending and reductions in travel or vacation ownership stays or purchases, each of which would have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Bluegreen’s business and properties are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws, regulations and policies. Changes in these laws, regulations and policies, as well as the cost of complying with new or existing laws, regulations and policies and the imposition of additional taxes on operations, as well as new cell phone technologies that automatically identify or block marketing vendor calls, could adversely affect Bluegreen’s business. Further, jurisdictions are increasingly seeking to identify additional sources of tax revenue and results of audits of Bluegreen’s tax returns or those of its subsidiaries may also have a material adverse impact on its financial condition.

The federal government and the state and local jurisdictions in which Bluegreen operates have enacted extensive regulations that affect the manner in which Bluegreen markets and sells VOIs and conducts its other business operations. In addition, federal, state and local regulators may enact new laws and regulations that may adversely affect Bluegreen’s results or require Bluegreen to modify its business practices substantially. Many states, including Florida and South Carolina, where certain of Bluegreen’s resorts are located, extensively regulate VOI and timeshare-related activities, including the sale of VOIs, the creation and management of resorts, the marketing and sale of properties, the escrow of purchaser funds prior to the completion of construction and closing, the content and use of advertising materials and promotional offers, the delivery of an offering memorandum and the creation and operation of exchange programs and multi-site timeshare plan reservation systems. Moreover, with regard to sales conducted in South Carolina, the closing of real estate and mortgage loan transactions must be conducted under the supervision of an attorney licensed in South Carolina and otherwise in accordance with South Carolina’s Timesharing Transaction Procedures Act.

Most states also have other laws that are applicable to Bluegreen’s activities, such as timeshare project registration laws, real estate licensure laws, mortgage licensure laws, sellers of travel licensure laws, anti-fraud laws, consumer protection laws, telemarketing laws, prize, gift and sweepstakes laws, and consumer credit laws. Bluegreen’s management of, and dealings with, HOAs, including its purchase of defaulted inventory from HOAs in connection with its secondary market sales, are also subject to state laws and resort rules and regulations, including those with respect to the establishment of budgets and expenditures, rule-making, and the imposition of maintenance assessments.

Bluegreen is authorized to market and sell VOIs in all locations at which its marketing and sales activities are conducted. If Bluegreen’s agents or employees violate applicable regulations or licensing requirements, their acts or omissions could cause the states where the violations occurred to revoke or refuse to renew Bluegreen’s licenses, render its sales contracts void or voidable, or impose fines on Bluegreen based on past activities.

In addition, the federal government and the state and local jurisdictions in which Bluegreen conducts business have generally enacted extensive regulations relating to direct marketing and telemarketing, including the federal government’s national “do not call” list, the making of marketing and related calls to cell phone users, a significant development in light of cell phone usage becoming the primary method of communication, the Telemarketing Sales Rule, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. These regulations, as well as international data protection laws, have impacted Bluegreen’s marketing of VOIs. While Bluegreen has taken steps designed to achieve compliance with applicable regulations, these steps are expected to continue to increase Bluegreen’s marketing costs and may not prevent failures in compliance. Additionally, adoption of new state or federal laws regulating marketing and solicitation, new case law, and changes to existing laws, could adversely affect current or planned marketing activities and cause Bluegreen to change its marketing strategy. If this occurs, Bluegreen may not be able to develop adequate alternative marketing strategies, which could affect the amount and timing of its VOI sales. Bluegreen cannot predict the impact that these legislative initiatives or any other legislative measures that may be proposed or enacted in the future may have on its marketing strategies and results. Further, from time to time, complaints are filed against Bluegreen by individuals claiming that they received calls in violation of applicable regulations. See Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Company’s audited consolidated financial

31


statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Technology advances, including new cellphone technologies that automatically identify or block marketing vendor calls, may also adversely impact Bluegreen’s telemarketing efforts or otherwise cause Bluegreen to change its marketing strategy.

Most states have taxed VOIs as real estate, imposing property taxes that are billed to the respective HOAs that maintain the related resorts, and have not sought to impose sales tax upon the sale of the VOI or accommodations tax upon the use of the VOI. From time to time, however, various states have attempted to promulgate new laws or apply existing laws impacting the taxation of VOIs to require that sales or accommodations taxes be collected. Should new state or local laws be implemented or interpreted to impose sales or accommodations taxes on VOIs, Bluegreen’s business could be materially adversely affected.

From time to time in the ordinary course of Bluegreen’s business, consumers file complaints against Bluegreen. Bluegreen may be required to incur significant costs to resolve these complaints or enter into consents with regulators regarding its activities, including requiring the refund of all or a portion of the purchase price paid by the customer for the VOI. If Bluegreen is found to have not complied with applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, such violations may have adverse implications on Bluegreen, including rendering its VOI sales contracts void or voidable, negative publicity, potential litigation and regulatory fines or other sanctions. The expense, negative publicity and potential sanctions associated with any failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations could have a material adverse effect on Bluegreen’s business, results of operations or financial position.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Accessibility Guidelines promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “ADA”), all public accommodations, including Bluegreen’s properties, must meet various federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Compliance with the ADA’s requirements could require removal of access barriers or other renovations, and non-compliance could result in the imposition of fines or penalties, or awards of damages, against Bluegreen. Bluegreen’s properties are also subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements, such as state and local fire and life safety requirements. Further, various laws govern Bluegreen’s resort management activities, including laws and regulations regarding community association management, public lodging, food and beverage services, liquor licensing, labor, employment, health care, health and safety, accessibility, discrimination, immigration, and the environment (including climate change).

Bluegreen’s lending activities are also subject to a number of laws and regulations, including laws and regulations related to consumer loans, retail installment contracts, mortgage lending, fair debt collection and credit reporting practices, consumer collection practices, contacting debtors by telephone, mortgage disclosure, lender licenses and money laundering. The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, created under the Dodd-Frank Act, has emphasized new regulatory focus on areas of Bluegreen’s business such as consumer mortgage servicing and debt collection, credit reporting and consumer financial disclosures, all of which affect the manner in which Bluegreen may provide financing to the purchasers of its VOIs and conduct its lending and loan servicing operations.

The vacation ownership and hospitality industries are highly competitive, and Bluegreen may not be able to compete successfully.

Bluegreen competes with various high profile and well-established operators, many of which have greater liquidity and financial resources than Bluegreen. Many of the world’s most recognized lodging, hospitality and entertainment companies develop and sell timeshare units or VOIs in resort properties. Bluegreen also competes with numerous smaller owners and operators of vacation ownership resorts and also face competition from alternative lodging options available to consumers through both traditional methods of delivery as well as new web portals and applications, including private rentals of homes, apartments or condominium units, which have increased in popularity in recent years. Bluegreen’s ability to remain competitive and to attract and retain customers depends on its customers’ satisfaction with Bluegreen’s products and services as well as on distinguishing the quality, value, and efficiency of Bluegreen’s products and services from those offered by its competitors. Customer dissatisfaction with experiences at Bluegreen’s resorts or otherwise as a Vacation Club owner, including due to an inability to use points for desired stays, could result in negative publicity and/or a decrease in sales, or otherwise adversely impact Bluegreen’s ability to successfully compete in the vacation ownership and hospitality industries. Bluegreen may not be able to timely and sufficiently identify and remediate the cause of customer dissatisfaction. Any of these events could materially and adversely impact Bluegreen’s operating results and financial condition.

32


There are risks associated with Bluegreen’s strategic partnerships and arrangements.

Bluegreen generates a significant portion of its new sales prospects and leads through its arrangements with various third parties, including Bass Pro and Choice Hotels, and are dependent upon these relationships in order to acquire new customers. VOI sales to prospects and leads generated by Bluegreen’s marketing arrangement with Bass Pro accounted for approximately 19% and 12% of Bluegreen’s VOI sales volume during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. If Bluegreen’s agreement with Bass Pro, or any other significant marketing arrangement, does not generate a sufficient number of prospects and leads or is terminated or not renewed, limited or changed in a manner which adversely affects Bluegreen’s operations and not replaced by a comparable source of sales prospects and leads, Bluegreen may not be able to market and sell its products and services at current sales levels, at anticipated levels or at levels required in order to offset the costs associated with its marketing efforts. In addition, Bluegreen’s business relationship with Bass Pro under the revised terms of the agreement entered into in 2019 may not be as profitable as under the prior terms, or at all, or otherwise result in the benefits anticipated.

Bluegreen’s business and results may be impacted if financing is not available on favorable terms, or at all.

In connection with VOI sales, Bluegreen generally offers financing to the purchaser of up to 90% of the purchase price of the VOI. However, Bluegreen incurs selling, marketing and administrative cash expenses prior to and concurrent with the sale. These costs, along with the cost of the underlying VOI, generally exceed the down payment received at the time of the sale. Accordingly, Bluegreen’s ability to borrow against or sell its notes receivable has historically been a critical factor in Bluegreen’s continued liquidity, and Bluegreen therefore has depended on funds from its credit facilities and securitization transactions to finance its operations. If Bluegreen’s pledged receivables facilities terminate or expire and Bluegreen is unable to extend them or replace them with comparable facilities, or if Bluegreen is unable to continue to participate in securitization-type transactions and “warehouse” facilities on acceptable terms, its liquidity, cash flow and profitability would be materially and adversely affected. Credit market disruptions have in the past adversely impacted the willingness of banks and other finance companies to provide “warehouse” lines of credit for VOI notes receivable and resulted from time to time in the term securitization market being unavailable. Future credit market disruptions may have similar effects or otherwise make obtaining additional and replacement external sources of liquidity more difficult and more costly, if available at all.

In addition, financing for real estate acquisition and development and the capital markets for corporate debt is cyclical. While Bluegreen has increased its focus on encouraging higher down payments in connection with sales, there is no assurance that this initiative will enhance its financial position or otherwise be successful in the long-term.

Bluegreen anticipates that it will continue to seek and use external sources of liquidity, including borrowings under its existing credit facilities, under credit facilities that Bluegreen may obtain in the future, under securitizations in which Bluegreen may participate in the future or pursuant to other borrowing arrangements, to:

support Bluegreen’s operations and, subject to declaration by its board of directors and contractual limitations, including limitations contained in its credit facilities, pay dividends;

finance the acquisition and development of VOI inventory or property and equipment; 

finance a substantial percentage of its sales; and

satisfy its debt and other obligations.

Bluegreen’s ability to service or refinance its indebtedness or to obtain additional financing (including Bluegreen’s ability to consummate future term securitizations) depends on the credit markets and on Bluegreen’s future performance, which is subject to a number of factors, including the success of its business, its results of operations, leverage, financial condition and business prospects, prevailing interest rates, general economic conditions, the performance of its receivables portfolio, and perceptions about the vacation ownership and real estate industries.

As of December 31, 2021, Bluegreen had $7.5 million of indebtedness scheduled to become due during 2022. Historically, much of its debt has been renewed or refinanced in the ordinary course of business. However, there is no assurance that Bluegreen will be able to renew, extend or refinance all or any portion of its outstanding debt or otherwise obtain sufficient external sources of liquidity, in each case, on attractive terms, or at all. If Bluegreen is unable to do so, its liquidity and financial condition may be materially, adversely impacted.

33


In addition, Bluegreen has and intends to continue to enter into arrangements with third-party developers pursuant to which Bluegreen sells their VOI inventory for a fee. These arrangements enable Bluegreen to generate fees from the marketing and sales services Bluegreen provides, and in certain cases from its provision of management services, without requiring Bluegreen to fund development and acquisition costs. If these third-party developers are not able to obtain or maintain financing, Bluegreen may not be in a position to enter into these fee-based arrangements or have access to VOI inventory when anticipated, which would adversely impact Bluegreen’s results.

Bluegreen would suffer substantial losses and its liquidity position could be adversely impacted if an increasing number of customers to whom Bluegreen provides financing default on its obligations.

Adverse conditions in the mortgage industry, including credit availability, borrowers’ financial profiles, prepayment rates and other factors, including the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors outside of Bluegreen’s control may increase the default rates Bluegreen experiences or otherwise negatively impact the performance of its notes receivable. In addition, in recent years, third parties have been discouraging certain borrowers from staying current on Bluegreen’s note payments. Although in many cases Bluegreen may have recourse against a buyer for the unpaid purchase price, certain states have laws that limit Bluegreen’s ability to recover personal judgments against customers who have defaulted on Bluegreen’s loans or Bluegreen may determine that the cost of doing so may not be justified. Historically, Bluegreen had generally not pursued such recourse against its customers. In the case of Bluegreen’s notes receivable secured by VOIs, if Bluegreen is unable to collect the defaulted amount due, Bluegreen traditionally terminated the customer’s interest in the Vacation Club and then remarketed the recovered VOI. Irrespective of its remedy in the event of a default, Bluegreen cannot recover the marketing, selling and administrative costs associated with the original sale and such costs generally exceed the cash received by Bluegreen from the buyer at the time of the sale. In addition, Bluegreen will need to incur such costs again in order to resell the VOI. Bluegreen updates its estimates of such future losses each quarter, and consequently, the charge against sales in a particular period may be impacted, favorably or unfavorably, by a change in expected losses related to notes originated in prior periods. In addition, defaults may cause buyers of, or lenders whose loans are secured by, Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable to reduce the amount of availability or advance rates under receivables purchase and credit facilities, or result in an increase in the interest costs associated with such facilities. In such an event, the cost of financing may increase and Bluegreen may not be able to secure replacement or alternative financing on terms acceptable to Bluegreen, if at all, which would adversely affect Bluegreen’s earnings, financial position and liquidity.

Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable financing facilities could be adversely affected if a particular VOI note receivable pool fails to meet certain performance ratios, which could occur if the default rate or other credit metrics of the underlying VOI notes receivable deteriorate. In addition, if Bluegreen offers financing to purchasers of VOIs with terms longer than those generally offered in the industry, Bluegreen may not be able to securitize those VOI financing receivables. Bluegreen’s ability to sell securities backed by its VOI notes receivable depends on the continued ability and willingness of capital market participants to invest in such securities. Asset-backed securities issued in its term securitization transactions could be downgraded by credit agencies in the future. If a downgrade occurs, Bluegreen’s ability to complete other securitization transactions on acceptable terms or at all could be jeopardized, and it could be forced to rely on other potentially more expensive and less attractive funding sources, to the extent available. Similarly, if other operators of vacation ownership products were to experience significant financial difficulties, or if the vacation ownership industry as a whole were to contract, Bluegreen could experience difficulty in securing funding on acceptable terms. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could adversely impact Bluegreen’s business and results, including, without limitation, by reducing the amount of financing Bluegreen is able to provide to VOI purchasers, which in turn may result in a decrease in VOI sales. The COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on its VOI notes receivable portfolio, which resulted in an increase in Bluegreen’s allowance for loan losses in 2020 and may result in additional increases or other adverse impacts in the future.

In addition, under the terms of Bluegreen’s pledged and receivable sale facilities, Bluegreen may be required, under certain circumstances, to replace receivables or to pay down the loan to within permitted loan-to-value ratios. Additionally, the terms of Bluegreen’s securitization transactions require it to repurchase or replace loans in the event of a breach of any of the representations and warranties Bluegreen made at the time it sold the receivables. These agreements also often include terms providing for substantially all of its cash flow from Bluegreen’s retained interest in the receivable portfolios sold to be paid to the parties who purchased the receivables from Bluegreen in the event

34


of defaults or delinquencies by customers in excess of stated thresholds, or if other performance thresholds are not met.

The ratings of third-party rating agencies could adversely impact Bluegreen’s ability to obtain, renew or extend credit facilities, or otherwise raise funds.

Rating agencies from time to time review prior specific transaction ratings in light of tightened ratings criteria. Further, specific securitization transactions are reviewed by third-party rating agencies. If rating agencies were to downgrade Bluegreen’s original ratings on certain bond classes in Bluegreen’s securitizations, holders of such bonds may be required to sell bonds in the marketplace, and such sales could occur at a discount, which could impact the perceived value of the bonds and Bluegreen’s ability to sell future bonds on favorable terms or at all. While Bluegreen is not aware of any reasonably likely downgrades to the ratings of bond classes in its securitizations, such ratings changes can occur without advance notice.

Bluegreen’s future success depends on its ability to market Bluegreen’s products and services successfully and efficiently, and Bluegreen’s marketing expenses have increased and may continue to increase in the future.

As previously described, Bluegreen competes for customers with hotel and resort properties, other vacation ownership resorts and alternative lodging options, including private rentals of homes, apartments or condominium units. The identification of sales prospects and leads, and the marketing of Bluegreen’s products and services to them are essential to Bluegreen’s success. Bluegreen incurs expenses associated with marketing programs in advance of the closing of sales. If Bluegreen’s lead identification and marketing efforts do not yield enough leads or Bluegreen is unable to successfully convert sales leads to sales, Bluegreen may be unable to recover the expense of its marketing programs and systems and its business, operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected. In addition, while sales to existing owners have increased recently, Bluegreen also continues to focus its marketing efforts on selling to new customers, which typically involves a relatively higher marketing cost compared to sales to existing owners. These efforts may result in increases in Bluegreen’s sales and marketing expenses. If Bluegreen is not successful in offsetting the cost increase with greater sales revenue, its operating results and financial condition would be adversely impacted. In addition, Bluegreen’s marketing efforts are subject to the risk of changing consumer behavior. Changes in consumer behavior may adversely impact the effectiveness of marketing efforts and strategies which Bluegreen has in place and it may not be able to timely and effectively respond to such changes. In addition, Bluegreen may not be able to continue to increase or maintain its level of sales to existing owners.

If Bluegreen is unable to develop or acquire VOI inventory or enter into and maintain fee-based service agreements or other arrangements to source VOI inventory, its business and results would be adversely impacted.

In addition to developed VOI sales, Bluegreen sources VOIs as part of its capital-light business strategy through fee-based service agreements with third-party developers and through JIT and secondary market arrangements. If Bluegreen is unable to develop or acquire resorts at the levels or in the time frames anticipated, or are unsuccessful in entering into agreements with third-party developers or others to source VOI inventory in connection with its capital-light business strategy, Bluegreen may experience a decline in VOI supply or an increase in VOI cost, which could have a negative impact on its results and operations and/or a decrease in sales. In addition, a decline in VOI supply and sales could result in a decrease in financing revenue that is generated by VOI sales and fee and rental revenue that is generated by Bluegreen’s management services.

Bluegreen’s fee-based sales and marketing arrangements, and JIT and secondary market sales activities, may not be successful or profitable, which would have an adverse impact on its results of operations and financial condition.

Bluegreen offers fee-based marketing, sales, resort management and other services to third-party developers, which Bluegreen believes enables it to leverage its expertise in sales and marketing, resort management, mortgage servicing, construction management and title services. Bluegreen intends to continue these activities as such activities generally produce positive cash flow and typically require less capital investment than its traditional vacation ownership business. Bluegreen has attempted to structure these activities to cover its costs and generate a profit. Sales of third-party developers’ VOIs must generate sufficient cash to comply with the terms of Bluegreen’s financing obligations as well as to pay the fees or commissions due to Bluegreen. The third-party developers may not be able to obtain or maintain financing necessary to meet Bluegreen’s requirements, which could impact its ability to sell the developers’

35


inventory. While Bluegreen could attempt to utilize other arrangements, including JIT arrangements, where Bluegreen would utilize its receivable credit facilities in order to provide fee-based marketing and sales services, this would reduce the credit otherwise available to Bluegreen and impact profitability. When Bluegreen performs fee-based sales and marketing services, it sells VOIs in resorts developed by third parties as an interest in the Vacation Club. This subjects Bluegreen to a number of risks typically associated with selling products developed by others under its own brand name, including litigation risks. Further, these arrangements may expose Bluegreen to additional risk as Bluegreen does not control development activities or timing of development completion. If third parties with whom it enters into agreements are not able to fulfill their obligations to Bluegreen, the inventory Bluegreen expects to acquire or market and sell on their behalf may not be available when expected or at all, or may not otherwise meet agreed-upon specifications. Further, if these third parties do not perform as expected and Bluegreen does not have access to the expected inventory or obtain access to inventory from alternative sources on a timely basis, its ability to maintain or increase sales levels would be adversely impacted.

Bluegreen also sells VOI inventory through secondary market arrangements which require low levels of capital deployment. In connection with secondary market sales, Bluegreen acquires VOI inventory from Bluegreen’s resorts’ HOAs, generally on a non-committed basis, in close proximity to the timing of when it intends to sell such VOIs. VOIs purchased from HOAs are typically obtained by the HOAs through foreclosure in connection with maintenance fee defaults and are generally acquired by Bluegreen at a discount. While Bluegreen intends to maintain its secondary market sales efforts in the future, it may not be successful in doing so, and these efforts may not result in achieving anticipated results. Further Bluegreen’s secondary market sales activities may subject it to negative publicity, which could adversely impact its reputation and business.

Bluegreen is subject to certain risks associated with its management of resort properties.

Through Bluegreen’s management of resorts and ownership of VOIs, Bluegreen is subject to certain risks related to the physical condition and operation of the managed resort properties in its network, including:

the presence of construction or repair defects or other structural or building damage at any of these resorts, or resorts Bluegreen may develop in the future;

any noncompliance with or liabilities under applicable environmental, health or safety regulations or requirements or building permit requirements relating to these resorts;

any costs or damage to physical assets or interruption of access to physical assets or operations resulting from an outbreak of contagious diseases, such as the COVID-19 outbreak, or from natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, floods and windstorms, which may increase in frequency or severity due to climate change or other factors; and

claims by employees, members and their guests for injuries sustained on these resort properties.

Some of these risks may be more significant in connection with the properties for which Bluegreen recently acquired management agreements, particularly any management agreements which were acquired from operators in financial distress. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs as a result of any of the foregoing, Bluegreen may be forced to incur significant costs.

Additionally, a number of U.S. federal, state and local laws, including the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 and the ADA, impose requirements related to access to and use by disabled persons of a variety of public accommodations and facilities. A determination that Bluegreen managed resorts are subject to, and that they are not in compliance with, these accessibility laws could result in a judicial order requiring compliance, imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. If one of its managed resorts was required to make significant improvements as a result of non-compliance with these accessibility laws, assessments might be needed to fund such improvements, which additional costs may cause Bluegreen’s VOI owners to default on its consumer loans from Bluegreen or cease making required maintenance fee or assessment payments. Also, to the extent that Bluegreen holds interests in a particular resort, Bluegreen would be responsible for its pro rata share of the costs of such improvements. In addition, any new legislation may impose further burdens or restrictions on property owners with respect to access by disabled persons.

The resort properties that Bluegreen manages are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, natural resources and worker health and safety, including laws and regulations governing and creating liability relating to the management, storage and disposal of hazardous substances and other

36


regulated materials and the cleanup of contaminated sites. The resorts are also subject to various environmental laws and regulations that govern certain aspects of Bluegreen’s ongoing operations. These laws and regulations control such things as the nature and volume of wastewater discharges, quality of water supply and waste management practices. To the extent that Bluegreen holds interests in a particular resort, Bluegreen would be responsible for its pro rata share of losses sustained by such resort as a result of a violation of any such laws and regulations.

In addition, Bluegreen may from time to time have disagreements with VOI owners and HOAs relating to the management services it provides. Failure to resolve such disagreements may result in litigation and additional costs. Further, disagreements with HOAs could also result in the loss of management contracts, which would negatively affect its revenue and results, and may also have an adverse impact on its ability to generate sales from existing VOI owners.

Bluegreen’s management contracts are typically structured as “cost-plus,” with an initial term of three years and automatic one year renewals. If a management contract is terminated or not renewed on favorable terms or is renegotiated in a manner adverse to Bluegreen, its revenue and cash flows would be adversely affected.

Bluegreen’s results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely impacted if Bluegreen does not continue to participate in exchange networks and other strategic alliances with third parties or if its customers are not satisfied with the networks in which Bluegreen participates or its strategic alliances.

Bluegreen believes that its participation in exchange networks and other strategic alliances and its Traveler Plus program make ownership of its VOIs more attractive by providing owners with the ability to take advantage of vacation experiences in addition to stays at its resorts. Bluegreen’s participation in the RCI exchange network allows Vacation Club owners to use their points to stay at over 4,200 participating resorts, based upon availability and the payment of a variable exchange fee. During the year ended December 31, 2021, approximately 9% of Vacation Club owners utilized the RCI exchange network for a stay of two or more nights. Bluegreen also has an exclusive strategic arrangement with Choice Hotels pursuant to which, subject to payments and conditions, certain of its resorts have been branded as part of Choice Hotels’ Ascend Hotel Collection. Vacation Club owners can convert their Vacation Club points into Choice Privileges points. Choice Privileges points can be used for stays at Choice Hotels’ properties. For a nominal annual fee and transactional fees, Vacation Club owners may also participate in Bluegreen’s Traveler Plus program, which enables them to use points to access an additional 46 direct exchange resorts and for other vacation experiences such as cruises. In addition, Traveler Plus members can directly use their Vacation Club points for stays at Choice Hotels’ Ascend Hotel Collection properties, a network of historic and boutique hotels in the United States, Canada, Scandinavia and Latin America. Bluegreen may not be able to or desire to continue to participate in the RCI or direct exchange networks in the future or maintain or extend its other marketing and strategic networks, alliances and relationships. In addition, these networks, alliances and relationships, and Bluegreen’s Traveler Plus program, may not continue to operate effectively, and Bluegreen’s customers may not be satisfied with them. In addition, Bluegreen may not be successful in identifying or entering into new strategic relationships in the future. If any of these events should occur, Bluegreen’s results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely impacted.

If maintenance fees at Bluegreen’s resorts and/or Vacation Club dues are required to be increased, Bluegreen’s product could become less attractive, defaults could increase and its business could be harmed.

The maintenance fees, special assessments and Vacation Club dues that are levied by HOAs and the Vacation Club on VOI owners may increase as the costs to maintain and refurbish properties, and to keep properties in compliance with Bluegreen’s standards and applicable regulations, increase. Increases in such fees, assessments or dues could negatively affect customer satisfaction with its Vacation Club or otherwise adversely impact VOI sales to both new customers and existing VOI owners or could contribute to additional defaults.

Bluegreen’s strategic transactions and relationships may not be successful and may divert its management’s attention and consume significant resources.

Bluegreen intends to continue its strategy of selectively pursuing complementary strategic transactions and relationships. Bluegreen may also purchase management contracts, including from resort operators facing financial distress, and purchase VOI inventory at resorts that it does not manage, with the goal of acquiring sufficient VOI

37


ownership at such a resort to become the manager of that resort. The successful execution of this strategy will depend on Bluegreen’s ability to identify and enter into the agreements necessary to take advantage of these potential opportunities, and to obtain any necessary financing. Bluegreen may not be able to do so successfully. In addition, Bluegreen’s management may be required to devote substantial time and resources to pursue these opportunities, which may divert their attention away from Bluegreen’s other operations.

Acquisitions and new strategic relationships involve numerous additional risks, including: (i) difficulty in integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired business or assets; (ii) potential disruption of Bluegreen’s ongoing business and the distraction of management from its day-to-day operations; (iii) difficulty entering markets and relationships in which Bluegreen has limited or no prior experience and in which competitors have a stronger market position; (iv) difficulty maintaining the quality of services that Bluegreen historically provided across new acquisitions; (v) potential legal and financial responsibility for liabilities of the acquired business or assets; (vi) potential overpayment in connection with transactions; (vii) increased expenses associated with transactions or an acquisition and amortizing any acquired intangible assets; (viii) risks associated with any debt incurred in connection with the financing of transaction; and (ix) challenges in implementing uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies throughout an acquired business.

Bluegreen is dependent on the managers of resorts not managed, owned or operated by Bluegreen to ensure that those properties meet its customers’ expectations.

In addition to stays at Bluegreen’s resorts, Vacation Club owners have access to other resorts and hotels as a result of Bluegreen’s participation in exchange programs and its other strategic alliances. Accordingly, Vacation Club owners have access to resorts that Bluegreen does not manage, own or operate. If those resorts are not maintained in a manner consistent with Bluegreen’s standards of quality or its Vacation Club owners are otherwise dissatisfied with those resorts, Bluegreen may be subject to customer complaints and its reputation and brand could be damaged. In addition, Bluegreen’s agreements with these resorts or their owners may expire, be terminated or not be renewed, or may be renegotiated in a manner adverse to Bluegreen, and Bluegreen may be unable to enter into new agreements that provide Vacation Club owners with equivalent access to additional resorts, any or all of which could materially adversely impact its business, operating results and financial condition.

The resale market for VOIs could adversely affect Bluegreen’s business.

Bluegreen believes that resales of VOIs in the secondary market generally are made at net sales prices below the original customer purchase prices. The relatively lower sales prices are partly attributable to the high marketing and sales costs associated with the initial sales of such VOIs. Accordingly, the initial purchase price of a VOI may be less attractive to prospective buyers and Bluegreen may compete with buyers who seek to resell their VOIs. While VOI resale clearing houses or brokers currently do not have a material impact on Bluegreen’s business, the availability of resale VOIs at lower prices, particularly if an organized and liquid secondary market develops, could adversely affect Bluegreen’s level of sales and sales prices, which in turn would adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Bluegreen’s insurance policies do not cover all potential losses.

Bluegreen maintains insurance coverage for liability, property and other risks with respect to its operations and activities. While Bluegreen has comprehensive property and liability insurance policies with coverage features and insured limits that it believes are customary, some losses cannot be insured against and market forces beyond Bluegreen’s control may limit the scope of the insurance coverage it can obtain or its ability to obtain coverage at reasonable rates. The cost of insurance may increase and Bluegreen’s coverage levels may decrease, which may affect its ability to maintain customary insurance coverage and deductibles at acceptable costs.

There is a limit as well as various sub-limits on the amount of insurance proceeds Bluegreen will receive in excess of applicable deductibles. If an insurable event occurs that affects more than one of its properties, the claims from each affected property may be considered together to determine whether the individual occurrence limit, annual aggregate limit or sub-limits, depending on the type of claim, have been reached. If the limits or sub-limits are exceeded, each affected property may only receive a proportional share of the amount of insurance proceeds provided for under the policy. Further, certain types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and floods,

38


terrorist acts, and certain environmental matters, may be outside the general coverage limits of Bluegreen’s policies, subject to large deductibles, deemed uninsurable or too cost-prohibitive to justify insuring against. In addition, in the event of a substantial loss, the insurance coverage Bluegreen carries may not be sufficient to pay the full market value or replacement cost of the affected resort or in some cases may not provide a recovery for any part of a loss. As a result, Bluegreen could lose some or all of the capital it has invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future marketing, sales or revenue opportunities from the property. Further, Bluegreen could remain obligated under guarantees or other financial obligations related to the property despite the loss of product inventory, and its VOI owners could be required to contribute toward deductibles to help cover losses.

Bluegreen’s business may be adversely impacted by negative publicity, including information spread through social media. 

The proliferation and global reach of social media continues to expand rapidly and could cause us to suffer reputational harm. The continuing evolution of social media presents new challenges and requires Bluegreen to keep pace with new developments, technology and trends. Negative posts or comments about Bluegreen, the properties it manages or its brands on any social networking or user-generated review website, including travel and vacation property websites, could affect consumer opinions of Bluegreen and its products, and Bluegreen cannot guarantee that it will timely or adequately redress such instances. 

Risks Related to the Company’s Indebtedness

Changes to and replacement of the LIBOR benchmark interest rate could adversely affect the results of operations and liquidity.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the regulatory authority over LIBOR) stated they will plan for a phase out of regulatory oversight of LIBOR interest rate indices after 2021 to allow for an orderly transition to an alternate reference rate. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) has proposed that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) is the rate that represents best practice as the alternative to LIBOR for promissory notes or other contracts that are currently indexed to LIBOR. The ARRC has proposed a market transition plan to SOFR from LIBOR and organizations are currently working on transition plans as it relates to derivatives and cash markets exposed to LIBOR. Although VOIs notes receivable are not indexed to LIBOR, as of December 31, 2021, the Company had $170.9 million of LIBOR indexed junior subordinated debentures, $74.8 million of LIBOR indexed receivable-backed notes payable and lines of credit and $98.1 million of LIBOR indexed lines of credit and notes payable (which are not receivable-backed) maturing in 2022 and after.  In February 2022, the Company amended and restated $98.1 million of its LIBOR indexed lines of credit and notes payable to bear interest at rate of term SOFR plus 1.75-2.50% and a 0.50%- 0.10% credit spread adjustment. The Company is evaluating the potential impact that the eventual replacement of the LIBOR benchmark interest rate could have on its results of operations and liquidity.

The Company’s existing indebtedness, or indebtedness that it may incur in the future, could adversely impact its financial condition and results of operations, and the terms of its indebtedness may limit its activities.

The Company’s level of debt and debt service requirements have several important effects on its operations. Significant debt service cash requirements reduce the funds available for operations and future business opportunities and increase the vulnerability of the Company to adverse economic and industry conditions, as well as conditions in the credit markets generally. In addition, the Company’s leverage position increases its vulnerability to economic and competitive pressures and may limit funds available for acquisitions, working capital, capital expenditures, dividends, and other general corporate purposes. If new debt or other liabilities are added to the Company’s current debt levels, the related risks that it faces could intensify. Further, the financial covenants and other restrictions contained in indentures, credit agreements and other agreements relating to the Company’s indebtedness require it to meet certain financial tests and may limit its ability to, among other things, pay dividends, borrow additional funds, dispose of assets or make investments. If the Company’s fails to comply with the terms of its debt instruments, such debt may become due and payable immediately, which would have a material adverse impact on its cash position and financial condition. Significant resources may be required to monitor compliance with debt instruments (from a quantitative and qualitative perspective), and such monitoring efforts may not be effective in all cases. The Company may also incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future.

39


To the extent inflationary trends, tightened credit markets or other factors affect interest rates, the Company’s debt service costs may increase. If interest rates increased one percentage point, the effect on interest expense related to the Company’s variable-rate debt would be an annual increase of $2.8 million, based on balances as of December 31, 2021.

The Company or its subsidiaries may incur additional indebtedness.



The Company and its subsidiaries have in the past and may in the future incur significant amounts of debt. Further, additional indebtedness could have important effects on the Company, including that debt service requirements will reduce cash available for operations, future investment and acquisition opportunities and payments of dividends, if any, and that increased leverage could impact the Company’s liquidity and increase its vulnerability to adverse economic or market conditions. Additionally, agreements relating to additional indebtedness could contain financial covenants and other restrictions limiting the Company’s operations and its ability to pay dividends, borrow additional funds or acquire or dispose of assets, and expose the Company to the risks of being in default of such covenants.

Risks Related to the Real Estate Industry and Real Estate Development

The Company is subject to the risks of the real estate market and the risks associated with real estate development, including a decline in real estate values and a deterioration of other conditions relating to the real estate market and real estate development.

Real estate markets are cyclical in nature and highly sensitive to changes in national and regional economic conditions, including:

levels of unemployment;

levels of discretionary disposable income;

levels of consumer confidence;

the availability of financing;

overbuilding or decreases in demand;

interest rates; and

federal, state and local taxation methods.

A deterioration in general economic conditions or in the real estate market would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company expects to seek to acquire more real estate inventory in the future. The availability of land for development of resort properties at favorable prices will be critical to the Company’s profitability and the ability to cover its significant selling, general and administrative expenses, cost of capital and other expenses. If the Company is unable to acquire such land or resort properties at a favorable cost, the Company’s results of operations may be materially, adversely impacted. The profitability of the Company’s real estate development activities is also impacted by the cost of construction, including the supply of good, costs of materials and labor and other services. Should the cost of construction materials and services rise, the ultimate cost of Bluegreen’s future resorts inventory when developed could increase and have a material, adverse impact on its results of operations. The Company is also exposed to other risks associated with development activities, including, without limitation:

adverse conditions in the capital markets may limit its ability to raise capital for completion of projects or for development of future properties;

construction delays, zoning and other local, state or federal governmental approvals, cost overruns, lender financial defaults, or natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, volcanic eruptions and oil spills, increasing overall construction costs, affecting timing of project completion or resulting in project cancellations;

any liability or alleged liability or resulting delays associated with latent defects in design or construction of projects developed or constructed in the future adversely affecting its business, financial condition and reputation;

40


failure by third-party contractors to perform for any reason, exposing it to operational, reputational and financial harm; and

the existence of any title defects in properties it acquires.

In addition, the third-party developers from whom Bluegreen sources VOI inventory are exposed to such development-related risks and, therefore, the occurrence of such risks may adversely impact Bluegreen’s ability to acquire VOI inventory from them when expected or at all.

Environmental liabilities, including claims with respect to mold or hazardous or toxic substances, could have a material adverse impact the Company’s financial condition and operating results.

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, as well as common law, the Company may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances, including mold, located on, in or emanating from property that it owns, leases or operates, as well as related costs of investigation and property damage at such property. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether Bluegreen knew of, or were responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic substances. The presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such substances, may adversely affect the Company’s ability to sell or lease its property or to borrow money using such property or receivables generated from the sale of such property as collateral. Noncompliance with environmental, health or safety requirements may require Bluegreen to cease or alter operations at one or more of its properties. Further, the Company may be subject to common law claims by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from violations of environmental regulations or from contamination associated with one or more of its properties.

Risks Related to Technology, Privacy and Intellectual Property Rights

Failure to maintain the integrity of internal or customer data could result in faulty business decisions or operational inefficiencies, damage the Company’s reputation and/or subject the Company to costs, fines or lawsuits.

Bluegreen collects and retains large volumes of internal and customer data, including social security numbers, credit card numbers and other personally identifiable information of its customers in various internal information systems and information systems of its service providers. Bluegreen also maintains personally identifiable information about its employees. The integrity and protection of that customer, employee and company data is critical to Bluegreen. Bluegreen could make faulty decisions if that data is inaccurate or incomplete. Bluegreen’s customers and employees also have a high expectation that Bluegreen and its service providers will adequately protect their personal information. The regulatory environment as well as the requirements imposed on Bluegreen by the payment card industry surrounding information, security and privacy is also increasingly demanding, in both the United States and other jurisdictions in which Bluegreen operates. Bluegreen’s systems may be unable to satisfy changing regulatory and payment card industry requirements and employee and customer expectations, or may require significant additional investments or time in order to do so.

 

Bluegreen’s information systems and records, including those Bluegreen maintains with its service providers, may be subject to security breaches, cyber-attacks, system failures, viruses, operator error or inadvertent releases of data. A significant theft, loss, or fraudulent use of customer, employee or company data maintained by Bluegreen or by a service provider could adversely impact its reputation and could result in remedial and other expenses, fines or litigation. A breach in the security of Bluegreen’s information systems or those of its service providers could lead to an interruption in the operation of its systems, resulting in operational inefficiencies and a loss of profits.

The cost involved in updating technology may be significant, and the failure to keep pace with developments in technology could impair Bluegreen’s operations or competitive position.

The vacation ownership and hospitality industries require the utilization of technology and systems, including technology utilized for sales and marketing, mortgage servicing, property management, brand assurance and compliance, and reservation systems. This technology requires continuous updating and refinements, including technology required to remain competitive and to comply with the legal requirements such as privacy regulations and requirements established by third parties. Bluegreen is taking steps to update its information technology platform,

41


which has required, and is likely to continue to require, significant capital expenditures. Older systems which have not yet been updated may increase the risk of operational inefficiencies, financial loss and non-compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements and it may not be successful in updating such systems in the time frame or at the cost anticipated. Further, as a result of the rapidly changing technological environment, systems which Bluegreen has put in place or expect to put in place in the near term may become outdated requiring new technology, and it may not be able to replace those systems as quickly as its competition or within budgeted costs and time frames. Further, Bluegreen may not achieve the benefits that may have been anticipated from any new technology or system.

In addition, conversions to new information technology systems require effective change management processes and may result in cost overruns, delays or business interruptions. If Bluegreen’s information technology systems are disrupted, become obsolete or do not adequately support its strategic, operational or compliance needs, Bluegreen’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows may be adversely affected.

Bluegreen’s intellectual property rights, and the intellectual property rights of its business partners, are valuable, and the failure to protect those rights could have a significant adverse effect.

Bluegreen’s intellectual property rights, including existing and future trademarks, trade secrets and copyrights, are and will continue to be valuable and important assets of its business. Bluegreen believes that its proprietary technology, as well as Bluegreen’s other technologies and business practices, are competitive advantages and that any duplication by competitors would harm its business. Measures taken to protect Bluegreen’s intellectual property may not be sufficient or effective. Additionally, intellectual property laws and contractual restrictions may not prevent misappropriation of Bluegreen’s intellectual property. Finally, even if Bluegreen is able to successfully protect its intellectual property, others may develop technologies that are similar or superior to its technology. Bluegreen also generates a significant portion of its new sales prospects and leads through arrangements with third parties, including Bass Pro. The failure by Bluegreen or these third parties to protect their intellectual property rights could have a significant adverse effect.

General Risks

The market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock may be volatile or may decline regardless of the Company’s results.

The market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock may be volatile due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond its control, including those discussed in this “Risk Factors” section and under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” as well as the following:

the failure of securities analysts to cover the Company’s Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, or changes in financial estimates by analysts;

the inability to meet the financial estimates of analysts who follow the Company’s Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock;

strategic actions by the Company or its competitors;

risks related to the Company’s business and industry, including announcements by the Company or its competitors of significant issues or significant acquisitions, joint marketing relationships, joint ventures or other transactions;

introduction of new products or services by Bluegreen or its competitors;

variations in the Company’s quarterly operating results and those of its competitors, including seasonal fluctuations;

additions or departures of key personnel;

general economic and stock market conditions;

changes in conditions or trends in its industry, markets or customers;

regulatory and legal proceedings, investigations and developments;

political developments;

changes in accounting principles;

changes in tax legislation and regulations;

42


terrorist acts;

accumulation of publicly held shares and the timing and amount of future purchase or sales of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or other securities;

defaults under agreements governing the Company’s indebtedness; and

investor perceptions with respect to the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock relative to other investment alternatives.

Adverse outcomes in legal or other regulatory proceedings, including claims of non-compliance with applicable regulations or development-related defects, could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and operating results.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to litigation and other legal and regulatory proceedings, which result in significant expenses and devotion of time and the Company may agree to indemnify third parties or its strategic partners from damages or losses associated with such risks. In addition, litigation is inherently uncertain and adverse outcomes could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and operating results.

Bluegreen engages third-party contractors to construct its resorts. However, customers may assert claims against Bluegreen for construction defects or other perceived development defects, including, without limitation, structural integrity, the presence of mold as a result of leaks or other defects, water intrusion, asbestos, electrical issues, plumbing issues, road construction, water and sewer defects and defects in the engineering of amenities. In addition, certain state and local laws may impose liability on property developers with respect to development defects discovered in the future. Bluegreen could have to accrue a significant portion of the cost to repair such defects in the quarter when such defects arise or when the repair costs are reasonably estimable.

Costs associated with litigation, including claims for development-related defects, and the outcomes thereof could adversely affect the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and operating results.

The loss of the services of key management and personnel could adversely affect the business. In addition, labor shortages and increased labor cost could adversely impact our business and financial results.

The success of the Company will depend on its ability to attract and retain experienced and knowledgeable management and other professional staff, and it may not be successful in doing so. If its efforts to retain and attract key management and other personnel are unsuccessful, the Company business, prospects, and results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely impacted.

Labor is one of the primary components of operating our business. A number of factors may adversely affect the labor force available to us or increase our labor costs, including high unemployment levels, federal unemployment subsidies, including unemployment benefits offered in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and other government regulations. A sustained labor shortage or increased turnover rates, whether caused by COVID-19 or as a result of general macroeconomic or other factors, could, among other things, (i) lead to increased costs, such as increased overtime pay to meet demand and increased wage rates to attract and retain employees, (ii) negatively affect the operation of our resorts and our guest’s satisfaction with our resorts and, in turn, lead to negative public perception, or (iii) otherwise adversely impact our business and results.  Further, mitigation measures we may take to respond to a decrease in labor availability or an increase in labor costs may be unsuccessful and could have negative effects.

There are inherent uncertainties involved in estimates, judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Any changes in estimates, judgments and assumptions used could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operating results and financial condition.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP involves making estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions include, but are not limited to, those related to future cash flows, which in turn are based upon expectations of future performance given current and projected forecasts of the economy in general and the real estate markets. If any estimates, judgments or assumptions change in the future, including in the event that the Company’s performance does not otherwise meet its expectations, the Company may be required to record impairment charges against its earnings, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operating results and financial condition. In addition, GAAP requirements as to how certain estimates are

43


made may result, for example, in asset valuations which ultimately would not be realized if the Company were to attempt to sell the asset.

If the Company fails to maintain proper and effective internal controls, the Company’s ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, which could harm its operating results, the Company’s ability to operate its business and its reputation.

The Company is required to maintain a system of effective internal control over financial reporting and to provide annual management reports on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Ensuring that the Company has adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place so that the Company can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that needs to be re-evaluated frequently. Substantial work and expenses may continue to be required to implement, document, assess, test and, as necessary, remediate the Company’s system of internal controls.

If the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting are not effective, if the Company is not able to issue its financial statements in a timely manner or if the Company is not able to obtain the required audit or review of its financial statements by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in a timely manner, the Company will not be able to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the listing requirements of the NYSE. If these events occur, the listing of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the NYSE could be suspended or terminated and the Company’s stock price could materially suffer. In addition, the Company or members of its management could be subject to investigation and sanction by the SEC and other regulatory authorities and to shareholder lawsuits, which could impose significant additional costs on the Company and divert management attention.

Company Overview

The Company is a holding company for Bluegreen, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company during May 2021 as a result of the statutory short-form merger described below. Prior to the merger, the Company held approximately 93% of Bluegreen’s common stock. Bluegreen is a leading vacation ownership company that markets and sells VOIs and manages resorts in popular leisure and urban destinations.

On September 30, 2020, the Company completed its spin-off of BBX Capital, Inc. (“BBX Capital”) BBX Capital was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company prior to the spin-off and became a separate public company as a result of the spin-off. BBX Capital holds all of the historical business and investments of the Company other than the Company’s investment in Bluegreen. As a result of the spin-off, all of the Company’s operations and activities relate to the operations and activities of Bluegreen. BBX Capital and its subsidiaries are presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s financial statements.

In connection with the spin-off, the Company’s name was changed from BBX Capital Corporation to Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation. The Company also issued a $75.0 million note payable to BBX Capital (of which $50.0 million remained outstanding at December 31, 2021). The note accrues interest at a rate of 6% per annum and requires payments of interest on a quarterly basis. Under the terms of the note, the Company has the option in its discretion to defer interest payments under the note, with interest on the entire outstanding balance thereafter to accrue at a cumulative, compounded rate of 8% per annum until such time as the Company is current on all accrued payments under the note, including deferred interest. All remaining outstanding amounts under the note will become due and payable in in September 2025 or earlier upon certain other events.

On May 5, 2021, the Company acquired all of the approximately 7% of the outstanding shares of Bluegreen’s common stock not previously owned by the Company through a statutory short-form merger under Florida law. In connection with the merger, Bluegreen’s shareholders (other than the Company) received 0.51 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for each share of Bluegreen’s common stock that they held at the effective time of the merger (subject to rounding up of fractional shares). The Company issued approximately 2.66 million shares of its Class A Common Stock in connection with the merger. As a result of the completion of the merger, Bluegreen became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and its common stock is no longer publicly traded.

In July 2020, the Company effected a one-for-five reverse split of its Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. Share and per share amounts set forth herein have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the one-for-five reverse stock split as if it had occurred as of January 1, 2019.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had total consolidated assets of approximately $1.2 billion and shareholders’ equity of approximately $243.4 million.

Summary of Consolidated Results of Operations

Consolidated Results

The following summarizes key financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020:

Total consolidated revenues of $757.1 million, a 46% increase compared to 2020.

Income before income taxes from continuing operations of $98.6 million compared to a loss of $46.8 million during 2020.

Net income attributable to common shareholders of $58.7 million compared to net loss attributable to common shareholders of $80.5 million in 2020.

Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $2.79 compared to a diluted loss per share of $2.82 in 2020.

The Company’s consolidated results from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2020 were significantly impacted by the following:

An increase in the Company’s revenues primarily attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic having a more significant impact on operations in 2020.

An increase in the provision for loan losses as a percentage of sales during 2020 as a result of the estimated impact at that time of the COVID-19 pandemic on customer defaults.

An increase in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily attributable to improved industry and economic conditions in 2021, as well as expansion of our sales and marketing operations. In addition, results for 2020 reflect the steps taken at the time to mitigate costs in anticipation of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Executive Overview

Bluegreen is a leading vacation ownership company that markets and sells VOIs and manages resorts in popular leisure and urban destinations. Bluegreen’s resort network includes 45 Club Resorts (resorts in which owners in its Vacation Club have the right to use most of the units in connection with their VOI ownership) and 23 Club Associate Resorts (resorts in which owners in its Vacation Club have the right to use a limited number of units in connection with their VOI ownership). These Club Resorts and Club Associate Resorts are primarily located in high-volume, “drive-to” vacation locations, including Orlando, Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach, Charleston and New Orleans, among others. Through Bluegreen’s points-based system, the approximately 217,000 owners in Bluegreen’s Vacation Club have the flexibility to stay at units available at any of Bluegreen’s resorts and have access to over 11,300 other hotels and resorts through partnerships and exchange networks. Bluegreen’s sales and marketing platform is supported by marketing relationships with nationally-recognized consumer brands, such as Bass Pro and Choice Hotels. The Company believes these marketing relationships help generate sales within its core demographic. In 2019, Bluegreen launched its Bluegreen Renewal Program, which is part of its Company wide effort to revitalize sales, grow revenue and increase efficiency.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic caused an unprecedented disruption in the U.S. and global economies and the industries in which the Company operates due to, among other things, government ordered “shelter in place” and “stay at home” orders and advisories, travel restrictions, and restrictions on business operations, including government guidance with respect to travel, public accommodations, social gatherings, and related matters. These disruptions and the reaction of the general public to the pandemic had a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and operations throughout 2020, including, without limitation, due to the temporary closure beginning in March 2020 of all of Bluegreen’s VOI sales centers, its retail marketing operations at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s stores and outlet malls, and its Choice Hotels call transfer program, Bluegreen’s cancellation of existing owner reservations through May 15, 2020 and new prospect guest tours through June 30, 2020, and the temporary closure of certain of Bluegreen’s Club Resorts and Club Associate Resorts in accordance with government mandates and advisories. While adverse conditions continued during 2021, including due to the emergence of new variants such as the Delta variant and Omicron variant which emerged as a variant of concern during the fourth quarter of 2021, Bluegreen’s business and results generally improved during 2021.

Status of Current Operations 

As of December 31, 2021, Bluegreen was operating marketing kiosks at 128 Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s stores, including 28 new Cabela’s locations and 2 new Bass Pro locations opened during the year ended December 31, 2021; the Choice Hotels call transfer program was close to pre-pandemic volume; and all of Bluegreen’s VOI sales centers and resorts were open, except for one resort and sales center in Surfside, Florida which was closed due to conditions unrelated to the pandemic.  Further, resort occupancy rates were approximately 81% at resorts with sales centers for the year ended December 31, 2021 and we sold approximately 211,000 vacation packages in 2021 compared to approximately 132,000 in 2020. Bluegreen’s pipeline of vacation packages was 187,200 at December 31, 2021 compared to 121,900 at December 31, 2020, which we believe reflected the impact of the temporary cessation of marketing activities at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic. See “Risk Factors - The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and the current and uncertain future outlook of the pandemic may to continue to have, a significant adverse effect on Bluegreen’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.”

VOI Sales and Financing

Bluegreen’s primary business is the marketing and selling of deeded VOIs, developed either internally or by third parties. Customers who purchase these VOIs receive an allotment of points, which can be redeemed for stays at one of the Bluegreen’s resorts or at 11,300 other hotels and resorts available through partnerships and exchange networks. Bluegreen’s goal is to employ a flexible model with a mix of sales of our owned, acquired or developed VOIs and sales of VOIs on behalf of third-party developers, as determined by management to be appropriate from time to time based on market and economic conditions, available cash, and other factors. Our relationships with third-party developers enables us to generate fees from the sales and marketing of their VOIs without incurring the significant upfront capital investment generally associated with resort acquisition or development. While sales of Bluegreen

49


owned inventory typically result in a greater contribution to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, fee-based sales typically do not require an initial investment or involve development financing risk. Both Bluegreen owned VOI sales and fee-based VOI sales result in recurring, incremental and long-term fee streams by adding owners to the Bluegreen Vacation Club and new resort management contracts. Fee-based sales of VOIs comprised 31% of system-wide sales of VOIs during both years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. While Bluegreen intends to remain flexible with respect to its sales of the different categories of its VOI inventory in the future based on economic conditions, business initiatives and other considerations, Bluegreen currently expects that its percentage of fee-based sales will continue to decrease over time compared to prior years as Bluegreen continues to increase its focus on Bluegreen owned VOI sales, including developed VOI sales, JIT sales and secondary market sales. In conjunction with sales of VOIs, the Company generates interest income by providing financing to qualified purchasers. Collateralized by the underlying VOIs, Bluegreen’s loans are generally structured as 10-year, fully-amortizing loans with a fixed interest rate ranging from approximately 13% to approximately 17% per annum. As of December 31, 2021, the weighted-average interest rate on the Company’s VOI notes receivable was 15%. In addition, the Company earns fees for various other services, including title and escrow services in connection with the closing of VOI sales, and mortgage servicing.

Resort Operations and Club Management

Bluegreen enters into management agreements with the HOAs that maintain most of the resorts in Bluegreen’s Vacation Club and earns fees for providing management services to those HOAs and the approximately 217,000 Vacation Club owners. These resort management services include providing or oversight of front desk operations, housekeeping services, maintenance, and certain accounting and administration functions. Our management contracts generally yield recurring cash flows and do not have the traditional risks associated with hotel management contracts that are generally linked to daily rate or occupancy. Our management contracts are typically structured as “cost-plus,” with an initial term of three years and automatic one year renewals. In connection with the management services provided to the Vacation Club, the Company manages the reservation system and provides owner, billing and collection services.  

Principal Components Affecting the Our Results of Operations

Principal Components of Revenue

Fee-Based Sales. Represent sales of third-party VOIs where Bluegreen is paid a commission.

Bluegreen Owned VOI Sales. Represent sales of VOIs in resorts that Bluegreen has developed or acquired, VOIs acquired from HOAs or other owners, typically in connection with maintenance fee defaults, or secondary market sales. VOI inventory acquired from HOAs or other timeshare owners are generally purchased at a greater discount to retail price compared to developed VOI sales and VOIs purchased by Bluegreen for sale as part of its just-in-time (“JIT”) sales activities.

Financing Revenue. Represents revenue from the financing of VOI sales, which includes interest income and loan servicing fees. Bluegreen also earns fees from providing loan servicing to certain third-party developers relating to VOI receivables sold by them.

Resort Operations and Club Management Revenue. Represents recurring fees from managing the Vacation Club and transaction fees for Traveler Plus and other member services. Bluegreen also earns recurring management fees under its management agreements with HOAs for day-to-day management services, including oversight of housekeeping services, maintenance, and certain accounting and administrative functions.

Other Fee-Based Services. Represents revenue earned from various other services that produce recurring, predictable and long-term revenue, such as title services.

Principal Components of Costs and Expenses

Cost of VOIs Sold. Represents the cost at which Bluegreen owned VOIs sold during the period were relieved from inventory. Compared to the cost of Bluegreen developed VOI inventory, VOIs acquired in connection with JIT

50


arrangements typically have a relatively higher associated cost of sales as a percentage of sales while those acquired in connection with secondary market arrangements typically have a lower cost of sales as a percentage of sales as secondary market inventory is generally obtained from HOAs at a significant discount to retail price. Cost of VOIs sold as a percentage of sales of VOIs varies between periods based on the relative costs of the specific VOIs sold in each period and the size of the point packages of the VOIs sold (primarily due to offered volume discounts, and taking into account consideration of cumulative sales to existing owners). Additionally, the effect of changes in estimates under the relative sales value method, including estimates of projected sales, future defaults, upgrades and incremental revenue from the resale of repossessed VOI inventory, are reflected on a retrospective basis in the period the change occurs. Cost of sales is typically favorably impacted in periods where a significant amount of secondary market VOI inventory is acquired and actual defaults and equity trades are higher and the resulting change in estimate is recognized. While Bluegreen believes that there is additional inventory that can be obtained through the secondary market at favorable prices to Bluegreen in the future, there is no assurance that such inventory will be available.

Net Carrying Cost of VOI Inventory. Represents the maintenance fees and developer subsidies for unsold VOI inventory paid or accrued to the HOAs that maintain the resorts. Bluegreen attempts to offset this expense, to the extent possible, by generating revenue from renting its VOIs and through utilizing them in Bluegreen’s sampler programs. Bluegreen may also house marketing guest in our unsold VOIs in which case the cost of such unit is recognized as sales and marketing expense. Bluegreen nets such revenue from this expense item.

Selling and Marketing Expense. Represents costs incurred to sell and market VOIs, including costs relating to marketing and incentive programs, tours, and related wages and sales commissions. Revenue from vacation package sales are netted against selling and marketing expenses.

Financing Expense. Represents financing interest expense related to Bluegreen’s receivable-backed debt, amortization of the related debt issuance costs and other expenses incurred in providing financing and servicing loans, including administrative costs associated with mortgage servicing activities for Bluegreen’s loans and the loans of certain third-party developers. Mortgage servicing activities include, among other things, payment processing, reporting and collection services.

Resort Operations and Club Management Expense. Represents costs incurred to manage resorts and the Vacation Club, including payroll and related costs and other administrative costs to the extent not reimbursed by the Vacation Club or HOAs.

General and Administrative Expense. Primarily represents compensation expense for personnel supporting Bluegreen’s business and operations, professional fees (including consulting, audit and legal fees), and administrative and related expenses. 

 

Key Business and Financial Metrics Used by Management

Operating Metrics

Sales of VOIs. Represent sales of Bluegreen owned VOIs, including developed VOIs and those acquired through JIT and secondary market arrangements, reduced by equity trade allowances and an estimate of uncollectible VOI notes receivable. In addition to the factors impacting system-wide sales of VOIs (as described below), sales of VOIs are impacted by the proportion of system-wide sales of VOIs sold on behalf of third-parties on a commission basis, which are not included in sales of VOIs.

System-wide Sales of VOIs. Represents all sales of VOIs, whether owned by Bluegreen or a third party immediately prior to the sale. Sales of VOIs owned by third parties are transacted as sales of VOIs in Bluegreen’s Vacation Club through the same selling and marketing process Bluegreen uses to sell Bluegreen owned VOI inventory. Bluegreen considers system-wide sales of VOIs to be an important operating measure because it reflects all sales of VOIs by Bluegreen’s sales and marketing operations without regard to whether Bluegreen or a third party owned such VOI inventory at the time of sale. System-wide sales of VOIs is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to sales of VOIs or any other measure of financial performance derived in accordance with GAAP or to any other method of analyzing Bluegreen’s results as reported under GAAP.

51


Guest Tours. Represents the number of sales presentations given at Bluegreen’s sales centers during the period.

Sale to Tour Conversion Ratio. Represents the rate at which guest tours are converted to sales of VOIs and is calculated by dividing guest tours by number of VOI sales transactions.

Average Sales Volume Per Guest (“VPG”). Represents the sales attributable to tours at Bluegreen’s sales locations and is calculated by dividing VOI sales by guest tours. Bluegreen considers VPG to be an important operating measure because it measures the effectiveness of Bluegreen’s sales process, combining the average transaction price with the sale-to-tour conversion ratio.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders. The Company defines EBITDA 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 debt secured by VOI notes receivable), and depreciation and amortization. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, adjusted to exclude amounts of loss (gain) on assets held for sale, share-based compensation expense, and items that the Company believes are not representative of ongoing operating results. Accordingly, in calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the Company excludes certain items which it believes are not representative of ongoing operating results, such as severance charges net of employee retention tax credits and incremental costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and for 2019, the payments made to Bass Pro pursuant to the settlement agreement entered into with Bass Pro at that time. Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders is Adjusted EBITDA excluding amounts attributable to the non-controlling interest in Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations (in which Bluegreen owns a 51% interest). For purposes of the calculation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders, no adjustments were made for interest income earned on 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 ordinary operations of the Company’s business.

The Company considers EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders and Segment Adjusted EBITDA to be indicators of operating performance, and they are used by the Company to measure its ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand its business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by companies, lenders, investors and others because they 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 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, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders 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.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity, including cash flow, derived in accordance with GAAP, or to any other method or analyzing results as reported under GAAP. The limitations of using EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders as an analytical tool include, without limitation, that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders do not reflect (i) changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; (ii) interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on indebtedness (other than as noted above); (iii) tax expense or the cash requirements to pay taxes; (iv) historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; or (v) the effect on earnings or changes resulting from matters that the Company does not believe to be indicative of our future operations or performance. Further, although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to

52


Shareholders do not reflect any cash that may be required for such replacements. In addition, the Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders may not be comparable to definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders or other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

(1)Bluegreen owned VOI sales represent sales of VOIs acquired or developed by Bluegreen.

(2)Percentages for provision for loan losses are calculated as a percentage of gross sales of VOIs, which excludes Fee-Based sales (and not of system-wide sales of VOIs).

(3)Percentages for costs of VOIs sold and gross profit are calculated as a percentage of sales of VOIs (and not based on system-wide sales of VOIs).

(4)Percentages for Fee-Based sales commission revenue are calculated as a percentage of Fee-Based sales (and not based on system-wide sales of VOIs).

(5)Represents the applicable line item, calculated as a percentage of system-wide sales of VOIs, unless otherwise indicated in the above footnotes.

System-wide sales of VOIs. System-wide sales of VOIs were $617.6 million and $367.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. System-wide sales of VOIs are driven by the number of guest attending a timeshare sale presentation (a “guest tour”) and our ability to convert such guest tours into purchases of VOIs. The number of guest tours is driven by the number of existing owner guests Bluegreen has staying at a resort with a sales center and new guests who agree to attend a sales presentation. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Bluegreen’s decision to temporarily cease marketing activities from March through May 2020, guest tours and as a result, system-wide sales of VOIs were significantly adversely impacted during 2020.  During 2021, Bluegreen experienced an increase in guest tours resulting an increase in system-wide sales of VOIs. The COVID-19 pandemic

56


significantly impacted, and may continue to adversely impact, system-wide sales of VOIs. The ultimate extent and duration of the impact cannot be predicted at this time.

Included in system-wide sales are Fee-Based Sales and Bluegreen-owned sales. Sales by category are tracked based on which deeded VOI is conveyed in each transaction. The individual VOIs sold is based on several factors, including the needs of fee-based clients, the Company’s debt service requirements and default resale requirements under term securitizations and similar transactions. These factors and business initiatives contribute to fluctuations in the amount of sales by category from period to period.

Sales of VOIs. Sales of VOIs were $353.7 million and $174.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Sales of VOIs were impacted by the factors described in the discussion of system-wide sales of VOIs above, primarily the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Gross sales of VOIs were reduced by $72.8 million and $56.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, for the provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses varies based on the amount of financed, non-fee based sales during the period and changes in estimates of future notes receivable performance for existing and newly originated loans. The provision for loan losses as a percentage of gross sales of VOIs was 17% and 25% during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The percentage of sales which were realized in cash within 30 days from sale was 41% during the year ended December 31, 2021, and 42% during the year ended December 31, 2020.

In March 2020, Bluegreen recorded an additional allowance of $12.0 million which included Bluegreen’s estimate at that time of customer defaults as a result of changing economic factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Bluegreen believes that the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have an impact on the collectibility of its VOI notes receivable. In addition to the COVID-19 pandemic, the provision for loan losses continues to be impacted by defaults which Bluegreen believes are attributable to the receipt of letters from third parties and attorneys who purport to represent certain VOI owners and who have encouraged such owners to become delinquent and ultimately default on their obligations. See Note 12: Commitments and Contingencies to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this report for additional information regarding such letters and actions we have taken in connection with such letters. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the continued impact of actions taken by timeshare exit firms are highly uncertain and there is no assurance that steps taken to mitigate the impact of the pandemic or actions taken by timeshare exit firms will be successful or that the pandemic will not otherwise continue to impact the collectability or our VOI notes receivable to a greater extent than estimated. As a result, actual defaults may differ from our estimates and the allowance for loan losses may not prove to be adequate.

The average annual default rates and delinquency rates (more than 30 days past due) on our VOI notes receivable were as follows:

Cost of VOIs Sold. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, cost of VOIs sold was $29.5 million and $13.6 million, respectively, and represented 8% of sales of VOIs for each year. Cost of VOIs sold as a percentage of sales of VOIs varies between periods based on the relative costs of the specific VOIs sold in each period and the size of the point packages of the VOIs sold (due to offered volume discounts, including consideration of cumulative sales to existing owners). Additionally, the effect of changes in estimates under the relative sales value method, including estimates of sales, future defaults, upgrades and incremental revenue from the resale of repossessed VOI inventory, are reflected on a retrospective basis in the period the change occurs. Therefore, cost of sales is typically favorably impacted in periods where a significant amount of Secondary Market VOI inventory is acquired or actual defaults and equity trades are higher than anticipated and the resulting change in estimate is recognized. Cost of VOIs sold as a percentage of sales of VOIs was consistent for both 2021 and 2020.

Fee-Based Sales Commission Revenue. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, Bluegreen sold $191.1 million and $136.1 million, respectively, of third-party VOI inventory under commission arrangements and earned sales and marketing commissions of $128.3 million and $90.0 million, respectively, in connection with those sales. The increase in sales of third-party developer inventory on a commission basis during 2021 reflected the increase in new guest tours as a result of the more significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on operations in 2020 and the other factors described above. Bluegreen earned an average sales and marketing commission of 67% and 66% during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which is net of a reserve for commission refunds in connection with early defaults and cancellations pursuant to the terms of certain of the fee-based service arrangements. Bluegreen typically recognizes a sales and marketing commission between 65% and 68% on sales of third-party VOI inventory.

Financing Revenue, Net of Financing Expense — Sales of VOIs. Interest income on VOIs notes receivable was $81.3 million and $77.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which was partially offset by interest expense on receivable backed debt of $15.5 million and $17.0 million, respectively. The increase in finance revenue, net of finance expense during 2021 as compared to 2020 is primarily due to higher VOI notes receivable balances as a result of higher sales of VOIs in 2021 due to the more significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on operations in 2020 and the other factors described above, lower outstanding receivable-backed debt balances and a lower weighted-average cost of borrowings attributable to the lower interest rates for the year ended December 31, 2021. Revenue from third-party mortgage servicing during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 of $5.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively, are included in financing revenue, net of mortgage servicing expenses of $5.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The decrease in revenues from third-party mortgage servicing reflects a decrease of 9% in the principle balance of loans serviced.

Other Fee-Based Services — Title Operations, net. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, revenue from title operations was $12.2 million and $7.6 million, respectively, which was partially offset by expenses directly related to title operations of $3.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively. Resort title fee revenue varies based on VOI sales volumes as well as the relative title costs in the jurisdictions where the inventory being sold is located. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2020 is primarily due to higher system-wide sales of

58


VOIs in 2021 due to the greater impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on operations in 2020 and the other factors described above.

Net Carrying Cost of VOI Inventory. The gross carrying cost of VOI inventory was $42.2 million and $40.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which was partially offset by rental and sampler revenue of $19.9 million and $6.2 million, respectively. The decrease in net carrying costs of VOI inventory was primarily related to increased rentals of developer inventory and increased sampler stays due to the more significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on operations in 2020, partially offset by increased maintenance fees and developer subsidies associated with the increase in VOI inventory. In certain circumstances, marketing costs are offset by using inventory for marketing guest stays.

Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses were $338.3 million and $217.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As a percentage of system-wide sales of VOIs, selling and marketing expenses were 55% and 59% during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of system-wide sales of VOIs during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, is primarily attributable to the fixed nature of certain costs and the cost of maintaining certain sales and marketing associates on temporary furlough in 2020 due to the temporary closure of VOI sales centers and marketing operations in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed above. During the year ended December 31, 2020, Bluegreen incurred $3.2 million in severance and $13.6 million of payroll and benefits expenses relating to employees on temporary furlough or reduced work hours as a result of actions taken in connection with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Bluegreen incurred $2.4 million in severance but no such COVID-19 related expense. In addition, Bluegreen was also impacted by costs incurred associated with the commencement of marketing operations at 28 and 10 additional Cabela’s stores during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and two new Bass Pro stores during the year ended December 31, 2021. Bluegreen utilizes these stores to sell discounted vacation packages to customers for future travel which require the customers to attend a timeshare presentation. Additionally, during 2021, Bluegreen incurred costs associated with redesigning its sales and marketing platform, including updating sales offices, refreshing marketing material, and adding new sales and marketing senior leadership positions. Further, Bluegreen has invested in various local and national marketing programs in an effort to attract new customers. These program changes may not be successful or generate a sufficient number of prospects to offset the program costs incurred.

The following table sets forth certain new customer marketing information, excluding sampler and other returning owner vacation packages, for 2021 and 2020:

During 2020, Bluegreen eliminated certain of its lower performing mini-vacation programs, including a lead generation operation at various malls. While the elimination of these programs has resulted in lower sales of vacation packages, we believe our expansion into Cabela’s and other local and national marketing programs has to date offset the impact of this decrease in vacation packages.

59


In addition to vacation packaged sold to new prospects, we also sell vacation packages to customers who have already toured and whom purchased a VOI, and have indicated they would tour again. As of December 31, 2021, the pipeline of such packages was approximately 15,000. There is no assurance that such packages will convert to sales at historical or expected levels.

General and Administrative Expenses — Sales and Marketing Operations. General and administrative expenses, representing expenses directly attributable to sales and marketing operations, were $36.7 million and $27.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As a percentage of system-wide sales of VOIs, general and administrative expenses directly attributable to sales and marketing operations were 6% and 7% during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease as a percentage of sales for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily due to the fixed nature of certain costs, the costs of maintaining certain sales associates on temporary furlough due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (as described above), and lower VOI system-wide sales of VOIs in 2020.

Resort Operations and Club Management Revenue. Resort operations and club management revenue increased 7% during the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. Cost reimbursement revenue, which consists of payroll and other operating expenses which we incur and pass through to the HOAs, increased 7% during the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in cost reimbursement revenue was primarily attributable to the reduction in headcount in 2020 due to actions taken in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Excluding cost reimbursement revenue, resort operations and club management revenue increased 7% during the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to increased resort retail operations and third-party rental commissions as a result of the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Our resort network included 68 Club and Club Associate Resorts as of both December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. We managed 49 resort properties as of both December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Resort Operations and Club Management Expense. Excluding cost reimbursement expense, resort operations and club management expense decreased 19% during the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

General and Administrative Expenses — Corporate and Other. General and administrative expenses directly attributable to Bluegreen’s corporate overhead were $88.0 million and $68.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase was primarily due to $7.1 million of employee retention credit earned in 2020 under the CARES Act with no such related credit in 2021, coupled with increased employee benefits and higher executive and management incentive compensation during the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020.

Other Income (Expense), net. Other income (expense), net was $0.9 million and ($0.4) million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This increase was primarily related to increased forfeiture income from VOI Sales during 2021 as compared to 2020.

Interest Expense Interest expense unrelated to receivable-backed debt was $12.6 million and $15.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to a lower outstanding debt balances partially offset by a higher weighted-average cost of borrowing. The weighted average cost of borrowing excluding receivable-backed debt as of December 31, 2021 was approximately 5.6% compared to approximately 5.3% as of December 31, 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest in Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations. The Company includes in its consolidated financial statements the results of operations and financial condition of Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, Bluegreen’s 51%-owned subsidiary. The non-controlling interest in Adjusted EBITDA of Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations is the portion of Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations’ Adjusted EBITDA that is attributable to Big Cedar LLC, which holds the remaining 49% interest in Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the non-controlling interest in Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations was $13.4 million and $7.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the non-controlling interest in Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations in 2021 compared to 2020 primarily reflects the more significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on 2020 results, as discussed above.

Parent Company

The Parent Company Corporate in the Company’s segment information primarily includes the following:

BVH’s corporate general and administrative expenses;

Interest expense associated with Woodbridge’s junior subordinated debentures and the note payable to BBX Capital; and

Interest income on interest-bearing cash accounts.

Corporate General and Administrative Expenses

The Parent Company’s corporate general and administrative expenses were $2.6 million and $59.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  The Parent Company’s corporate general and administrative expenses during periods subsequent to the September 2020 spin-off of BBX Capital consist primarily of costs associated with the Parent Company being a publicly traded company (including, but not limited to executive compensation, shareholder relations, and legal and auditing expenses). Further, the expenses for 2020 include the costs associated with the acceleration of the vesting of unvested restricted stock awards and payments to settle BVH’s long term incentive program for 2020, in each case, in connection with the spin-off of BBX Capital, which in the aggregate resulted in $32.6 million of compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition, included in the BVH corporate general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $1.8 million of other costs associated with the spin-off.

Interest Expense

The Parent Company’s interest expense was $7.2 million and $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 includes $4.5 million of interest expense on the $75.0 million note payable to BBX Capital, issued in connection with the spin-off of BBX Capital in September 2020, $25.0 million of which was repaid in December 31, 2021. This increase was partially offset by lower variable interest rates on Woodbridge’s junior subordinated debentures and BVH’s repayment in full during August 2020 of its $80.0 million note payable to Bluegreen. The interest expense on the $80.0 million note to Bluegreen and the related interest income recognized by Bluegreen are eliminated in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations in 2020.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes from continuing operations

The provision (benefit) for income taxes was $26.7 million and ($2.4) million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate was approximately 31% and 5% for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effective income tax rate differed than the expected federal income tax rate of 21% due to the impact of the Company’s nondeductible executive compensation and state income taxes.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations represent the activities of BBX Capital, the former wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which was spun off on September 30, 2020. BBX Capital’s businesses include all of the historical businesses and investments of the Company other than Bluegreen, including BBX Capital Real Estate, BBX Sweet Holdings, and Renin.

Loss from discontinued operations before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $41.6 million, which included $30.7 million of impairment losses primarily resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on BBX Capital’s businesses, including IT’SUGAR.

Net Income or Loss from Continuing Operations Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the results of operations and financial position of partially owned subsidiaries in which it holds a controlling financial interest, including Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations (which is owned 51% by Bluegreen). In addition, prior to the May 5, 2021 statutory short-form merger pursuant to which

62


Bluegreen became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company owned an approximate 93% interest in Bluegreen.

Net income from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interests during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $14.1 million and $8.2 million, respectively. The increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2020 was primarily due to an increase in the net income of Bluegreen and Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations as discussed above.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The Company’s operating cash flow increased $47.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2020 primarily reflecting the following:

increased operating profit in 2021 reflecting the more significant adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on operations in 2020; and

the elimination of certain activities related to BBX Capital, the former wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which was spun off in September 2020;

partially offset by increased income tax payments in 2021, increased spending on the acquisition and development of inventory in 2021, and $13.0 million of 2022 payments in 2021 to Bass Pro, including the $4.0 million settlement payment to Bass Pro due in January 2022 pursuant to the settlement agreement described in Note 12 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.

Cash Flows in Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $13.6 million and $14.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Cash used in investing activities included spending on purchases of property and equipment of $13.6 million in 2021 and $11.8 million in 2020. Cash used in investing activities in 2020 also included $8.3 million of proceeds from repayments of loans receivable and sales of real estate, and net investment spend of $9.3 million in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures related to BBX Capital the former wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which was spun off on September 30, 2020, with no such activity in the 2021 period.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $27.5 million lower during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to the $96.8 million in cash transferred to BBX Capital in connection with the Company’s spin-off of BBX Capital on September 30, 2020. This decrease was partially offset by $60.1 million in lower net debt borrowings in 2021. In addition, the Company repurchased $27.3 million of shares of its common stock in 2021 compared to Bluegreen’s repurchase of $11.7 million of its common stock in 2020.

For additional information on the availability of cash from existing credit facilities, as well as repayment obligations, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

  

Seasonality

The Company has historically, and expects to continue to experience, seasonal fluctuations in its revenues and results of operations. This seasonality has resulted, and may continue to result, in fluctuations in quarterly operating results. Due to consumer travel patterns, we typically experience more tours and higher VOI sales volume during the second and third quarters.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company, excluding Bluegreen

As of December 31, 2021, the Company, excluding its subsidiaries, had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of approximately $3.7 million. Its primary sources of liquidity for the foreseeable future are expected to be, its available cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments and distributions from Bluegreen. However, as described below, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and created uncertainty regarding these sources of liquidity.

In connection with our spin-off of BBX Capital, we issued a $75.0 million note payable to BBX Capital that accrues interest at a rate of 6% per annum and requires payments of interest on a quarterly basis. Under the terms of the note, we have the option in our discretion to defer interest payments under the note, with interest on the entire outstanding balance thereafter to accrue at a cumulative, compounded rate of 8% per annum until such time as all accrued payments under the note are brought current, including deferred interest. In December 2021, we repaid $25.0 million on the note payable to BBX Capital, leaving a remaining balance as of December 31, 2021 of $50.0 million. All outstanding amounts under the note will become due and payable in September 2025 or earlier upon certain events.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Woodbridge, had $65.3 million in junior subordinated debentures outstanding as of December 31, 2021. Woodbridge’s junior subordinated debentures accrue interest at a rate of 3-month LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 3.80% to 3.85%, mature between 2035 and 2036, and require interest payments on a quarterly basis.

The Company, at its parent company level, is a holding company with limited operations which currently expects to incur approximately $2.0 million to $2.2 million annually in executive compensation expenses and public company costs as well as annual interest expense of approximately $5.7 million to $6.0 million associated with Woodbridge’s junior subordinated debentures and the note payable to BBX Capital. These amounts are based on current expectations and assumptions, currently available information and, with respect to interest expense on Woodbridge’s junior subordinated debentures, interest rates as of December 31, 2021. Such assumptions and expectations may not prove to be accurate, interest rates may increase and, accordingly or otherwise, actual expenses may exceed the amounts expected. BVH will rely primarily on cash on hand and cash equivalents, as well as distributions paid by Bluegreen in the future, to fund its operations and satisfy its debt service requirements and other liabilities, including its note payable to BBX Capital. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Bluegreen distributed $35.0 million to BVH, which was used by BVH to fund certain operations and expenses, including the acquisition of shares under the Company’s share repurchase program, as described below. BVH is dependent on the payment of distributions from Bluegreen to fund its operations and debt service requirements in future periods. There is no assurance that Bluegreen will pay distributions in the amounts required to fund its needs or at all.

Except as otherwise noted, the debts and obligations of Bluegreen are not direct obligations of BVH and generally are non-recourse to BVH. Similarly, the assets of Bluegreen are not available to BVH absent a distribution. Furthermore, certain of Bluegreen’s credit facilities contain terms which could limit the payment of distributions without the lender’s consent or waiver. BVH may also seek additional liquidity in the future from outside sources, including traditional bank financing, secured or unsecured indebtedness, or the issuance of equity and/or debt securities. However, these alternatives may not be available to BVH on attractive terms, or at all. The inability to raise funds through such sources when or to the extent needed would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

In August 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved a share repurchase program which authorizes the repurchase of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock at an aggregate cost of up to $40.0 million. The Company repurchased and retired 1,182,339 of Class A Common Stock and 18,996 shares of Class B Common Stock during the year ended December 31, 2021 for an aggregate purchase price of $27.3 million. As of December 31, 2021, $12.7 million remained available for the repurchase of shares under the Company’s share repurchase program. The share repurchase program approved in August 2021 replaced the Company’s previous share repurchase program which was adopted in June 2017. No shares were repurchased under the prior share repurchase program during the years ended December 31, 2020 or 2021.

Bluegreen

Bluegreen believes that it has sufficient liquidity from the sources described below to fund its operations, including its anticipated working capital, capital expenditure, debt service requirements and impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic challenges for the foreseeable future, subject to the success of its ongoing mitigating measures to manage through current challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as discussed in this report, including cost and capital expenditure reductions and the ongoing availability of credit.

Bluegreen’s primary sources of funds from internal operations are: (i) cash sales; (ii) down payments on VOI sales which are financed; (iii) proceeds from borrowings collateralized by notes receivable; (iv) cash from finance operations; and (v) net cash generated from sales and marketing fee-based services and other fee-based services, including resort management operations.

The ability to borrow against notes receivable from VOI buyers has been critical to Bluegreen’s continued liquidity. A financed VOI buyer is generally only required to pay a minimum of 10% of the purchase price in cash at the time of sale; however, selling, marketing and administrative expenses attributable to the sale are primarily cash expenses that generally exceed a buyer’s minimum required down payment. Accordingly, having financing facilities available to borrow against Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable has been critical to its ability to meet its short and long-term cash needs. Bluegreen has attempted to maintain a number of diverse financing facilities. Historically, Bluegreen has relied on the term securitization market in order to generate liquidity and create capacity in its receivable facilities. In addition, maintaining adequate VOI inventory to sell and pursue growth into new markets requires Bluegreen to use cash on hand or incur debt for the acquisition, construction and development of new resorts. Development expenditures in 2022 are expected to range between $100.0 million to $115.0 million.

As described above, Bluegreen’s ability to borrow against its VOI notes receivable has historically been a critical factor in Bluegreen’s liquidity. If Bluegreen is unable to renew credit facilities or obtain new credit facilities, Bluegreen’s business, results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition would be materially, adversely impacted.

Bluegreen has entered into agreements with third-party developers that allow Bluegreen to buy VOI inventory, typically on a non-committed basis, prior to when it intends to sell such VOIs. Bluegreen also enters into secondary market arrangements with certain HOAs and others generally on a non-committed basis, which allows Bluegreen to acquire VOIs generally at a significant discount, as such VOIs are typically obtained by the HOAs through foreclosure in connection with maintenance fee defaults. Acquisition of JIT and secondary market inventory, both of which are considered Bluegreen-owned inventory, is expected to range between $10.0 million to $15.0 million in 2022.

Bluegreen has $14.8 million of required contractual obligations due to be paid within one year and two facilities with advance periods scheduled to expire within one year. While there is no assurance that Bluegreen will be successful, Bluegreen intends to seek to renew or extend its debt and extend its advance periods on certain facilities.

Bluegreen’s level of debt and debt service requirements have several important effects on its operations and in turn on the Company, including that: (i) significant debt service cash requirements reduce the funds available for operations and future business opportunities and increase Bluegreen’s vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, as well as conditions in the credit markets, generally; (ii) Bluegreen’s leverage position increases its vulnerability to economic and competitive pressures; (iii) the financial covenants and other restrictions contained in indentures, credit agreements and other agreements relating to its indebtedness require Bluegreen to meet certain financial tests and may restrict Bluegreen’s ability to, among other things, pay dividends, borrow additional funds, dispose of assets or make investments; and (iv) Bluegreen’s leverage position may limit funds available for acquisitions, working capital, capital expenditures, dividends and other general corporate purposes. Certain of Bluegreen’s competitors may operate on a less leveraged basis and may have greater operating and financial flexibility than Bluegreen does.

Credit Facilities for Receivables with Future Availability

Bluegreen maintains various credit facilities with financial institutions which allow it to borrow against or sell its VOI notes receivable. As of December 31, 2021, Bluegreen had the following credit facilities with future availability, all of which are subject to terms and conditions during the advance period (dollars in thousands):

See Note 10 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 for additional information with respect to Bluegreen’s receivable-backed notes payable facilities.

Other Credit Facilities

Fifth Third Syndicated Line-of-Credit and Fifth Third Syndicated Term Loan. Bluegreen’s has a $225.0 million corporate credit facility which includes a $100.0 million term loan (the “Fifth Third Syndicated Loan”) with quarterly amortization requirements and a $125.0 million revolving line of credit (the “Fifth Third Syndicated Line-of-Credit”). In February 2022, Bluegreen amended and increased the revolving line of credit by $75.0 million. Borrowings, including amounts outstanding prior to the amendment and restatement and future borrowings, generally bear interest at a rate of term SOFR plus 1.75-2.50% and a 0.05%-0.10% credit spread adjustment, depending on Bluegreen’s leverage ratio (as compared to LIBOR plus 2.00%-2.50% with a 0.25% LIBOR floor under the terms of the facility prior to the amendment and restatement). The amendment also extended the maturity date from October 2024 to February 2027. Fifth Third Bank acts as administrative agent, lead arranger, and participating lender. In addition, certain other banks participate as lenders. Borrowings are collateralized by certain VOI inventory, sales center buildings, management fees, short-term receivables and cash flows from residual interests relating to certain term securitizations. As of December 31, 2021, outstanding borrowings under the facility totaled $98.1 million, including $88.1 million under the Fifth Third Syndicated Term Loan with an interest rate of 2.25%, and $10.0 million under the Fifth Third Syndicated Line of Credit with an interest rate of 2.25%.

Bluegreen also has outstanding obligations under various securitizations that have no remaining future availability as the advance periods have expired.

(1)Amounts do not include purchase accounting adjustments for junior subordinated debentures of $35.0 million.

(2)Amounts represent the cash payment for leases and includes interest of $10.8 million.

(3)Amounts represent the $4.0 million annual cash payment to Bass Pro during each of 2023 and 2024 pursuant to the June 2019 settlement agreement and include imputed interest of $0.7 million.

(4)Assumes that the scheduled minimum principal payments are made in accordance with the table above and the interest rate on variable rate debt remains the same as the rate at December 31, 2021.

The future commitments of the Company, excluding Bluegreen, relate to Woodbridge’s junior subordinated debentures and the note payable to BBX Capital, including interest thereon. The Company will rely primarily on cash on hand and cash equivalents, as well as distributions, if any, that may be paid by Bluegreen in the future, in order to satisfy the principal payments required on its contractual obligations. As discussed above, while the Company believes that it will have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund its operations for the foreseeable future, it will be dependent on the payment of distribution by Bluegreen to fund its operations in future periods. There is no assurance that Bluegreen will pay distributions in amounts required to fund BVH’s needs or at all.

In lieu of paying maintenance fees for unsold VOI inventory, Bluegreen may enter into subsidy agreements with certain HOAs. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, Bluegreen made payments related to such subsidies of $24.9 million and $24.0 million, respectively, which are included within cost of other fee-based services in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2021, we had $0.2 million accrued for such subsidies, which is included in accrued liabilities and other in the audited consolidated balance sheet as of such date. As of December 31, 2020, Bluegreen had no accrued liabilities for such subsidies.

Bluegreen intends to use cash on hand and cash flow from operations, including cash received from the sale or pledge of VOI notes receivable, and cash received from new borrowings under existing or future credit facilities in order to satisfy the principal and interest payments required on contractual obligations.

Bluegreen believes that its existing cash, anticipated cash generated from operations, anticipated future permitted borrowings under existing or future credit facilities, and anticipated future sales of notes receivable under existing, future or replacement purchase facilities will be sufficient to meet its anticipated working capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements, including the contractual payment of the Bluegreen obligations set forth above, for the foreseeable future subject to the success of its ongoing business strategies, the ongoing availability of credit and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and success of the actions Bluegreen has taken in response thereto. Bluegreen will continue its efforts to renew, extend or replace any credit and receivables purchase facilities that have expired or that will expire in the near term. Bluegreen may, in the future, also obtain additional credit facilities and may issue

68


corporate debt. Any debt incurred or issued may be secured or unsecured, bear interest at fixed or variable rates and may be subject to such terms as the lender may require and management believes acceptable. There can be no assurance that Bluegreen’s efforts to renew or replace credit facilities or receivables purchase facilities which have expired or which are scheduled to expire in the near term will be successful or that sufficient funds will be available from operations or under existing, proposed or future revolving credit or other borrowing arrangements or receivables purchase facilities to meet Bluegreen’s cash needs, including debt service obligations. To the extent Bluegreen is unable to sell notes receivable or borrow under such facilities, its ability to satisfy its obligations would be materially adversely affected.

Bluegreen’s receivables purchase facilities, credit facilities, indentures and other outstanding debt instruments include what Bluegreen believes to be customary conditions to funding, eligibility requirements for collateral, cross-default and other acceleration provisions and certain financial and other affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, limits on the incurrence of indebtedness, payment of dividends, investments in joint ventures and other restricted payments, the incurrence of liens and transactions with affiliates, as well as covenants concerning net worth, fixed charge coverage requirements, debt-to-equity ratios, portfolio performance requirements and cash balances, and events of default or termination. In the future, Bluegreen may be required to seek waivers of such covenants, but may not be successful in obtaining waivers, and such covenants may limit its ability to raise funds, sell receivables or satisfy or refinance its obligations, or otherwise adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations, as well as its ability to pay distributions. Bluegreen’s future operating performance and ability to meet its financial obligations will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which may be beyond its control.

As previously disclosed, Bluegreen entered into a settlement agreement and revised marketing arrangement with Bass Pro and its affiliates during June 2019. Pursuant to the agreement, Bluegreen agreed to make five annual payments to Bass Pro of $4.0 million, which commenced in January 2020. Additionally, in lieu of the previous commission arrangement, Bluegreen agreed to pay Bass Pro a fixed annual fee for each Bass Pro and Cabela’s retail store that Bluegreen accessed and an amount per net vacation package sold. As of December 31, 2021, Bluegreen had sales and marketing operations at a total of 128 Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s Stores. In December 2021, Bluegreen paid Bass Pro $8.3 million for the 2022 fixed fee, which is included in prepaid expenses in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021.

Off-balance-sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any “off-balance sheet” arrangements.

  

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires it to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of commitments and contingencies. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those that relate to the estimated future sales value of inventory, the recognition of revenue and its allowance for loan losses. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates if different assumptions and conditions were utilized. If actual results differ significantly from its estimates, its results of operations and financial condition could be materially, adversely impacted.

Revenue Recognition for Sales of VOIs

The Company generally offers qualified purchasers financing for up to 90% of the purchase price of VOIs. The typical financing provides for a term of ten years and a fixed interest rate, is fully amortizing in equal installments and may be prepaid without penalty. For sales of VOIs for which the Company provides financing, it has reduced the transaction price for expected loan losses, which it considers to be variable consideration. To the extent the Company determines that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized may occur, it records an estimate of

69


variable consideration as a reduction to the transaction price of the sales of VOIs until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company’s estimate of variable consideration is based on the results of its static pool analysis, which relies on historical payment data for similar VOI notes receivable and tracks uncollectibles for each period’s sales over the entire life of the VOI notes receivable. The Company also considers whether historical economic conditions are comparable to then current economic conditions, as well as variations in underwriting standards. The Company’s policies regarding the estimation of variable consideration on its notes receivable are discussed in further detail under “Allowance for Loan Losses on VOI Notes Receivable” below.

Allowance for Loan Losses on VOI Notes Receivable

The allowance for loan losses is related to the notes receivable generated in connection with financing the Company’s VOI sales. The Company holds large amounts of homogeneous VOI notes receivable and assess uncollectibility based on pools of receivables as there are no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty or groups of counterparties. In estimating future loan losses, the Company does not use a single primary indicator of credit quality but instead evaluates its VOI notes receivable based upon a static pool analysis that incorporates the age of the respective receivables, default trends and prepayment rates by origination year, as well as the FICO scores of the borrowers.

 

 Inventory and Cost of Sales

The Company carries its completed inventory at the lower of:  (i) cost, including costs of improvements and amenities incurred subsequent to acquisition, capitalized interest, real estate taxes and other costs incurred during construction, or (ii) estimated fair market value, less costs to sell. The Company uses the relative sales value method for establishing the cost of its VOI sales and relieving inventory, which requires it to make estimates subject to significant uncertainty. Under the relative sales value method required by timeshare accounting rules, cost of sales is calculated as a percentage of net sales using a cost-of-sales percentage based on the ratio of total estimated development costs to total estimated VOI revenue, including the estimated incremental revenue from the resale of VOI inventory repossessed, generally as a result of the default of the related receivable. Also, pursuant to timeshare accounting rules, the Company does not relieve inventory for VOI cost of sales related to anticipated loan losses. Accordingly, no adjustment is made when inventory is reacquired upon default of the related receivable. The effect of changes in estimates under the relative sales value method, including estimates of projected sales, future defaults, upgrades and incremental revenue from the resale of repossessed VOI inventory, are reflected on a retrospective basis in the period the change occurs.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated March 3, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosures to which it relates.


72


Allowance for Loan Losses

Description of the Matter

As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s allowance for loan losses was $163 million. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, for sales of vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) for which the Company provides financing, the Company records an estimate of variable consideration for expected loan losses as a reduction of the transaction price. The Company’s estimates of variable consideration are based on an estimate of future loan losses that are the result of its static pool analysis, which relies on historical payment data for similar VOI notes receivable and tracks uncollectible loans for each period’s sales over the entire life of the VOI notes receivable. The Company also considers whether historical economic conditions are comparable to then current economic conditions.

Auditing the Company’s allowance for loan losses was challenging because significant audit effort is required as the static pool analyses are complex and contain a significant volume of data. Furthermore, the allowance for loan losses was sensitive to management’s assumptions regarding future loan losses.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s allowance for loan losses process. For example, we tested controls over management’s review of the static pool analyses, including the significant inputs to the analyses and assumptions regarding future loan losses.

To test the allowance for loan losses, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing the methodologies used, evaluating the assumptions regarding future loan losses as discussed above, and testing the completeness and accuracy of the static pool analyses, including the significant inputs to the analyses. For example, we agreed inputs to the static pool analyses to historical data and source documentation. We also compared the assumptions regarding future loan losses to the Company’s historical and current loan loss data and performed a retrospective review of prior analyses. We involved real estate subject matter resources because the static pool analyses are unique to companies in the real estate time-sharing industry.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation

Opinion on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation (a Florida corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), and our report dated March 1, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion.

Basis for opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical audit matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Allowance for loan losses

As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, for sales of vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) for which the Company provides financing, the Company records an estimate of variable consideration for expected loan losses as a reduction of the transaction price. The Company’s estimates of variable consideration are based on projected default rates that are the result of a static pool analysis, which relies on historical payment data for similar VOI notes receivable, and tracks uncollectible loans for each period’s sales over the entire life of the VOI notes receivable. A further qualitative analysis is performed by the Company which considers whether any economic, market or portfolio specific conditions exist that may indicate an adjustment is necessary to properly reflect the impact on the allowance for loan losses. We identified the determination of the allowance for loan losses as a critical audit matter.

74


Auditing the allowance for loan losses was challenging given the significant and complex judgement required to accurately predict future losses over the life of the VOI notes receivable, including the determination of whether any qualitative adjustments are necessary.

Our audit procedures related to the allowance for loan losses included the following, among others.

We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s allowance for loan losses on VOI notes receivable process, including controls over management’s review of the static pool analysis, as well as the data and assumptions utilized in applying the static pool analysis.

We tested management’s process for determining the allowance as follows:

oWe tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying historical loss data used by the Company in the static pool analysis.

oWe compared the projected default rates from the static pool analysis to historical and current default rates.

oWe evaluated qualitative adjustments made to the allowance, which included assessing the basis for those adjustments and the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used.

oWe performed a retrospective review of the prior year allowance to evaluate the reliability of the Company’s estimates of future defaults.

BLUEGREEN VACATIONS HOLDING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  

1. Organization

Our Business

Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation (formerly BBX Capital Corporation) and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Florida-based holding company. Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation as a standalone entity without its subsidiaries is referred to as “BVH”.

On September 30, 2020, the Company completed its spin-off of BBX Capital, Inc. (“BBX Capital”). The former wholly owned subsidiary of the Company became a separate public company as a result of the spin-off and holds all of the historical business and investments of the Company other than the Company’s investment in Bluegreen Vacations Corporation (“Bluegreen”). Bluegreen is a leading vacation ownership company that markets and sells VOIs and manages resorts in popular leisure and urban destinations. As a result of the spin-off, all of the Company’s operations and activities relate to the operations and activities of Bluegreen. BBX Capital and its subsidiaries are presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s financial statements.

In connection with the spin-off, the Company’s name was changed from BBX Capital Corporation to Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation. The Company also issued a $75.0 million note payable (of which $50.0 million remained outstanding at December 31, 2021) to BBX Capital that accrues interest at a rate of 6% per annum and requires payments of interest on a quarterly basis. Under the terms of the note, the Company has the option in its discretion to defer interest payments under the note, with interest on the entire outstanding balance thereafter to accrue at a cumulative, compounded rate of 8% per annum until such time as the Company is current on all accrued payments under the note, including deferred interest. All remaining outstanding amounts under the note will become due and payable in September 2025 or earlier upon certain other events.

Prior to May 5, 2021, the Company owned approximately 93% of Bluegreen’s outstanding common stock. On May 5, 2021, the Company acquired all of the approximately 7% of the outstanding shares of Bluegreen’s common stock not previously owned by the Company through a statutory short-form merger under Florida law. In connection with the merger, Bluegreen’s shareholders (other than the Company) received 0.51 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for each share of Bluegreen’s common stock that they held at the effective time of the merger (subject to rounding up of fractional shares). The Company issued approximately 2.66 million shares of its Class A Common Stock in connection with the merger. As a result of the completion of the merger, Bluegreen became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and its common stock was no longer publicly traded.

Bluegreen is a leading vacation ownership company that markets and sells vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) and manages resorts in popular leisure and urban destinations. Bluegreen’s resorts are primarily located in high-volume, “drive-to” vacation locations, including Orlando, Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach, Charleston and New Orleans, among others. The resorts in which we market, sell, and manage VOIs were either developed or acquired by the Company, or were developed and are owned by third parties. The Company earns fees for providing sales and marketing services to third party developers and also earns fees for providing management services to the Bluegreen Vacation Club (“Vacation Club”) and homeowners’ associations (“HOAs”), mortgage servicing, VOI title services, reservation services, and construction design and development services. In addition, the Company provides financing to qualified VOI purchasers, which generates significant interest income.

The Company’s operations and activities have been materially adversely impacted by the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic as discussed further below under Note 2 and elsewhere herein.

Stock Split

In July 2020, the Company effected a one-for-five reverse split of its Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. In connection with the reverse stock split, the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Class A Common

83


Stock was reduced from 150,000,000 shares to 30,000,000 shares, and the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock was reduced from 20,000,000 shares to 4,000,000 shares. The share and per share amounts included in this report, including the accompanying consolidated financial statements, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the one-for-five reverse stock split as if it had occurred as of the earliest period presented.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic caused an unprecedented disruption in the U.S. and global economies and the industries in which the Company operates due to, among other things, government ordered “shelter in place” and “stay at home” orders and advisories, travel restrictions, and restrictions on business operations, including government guidance with respect to travel, public accommodations, social gatherings, and related matters. These disruptions and the reaction of the general public to the pandemic had a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and operations throughout 2020, including, without limitation, due to the temporary closure beginning in March 2020 of all of Bluegreen’s VOI sales centers, its retail marketing operations at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s stores and outlet malls, and its Choice Hotels call transfer program, Bluegreen’s cancellation of existing owner reservations through May 15, 2020 and new prospect guest tours through June 30, 2020, and the temporary closure of certain of Bluegreen’s Club Resorts and Club Associate Resorts in accordance with government mandates and advisories. While adverse conditions continued during 2021, including due to the emergence of new variants such as the Delta variant and Omicron variant which emerged as a variant of concern during the fourth quarter of 2021, Bluegreen’s business and results generally improved during 2021.

Status of Current Operations 

As of December 31, 2021, Bluegreen was operating marketing kiosks at 128 Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s stores, including 28 new Cabela’s locations and 2 new Bass Pro locations opened during the year ended December 31, 2021; the Choice Hotels call transfer program was close to pre-pandemic volume; and all of Bluegreen’s VOI sales centers and resorts were open, except for one resort and sales center in Surfside, Florida which was closed due to conditions unrelated to the pandemic.  Further, resort occupancy rates were approximately 81% at resorts with sales centers for the year ended December 31, 2021 and we sold approximately 211,000 vacation packages in 2021 compared to approximately 132,000 in 2020. Bluegreen’s pipeline of vacation packages was 187,200 at December 31, 2021 compared to 121,900 at December 31, 2020, which we believe reflected the impact of the temporary cessation of marketing activities at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

2. Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, other entities in which the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries hold controlling financial interests, and any variable interest entities (“VIEs) in which the Company or one of its consolidated subsidiaries deemed the primary beneficiary of the VIE. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires it to make estimates based on assumptions about current and, for some estimates, future economic and market conditions which affect reported amounts and related disclosures in its financial statements. Although the Company’s current estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, actual conditions could differ from its expectations, which could materially affect its results of operations and financial position. In particular, a number of estimates have been and will continue to be affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The severity, magnitude and duration, as well as the economic consequences of, the COVID-19 pandemic are uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict. As a result, accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time in response to the impact of COVID-19.

84


Such changes could result in, among other adjustments, future impairments of intangibles and long-lived assets, incremental loan losses on VOI notes receivable, an increase in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, or an increase in other obligations as of the time of a relevant measurement event. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those that relate to the estimated future sales value of inventory; the recognition of revenue; the allowance for loan losses; the recovery of the carrying value of real estate inventories; the fair value of assets measured at, or compared to, fair value on a non-recurring basis such as intangible assets and other long-lived assets; the estimate of contingent liabilities related to litigation and other claims and assessments; and deferred income taxes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash in excess of the Company’s immediate operating requirements are generally invested in cash equivalents, such as short-term time deposits and money market instruments, with original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at various financial institutions. These financial institutions are located throughout the United States and in Aruba. However, a significant portion of the Company’s unrestricted cash is maintained with a single bank and, accordingly, the Company is subject to credit risk. Periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of financial institutions maintaining the Company’s deposits are performed to evaluate and, if necessary, take actions in an attempt to mitigate credit risk.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists primarily of customer deposits held in escrow accounts and cash collected on pledged/secured notes receivable not yet remitted to lenders.

Revenue Recognition

Sales of VOIs. Revenue is recognized for sales of VOIs after control of the VOI is deemed transferred to the customer, which is when the legal rescission period has expired on a binding executed VOI sales agreement and the collectability of the note receivable from the buyer, if any, is probable. Transfer of control of the VOI to the buyer is deemed to occur when the legal rescission period expires as the risk and rewards associated with VOI ownership are transferred to the buyer at that time. The Company records customer deposits from contracts within the legal rescission period in restricted cash and escrow deposits in its consolidated balance sheets as such amounts are refundable until the legal rescission period has expired. In cases where construction and development of developed resorts has not been completed, the Company defers all of the revenue and associated expenses for the sales of VOIs until construction is complete and the resort may be occupied. Our contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, where applicable, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price.

The Company generally offers qualified purchasers financing for up to 90% of the purchase price of VOIs. The typical financing provides for a term of ten years and a fixed interest rate, is fully amortizing in equal installments and may be prepaid without penalty. For sales of VOIs for which it provides financing, the Company reduces the transaction price for expected loan losses, which it considers to be variable consideration. The Company’s estimates of the variable consideration are based on the results of its static pool analysis, which relies on historical payment data for similar VOI notes receivable. Policies regarding the estimation of variable consideration on notes receivable are discussed in further detail under “Notes Receivable” below. VOI Sales where no financing was provided do not have any significant payment terms.

Fee-based sales commission revenue. The Company enters into arrangements with third-party developers to sell VOIs through its sales and marketing platform for which it earns a commission. Commission revenue is recognized to the extent that, it is probable that a significant reversal of such revenue will not occur and the related consumer rescission

85


period has expired. Commission revenue is recognized as the third-party developer receives and consumes the benefits of these services.

Other fee-based services revenue and cost reimbursements. Revenue in connection with other fee-based services (which are described below) is recognized as follows:

Resort and club management revenue is recognized as services are rendered. These services provided to the resort HOAs are comprised of day-to-day services to operate the resort, including management, housekeeping, and maintenance, as well as certain accounting and administrative functions. Management services provided to the Vacation Club include managing the reservation system and providing owner, billing and collection services. Our management contracts are typically structured as cost-plus with an initial term of three years and automatic one year renewals. The Company believes these services to be a series of distinct goods and services to be accounted for as a single performance obligation over time and recognize revenue as the customer receives the benefits of its services. The Company allocates variable consideration to the distinct good or service within the series, such that revenue from management fees and cost reimbursements is recognized in each period as the uncertainty with respect to such variable consideration is resolved.

Cost reimbursements are received for performing day to day management services, based on agreements with the HOAs. These costs primarily consist of payroll and payroll related costs for management of the HOAs and other services provided where we are the employer. Cost reimbursements are based upon actual expenses and are billed to the HOA on a monthly basis. The Company recognizes cost reimbursements when they incur the related reimbursable costs as the HOA receives and consumes the benefits of the management services.

Resort title fee revenue is recognized when escrow amounts are released and title documents are completed.

Rental revenue is recognized on a daily basis which is consistent with the period for which the customer benefits from such service.

Mortgage servicing revenue is recognized as services are rendered.

Fees received in advance are generally included in deferred income in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets until such time as the related service is rendered and revenue is recognized as stated above.

Under timeshare accounting rules, rental operations, including accommodations provided through the use of the sampler program, are accounted for as incidental operations whereby incremental carrying costs in excess of incremental revenue are expensed as incurred. Revenue from the sampler program is deferred and recognized as guests complete stays at the resorts. During each of the years presented, the Company’s aggregate rental and sampler operating profit was less than the aggregate carrying cost of its VOI inventory. Accordingly, it recorded such profit as a reduction to the carrying cost of VOI inventory, which is included in cost of other fee-based services in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for each year.

Interest Income. The Company provides financing for a significant portion of sales of its owned VOIs. It recognizes interest income from financing VOI sales on the accrual method as earned based on the outstanding principal balance, interest rate and terms stated in each individual financing agreement. See “Notes Receivable” below for further discussion of the policies applicable to VOI notes receivable.

Notes Receivable

The Company’s notes receivable are carried at amortized cost less an allowance for loan losses. Interest income is suspended, and previously accrued but unpaid interest income is reversed, on all delinquent notes receivable when principal or interest payments are more than 90 days contractually past due and not resumed until such loans are less than 90 days past due. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, $16.3 million and $24.0 million, respectively, of VOI notes receivable were more than 90 days past due, and accordingly, consistent with the Company’s policy, were not accruing interest income. After approximately 127 days, VOI notes receivable are generally written off against the allowance for loan loss.

To the extent the Company determines that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized may occur, it records an estimate of variable consideration as a reduction to the transaction price of the sales of VOIs

86


until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Variable consideration which has not been included within transaction price is presented as an allowance for loan loss. Estimates of the variable consideration are based on the results of its static pool analysis, which relies on historical payment data for similar VOI notes receivable and tracks uncollectibles for each period’s sales over the entire life of the notes. The Company also considers whether historical economic conditions are comparable to then current economic conditions, as well as variations in underwriting standards. Revisions to estimate of variable consideration from the sale of VOIs impacts the loan loss reserve and can increase or decrease revenue. The Company reviews its estimate of variable consideration on at least a quarterly basis. Loan origination costs are deferred and recognized over the life of the related notes receivable.

VOI Inventory

VOI inventory consists of completed VOIs, VOIs under construction and land held for future VOI development. Completed VOI inventory is carried at the lower of  (i) cost, including costs of improvements and amenities incurred subsequent to acquisition, capitalized interest, real estate taxes and other costs incurred during construction, or (ii) estimated fair market value, less costs to sell. VOI inventory and cost of sales are accounted for under timeshare accounting rules, which require the use of a specific method of the relative sales value method for relieving VOI inventory and recording cost of sales. Under the relative sales value method required by timeshare accounting rules, cost of sales is calculated as a percentage of net sales using a cost-of-sales percentage - the ratio of total estimated development costs to total estimated VOI revenue, including the estimated incremental revenue from the resale of VOI inventory repossessed, generally as a result of the default of the related receivable. In addition, pursuant to timeshare accounting rules, the Company does not relieve inventory for VOI cost of sales related to anticipated loan losses. Accordingly, no adjustment is made when inventory is reacquired upon default of the related receivable. Changes in estimates within the relative sales value calculation are accounted for as VOI inventory true-ups and are included in Cost of VOI sales in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations to retrospectively adjust the margin previously recognized subject to those estimates.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at acquisition cost. The Company records depreciation and amortization in a manner that recognizes the cost of its depreciable assets over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the terms of the underlying leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The Company capitalizes the costs of software developed for internal use in accordance with the guidance for accounting for costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use. Capitalization of software developed for internal use commences during the development phase of the project and ends when the asset is ready for its intended use. Software developed or obtained for internal use is generally amortized on a straight-line basis over 3 to 5 years and included within property and equipment on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Capitalized costs of software developed for internal use for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 were $3.0 million, $3.5 million, and $9.6 million respectively. Costs of internal development time and the costs of software under cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts are capitalized and included in prepaids on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Costs of these service contracts are amortized over the life of the contract and included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Unamortized capital costs of software service contracts totaled $1.4 million and $1.8 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amortization expense from these service contracts for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, were $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist primarily of indefinite-lived management contracts recognized upon the consolidation of Bluegreen in November 2009 upon the acquisition of a controlling interest in Bluegreen at that time. Management contracts are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company did not record any impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 or 2019.

87


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amounts of its long-lived assets under the guidelines of ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”), which provides guidance relating to the accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The Company reviews the carrying amounts of the Company’s long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company assesses impairment by comparing the undiscounted cash flows of the assets to their carrying amounts. If estimated cash flows are insufficient to recover the investment, an impairment loss is recognized to write-down the carrying value of the asset to the estimated fair value.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are comprised of costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing from third-party lenders and are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as other assets or as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. These costs are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the terms of the related financing arrangements. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, unamortized deferred financing costs totaled $10.7 million and $13.7 million, respectively. Interest expense from the amortization of deferred financing costs for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 was $3.3 million, $3.5 million and $4.8 million, respectively.

Advertising Expense

The Company expenses advertising costs, which are primarily marketing costs, as incurred. Advertising expense was $151.5 million, $97.0 million, and $146.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Bluegreen has entered into marketing arrangements with various third parties. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, sales of VOIs to prospects and leads generated by Bluegreen’s marketing agreement with Bass Pro accounted for approximately 19%, 12% and 13%, respectively, of total VOI sales volume. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to maintain this agreement in accordance with its terms or extend or renew this agreement on similar terms, or at all, nor is there any assurance that Bluegreen’s business relationship with Bass Pro under the revised terms of Bluegreen’s marketing agreement entered into in June 2019 will be as profitable as under the prior terms, or at all. See Note 12: Commitments and Contingencies for a description of the revised terms of Bluegreen’s marketing agreement with Bass Pro.

Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated U.S. Federal and Florida income tax return. Other than Florida, the Company and its subsidiaries file separate or unitary state income tax returns for each jurisdiction. Subsidiaries in which the Company owns less than 80% of the outstanding equity are not included in its consolidated U.S. Federal or Florida state income tax return.

The provision for income taxes is based on income before taxes reported for financial statement purposes after adjustment for transactions that do not have tax consequences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized according to the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates as of the date of the statement of financial condition. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is reflected in the period that includes the statutory enactment date. A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded when it has been determined that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized.  If a valuation allowance is recorded, a subsequent change in circumstances that causes a change in judgment about the realization of the related deferred tax amount could result in the reversal of the deferred tax valuation allowance.



An uncertain tax position is defined as a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return that is not based on clear and unambiguous tax law and which is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for interim or annual periods. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it believes

88


that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits recognized based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests reflect third parties’ ownership interests in entities that are consolidated in the Company’s financial statements but are less than 100% owned by the Company. Noncontrolling interests are recognized as equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and presented separately from the equity attributable to its shareholders.

The amounts of consolidated net income and comprehensive income attributable to the Company’s shareholders and noncontrolling interests are separately presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Accounting for Loss Contingencies

Loss contingencies, including those arising from legal actions, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share but also reflects potential dilution that could occur if restricted stock awards issued by the Company were vested. Restricted stock awards, if dilutive, are considered in the weighted average number of dilutive common shares outstanding.



Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation cost for unvested restricted stock awards is based on the fair value of the award on the measurement date, which is generally the grant date, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally four to ten years for unvested restricted stock awards with forfeitures recognized as incurred. The fair value of unvested restricted stock awards is generally determined based on the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

The FASB has issued the following accounting pronouncement and guidance relevant to the Company’s operations which had not yet been adopted as of December 31, 2021:

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effect of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of LIBOR in response to the Financial Conduct Authority (the regulatory authority over LIBOR) plan for a phase out of regulatory oversight of LIBOR interest rate indices after 2021 to allow for an orderly transition to an alternate reference rate. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) has proposed that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) is the rate that represents best practice as the alternative to LIBOR for promissory notes or other contracts that are currently indexed to LIBOR. The ARRC has proposed a market transition plan to SOFR from LIBOR and organizations are currently working on transition plans as it relates to derivatives and cash markets indexed to LIBOR. Although the Company’s VOIs notes receivable from its borrowers are not indexed to LIBOR, as of December 31, 2021, the Company had $170.9 million of LIBOR indexed junior subordinated debentures, $74.8 million of LIBOR indexed receivable-backed notes payable and lines of credit and $98.1 million of LIBOR indexed lines of credit and notes payable (which are not receivable-backed)Companies can apply ASU 2020-04 immediately. However, the guidance will only be available for a limited time, generally through December 31, 2022. The Company has not yet adopted this standard and is evaluating the potential impact that the eventual

89


replacement of the LIBOR benchmark interest rate could have on its results of operations, liquidity and consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had commission receivables, net of an allowance, of $17.4 million and $10.0 million, respectively, related to sales of third-party VOIs, which are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Commission receivables relate to contracts with customers including amounts associated with the Company’s contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations and are settled when the related cash is received. Commission receivables are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional and is only contingent on the passage of time.

Contract liabilities include payments received or due in advance of satisfying performance obligations. Such contract liabilities include points awarded to customers for purchase of VOIs that may be redeemed in the future, advance deposits on owner programs for future services, and deferred revenue on prepaid vacation packages for future stays at the Company’s resorts. Both points incentives and owner programs are recognized upon redemption and deferred revenue for vacation packages are recognized net of sales of marketing expenses upon customer stays.

The Company monitors the credit quality of its receivables on an ongoing basis. The Company holds large amounts of homogeneous VOI notes receivable and assesses uncollectibility based on pools of receivables as we do not believe that there are significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty or groups of counterparties. In estimating loan losses, we do not use a single primary indicator of credit quality but instead evaluate our VOI notes receivable based upon a static pool analysis that incorporates the aging of the respective receivables, default trends and prepayment rates by origination year, as well as the FICO scores of the borrowers. The Company records the difference between its VOI notes receivable and the variable consideration included in the transaction price for the sale of the related VOI as an allowance for loan losses and records the VOI notes receivables net of the allowance.

During 2020, the Company recorded an additional allowance of $12.0 million which included our estimate at that time of customer defaults as a result of changing economic factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have an impact on the collectability of our VOI notes receivable. We continue to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our default and delinquency rates as the current situation is highly uncertain. Our estimate may not prove to be correct and our allowance for loan losses may not prove to be adequate.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, $16.3 million and $24.0 million, respectively, of our VOI notes receivable were more than 90 days past due, and accordingly, consistent with our policy, were not accruing interest income. After approximately 127 days past due, VOI notes receivable are generally written off against the allowance for loan loss. Accrued interest was $4.4 million and $3.9 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and is included within other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets herein.

These VOI notes receivable have been reflected in the allowance for loan losses.

  

5. Variable Interest Entities

The Company sells VOI notes receivable through special purpose finance entities. These transactions are generally structured as non-recourse to Bluegreen and are designed to provide liquidity and to transfer the economic risks and benefits of the notes receivable to third parties. In a securitization, various classes of debt securities are issued by the special purpose finance entities that are generally collateralized by a single tranche of transferred assets, which consist of VOI notes receivable. Bluegreen services the securitized notes receivable for a fee pursuant to servicing agreements negotiated with third parties based on market conditions at the time of the securitization.

In these securitizations, the Company generally retains a portion of the securities and continues to service the securitized notes receivable. Under these arrangements, the cash payments received from obligors on the receivables sold are generally applied monthly to pay fees to service providers, make interest and principal payments to investors, and fund required reserves, if any, with the remaining balance of such cash retained by the Company; however, to the extent the portfolio of receivables fails to satisfy specified performance criteria (as may occur due to, among other things, an increase in default rates or credit loss severity) or other trigger events occur, the funds received from obligors are required to be distributed on an accelerated basis to investors. Depending on the circumstances and the transaction, the application of the accelerated payment formula may be permanent or temporary until the trigger event is cured.

93


As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, Bluegreen was in compliance with all material terms under its securitization transactions, and no trigger events had occurred.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance for the consolidation of VIEs, the Company analyzes its variable interests, which may consist of loans, servicing rights, guarantees, and equity investments, to determine if an entity in which it has a variable interest is a VIE. The analysis includes a review of both quantitative and qualitative factors. The Company bases its quantitative analysis on the forecasted cash flows of the entity, and it bases its qualitative analysis on the structure of the entity, including its decision-making ability and authority with respect to the entity, and relevant financial agreements. The Company also uses its qualitative analysis to determine if it must consolidate a VIE as the primary beneficiary. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company has determined these securitization entities to be VIEs of which it is the primary beneficiary and, therefore, the entities are consolidated into the Company’s financial statements.

Under the terms of certain VOI notes receivable sales, the Company has the right to repurchase or substitute a limited amount of defaulted notes for new notes at the outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest. Voluntary repurchases and substitutions of defaulted notes during 2021, 2020 and 2019 were $14.6 million, $14.5 million and $11.5 million, respectively. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss relating to its non-recourse securitization entities is the difference between the outstanding VOI notes receivable and the notes payable, plus cash reserves and any additional residual interest in future cash flows from collateral.

7. Leases

The Company is the lessee under various operating leases for certain sales offices, call centers, office space, equipment and vehicles. Some leases include one or more options to renew, at the Company’s discretion, for renewal terms of one year or more. Certain of the Company’s lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of sales generated at the location, and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants which the Company believes to be material.

94


The Company recognizes operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities associated with lease agreements with an initial term of 12 months or greater, while lease agreements with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company generally does not include lease payments associated with renewal options, including those that are exercisable at its discretion, in the measurement of its operating lease assets and liabilities as it is not reasonably certain that such options will be exercised. The table below sets forth information regarding the Company’s lease agreements with an initial term of greater than 12 months (dollars in thousands):

(1)The Company’s weighted average lease term excludes two real estate leases that expire in December 2034 and May 2056.

(2)As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. To estimate incremental borrowing rates, the Company considers various factors, including the rates applicable to the Company’s recently issued debt and credit facilities and prevailing financial market conditions.

The Company generally recognizes lease costs associated with its operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term, while variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are recognized as variable lease costs in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. The table below sets forth information regarding the Company’s lease costs, which are included as selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented (in thousands):

NBA Éilan Loan. In April 2018, Bluegreen purchased the Éilan Hotel & Spa in San Antonio, Texas for $34.3 million. In connection with the acquisition, Bluegreen entered into a non-revolving acquisition loan (the “NBA Éilan Loan”) with NBA, which provided for advances of up to $27.5 million, $24.3 million of which was used to fund the acquisition of the resort and $2.1 million of which was used to fund certain improvement costs. In March 2021, the then-outstanding balance of $15.6 million on the NBA Éilan Loan was repaid in full.

Fifth Third Syndicated Line-of-Credit and Fifth Third Syndicated Term Loan. Bluegreen’s Corporate Credit Facility includes a $100.0 million term loan (the “Fifth Third Syndicated Loan”) with quarterly amortization requirements and a $125.0 million revolving line of credit (the “Fifth Third Syndicated Line-of-Credit”). In February 2022, Bluegreen amended and increased the Corporate Credit Facility to $300.0 million. The amended facility includes a $100.0 million term loan with quarterly amortization requirements and a $200.0 million revolving line of credit. Accordingly, the amendment and restatement increased the revolving line of credit by $75.0 million. Borrowings, including amounts outstanding prior to the amendment and restatement and future borrowings, generally bear interest at a rate of term SOFR plus 1.75-2.50% and a 0.05%-0.10% credit spread adjustment, depending on Bluegreen’s leverage ratio (as compared to LIBOR plus 2.00%-2.50% with a 0.25% LIBOR floor under the terms of the facility prior to the amendment and restatement). The amendment also extended the maturity date from October 2024 to February 2027. Fifth Third Bank acts as administrative agent, lead arranger, and participating lender. In addition, certain other banks participate as lenders. Borrowings are collateralized by certain VOI inventory, sales center buildings, management fees, short-term receivables and cash flows from residual interests relating to certain term securitizations.

As described in further detail below, the amendment among other things, also increased the advance rates, decreased the interest rate on future borrowings, and decreased the recourse amount. The advance rate with respect to Qualified Timeshare Loans is 85% (an increase from the 80% advance rate in place prior to the August 2021 amendment) of the unpaid principal balance of the Qualified Timeshare Loans. The advance rate is 70% (an increase from the 60% advance rate in place prior to the August 2021 amendment) of the unpaid principal balance of Non-Conforming Qualified Timeshare Loans. The interest rate on borrowings incurred following the August 2021 amendment is the Prime Rate minus 0.50% with a floor of 3.00%. Recourse to Bluegreen under the amended facility is limited to $5.0 million, with certain exceptions set forth in the facility. Subject to the terms of the

Recourse to Bluegreen under the facility is limited to $7.5 million at December 31, 2021. Subject to the terms of the facility, principal and interest payments received on pledged receivables are applied to principal and interest due under the facility, with the remaining balance being due by maturity.

Bluegreen has an $80.0 million VOI notes receivable purchase facility (the “KeyBank/DZ Purchase Facility”) with DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank, Frankfurt AM Main (“DZ”), and KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) which provides for an advance rate of 80% with respect to VOI receivables securing amounts financed. The KeyBank/DZ Purchase Facility’s advance period expires in December 2022 and will mature and all outstanding amounts will become due 24 months after the revolving advance period has expired, or earlier under certain circumstances set forth in the facility. Interest on amounts outstanding under the facility is tied to an applicable index rate of the LIBOR rate, in the case of amounts funded by KeyBank, and a cost of funds rate or commercial paper rates, in the case of amounts funded by or through DZ. The interest rate under the facility is the applicable index rate plus 2.25% (with an interest rate floor of 0.25%) until the expiration of the revolving advance period and thereafter will equal the applicable index rate plus 3.25% (with an interest rate floor of 0.25%). While ownership of the VOI notes receivable included in the facility is transferred and sold for legal purposes, the transfer of these VOI notes receivable is accounted for as a secured borrowing for financial reporting purposes.

Other Non-Recourse Receivable-Backed Notes Payable. In addition to the above described facilities, Bluegreen has a number of other nonrecourse receivable-backed notes payable facilities, as set forth in the table above. During 2021 and 2020, Bluegreen repaid $57.9 million and $67.8 million, respectively, under these additional receivable-backed notes payable facilities.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

Woodbridge Holdings Corporation (“Woodbridge”), the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company through which the Company holds its investment in Bluegreen, and Bluegreen have each formed statutory business trusts (collectively, the "Trusts"), each of which issued trust preferred securities as part of a larger pooled trust securities offering which was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and invested the proceeds thereof in its junior subordinated debentures. The Trusts are variable interest entities in which Woodbridge and Bluegreen are not the primary beneficiaries. Accordingly, the Company and its subsidiaries do not consolidate the operations of the Trusts; instead, the beneficial interests in the Trusts are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The maximum exposure to loss as a result of Woodbridge and Bluegreen’s involvement with the Trusts is limited to the carrying amount of the equity method investment. Included in other assets in the Company’s balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of equity in the Trusts. Interest on the junior subordinated debentures and distributions on the trust preferred securities are payable quarterly in arrears at the same interest rate.

Note payable to BBX Capital, Inc.

In connection with its spin-off of BBX Capital in September 2020, the Company issued a $75.0 million note payable to BBX Capital that accrues interest at a rate of 6% per annum and requires payments of interest on a quarterly basis. Under the terms of the note, we have the option in our discretion to defer interest payments under the note, with interest on the outstanding balance thereafter to accrue at a compounded rate of 8% per annum until such time as the Company is current on all accrued payments under the note, including deferred interest. In December 2021, the Company repaid $25.0 million of the note payable to BBX Capital, leaving a remaining balance as of December 31, 2021 of $50.0 million. All outstanding amounts under the note will become due and payable in September 2025 or earlier upon certain events. As of December 31, 2021, there was no accrued interest payable in connection with this note payable.

11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The inputs used to measure fair value are classified into the following hierarchy:

Level 1:

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2:

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation Matters

In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to lawsuits as plaintiff or defendant involving its operations and activities including the purchase, sale, marketing, or financing of VOIs. Additionally, from time to time in the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in disputes with existing and former employees, vendors, taxing jurisdictions, and other individuals and entities, and it also receives individual consumer complaints as well as complaints received through regulatory and consumer agencies, including Offices of State Attorneys General. The Company takes these matters seriously and attempts to resolve any such issues as they arise. The Company may also become subject to litigation related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including with respect to any actions the Company takes as a result thereof.

Reserves are accrued for matters in which management believes it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe that the aggregate liability relating to known contingencies in excess of the aggregate amounts accrued will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the actual costs of resolving legal claims, including awards of damages, may be substantially higher than the amounts accrued for these claims and may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Management is not at this time able to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses with respect to matters in which it is reasonably possible that a loss will occur. In certain matters, management is unable to estimate the loss or reasonable range of loss until additional developments provide information sufficient to support an assessment of the loss or range of loss. Frequently in these matters, the claims are broad and the plaintiffs have not quantified or factually supported their claim.

Litigation

The following is a description of certain material legal proceedings pending against the Company or its subsidiaries:

On September 22, 2017, Stephen Potje, Tamela Potje, Sharon Davis, Beafus Davis, Matthew Baldwin, Tammy Baldwin, Arnor Lee, Angela Lee, Gretchen Brown, Paul Brown, Jeremy Estrada, Emily Estrada, Michael Oliver, Carrie Oliver, Russell Walters, Elaine Walters, and Mike Ericson, individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated, filed a purported class action lawsuit against Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited (“BVU”), Bluegreen’s wholly owned subsidiary, which asserts claims for alleged violations of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and the Florida False Advertising Law. In the complaint, the plaintiffs alleged the making of false representations in connection with Bluegreen’s sales of VOIs. The purported class action lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice after mediation. However, during April 2018, plaintiffs re-filed their individual claims in Palm Beach County Circuit Court. Subsequently, on October 15, 2019, the Court entered an order granting summary judgment in favor of Bluegreen and dismissed all claims. Plaintiffs appealed the summary judgement order. An agreement was subsequently reached to settle all claims, which will include payment to Bluegreen on behalf of all but one Plaintiff. A Joint Notice of Settlement was filed with the appellate court advising of the settlement and the Plaintiffs subsequently filed a voluntary Notice of Dismissal of Appeal.

On June 28, 2018, Melissa S. Landon, Edward P. Landon, Shane Auxier and Mu Hpare, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a purported class action lawsuit against Bluegreen and Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc. (“BVU”), Bluegreen’s wholly owned subsidiary, asserting claims for alleged violations of the Wisconsin Timeshare Act, Wisconsin law prohibiting illegal referral selling, and Wisconsin law prohibiting illegal attorney’s fee provisions. Plaintiffs’ allegations include that Bluegreen failed to disclose the identity of the seller of real property at the beginning of Bluegreen’s initial contact with the purchaser; that the defendants misrepresented who the seller of the real property was; that the defendants misrepresented the buyer’s right to cancel; that the defendants included an illegal attorney’s fee provision in the sales document(s); offered an illegal “today only” incentive to purchase; and that the defendants utilized an illegal referral selling program to induce the sale of VOIs. Plaintiffs seek certification of a class consisting of all persons who, in Wisconsin, purchased from BVU one or more VOIs within six years prior to the filing of this lawsuit. Plaintiffs seek statutory damages, attorneys’ fees and injunctive

104


relief. Bluegreen and BVU moved to dismiss the case, and on November 27, 2019, the Court issued a ruling granting the motion in part. Plaintiffs moved for class certification, which the defendants have opposed. On November 5, 2021, the Court denied Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification. Bluegreen believes the remainder of the lawsuit, which is proceeding on behalf of the named Plaintiffs only, is without merit and is vigorously defending the action.

On January 7, 2019, Shehan Wijesinha filed a purported class action lawsuit alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (the “TCPA”). It is alleged that BVU called plaintiff’s cell phone for telemarketing purposes using an automated dialing system, and that plaintiff did not give BVU his express written consent to do so. Plaintiffs seek certification of a class comprised of other persons in the United States who received similar calls from or on behalf of BVU without the person’s consent. Plaintiff seeks monetary damages, attorneys’ fees and injunctive relief. Bluegreen believes the lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the action. On July 15, 2019, the court entered an order staying this case pending a ruling from the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) clarifying the definition of an automatic telephone dialing system under the TCPA and the decision of the Eleventh Circuit in a separate action brought against a VOI company by a plaintiff alleging violations of the TCPA. On January 7, 2020, the Eleventh Circuit issued a ruling consistent with BVU’s position, and on June 26, 2020, the FCC also issued a favorable ruling. The case was stayed pending the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Facebook, Inc. v. Duguid. On April 1, 2021, the Supreme Court issued a decision in the Facebook case which was favorable to Bluegreen’s position that an automatic telephone dialing system was not used in this case. Bluegreen believes the ruling disposes of the plaintiff’s claim and filed a Notice of Supplemental Authority advising the court of the ruling.

On July 18, 2019, Eddie Boyd, et al. filed an action alleging that BVU and co-defendants violated the Missouri Merchandise Practices Act for allegedly making false statements and misrepresentations with respect to the sale of VOIs. Plaintiffs further have filed a purported class action allegation that BVU’s charging of an administrative processing fee constitutes the unauthorized practice of law, and have also asserted that Bluegreen and its outside counsel engaged in abuse of process by filing a lawsuit against plaintiffs’ counsel (The Montgomery Law Firm). Plaintiffs seek monetary damages, attorneys’ fees and injunctive relief. On August 31, 2020, the court certified a class regarding the unauthorized practice of law claim and dismissed the claims regarding abuse of process. On January 11, 2021, the Court issued an order that the class members are not entitled to rescission of their contracts because they failed to plead fraud in the inducement. Discovery is ongoing. Bluegreen believes the lawsuit is without merit, and is vigorously defending the action.

On July 14, 2020, Kenneth Johansen, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a purported class action against BVU for alleged violations of the TCPA. Specifically, the named plaintiff alleges that he received numerous telemarketing calls from BVU while he was on the National Do Not Call Registry. Bluegreen filed a motion to dismiss, and plaintiff in response filed an amended complaint on September 18, 2020. On February 18, 2021, plaintiff filed a motion for class certification seeking to certify a class of thousands of individual proposed class members. On April 15, 2021, a court-ordered mediation was conducted at which time the parties were not able to resolve the lawsuit. On September 30, 2021, the court entered an order denying plaintiff’s motion for class certification. The plaintiffs have appealed the order, and the district court entered an order staying the case pending the appeal. Bluegreen is vigorously defending the action.

On August 30, 2020, over 100 VOI owners at The Manhattan Club (“TMC”) sued BVU and certain unaffiliated entities (the “Non-Bluegreen Defendants”). The complaint includes claims arising out of alleged misrepresentations made during the sale of VOIs at TMC and certain post-sale operational practices, including allegedly charging owners excessive annual maintenance fees and implementing reservation policies that restrict the ability of VOI owners to use their points to access the resort while allowing the general public to make reservations. The plaintiffs assert in the complaint that Bluegreen acquired operational control of TMC from the Non-Bluegreen Defendants in 2018 and assumed joint liability for any prior wrongdoing by them. Bluegreen believes this assertion to be erroneous and that the claims against BVU are without merit. On September 27, 2021, the court granted BVU’s motion to dismiss without prejudice and the Court declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state law claims. On November 15, 2021, with leave of court, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, and BVU filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint.

On March 15, 2018, BVU entered into an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Assets with T. Park Central, LLC, O. Park Central, LLC, and New York Urban Ownership Management, LLC, (collectively “New York Urban”) (“Purchase and Sale Agreement”), which provided for the purchase of The Manhattan Club inventory over a number of years and

105


the management contract for The Manhattan Club Association, Inc. On October 7, 2019, New York Urban initiated arbitration proceedings against BVU alleging that The Manhattan Club Association, Inc. (of which BVU was a member) was obligated to pay an increased management fee to a New York Urban affiliate and that this higher amount would be the benchmark for BVU’s purchase of the management contract under the parties’ Purchase and Sale Agreement. New York Urban also sought damages in the arbitration proceedings in excess of $10.0 million for promissory estoppel and tortious interference.  On November 19, 2019, the parties participated in mediation but did not resolve the matter. On November 20, 2019, New York Urban sent a letter to BVU advising that it was: (1) withdrawing its arbitration demand; (2) notifying the Board that it was not seeking to execute the proposed amendment to the Management Agreement that was originally sent to Bluegreen on April 24, 2019; and (3) not going to pay itself a management fee for the 2020 operating year in an amount exceeding the 2019 operating year (i.e., $6.5 million). On November 21, 2019, BVU sent New York Urban a Notice of Termination of the Purchase and Sale Agreement. On November 25, 2019, New York Urban sent its own Notice of Termination and a separate letter containing an offer to compromise if BVU resigned its position on the Board and permitted New York Urban to enforce its rights to the collateral. On November 29, 2019, BVU accepted the offer and on December 18, 2019, BVU provided New York Urban with resignations of its members on the Board of Directors.

On April 2, 2021, New York Urban initiated new arbitration proceedings against BVU, alleging it is owed over $70.0 million for periodic inventory closings that have not occurred since the Purchase and Sale Agreement was terminated or that will not occur because of the termination. New York Urban also seeks over $50.0 million because, due to the Purchase and Sale Agreement’s termination, the closing on the management contract will not occur. BVU believes this claim is without merit and is pursuing declaratory relief and claims based on breach of the parties’ settlement agreement. Both New York Urban’s claims and BVU’s claims for declaratory relief and breach of the settlement agreement are being heard by an arbitration panel, and BVU is vigorously defending against New York Urban’s claims.

On September 14, 2021, Tamarah and Emmanuel Louis, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a purported class action lawsuit against BVU alleging it violated the Military Lending Act (“MLA”). The complaint alleges that BVU did not make any inquiry before offering financing to the plaintiffs as to whether they were members of the United States Military and allege other claims related to certain disclosures mandated by the MLA. BVU filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, and plaintiffs then filed an amended complaint on December 3, 2021. BVU believes that plaintiffs’ claims are without merit, has filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, and is vigorously defending the action.

Commencing in 2015, it came to Bluegreen’s attention that its collection efforts with respect to its VOI notes receivable were being impacted by a then emerging, industry-wide trend involving the receipt of “cease and desist” letters from exit firms and their attorneys purporting to represent certain VOI owners. Following receipt of these letters, Bluegreen is unable to contact the owners unless allowed by law. Bluegreen believes these exit firms have encouraged such owners to become delinquent and ultimately default on their obligations and that such actions and its inability to contact the owners have been a material factor in the increase in its annual default rates. Bluegreen’s average annual default rates have increased from 6.9% in 2015 to 8.4% in 2021. Bluegreen also estimates that approximately 12.8% of the total delinquencies on its VOI notes receivable as of December 31, 2021 related to VOI notes receivable are subject to this issue. Bluegreen has in a number of cases pursued, and Bluegreen may in the future pursue, legal action against the VOI owners, and as described below, against the exit firms.

On November 13, 2019, Bluegreen filed a lawsuit against timeshare exit firm The Montgomery Law Firm and certain of its affiliates. In the complaint, Bluegreen alleged that through various forms of deceptive advertising, as well as inappropriate direct contact with VOI owners, such firm and its affiliates made false statements about Bluegreen and provided misleading information to the VOI owners and encouraged nonpayment by consumers. Bluegreen believes the consumers are paying fees to the firm and its affiliates in exchange for illusory services. Bluegreen has asserted claims under the Lanham Act, as well as tortious interference with contractual relations, civil conspiracy to commit tortious interference and other claims. Defendants’ motion to dismiss was denied. In January 2022, Bluegreen entered into a settlement with several of the defendants, which includes an immaterial monetary payment and a stipulated injunction.

On November 13, 2020, Bluegreen filed a lawsuit against timeshare exit firm, Carlsbad Law Group, LLP, and certain of its associated law firms and affiliates. On December 30, 2020, Bluegreen filed a lawsuit against timeshare exit firm,

106


The Molfetta Law Firm, and certain of its associated law firms, affiliates, and cohorts, including Timeshare Termination (“TTT”). In both of these actions, Bluegreen makes substantially the same claims against the timeshare exit firms and its associated law firms and affiliates as those made in its action against The Montgomery Law Firm described above. In June 2021, counsel for TTT moved to withdraw, citing TTT’s insolvency. On October 1, 2021, the principals of TTT filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection. Bluegreen is pursuing its damages as a claim in that action. Discovery is ongoing with respect to the non-bankrupt defendants in the Molfetta matter and in the Carlsbad matter.

Other Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

The Company, indirectly through Bluegreen and BVU, has an exclusive marketing agreement through 2024 with Bass Pro, a nationally-recognized retailer of fishing, marine, hunting, camping and sports gear, that provides us with the right to market and sell vacation packages at kiosks in each of Bass Pro’s retail locations and through other means. Pursuant to a settlement agreement Bluegreen entered into with Bass Pro and its affiliates during June 2019, Bluegreen paid Bass Pro $20.0 million and agreed to, among other things, make five annual payments to Bass Pro of $4.0 million in January of each year, commencing in 2020. Bluegreen made annual payments of $4.0 million to Bass Pro in January 2020, January 2021, and December 2021. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, $7.3 million and $14.7 million, respectively, was included in accrued liabilities and other in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, for the remaining payments required by the settlement agreement.

During the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, VOI sales to prospects and leads generated by the agreement with Bass Pro accounted for approximately 19% and 12%, respectively, of Bluegreen’s VOI sales volume. Subject to the terms and conditions of the settlement agreement, Bluegreen entered into with Bass Pro and its affiliates during June 2019, Bluegreen paid Bass Pro $20.0 million and agreed to make five annual payments to Bass Pro of $4.0 million, which commenced in January 2020. Additionally, in lieu of the previous commission arrangement, Bluegreen agreed to pay Bass Pro a fixed annual fee of $70,000 for each Bass Pro and Cabela’s retail store that it is accessing (excluding sales at retail stores which are designated to provide tours to Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, or “Bluegreen/Big Cedar feeder stores”), plus $32.00 per net vacation package sold (less cancellations or refunds within 45 days of sale). Bluegreen also agreed to contribute to the Wonders of Wildlife Foundation $5.00 per net package sold (less certain cancellations and refunds within 45 days of sale), subject to an annual minimum of $700,000. Bluegreen will generally be required to pay the fixed annual fee with respect to at least 59 Bass Pro retail stores and at least 60 Cabela’s retail stores. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, Bluegreen incurred $7.4 million and $5.7 million, respectively, relating to this fixed fee which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). In December 2021, Bluegreen paid $8.3 million for the 2022 fixed fee, which is included in prepaid expenses in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum number of Bass Pro and Cabela’s retail stores for purposes of the fixed annual fee may be reduced under certain circumstances set forth in the agreement, including as a result of a reduction of traffic in the stores in excess of 25% year-over-year. As of December 31, 2021, Bluegreen had sales and marketing operations at a total of 128 Bass Pro and Cabela’s stores.

In lieu of paying maintenance fees for unsold VOI inventory, Bluegreen may enter into subsidy agreements with certain HOAs. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, Bluegreen made subsidy payments related to such subsidies of $24.9 million, $24.0 million, and $24.9 million, respectively, which are included within cost of other fee-based services in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $0.2 million accrued for such subsidies, which is included in accrued liabilities and other in the consolidated balance sheet as of such date. As of December 31, 2020, Bluegreen had no accrued liabilities for such subsidies.

Valuation Allowance on Deferred Tax Assets

The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets to determine if valuation allowances are required. In the evaluation, management considers net operating loss (“NOL”) carryback availability, expectations of sufficient future taxable income, trends in earnings, existence of taxable income in recent years, the future reversal of temporary differences, and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented, if required. Valuation allowances are established based on the consideration of all available evidence using a more likely than not standard. As of December 31, 2021, the Company established a valuation allowance of $80.8 million relating to the deferred tax asset of $88.7 million for federal and state NOL and tax credit carryforwards, as the Company’s ability to utilize a portion of these carryforwards to reduce future tax liability income is subject to significant limitations. The spin-off of BBX Capital and its subsidiaries during September 2020 reduced the Company’s federal and state NOL carryforward and valuation allowance by approximately $6.5 million. The table below sets forth information regarding the federal and state NOL and tax credit carryforwards and the applicable valuation allowance as of December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

The Company evaluated all positive and negative evidence available as of the reporting date, including tax planning strategies, the ability to file a consolidated return with its subsidiaries, the expected future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, and expected future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carry forwards. Based on this evaluation, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that it will be able to

109


realize $7.9 million of the deferred tax asset that is attributed to the Company’s federal and state NOL and credit carryforwards.

As of December 31, 2021, Bluegreen had non-Florida state NOL carryforwards of $221.0 million which expire from 2022 through 2041. These NOLs can only be utilized against Bluegreen’s (or a subsidiary of Bluegreen) income allocable to the state in which the NOL was generated. A valuation allowance is maintained for those state NOLs where the NOL is not more likely than not realizable.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had federal and Florida NOL carryforwards and federal tax credit carryforwards that can only be utilized if the separate entity that generated them has separate company taxable income (the “SRLY Limitation”). These carryforwards cannot be utilized against most of the Company’s subsidiaries’ taxable income, including Bluegreen. As such, a full valuation allowance has been established for these carryforwards.

In addition, as a result of the Company’s merger with Woodbridge in September 2009, the Company experienced a “change of ownership” as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code. This change of ownership resulted in a significant limitation on the amount of the Company’s pre-merger NOLs that can be utilized by the Company annually (the “Section 382 limitation”). The federal and Florida annual limit is approximately $788,000 and $513,000, respectively. As a result, the amounts in the table represent the NOLs that more likely than not can be utilized before expiration.

Impact of the Tax Reform Act

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Reform Act was signed into law. The Tax Reform Act repealed the alternative minimum tax effective in 2018 and allows credits associated with the alternative minimum tax to be applied to fully offset regular income taxes. Any credits that are not used to reduce regular income taxes were 50% refundable for the years 2019 through 2020 and 100% refundable in 2021. The Company had alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $11.2 million as of December 31, 2018 that were fully utilized during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Other

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Securities Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law on March 27, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has taken advantage of the deferral of the employer portion of the tax withholding amounts and the employee retention tax credits provided for in the CARES Act. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a tax withholding deferral of $8.7 million, of which $4.3 million remained payable at December 31, 2021 and was included in accrued liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets as of such date. The Company also recorded employee retention tax credits of $7.1 million, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in its consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The Company evaluates its tax positions based upon guidelines of ASC 740, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. Based on an evaluation of uncertain tax provisions, the Company is required to measure tax benefits based on the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2021, 2020 or 2019, and as of December 31, 2021, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties related to ASC 740-10.

The Company is no longer subject to federal or Florida income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2017. Several of the Company’s subsidiaries are no longer subject to income tax examinations in certain state, local, and non-U.S. jurisdictions for tax years before 2017.

Certain of the Company’s state income tax filings are under routine examination. While there is no assurance as to the results of these audits, the Company does not currently anticipate any material adjustments in connection with these examinations.

14. Equity

Common Stock

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorize the Company to issue both Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share. Under Florida law and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on most matters presented to a vote of the Company’s shareholders. On such matters, holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held, with all holders of Class A Common Stock possessing in the aggregate 22% of the total voting power, while holders of Class B Common Stock possess the remaining 78% of the total voting power. If the number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding decreases to 360,000 shares, the Class A Common Stock’s aggregate voting power will increase to 40%, and the Class B Common Stock will have the remaining 60%. If the number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding decreases to 280,000 shares, the Class A Common Stock’s aggregate voting power will increase to 53%, and the Class B Common Stock will have the remaining 47%. These relative voting percentages will remain fixed unless the number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding decreases to 100,000 shares or less, at which time the fixed voting percentages will be eliminated, and holders of Class A Common Stock and holders of Class B Common Stock would then each be entitled to one vote per share held. Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock at any time at the option of the holder. The percentage of total common equity represented by the Company’s Class A and Class B Common Stock was 82% and 18%, respectively, at December 31, 2021.

Share Repurchase Program

In June 2017, the Company’s board of directors approved a share repurchase program which authorized the repurchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock at an aggregate cost of up to $35.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company repurchased 645,778 shares of its Class A Common Stock for approximately $15.4 million. There were no share purchases under the 2017 repurchase program during the years ended December 31, 2021 or 2020, and this repurchase program was terminated in connection with the adoption of a new repurchase program in August 2021, as described below.

In August 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved a new share repurchase program which authorizes the repurchase of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock at an aggregate cost of up to $40.0 million. The Company repurchased and retired 1,182,339 shares of Class A Common Stock and 18,996 shares of Class B Common Stock during the year ended December 31, 2021 for an aggregate purchase price of $27.3 million. We record the excess of cost over par value to additional paid in capital in accordance with our policy. As of December 31, 2021, $12.7 million remained available for the repurchase of shares under this share repurchase program. In March 2022, the Company’s board of directors approved an increase in the aggregate cost of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock that may be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Plan by an additional $50 million.

Restricted Stock and Stock Option Plans

At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on July 21, 2021, the Company’s shareholders approved the Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation 2021 Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), which allows for the issuance of up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock pursuant to restricted stock awards and options which may be granted under the 2021 Plan.  The 2021 Plan also permits for the grant of performance-based cash awards. To date, 468,439 restricted shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock have been granted to certain executive officers and employees under the 2021 Plan, of which 7,969 shares were forfeited during 2021. As of December 31, 2021, 1,539,530 shares of Class A Common Stock remained available for grant under the 2021 Plan.

In contemplation of the spin-off of BBX Capital, the Company’s Compensation Committee approved the acceleration of vesting of 488,503 and 528,484 of unvested restricted Class A and Class B Common Stock awards under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), respectively, that were previously granted by the Company, all of which were held by its executive officers. In connection with such vesting acceleration in August 2020, the Company recognized compensation expense during 2020 of approximately $19.8 million (which represented the unrecognized compensation expenses associated with the restricted stock awards as of June 30, 2020).

111


The fair value of the restricted stock awards that vested were $16.7 million based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date. There were no restricted stock awards or stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2020. The 2014 Plan was terminated during 2021 when the 2021 Plan was approved. No further awards will be granted under the 2014 Plan and all awards previously granted under the 2014 Plan have vested.

Restricted Stock Activity

The Company accounts for compensation cost for unvested time-based service condition restricted stock awards based on the fair value of the award on the measurement date, which is generally the grant date, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, with forfeitures recognized as incurred.

Cliff vest June 2025 and June 2031

(1)Vesting of outstanding awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was accelerated during August 2020 in contemplation of the spin-off of BBX Capital.

(2)Prior to acceleration in connection with the spin-off of BBX Capital, the 2019 and 2020 awards were scheduled to vest ratably in annual installments over the requisite service period. Of the awards granted in 2021, 275,939 shares are scheduled to cliff vest in 4 years, or June 3, 2025 and 192,500 shares are scheduled to cliff vest in 10 years, or June 3, 2031, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the 2021 Plan and the appliable award agreement.

In October 2019, award recipients surrendered a total of 44,570 shares of Class A Common Stock and 149,671 shares of Class B Common Stock to the Company to satisfy the $4.5 million tax withholding obligation associated with the vesting of 493,623 restricted shares. The Company retired the surrendered shares.

112


The fair value of the Company’s restricted stock awards that vested during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $16.7 million and $11.5 million, respectively, based on the fair value of its common stock on the applicable vesting dates. The aggregate grant date fair value of the awards granted in June 2021 was $9.7 million. As of December 31, 2021, restricted share expense of approximately $8.5 million remained unamortized.

The Company recognized restricted stock compensation expense included in selling general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) related to its restricted stock awards of approximately $1.0 million, $25.4 million, and $11.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. There were no tax benefits recognized on restricted stock compensation expense for these awards.

In January 2022, the Company granted 208,033 restricted shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The aggregate grant date fair value of the awards granted was $6.2 million, 154,677 of the shares granted are scheduled to vest ratably in annual installments over 4 years, and 53,356 of the shares granted are scheduled to cliff vest in 4 years, or January 2026, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the 2021 Plan and the applicable award agreement. Expense will be recognized beginning with the first quarter of 2022.

Redeemable 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock

The Company’s shares of mandatorily redeemable 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock were redeemable at the Company’s option at a redemption price of $1,000 per share and were classified as a liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets while such shares were outstanding due to the mandatory redemption feature. All such mandatory redeemable preferred shares were redeemed by December 31, 2019, with the remaining 10,000 shares of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock redeemed at their aggregate stated value of $10.0 million. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded interest expense related to the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock of $1.0 million in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The Company may be deemed to be controlled by Alan B. Levan, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, John E. Abdo, Vice Chairman of the Company, Jarett S. Levan, a director of the Company and former President of the Company, and Seth M. Wise, a director of the Company and former Executive Vice President of the Company.

Mr. Alan Levan, Mr. Abdo, Mr. Jarett Levan and Mr. Wise may also be deemed to control BBX Capital through their ownership of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. Mr. Alan Levan and Mr. John Abdo also receive compensation from BBX Capital.

See “Our Business” under Note 1 above for information regarding the statutory short-form merger effected on May 5, 2021, pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the approximately 7% of the outstanding shares of Bluegreen’s

113


common stock that the Company did not previously own and Bluegreen became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Company paid or reimbursed BBX Capital $1.2 million, $1.5 million, $1.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 respectively, for management advisory, risk management, administrative and other services. The Company had $0.1 million in accrued expenses for the services described above as of December 31, 2021. There were no amounts accrued for such services as of December 31, 2020.

During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company paid Abdo Companies, Inc. $153,000, $230,000, and $306,000, respectively, in exchange for certain management services. John E. Abdo, the Company’s Vice Chairman, is the principal shareholder and Chief Executive Officer of Abdo Companies, Inc.

In April 2015, pursuant to a Loan Agreement and Promissory Note, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bluegreen provided

an $80.0 million loan to BVH. Amounts outstanding bore interest at a rate of 6% per annum until April 17, 2020, at which time the interest rate was decreased to 4% per annum. Interest only payments were required on a quarterly basis, with all outstanding months becoming due and payable at maturity. In March 2020, the Loan Agreement and Promissory Note was amended to extend the maturity date from April 17, 2020 to April 17, 2021. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, BVH recognized $2.5 million and $4.8 million, respectively, of interest expense on the loan from Bluegreen. The loan balance and related interest expense were eliminated in consolidation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. During August 2020, Bluegreen paid a special cash dividend of $1.19 per share on its common stock. BVH utilized its proceeds from the special cash dividend to repay the loan in full.

During 2015, BVH, Woodbridge, Bluegreen, BBX Capital, and their respective subsidiaries entered into an Agreement to Allocate Consolidated Income Tax Liability and Benefits pursuant to which, among other customary terms and conditions, the parties agreed to file consolidated federal tax returns. Pursuant to the Agreement, the parties calculate their respective income tax liabilities and attributes as if each of them were a separate filer. If any tax attributes are used by another party to the Agreement to offset its tax liability, the party providing the benefit will receive an amount for the tax benefits realized. In 2019 Bluegreen paid BVH $13.0 million, in 2020 BVH provided a $8.0 million refund to Bluegreen, and in 2021 Bluegreen paid BVH $29.1 million pursuant to this agreement. These amounts are eliminated in consolidation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Agreement was terminated with respect to the subsidiaries of BVH other than Woodbridge and Bluegreen in connection with BVH’s spin-off of BBX Capital on September 30, 2020.

In connection with its spin-off of BBX Capital during September 2020, the Company issued a $75.0 million note payable to BBX Capital. See Note 10 for a description of the of terms of BVH’s note payable to BBX Capital. In connection with the spin-off, the Company also entered into a Transition Services Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement and Employee Matters Agreement with BBX Capital. The Transition Services Agreement generally sets out the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of the Company and BBX Capital with respect to support services provided to one another after the spin-off, to ensure an orderly transition. The Transition Services Agreement establishes a baseline charge for certain categories or components of services provided, which is at cost unless the parties mutually agree to a different charge. The Transition Services Agreement was effective on September 30, 2020 and will continue until terminated, in whole or with respect to any service provided thereunder by either party at any time upon thirty days prior written notice to the other party. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, BBX Capital reimbursed the Company $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively under the Transition Services agreement.

17. Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Reportable segments consist of one or more operating segments with similar economic characteristics, products and services, production processes, type of customer, distribution system or regulatory environment.

The sales of VOIs and financing segment includes the Company’s marketing and sales activities related to the VOIs that are owned by the Company, VOIs acquired under just-in-time and secondary market inventory arrangements, or

114


sales of VOIs through fee-for-service arrangements with third-party developers, as well as consumer financing activities in connection with sales of VOIs owned by the Company, and title services operations.

The resort operations and club management segment includes management services activities for the Vacation Club and for a majority of the HOAs of the resorts within the Vacation Club. The Company also provides reservation services, services to owners and billing and collections services to the Vacation Club and certain HOAs. Additionally, this segment includes revenue from the Traveler Plus program, food and beverage and other retail operations, rental services activities, and management of construction activities for certain fee-based developer clients.

The information provided for segment reporting is obtained from internal reports utilized by management. The presentation and allocation of results of operations may not reflect the actual economic costs of the segments as standalone businesses. Due to the nature of the Company’s business, assets are not allocated to a particular segment, and therefore management does not evaluate the balance sheet by segment. If a different basis of allocation were utilized, the relative contributions of the segments might differ but the relative trends in the segments’ operating results would, in management’s view, likely not be impacted.

The Company no longer holds any interest in BBX Capital. As such, BBX Capital and its subsidiaries’ operations are presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s financial statements.

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) to make known material information concerning the Company, including its subsidiaries, to those officers who certify our financial reports and to other members of our senior management. As of December 31, 2021, our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all improper conduct. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of improper conduct, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Further, the design of any control system is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any such design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a- 15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As of December 31, 2021, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework – 2013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on such evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has audited our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 and has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting, which is included below.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and related notes and our report dated March 3, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Report. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
