HILTON GRAND VACATIONS INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Our Business
Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. ("Hilton Grand Vacations," "we," "us," "our," "HGV" or the "Company") is a global timeshare company engaged in developing, marketing, selling, managing and operating timeshare resorts, timeshare plans and ancillary reservation services, primarily under the Hilton Grand Vacations brands. On January 17, 2024 ("Bluegreen Acquisition Date"), we completed the acquisition of Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation ("Bluegreen") (the "Bluegreen Acquisition").
Our operations primarily consist of selling vacation ownership intervals and vacation ownership interests (collectively, "VOIs" or "VOI") for us and third parties; financing and servicing loans provided to consumers for their timeshare purchases; operating resorts and timeshare plans; and managing our clubs and exchange programs.
As of September 30, 2024, we had approximately 200 properties located in the United States ("U.S."), Europe, the Caribbean, Mexico, Canada, and Asia. A significant number of our properties and VOIs are concentrated in Florida, Europe, Hawaii, California, South Carolina, Arizona, Virginia, and Nevada inclusive of the new locations we have expanded into through the Bluegreen Acquisition. We are in the process of rebranding many of the Diamond properties and anticipate rebranding the majority of Bluegreen properties and sales centers. We expect to begin rebranding certain Bluegreen properties in 2025 to the Hilton Grand Vacations brands and Hilton standards.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include all of our assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows as well as all entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. The determination of a controlling financial interest is based upon the terms of the governing agreements of the respective entities, including the evaluation of rights held by other interests. If the entity is considered to be a variable interest entity ("VIE"), we determine whether we are the primary beneficiary, and then consolidate those VIEs for which we have determined we are the primary beneficiary. If the entity in which we hold an interest does not meet the definition of a VIE, we evaluate whether we have a controlling financial interest through our voting interests in the entity. We consolidate entities when we own more than 50% of the voting shares of a company or otherwise have a controlling financial interest, including Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations LLC, a joint venture in which HGV is deemed to hold a controlling financial interest based on its 51% equity interest ("Big Cedar"), its active role as the day-to-day manager of its activities, and majority voting control of its management committee. HGV acquired its equity interest in Big Cedar as part of the Bluegreen Acquisition. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Although we believe the disclosures made are adequate to prevent information presented from being misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and, accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Noncontrolling Interest
Noncontrolling interest reflects a third party's ownership interest in Big Cedar that is consolidated in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements but is less than 100% owned by HGV. The noncontrolling interest is recognized as equity in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and presented separately from the equity attributable to stockholders.

The amounts of consolidated net income and comprehensive income attributable to stockholders and noncontrolling interest are separately presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07 ("ASU 2023-07"), Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 provides amendments to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements both on an interim and annual basis, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 is expected to impact disclosures only and not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 ("ASU 2023-09"), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 states that an entity must provide greater disaggregation of its effective tax rate reconciliation disclosure. The ASU also states that an entity must separately disclose net cash taxes paid between federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance is to be applied prospectively, although retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 is expected to impact disclosures only and not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3: ACQUISITIONS
Bluegreen Acquisition
On January 17, 2024, we completed the Bluegreen Acquisition in an all-cash transaction, with total consideration of approximately $1.6 billion. The Bluegreen Acquisition is expected to broaden HGV's offerings, customer reach and sales locations. Costs related to the Bluegreen Acquisition were $25 million and $162 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. These costs were expensed as incurred and included within Acquisition and integration-related expensein our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Preliminary Fair Values of Assets Acquired, Liabilities Assumed and Noncontrolling Interest
We accounted for the Bluegreen Acquisition as a business combination, which requires us to record the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interest at fair value as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date. The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest, which are presented in the table below, and the related preliminary acquisition accounting are based on management's estimates and assumptions, as well as information compiled by management, including the books and records of Bluegreen. Our estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the Bluegreen Acquisition Date. The magnitude of the Bluegreen Acquisition could necessitate the need to use the full one-year measurement period to adequately analyze and assess a number of the factors used in establishing the asset, liability and noncontrolling interest fair values as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date. The final values may also result in changes to amortization expense related to intangible assets and depreciation expense related to property and equipment, among other changes. Any potential adjustments made could be material in relation to the values presented in the table below.

Table of Contents
As discussed more fully below, the primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized include the following: (1) finalizing the review and valuation of acquired intangible assets (including key assumptions, inputs and estimates) and assigning the useful lives to such assets; (2) finalizing the review and valuation of acquired inventory, property and equipment (including key assumptions, inputs and estimates) and assigning the remaining useful lives to the depreciable assets; (3) finalizing the review and valuation of acquired timeshare financing receivables (including key assumptions, inputs and estimates); (4) finalizing the valuation of certain in-place contracts or contractual relationships (including but not limited to leases), including determining the appropriate amortization periods; (5) finalizing the review and valuation of other acquired assets, assumed liabilities, including debt assumed, and noncontrolling interest; and (6) finalizing our estimate of the impact of purchase accounting on deferred income tax liabilities.

(1)Goodwill is calculated as total consideration transferred less net assets acquired and it primarily represents the value that we expect to obtain from synergies and growth opportunities from our combined Company post-acquisition.
The measurement period adjustments recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 resulted from changes to our estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets, assumed liabilities and noncontrolling interest based on management's review of the historical accounting records and third-party valuations. The measurement period adjustments recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 resulted primarily from a reduction to timeshare financing receivables of $17 million and an increase to inventory of $69 million based on management's review of key assumptions and historical performance of the acquired portfolio, a decrease in the marketing agreement intangible asset of $55 million driven by a modification to the projected cash flows, decreases to our estimates of the fair value of property plant and equipment of $42 million and capitalized software of $5 million, and a decrease in noncontrolling interest of $18 million resulting from a change in the projected cash flows. These adjustments resulted in a net increase to goodwill for the period of $17 million, net of tax impacts of $10 million. There were measurement period adjustments not impacting goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to management's review of historical accounting records and

alignment of policies. These adjustments primarily consisted of $13 million from Cash and cash equivalentsto Accounts payable, accrued expenses and otherand $39 million from Deferred revenueto Advanced deposits. The prior period net income effect associated with the measurement period adjustments recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $(4) million.
Timeshare Financing Receivables
We acquired timeshare financing receivables, net which consist of loans to customers who purchased vacation ownership products and chose to finance their purchases. These timeshare financing receivables, net are collateralized by the underlying VOIs and generally have 10-year amortizing repayment terms. We preliminarily estimated the fair value of the timeshare financing receivables using a discounted cash flow model, which calculated a present value of expected future risk-adjusted cash flows over the remaining term of the respective timeshare financing receivables. We are continuing to evaluate the significant assumptions underlying the discounted cash flow model including default severity and prepayment assumptions, which could result in changes to our preliminary estimate. We have determined that the entire acquired timeshare financing receivables portfolio was considered purchase credit deteriorated ("PCD") assets as it shows evidence of more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. See Note 6: Timeshare Financing Receivables, netfor additional information.
Acquired timeshare financing receivables with credit deterioration as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date were as follows:

Inventory
We acquired inventory which primarily consists of completed unsold VOIs. We preliminarily estimated the fair value of acquired inventory using a discounted cash flows method, which included an estimate of cash flows expected to be generated from the sale of VOIs. Significant estimates and assumptions impacting the fair value of the acquired inventory that are subjective and/or require complex judgments include our estimates of operating costs and margins, and the discount rate. Certain other estimates and assumptions impacting the fair value of the acquired inventory involving less subjective and/or less complex judgments include: short-term and long-term revenue growth rates and other factors impacting the discounted cash flows. We are continuing to assess the market assumptions and property conditions as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date, which could result in changes to these preliminary values.
Property and Equipment
We acquired property and equipment, which includes land, buildings and improvements, leasehold improvements, computer hardware and software, furniture, fixtures, and office equipment, machinery and equipment, vehicles, construction in progress, and other assets. For our preliminary analysis, we estimated the fair value of the property and equipment using a mix of cost and market approaches. In determining the fair value using the cost approach, we estimated the reproduction cost by applying inflation trending indices to the historical capitalized costs within the fixed asset details. We also relied on the market approach to determine the fair value of certain assets. In applying the market approach to value, we relied on the percent of cost method. In addition, certain property and equipment assets were held at their carrying value, which is our best estimate of fair value at this time given the information available. We are continuing to assess the market assumptions and property conditions as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date, which could result in changes to these preliminary values.
Operating Lease Right-of-Use-Assets and Lease Liabilities
We have recorded a preliminary estimate of the liability for those operating leases assumed in connection with the Bluegreen Acquisition with a remaining term in excess of one year. We measured the lease liabilities assumed at the present value of the remaining contractual lease payments based on the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842: Leasesdiscounted at an incremental borrowing rate applicable to HGV determined as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date. The right-of-use assets for such leases were measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted for the favorable or unfavorable leasehold position considering the contractual terms of the lease when compared with market terms. A small number of operating lease right of use assets and lease liabilities were preliminarily estimated at

carrying value. Additionally, any equipment lease was held at carrying value. We continue to assess the market assumptions as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date, which could result in changes to our preliminary estimate.

We preliminarily estimated the fair value of Bluegreen's trade name using the relief-from-royalty method, which applies an estimated royalty rate to forecasted future cash flows, discounted to present value. We preliminarily estimated the value of management contracts and club member relationships using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a variation of the income approach. This method estimates an intangible asset's value based on the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the intangible asset. The marketing agreements were valued using the with-and-without method of the income approach. Under this method, the value of an asset is a function of the differential of projected cash flows with the asset in place and the projected cash flows without the asset in place, discounted to present value. We continue to review Bluegreen's contracts and historical performance in addition to evaluating the assumptions impacting the estimated values of such intangible assets and their respective useful lives, including the discount rate applied to the estimated cash flows and renewal and growth estimates and expected margins as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date, which could result in changes to these preliminary values.
Debt
As part of the acquisition and consideration transferred, we paid off $265 million of Bluegreen's existing corporate debt and accrued interest. We preliminarily estimated the fair value of the remaining assumed debt using a discounted cash flow model under the income approach. The significant assumptions include prepayment rates, interest rates and other structural factors. We are continuing to evaluate the significant assumptions underlying the discounted cash flow model as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date, which could result in changes to our preliminary estimate.
Non-Recourse Debt
We preliminarily estimated the fair value of the securitized debt and warehouse loan facilities, using a discounted cash flow model under the income approach. The significant assumptions in our analysis include default rates, prepayment rates, bond interest rates and other structural factors. We are continuing to evaluate the significant assumptions underlying the discounted cash flow model as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date, which could result in changes to our preliminary estimate.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue primarily relates to deferred sales incentives revenues, including Bonus Points, which are deferred and recognized upon redemption; and Club membership fees, which are deferred and recognized over the terms of the applicable contract term or membership on a straight-line basis. We preliminarily estimated the fair value of the deferred revenue at the carrying value of such liabilities as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date. We continue to review Bluegreen's contracts as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date, which could result in changes to the preliminary estimate.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes primarily relate to the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired from Bluegreen, including timeshare financing receivables, inventory, property and equipment, intangible assets, and debt. We preliminarily estimated deferred income taxes based on the blended U.S. federal and state statutory tax rate which approximates to 25%. Within the measurement period, we will continue to assess the tax rates used, and we will update our estimate of deferred income
11
Table of Contents
taxes based on changes to our preliminary valuations of the related assets and liabilities and refinement of the effective tax rates as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date, which could result in changes to these preliminary values.
Noncontrolling Interest
The acquired noncontrolling interest relates to Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, LLC, a joint venture in which we are deemed to hold a controlling financial interest based on our 51% equity interest, our active role as the day-to-day manager of its activities, and our majority voting control of its management committee. We preliminarily estimated the fair value of the noncontrolling interest using a discounted cash flow model. We continue to assess the market assumptions as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date, which could result in changes to our preliminary estimate.
Goodwill
We have recorded a preliminary estimate of $540 million of goodwill in connection with the Bluegreen Acquisition. We have allocated the acquired goodwill to our segments, Real Estate Sales and Financing and Resort Operations and Club Management, as indicated in the table below. Our allocations may change throughout the measurement period as we continue to finalize the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Bluegreen Acquisition. The majority of goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Grand Islander Acquisition
On December 1, 2023 ("Grand Islander Acquisition Date"), the Company completed the acquisition of BRE Grand Islander Parent LLC ("Grand Islander"), by exchanging 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Grand Islander for $117 million (the "Grand Islander Acquisition"). Prior to the acquisition, we managed the resort property in Hawaii owned by Grand Islander. The acquisition expands our product offerings and provides existing members upgrade opportunities to locations outside of the prior Fee-for-service arrangement. The purchase price of $117 million included cash consideration, as well as $4 million of non-cash consideration attributable to the effective settlement of a pre-existing relationship based on the contract value.
As of September 30, 2024, the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired includes $8 million of cash and cash equivalents, $28 million of restricted cash, $5 million of accounts receivable, $53 million of unsecuritized timeshare financing receivables, net, $199 million of securitized timeshare financing receivables, net, $15 million of inventory, and $2 million of other assets. Of the securitized timeshare financing receivables acquired, $128 million is used as collateral to secure a non-recourse revolving timeshare receivable credit facility ("Grand Islander Timeshare Facility"). The preliminary fair values of the liabilities assumed consist of $193 million of non-recourse debt and $4 million of other liabilities.

Table of Contents
The estimated fair values of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed and the related preliminary acquisition accounting were based on management's estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management. We preliminarily estimated the fair value of the timeshare financing receivables and inventory using a discounted cash flow model, which calculated a present value of expected future risk-adjusted cash flows over the remaining term of the respective timeshare financing receivable and the sell-out period of the inventory, respectively. For non-recourse debt, we estimated the fair value using recent trades of the debt, using adjustments to recent trades of similar debt or the settlement amounts for debt that was repaid in close proximity to the Grand Islander Acquisition Date.
The timeshare financing receivables acquired were considered PCD assets. The following table presents the acquired assets with credit deterioration as of the Grand Islander Acquisition Date:

Goodwill of $4 million is calculated as total consideration transferred less net assets acquired. The measurement period adjustments recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 resulted from changes to our estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on updates to preliminary valuations of acquired timeshare financing receivables and inventory. These resulted in an increase to goodwill for the period of $2 million. We have allocated the acquired goodwill of $4 million to our Real Estate Sales and Financing segment. Our allocations may change throughout the measurement period as we continue to finalize the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Grand Islander Acquisition, not to exceed one year from the Grand Islander Acquisition Date. The majority of goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Receivables from Contracts with Customers, Contract Liabilities, and Contract Assets
Our accounts receivable that relate to our contracts with customers includes amounts associated with our contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations and are settled when the related cash is received. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional and is only contingent on the passage of time. Our timeshare financing receivables consist of loans related to our financing of VOI sales that are secured by the underlying timeshare properties. See Note 6: Timeshare financing receivablesfor additional information.
The following table provides information on our contracts with customers which are included in Accounts receivable, netand Timeshare financing receivables, net, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets:

(1)The balance includes $56 million and $54 million of bonus point incentive liabilities included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. This liability is for incentives from VOI sales and sales and marketing expenses in conjunction with our fee-for-service arrangements.
Revenue earned for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, that was included in the contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2023, was approximately $31 million and $167 million, respectively.
Contract assets relate to incentive fees that can be earned for meeting certain targets on sales of VOIs at properties under our fee-for-service arrangements; however, our right to consideration is conditional upon completing the requirements of the annual incentive fee period. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, contract assets were $1 million and $13 million, respectively.
Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations
Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contract revenue that has not yet been recognized. Our contracts with remaining performance obligations primarily include (i) sales of VOIs under construction, (ii) club activation fees paid at closing of a VOI purchase, (iii) customers' advanced deposits on prepaid vacation packages and (iv) bonus points that may be redeemed in the future.

NOTE 6: TIMESHARE FINANCING RECEIVABLES
We define our timeshare financing receivables portfolio segments as (i) originated and (ii) acquired. Our originated portfolio represents timeshare financing receivables that originated after August 2, 2021 related to Diamond ("Legacy-Diamond"), after December 1, 2023 related to Grand Islander ("Legacy-Grand Islander"), after January 17, 2024 related to Bluegreen ("Legacy-Bluegreen") and timeshare financing receivables that existed both prior to and following the
15

(1)Includes amounts used as collateral to secure a non-recourse revolving timeshare receivable credit facility ("Timeshare Facility") as well as amounts held as future collateral for securitization activities.
(2)Non-credit premium of $97 million was recognized at the Diamond Acquisition Date, of which $17 million and $26 million remains unamortized as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. A non-credit premium of $2 million was recognized at the Grand Islander Acquisition Date with $1 million remaining unamortized as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Non-credit premium of $169 million was recognized at the Bluegreen Acquisition Date, of which $113 million remains unamortized as of September 30, 2024.
In April 2024, we completed a securitization of approximately $240 million of gross timeshare financing receivables and issued approximately $101 million of 5.75% notes, $58 million of 5.99% notes, $46 million of 6.62% notes, and $35 million of 8.85% notes due September 2039. The securitization transaction did not qualify as a sale and, accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized. The transaction is considered a secured borrowing, and the notes from the transaction are presented as non-recourse debt. The proceeds were used to pay down in part some of our existing debt and for other general corporate purposes. See Note 8:Consolidated Variable Interest Entitiesand Note 11: Debt and Non-recourse Debt for additional information.
In May 2024, we completed a securitization of approximately $375 million of gross timeshare financing receivables and issued approximately $217 million of 5.50% notes, $80 million of 5.65% notes, $57 million of 5.99% notes, and $21 million of 6.91% notes due March 2038. The securitization transaction did not qualify as a sale and, accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized. The transaction is considered a secured borrowing, and the notes from the transaction are presented as non-recourse debt. The proceeds were used to pay down in part some of our existing debt and for other general corporate purposes. See Note 8: Consolidated Variable Interest Entitiesand Note 11: Debt and Non-recourse Debtfor additional information.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had timeshare financing receivables of $13 million and $415 million, respectively, securing the Timeshare Facility. In connection with the acquisitions of Grand Islander and Bluegreen, we had access to additional timeshare facilities, which were terminated during the first quarter of 2024.
For our originated portfolio, we record an estimate of variable consideration for defaults as a reduction of revenue from financed VOI sales at the time revenue is recognized. We record the difference between the timeshare financing receivable and the variable consideration included in the transaction price for the sale of the related VOI as an allowance for financing receivables and record the receivable net of the allowance. For our acquired portfolio, any changes to the estimates of our allowance are recorded within Financing expense on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the change occurs.
We recognize interest income on our timeshare financing receivables as earned. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had interest receivable outstanding of $19 million and $17 million, respectively, on our originated timeshare financing receivables. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had interest receivable outstanding of $8 million and $4 million, respectively, on our acquired timeshare financing receivables. Interest receivable is included in Other Assetswithin our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The interest rate charged on the notes correlates to the risk profile of the customer at the time of purchase and the percentage of the purchase that is financed, among other factors. As of September 30, 2024, our originated timeshare financing receivables had interest rates ranging from 1.5% to 25.8%, a weighted-average interest rate of 15.2%, a weighted-average remaining term of 8.5 years and maturities through 2039. Our acquired timeshare financing receivables had interest rates ranging from 2.0% to 25.0%, a weighted-average interest rate of 14.9%, a weighted-average remaining term of 7.1 years and maturities through 2039.

Table of Contents
We apply payments we receive for loans, including those in non-accrual status, to amounts due in the following order: servicing fees; interest; principal; and late charges. Once a loan is 91 days past due, we cease accruing interest and reverse the accrued interest recognized up to that point. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we reversed $54 million and $55 million, respectively, of accrued interest income. We resume interest accrual for loans for which we had previously ceased accruing interest once the loan is less than 91 days past due. We fully reserve for a timeshare financing receivable in the month following the date that the loan is 121 days past due and, subsequently, we write off the uncollectible note against the reserve once the foreclosure process, which is governed by product type and local law, is complete.

Acquired Timeshare Financing Receivables with Credit Deterioration
Our acquired timeshare financing receivables were deemed to be purchased credit deteriorated financial assets. These notes receivable were initially recognized at their purchase price, represented by the acquisition date fair value, and subsequently "grossed-up" by our acquisition date assessment of the allowance for credit losses. The difference over which
17
Table of Contents
par value of the acquired purchased credit deteriorated assets exceeds the purchase price plus the initial allowance for financing receivable losses is reflected as a non-credit premium and is amortized as a reduction to interest income under the effective interest method.
The fair value of our acquired timeshare financing receivables as of each respective acquisition date was determined using a discounted cash flow method, which calculated a present value of expected future risk-adjusted cash flows over the remaining term of the respective timeshare financing receivables. Consequently, the fair value of the acquired timeshare financing receivables recorded on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the respective acquisition date included an estimate of expected financing receivable losses which became the historical cost basis for that portfolio going forward.
The allowance for financing receivable losses for our acquired timeshare financing receivables is remeasured at each period end and takes into consideration an estimated measure of anticipated defaults and early repayments. We consider historical timeshare financing receivables performance and the current economic environment in the re-measurement of the allowance for financing receivable losses for our acquired timeshare financing receivables. Subsequent changes to the allowance for acquired financing receivable losses are recorded within Financing expenseon our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the change occurs.

Credit Quality of Timeshare Financing Receivables
We evaluate these portfolios collectively for purposes of estimating variable consideration, since we hold a large group of homogeneous timeshare financing receivables which are individually immaterial. We monitor the collectability of our receivables on an ongoing basis. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty or groups of counterparties. We use a technique referred to as static pool analysis as the basis for estimating expected defaults and determining our allowance for financing receivables losses on our timeshare financing receivables. For the static pool analysis, we use several years of default data through which we stratify our portfolio using certain key dimensions to stratify our portfolio such as FICO scores and equity percentage at the time of sale. The adequacy of the related allowance is determined by management through analysis of several factors, such as current and forward-looking economic conditions and industry trends, as well as the specific risk characteristics of the portfolio including assumed default rates, aging and historical write-offs of these receivables.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded non-cash operating activity transfers of $285 million related to the registrations for timeshare units under construction for three properties from Property and equipment, netto Inventory. As VOI inventory is constructed, it is recorded into Property and equipment, netuntil such units are registered and made available for sale. Once registered and available for sale, the units are then transferred into completed unsold VOIs inventory.

NOTE 8: CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
As of September 30, 2024, we consolidated 17 VIEs. The activities of these entities are limited primarily to purchasing qualifying non-recourse timeshare financing receivables from us and issuing debt securities and/or borrowing under a debt facility to facilitate such purchases. The timeshare financing receivables held by these entities are not available to our creditors and are not our legal assets, nor is the debt that is securitized through these entities a legal liability to us.
We have determined that we are the primary beneficiaries of these VIEs as we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect their economic performance. We are also the servicer of these timeshare financing receivables and we often replace or repurchase timeshare financing receivables that are in default at their outstanding principal amounts. Additionally, we have the right to receive benefits that could be significant to them. Only the assets of our VIEs are available to settle the obligations of the respective entities.
We have aggregated the variable interests in the entities, including those associated with Bluegreen's outstanding timeshare financing receivables securitization transactions, as they are similar in nature. See Note 11: Debt and Non-recourse debtfor additional information.
Our condensed consolidated balance sheets included the assets and liabilities of these entities, which primarily consisted of the following:

NOTE 9: INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had ownership interests in BRE Ace LLC and 1776 Holding LLC, which are VIEs. We do not consolidate BRE Ace LLC and 1776 Holding LLC because we are not the primary beneficiary. These two unconsolidated affiliates have aggregated debt balances of $382 million and $427 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The debt is secured by their assets and is without recourse to us. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our investment interests in the two unconsolidated affiliates is primarily limited to (i) the carrying amount of the investments, which totaled $73 million and $71 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and (ii) receivables for commission and other fees earned under fee-for-service arrangements. See Note 16: Related Party Transactions for additional information.

Table of Contents
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we received a cash distribution of $10 million from our investment in BRE Ace LLC.
For these VIEs, our investment interests are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, and equity earned is included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as Equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates.
As part of the Bluegreen Acquisition, we obtained variable interests within statutory business trusts (collectively, the "Trusts") formed previously by wholly owned subsidiaries of Bluegreen. Each subsidiary 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 were VIEs in which the subsidiaries are not the primary beneficiaries. As of September 30, 2024, we paid down $171 million, which represented the full balance of the junior subordinated debentures acquired as part of the Bluegreen acquisition. See Note 11: Debt and Non-recourse debtfor additional information.

(4)This amount includes $5 million related to the recourse portion on the NBA Receivables Facility, which is generally limited to the greater of 15% of the outstanding borrowings and $5 million, subject to certain exceptions.
(5)Amount also includes unamortized discount of $3 million related to the Bluegreen debt recognized at the Bluegreen Acquisition Date.
Senior secured credit facility
On January 17, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 4 (the "Amendment") to the Credit Agreement and incurred $900 million of new term loans that will mature on January 17, 2031. Proceeds from the new term loans were used to pay the Bluegreen Acquisition consideration, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Amendment and to refinance the repayment of certain indebtedness of Bluegreen and its subsidiaries.
On April 8, 2024, we amended our Term Loan due 2028 under the Senior secured credit facility. Under the amendment, the new interest rate is SOFR plus 2.50%, down from SOFR plus 2.75%. Also, the credit spread adjustment for the Term Loan due 2028 was removed. On July 18, 2024, we amended our Term Loan due 2031 under the Senior secured credit facility. Under the amendment, the new interest rate is SOFR plus 2.25%, down from SOFR plus 2.75%.
On October 8, 2024, we entered into a new $400 million senior secured term loan ("Term Loan A") due January 2028, with a pricing of SOFR plus 1.75%. The proceeds were used to partially pre-pay the Term Loan due 2028.
As of September 30, 2024, we had $24 million of letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $1 million outstanding backed by cash collateral. We were in compliance with all applicable maintenance and financial covenants and ratios as of September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, we have $308 million remaining borrowing capacity under the revolver facility.
We primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy for our variable-rate debt. These interest rate swaps are associated with the SOFR-based senior secured credit facility. As of September 30, 2024, these interest rate swaps convert the SOFR-based variable rate on our Term Loan due 2028 to average fixed rates of 1.55% per annum with maturities between 2026 and 2028, for the balance on this borrowing up to the notional values of our interest rate swaps. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate notional values of the interest rate swaps under our Term Loan due 2028 was $550 million. Our interest rate swaps have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk and are recorded at their estimated fair value as an asset in Other assetsin our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the estimated fair values of our cash flow hedges were $29 million and $42 million, respectively. We characterize payments we make in connection with these derivative instruments as interest expense and a reclassification of accumulated other comprehensive income for presentation purposes. We classify cash inflows and outflows from derivatives that hedge interest rate risk within operating activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Senior Notes due 2032
On January 10, 2024, we completed an offering for $900 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior secured notes due 2032 ("Senior Notes due 2032") issued by our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hilton Grand Vacations Borrower Escrow, LLC and Hilton Grand Vacations Borrower Escrow, Inc. Proceeds from the new secured notes were used to pay the Bluegreen Acquisition consideration, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Amendment and to refinance the repayment of certain indebtedness of Bluegreen and its subsidiaries.

The Timeshare Facility is a non-recourse obligation payable solely from the pool of timeshare financing receivables pledged as collateral and related assets. As of September 30, 2024, our Timeshare Facility has a remaining borrowing capacity of $750 million. In March 2024, we renewed our Timeshare Facility agreement under new terms, which included extending the commitment and maturity period to March 2026 and March 2027, respectively, and permitting to pledge as collateral certain timeshare loans associated to Grand Islander. On January 31, 2024, we terminated the Grand Islander Timeshare Facility.

We are required to deposit payments received from customers on the timeshare financing receivables securing the Timeshare Facility and Securitized Debt into depository accounts maintained by third parties. On a monthly basis, the depository accounts are utilized to make required principal, interest and other payments due under the respective loan agreements. The balances in the depository accounts were $51 million and $48 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and were included in Restricted cashin our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Table of Contents
Our estimates of the fair values were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop the estimated fair values. The table above excludes interest rate swaps discussed below and cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and advanced deposits, all of which had fair values approximating their carrying amounts due to the short maturities and liquidity of these instruments.
The estimated fair values of our originated and acquired timeshare financing receivables were determined using a discounted cash flow model. Our model incorporates default rates, coupon rates, credit quality and loan terms respective to the portfolio based on current market assumptions for similar types of arrangements.
The estimated fair values of our Level 2 derivative financial instruments were determined utilizing projected future cash flows discounted based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and market volatility. Refer to Note 11: Debt and Non-recourse Debtabove.
The estimated fair values of our Level 1 debt and non-recourse debt were based on prices in active debt markets. The estimated fair values of our Level 3 debt and non-recourse debt were based on the following:
•Debt - based on indicative quotes obtained for similar issuances and projected future cash flows discounted at risk-adjusted rates.
•Non-recourse debt - based on projected future cash flows discounted at risk-adjusted rates.
NOTE 13: INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was approximately 68% and 32%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was approximately 66% and 28%, respectively. The effective tax rate increase quarter over quarter is due to the overall change in earnings. The effective tax rate increase year over year is primarily due to the overall change in earnings partially offset by discrete items relative to income before taxes. The discrete items are primarily comprised of unrecognized tax benefits. The difference between our effective tax rate as compared to the U.S. statutory federal tax rate of 21% is primarily due to the impact of state and foreign income taxes, the jurisdictional mix of earnings, and discrete items, primarily unrecognized tax benefits.
NOTE 14: SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Plan
On May 3, 2023, the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("2023 Plan") was approved by our stockholders to replace the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the 2017 Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "2017 Plans"). The 2023 Plan authorizes the issuance of restricted stock units ("Service RSUs" or "RSUs"), nonqualified stock options ("Options"), time and performance-vesting restricted stock units ("Performance RSUs" or "PSUs"), and stock appreciation rights ("SARs") to certain employees and directors. Pursuant to the 2023 Plan, 5,240,000 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance. The 2017 Plans remain in place until all of the awards previously granted thereunder have been paid, forfeited or expired. Shares underlying awards that are canceled or forfeited under the 2017 Plans without the issuance of any shares are added to the 2023 Plan share pool. However, the shares which remained available for issuance under the 2017 Plans are no longer available for issuance, and all future awards will be granted pursuant to the 2023 Plan.
On March 4, 2024, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register 118,078 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of HGV's Common Stock that may be issued under the 2023 Plan in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, an exception under Rule 303A.08 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual ("Rule 303A.08"). The shares of Common Stock registered represented the number of shares of Bluegreen common stock that were available for issuance under the Bluegreen's 2021 Incentive Plan immediately prior to the Bluegreen Acquisition, as appropriately adjusted to reflect the Bluegreen Acquisition and assumed by us, in accordance with Rule 303A.08.
On March 5, 2024, our Board of Directors approved transaction incentive awards ("Transaction Incentive Awards") in connection with the Bluegreen Acquisition consisting of Performance RSUs and performance-based cash awards (the "Performance Cash Awards") for certain executive officers and employees. The Transaction Incentive Awards were granted under, and pursuant to the terms and conditions of, the 2023 Plan, and the award agreements approved by the Compensation Committee. The Performance Cash Awards are $8 million and are payable based on the level of achievement of pre-established performance goals relating to run rate cost savings following an 18-month performance period commencing on the Bluegreen Acquisition Date, and ending on June 30, 2025. On September 30, 2024, due to achievement of certain run rate cost savings, fifty percent (50%) of the Performance Cash Awards vested and were payable to certain executive officers and employees. These performance cash awards were included within Acquisition and integration-related expensein our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Table of Contents
As of September 30, 2024, there were 3,921,501 shares of common stock available for future issuance under the 2023 Plan. We recognized share-based compensation expense of $11 million and $12 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and $37 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
As of September 30, 2024, unrecognized compensation costs for unvested awards were approximately $46 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.
Service RSUs
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we issued 710,784 Service RSUs with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $44.06, which generally vest in equal annual installments over three years from the date of grant.
Options
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we granted 388,084 Options with a weighted-average exercise price of $44.45, which generally vest over three years from the date of the grant. The weighted-average grant date fair value of these Options was $22.63, which was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the assumptions included in the table below. Expected volatility is calculated using the historical volatility of our share price. Risk-free rate is based on the Treasury Constant Maturity Rate closest to the expected life as of the grant date. Expected term is estimated using the vesting period and contractual term of the Options.

(1)At the date of grant we had no plans to pay dividends during the expected term of these options.
As of September 30, 2024, we had 1,903,655 Options outstanding that were exercisable.
Performance RSUs
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we issued 156,809 Performance RSUs with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $44.54. The Performance RSUs are settled at the end of a 3-year performance period, with 50% of the Performance RSUs subject to achievement based on the Company's adjusted earnings before interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for net deferral and recognition of revenues and related direct expenses related to sales of VOIs of projects under construction. The remaining 50% of the Performance RSUs are subject to the achievement of certain contract sales targets.
As part of the Transaction Incentive Awards, we issued 275,477 Performance RSUs with a grant date fair value of $44.32. These Performance RSUs are settled at the end of a 2-year performance period commencing as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date, with 50% of the Performance RSUs subject to achievement based on the Company's adjusted earnings before interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for net deferral and recognition of revenues and related direct expenses related to sales of VOIs of projects under construction. The remaining 50% of the Performance RSUs are subject to the achievement of certain run rate cost savings. These Performance RSUs are subject to the executive's continued employment with the Company.
We determined that the performance conditions for our Performance RSUs are probable of achievement and, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, we recognized compensation expense based on the number of Performance RSUs we expect to vest.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In March 2017, the Board of Directors adopted the Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"), which became effective during 2017. In connection with the ESPP, we issued 2.5 million shares of common stock which may be purchased under the ESPP. The Board of Directors amended the ESPP plan in 2022 to allow eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock at a price per share not less than 85% of the fair market value per share of common stock on the first day of the Purchase Period or the last day of the Purchase Period, whichever is lower, up to a maximum threshold established by the plan administrator for the offering period. The amendment became effective in 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized less than $1 million of compensation expense related to this plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized $1 million of compensation expense related to this plan. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized less than $1 million of compensation expense related to this plan, respectively.

NOTE 17: BUSINESS SEGMENTS
We operate our business through the following two reportable segments:
•Real estate sales and financing - We market and sell VOIs that we own. We also source VOIs through fee-for-service agreements with third-party developers. Related to the sales of the VOIs that we own, we provide consumer financing, which includes interest income generated from the origination of consumer loans to customers to finance their purchase of VOIs and revenue from servicing the loans. We also generate fee revenue from servicing the loans provided by third-party developers to purchasers of their VOIs.
•Resort operations and club management - We manage the clubs and earn activation fees, annual dues and transaction fees from member exchanges for other vacation products. We also earn fees for managing the timeshare properties. We generate rental revenue from unit rentals of unsold inventory and inventory made available due to ownership exchanges under our club programs. We also earn revenue from food and beverage, retail and spa outlets at our timeshare properties.
The performance of our operating segments, which are also our reportable segments, is evaluated primarily based on adjusted earnings before interest expense (excluding non-recourse debt), taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, further adjusted to exclude certain items, including, but not limited to, gains, losses and expenses in connection with: (i) other gains, including asset dispositions and foreign currency transactions; (ii) debt restructurings/retirements; (iii) non-cash impairment losses; (iv) share-based and other compensation expenses; and (v) other items, including but not limited to costs associated with acquisitions, restructuring, amortization of premiums and discounts resulting from purchase accounting, and other non-cash and one-time charges.
We do not include equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates in our measures of segment operating performance.

NOTE 18: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Bass Pro Shops Marketing Agreement Commitments
In November 2023, we entered into a 10-year exclusive marketing agreement with Bass Pro Shops ("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 Bass Pro's and Cabela's retail locations and through other means. This agreement became effective on the Bluegreen Acquisition Date. As a part of this agreement, we are required to make certain minimum annual payments and certain variable payments based upon the number of travel packages sold during the year or the number of Bass Pro and Cabela's retail locations HGV maintains during the year.
As of September 30, 2024, HGV had sales and marketing operations at a total of 132 Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's Stores, including 9 virtual kiosks.

Other Commitments
We have fulfilled certain arrangements with developers where we were committed to purchase vacation ownership units or other real estate at a future date to be marketed and sold under our Hilton Grand Vacations brand. As of September 30, 2024, we are committed to purchase approximately $52 million of inventory over a period of two years and $25 million of other commitments in the normal course of business. We are also committed to an agreement to exchange parcels of land in Hawaii, subject to the successful completion of zoning, land use requirements and other applicable regulatory requirements. The actual amount and timing of the acquisitions are subject to change pursuant to the terms of the respective arrangements, which could also allow for cancellation in certain circumstances.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we fulfilled $27 million of purchases required under our inventory commitments for properties in Japan. As of September 30, 2024, our remaining obligations were expected to be incurred as follows:

On October 8, 2024, we fulfilled our inventory commitment and purchased a property in Japan for $36 million.
Litigation Contingencies
We are involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business, some of which include claims for substantial sums. We evaluate these legal proceedings and claims at each balance sheet date to determine the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss. We record a contingent litigation liability when it is determined that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
As of September 30, 2024, we accrued liabilities of approximately $8 million for all legal matters, none of which relate to the judgment entered against Diamond in March 2022 in connection with a case filed in 2015 (O'Malley v. Diamond Resorts Management, Inc.). During the first quarter of 2024, the judgment entered in O'Malley v. Diamond Resorts Management, Inc.was fully satisfied for approximately $104 million. Of this $104 million, we made a payment of approximately $50 million and our insurance policies covered the remaining $54 million. Since we received the portion from our insurance policies, we no longer have an insurance claim receivable withinAccounts receivable, netin our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized charges of approximately $2 million to General and administrativein our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations that represents the amount of the settlement liability not deemed probable of recovery from the insurance carriers, prior to the full settlement of the matter. In May 2024, we settled an additional legal matter for approximately $13 million that was previously recorded in Accounts payable and accrued expenses.
On July 22, 2024, an adverse interim award was entered in an arbitration related to a matter that existed as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date involving Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc., a Bluegreen subsidiary, in connection with an alleged breach of a purchase and sale agreement for The Manhattan Club property in New York, New York. Prior to any decision by the arbitration panel on potential damages for breach, the interim award allows Bluegreen to propose a cure for the breach, which may involve purchases of inventory at The Manhattan Club and assuming the management agreement for The Manhattan Club. The Company is currently evaluating potential cure or other resolution of this matter, which is not currently estimable and could potentially result in a measurement period adjustment related to the liabilities assumed as part of the Bluegreen Acquisition. The Company has also filed a petition to vacate the interim award in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
While we currently believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, cash flows, or materially adversely affect overall trends in our results of operations, legal proceedings are inherently uncertain and unfavorable rulings could, individually or in aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.

Surety Bonds
We utilize surety bonds related to the sales of VOIs in order to meet regulatory requirements of certain states. The availability, terms and conditions and pricing of such bonding capacity are dependent on, among other things, continued financial strength and stability of the insurance company affiliates providing the bonding capacity, general availability of such capacity and our corporate credit rating. We have commitments from surety providers in the amount of $732 million as of September 30, 2024, which primarily consist of escrow, subsidy and construction related bonds.
NOTE 19: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On November 6, 2024, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated License Agreement (the "Amended License Agreement") with Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. ("Hilton"). The Amended License Agreement amends, restates and supersedes the First Amended and Restated License Agreement, dated as of March 10, 2021, between HGV and Hilton, as amended by the First Amendment, dated as of April 4, 2022, the Second Amendment, dated as of November 5, 2023, and the Third Amendment, dated as of January 16, 2024. The Amended License Agreement covers certain amendments relating to, among other things, our continued integration of the Bluegreen Acquisition, including a rebranding plan of the Bluegreen properties to the Hilton Grand Vacations brands and Hilton standards and certain matters related to Bluegreen's marketing arrangement with Choice Hotels International, Inc., which we assumed in connection with the Bluegreen Acquisition.
On November 7, 2024, we completed a $500 million securitization of timeshare loans through Hilton Grand Vacations Trust 2024-3 with an overall weighted average interest rate of 5.18% and an overall advance rate of 98%. The proceeds will primarily be used to pay down debt and for other general corporate purposes.

Overview
Our Business
We are a global timeshare company engaged in developing, marketing, selling, managing and operating timeshare resorts, timeshare plans and ancillary reservation services, primarily under the Hilton Grand Vacations brands. On January 17, 2024 ("Bluegreen Acquisition Date"), we completed the acquisition of Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation ("Bluegreen") (the "Bluegreen Acquisition").
Our operations primarily consist of: selling VOIs for us and third parties; financing and servicing loans provided to consumers for their VOI purchases; operating resorts and timeshare plans; and managing our clubs and exchange programs that include HGV Max, Hilton Grand Vacations Club, Hilton Club, Diamond clubs and Bluegreen Vacation Club (collectively referred to as "Clubs").
As of September 30, 2024, we have approximately 200 properties located in the United States ("U.S."), Europe, the Caribbean, Mexico, Canada, and Asia. A significant number of our properties and VOIs are concentrated in Florida, Europe, Hawaii, California, South Carolina, Arizona, Virginia, and Nevada, inclusive of the new locations we have expanded into through the Bluegreen Acquisition. Our properties feature spacious, condominium-style accommodations with superior amenities and quality service. We are in the process of rebranding many of the Diamond properties and anticipate rebranding the majority of Bluegreen properties. We expect to begin rebranding of certain Bluegreen properties in 2025 to the Hilton Grand Vacations brands and Hilton standards.
As of September 30, 2024, we had approximately 722,000 members across our Club offerings. Based on the type of Club membership, certain members have the flexibility to exchange their VOIs for stays at any Hilton Grand Vacations resort, any property in the Hilton system of 24 industry-leading brands across approximately 8,000 properties, or affiliated properties, as well as numerous experiential vacation options, such as cruises and guided tours, or they have the option to exchange their VOI for various other timeshare resorts throughout the world through an external exchange program, including travel services options. Bluegreen Vacation Club members have the flexibility to stay at units available at any of Bluegreen's resorts and have access to other hotels and resorts through Bluegreen partnerships and exchange networks.
Our Segments
We operate our business across two segments: (1) Real estate sales and financing; and (2) Resort operations and club management.
Real Estate Sales and Financing
Our deeded VOI product that we market and sell is fee-simple, deeded in perpetuity and right to use real estate interests, developed either by us or by third parties. This ownership interest is generally equivalent to one week on an annual or biennial basis, at the timeshare resort in which the VOI is located.
Our trust VOI product that we market and sell is a beneficial interest in one of our Collections, which are represented by an annual or biennial allotment of points that can be utilized for vacations at any of the resorts in that Collection. In general, purchasers of a VOI in a collection do not acquire a direct ownership interest in the resort properties in the Collection. Rather, for each Collection, one or more trustees hold legal title to the deeded fee simple real estate interests or the functional equivalent, or, in some cases, leasehold real estate interests for the benefit of the respective Collection's association members in accordance with the applicable agreements.
Through the Bluegreen Acquisition, we also offer a points-based use right in perpetuity coupled with a freehold estate whereby upon purchase of a VOI, the purchaser directs conveyance of the VOI to the trustee of the Bluegreen Vacation Club who holds the timeshare interest pursuant to the Bluegreen Vacation Club Trust Agreement, dated as of May 18, 1994. At the time of conveyance of the timeshare interest, the purchaser becomes a member and is designated an
37
Table of Contents
"Owner Beneficiary" of the Bluegreen Vacation Club. Bluegreen Vacation Club members may use their allotment of points for stays at Bluegreen's resorts or other hotels and resorts available through partnerships and exchange networks.
Traditionally, timeshare operators have funded 100% of the investment necessary to acquire land and construct timeshare properties. We source VOIs through developed properties and fee-for-service and just-in-time agreements with third-party developers and have focused our inventory strategy on developing an optimal inventory mix. The fee-for-service agreements enable us to generate fees from the sales and marketing of the VOIs and Club memberships and from the management of the timeshare properties without requiring us to fund acquisition and construction costs. The just-in-time agreements enable us to source VOI inventory in a manner that allows us to correlate the timing of acquisition of the inventory with the sale to purchasers. Sales of owned, including just-in-time, inventory generally result in greater Adjusted EBITDA contributions, while fee-for-service sales require less initial investment and allow us to accelerate our sales growth. Both sales of owned inventory and fee-for-service sales generate long-term, predictable fee streams, by adding to the Club membership base and properties under management, that generate strong returns on invested capital.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, sales from fee-for-service and just-in-time inventory were 18%, and 21% of contract sales, respectively. See "Key Business and Financial Metrics - Real Estate Sales Operating Metrics" for additional discussion of contract sales. The estimated contract sales value related to our inventory that is currently available for sale at open or soon-to-be open projects and inventory at new or existing projects that will become available for sale in the future upon registration, delivery or construction is $12.9 billion at current pricing. Capital efficient arrangements, comprised of our fee-for-service and just-in-time inventory, represented approximately 29% of that supply. We believe that the visibility into our long-term supply allows us to efficiently manage inventory to meet predicted sales, reduce capital investments, minimize our exposure to the cyclicality of the real estate market and mitigate the risks of entering into new markets.
We sell our vacation ownership products primarily through our distribution network of both-in-market and off-site sales centers. Our products are currently marketed for sale throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, Europe, and Asia. We operate sales distribution centers in major markets and popular leisure destinations with year-round demand and a history of being a friendly environment for vacation ownership. We have approximately 100 sales distribution centers in various domestic and international locations. Our marketing and sales activities are based on targeted direct marketing and a highly personalized sales approach. We use targeted direct marketing to reach potential members who are identified as having the financial ability to pay for our products, are frequent leisure travelers, and have an affinity with our brands.
With the Bluegreen Acquisition, our marketing and sales activities also include marketing relationships with nationally-recognized consumer brands such as Bass Pro, a fishing, marine, hunting, camping and sports gear retailer, and Choice Hotels. In November 2023, HGV signed a 10-year exclusive marketing agreement with Bass Pro that provides HGV with the right to market and sell vacation packages at kiosks in Bass Pro's and Cabela's retail locations and through other means. This agreement became effective on the Bluegreen Acquisition Date. As of September 30, 2024, HGV had sales and marketing operations at a total of 132 Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's Stores, including 9 virtual kiosks. Additionally, the joint venture between HGV and Bass Pro includes four high-end wilderness resorts under the Big Cedar Lodge brand. We also assumed an exclusive strategic relationship with Choice Hotels that involves several areas of its business, including a sales and marketing alliance that enables us to leverage Choice Hotels' brands, customer relationships and marketing channels to sell vacation packages.
Tour flow quality impacts key metrics such as close rate and VPG, defined in "Key Business and Financial Metrics-Real Estate Sales Operating Metrics." Additionally, the quality of tour flow impacts sales revenue and the collectability of our timeshare financing receivables. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 70% of our contract sales were to our existing owners, compared to 69% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
We provide financing for members purchasing our developed and acquired inventory and generate interest income on the loans. Our timeshare financing receivables are collateralized by the underlying VOIs and are generally structured as 10-year, fully-amortizing loans that bear a fixed interest rate typically ranging from 2.5% to 25% per annum. Financing propensity was 69% and 62% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We calculate financing propensity as contract sales volume of financed contracts originated in the period divided by all contract sales volume originated in the period.

Table of Contents
The interest rate on our loans is determined by, among other factors, the amount of the down payment, the borrower's credit profile and the loan term. The weighted-average FICO score for loans to U.S. and Canadian borrowers at the time of origination were as follows:

|
Prepayment is permitted without penalty. When a member defaults, we ultimately return their VOI to inventory for resale and that member no longer participates in our Clubs.
Some of our timeshare financing receivables have been pledged as collateral in our securitization transactions, which have in the past and may in the future provide funding for our business activities. In these securitization transactions, special purpose entities are established to issue various classes of debt securities which are generally collateralized by a single pool of assets consisting of timeshare financing receivables that we service and related cash deposits. For additional information see Note 6: Timeshare Financing Receivablesin our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In addition, we earn fees from servicing our securitized timeshare financing receivables and the loans provided by third-party developers of our fee-for-service projects to purchasers of their VOIs.
Resort Operations and Club Management
We enter into management agreements with the HOAs of the timeshare resorts developed by us or a third party. Each of the HOAs is governed by a board of directors comprised of owner and developer representatives that are charged with ensuring the resorts are well-maintained and financially stable. Our services include day-to-day operations of the resorts, maintenance of the resorts, preparation of books and financial records including reports, budgets and projections, arranging for annual audits and maintenance fee billing and collections and employment training and personnel oversight. Our HOA management agreements provide for a cost-plus management fee, which means we generally earn a fee equal to 10% to 15% of the costs to operate the applicable resort. As a result, the fees we earn are highly predictable due to the relatively fixed nature of resort operating expenses and our management fees are unaffected by changes in rental rate or occupancy. We are also reimbursed for the costs incurred to perform our services, principally related to personnel providing on-site services. The original terms of our management agreements typically range fromthree to five years and the agreements are subject to periodic renewal for one to three-year periods. Many of these agreements renew automatically unless either party provides advance notice of termination before the expiration of the term.
We also manage and operate the Clubs and exchange programs. When owners purchase a VOI, they are generally enrolled in a Club which allows the member to exchange their points for a number of vacation options. In addition to an annual membership fee, Club members pay incremental fees depending on exchanges they choose within the Club system.
We rent unsold VOI inventory, third-party inventory and inventory made available due to ownership exchanges through our Club programs. We earn a fee from rentals of third-party inventory. Additionally, we provide ancillary offerings including food and beverage, retail and spa offerings at these timeshare properties.
Key Business and Financial Metrics
Real Estate Sales Operating Metrics
We measure our performance using the following key operating metrics:
•Contract sales represents the total amount of VOI products (fee-for-service, just-in-time, developed, and points-based) under purchase agreements signed during the period where we have received a down payment of at least 10% of the contract price. Contract sales differ from revenues from the Sales of VOIs, netthat we report in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations due to the requirements for revenue recognition, as well as adjustments for incentives. While we do not record the purchase price of sales of VOI products developed by fee-for-service partners as revenue in our condensed consolidated financial statements, rather recording the commission earned as revenue in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe contract sales to be an important operational metric, reflective of the overall volume and pace of sales in our business and believe it provides meaningful comparability of our results to the results of our competitors which may source their VOI products differently. We believe that the presentation of contract sales on a combined basis (fee-for-service, just-in-time,
39
Table of Contents
developed and points-based) is most appropriate for the purpose of the operating metric; additional information regarding the split of contract sales, is included in "-Real Estate" below.
•Tour flow represents the number of sales presentations given at our sales centers during the period.
•VPG represents the sales attributable to tours at our sales locations and is calculated by dividing contract sales, excluding telesales, by tour flow. We consider VPG to be an important operating measure because it measures the effectiveness of our sales process, combining the average transaction price with the closing rate.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Stockholders
EBITDA, presented herein, is a financial measure that is not recognized under U.S. GAAP that reflects net income, before interest expense (excluding non-recourse debt), a provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as EBITDA, as previously defined, further adjusted to exclude certain items, including, but not limited to, gains, losses and expenses in connection with: (i) other gains, including asset dispositions and foreign currency transactions; (ii) debt restructurings/retirements; (iii) non-cash impairment losses; (iv) share-based and other compensation expenses; and (v) other items, including but not limited to costs associated with acquisitions, restructuring, amortization of premiums and discounts resulting from purchase accounting, and other non-cash and one-time charges.
Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Stockholders is Adjusted EBITDA excluding amounts attributable to the noncontrolling interest in Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations LLC, a joint venture in which HGV is deemed to hold a controlling financial interest based on its 51% equity interest ("Big Cedar"), its active role as the day-to-day manager of its activities, and majority voting control of its management committee.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Stockholders are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Stockholders may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
We believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Stockholders provide useful information to investors about us and our financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Stockholders are among the measures used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions; and (ii) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Stockholders are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common performance measure to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in our industry.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Stockholders have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flow or other methods of analyzing our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
•EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Stockholders do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Stockholders do not reflect our interest expense (excluding interest expense on non-recourse debt), or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our indebtedness;
•EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Stockholders do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
•EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Stockholders do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Stockholders do not reflect the effect on earnings or changes resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our future operations;
•EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Stockholders do not reflect any cash requirements for future replacements of assets that are being depreciated and amortized; and
•EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Stockholders may be calculated differently from other companies in our industry limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Stockholders should not be considered as discretionary cash available to us to reinvest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.
See below under "Segment Results" for reconciliation of our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Stockholders to net income attributable to stockholders and net income, our most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP Measures within Our Segments
Within each of our two reportable segments, we present additional profit and profit margin information for certain key activities-real estate, financing, resort and club management, and rental and ancillary services. These non-GAAP measures are used by our management team to evaluate the operating performance of each of our key activities, and to make day-to-day operating decisions. We believe these additional measures are also important in helping investors understand the performance and efficiency with which we are able to convert revenues for each of these primary activities into operating profit, both in dollars and as margins, and are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as one of common performance measures to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in our industry. Specifically:
•Sales revenuerepresents sales of VOIs, net, and Fee-for-service commissions and brand feesearned from the sale of fee-for-service VOIs. Fee-for-service commissions and brand feesrepresents sales, marketing, brand and other fees, which corresponds to the applicable line item from our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, adjusted by marketing revenue and other fees earned primarily from discounted marketing related packages which encompass a sales tour to prospective owners. Real estate expense represents costs of VOI sales and Sales and marketing expense, net. Sales and marketing expense, netrepresents sales and marketing expense, which corresponds to the applicable line item from our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, adjusted by marketing revenue and other fees earned primarily from discounted marketing related packages which encompass a sales tour to prospective owners. Both fee-for-service commissions and brand feesand sales and marketing expense, net, represent non-GAAP measures. We present these items net because it provides a meaningful measure of our underlying real estate profit related to our primary real estate activities which focus on the sales and costs associated with our VOIs.
•Real estate profitrepresents sales revenue less real estate expense. Real estate margin is calculated as a percentage by dividing real estate profit by sales revenue. We consider real estate profit margin to be an important non-GAAP operating measure because it measures the efficiency of our sales and marketing spending, management of inventory costs, and initiatives intended to improve profitability.
•Financing profitrepresents financing revenue, net of financing expense, both of which correspond to the applicable line items from our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Financing profit margin is calculated as a percentage by dividing financing profit by financing revenue. We consider this to be an important non-GAAP operating measure because it measures the efficiency and profitability of our financing business in connection with our VOI sales.
•Resort and club management profitrepresents resort and club management revenue, net of resort and club management expense, both of which correspond to the applicable line items from our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Resort and club management profit margin is calculated as a percentage by dividing resort and club management profit by resort and club management revenue. We consider this to be an important non-GAAP operating measure because it measures the efficiency and profitability of our resort and club management business that support our VOI sales business.
•Rental and ancillary services profitrepresents rental and ancillary services revenues, net of rental and ancillary services expenses, both of which correspond to the applicable line items from our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Rental and ancillary services profit margin is calculated as a percentage by dividing rental and ancillary services profit by rental and ancillary services revenue. We consider this to be an important non-GAAP operating measure because it measures our ability to convert available inventory and unoccupied rooms into revenue and profit by transient rentals, as well as profitability of other services, such as food and beverage, retail, spa offerings and other guest services.
Each of the foregoing four profit measures is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our calculation of such measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other

companies. Furthermore, these measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other methods of analyzing our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Such limitations include the fact that these measures only include those revenues and expenses related to one of the four specified operating activities as opposed to on a consolidated basis, and other limitations that are similar to those discussed above under "EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Stockholders." See below under "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Profit Measures to GAAP Measure" for reconciliation of these four profit measures to net income attributable to stockholders and net income, our most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Real Estate Sales and Financing Segment
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASC 606"), revenue and the related costs to fulfill and acquire the contract ("direct costs") from sales of VOIs under construction are deferred until the point in time when construction activities are deemed to be completed. The real estate sales and financing segment is impacted by construction related deferral and recognition activity. In periods where Sales of VOIs and related direct costs of projects under construction are deferred, margin percentages will generally contract as the indirect marketing and selling costs associated with these sales are recognized as incurred in the current period. In periods where previously deferred Sales of VOIs and related direct costs are recognized upon construction completion, margin percentages will generally expand as the indirect marketing and selling costs associated with these sales were recognized in prior periods.
The following table represents deferrals and recognitions of Sales of VOI revenue and direct costs for properties under construction:

General and administrative expenses increased by $4 million and $17 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023. Excluding $7 million and $26 million, respectively, related to the impact of the Bluegreen Acquisition, General and administrative expenses decreased by $3 million and $9 million when comparing the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 to the same periods in 2023 primarily due to interest expense for a legal matter that was settled in early 2024.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $15 million and $42 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, when compared to the same periods in 2023. The increases were due to certain assets acquired in connection with the Bluegreen Acquisition.
License fee expense increased by $12 million and $23 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, when compared to the same periods in 2023. The increase was primarily due to amendments to our License Agreement as a result of the Bluegreen Acquisition.

Acquisition and integration-related costs include direct expenses related to our recent acquisitions including integration costs, legal and other professional fees. Integration costs include technology-related costs, fees paid to management consultants, rebranding fees and employee-related costs such as severance and retention.For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, acquisition and integration-related costs increased by $24 million and $151 million when compared to the same periods in 2023. The increases were primarily driven by costs associated with the Bluegreen Acquisition.

(1) NM - fluctuation in terms of percentage change is not meaningful
The change in non-operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily due to an increase in interest expense of $39 million and an increase in income tax expense of $17 million. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in the debt balance outstanding used to fund the Bluegreen acquisition compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in income tax expense was primarily driven by a change in overall earnings compared to the same period in 2023.
The change in non-operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily due to an increase in interest expense of $117 million, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense of $43 million. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in the debt balance outstanding used to fund the Bluegreen acquisition compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily driven by an overall change in earnings partially offset by discrete items relative to income before taxes compared to the same period in 2023.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest
We include in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements the results of operations and financial condition of Big Cedar, the joint venture with Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, LLC in which HGV holds 51% equity interest. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest is the portion of Big Cedar that is attributable to Big Cedar Vacations, LLC, which holds the remaining 49% equity interest. Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest in Big Cedar was $3 million and $7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our cash management objectives are to maintain the availability of liquidity, minimize operational costs, make debt payments and fund future acquisitions and development projects. Our known short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of funds necessary to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures, including payroll and related benefits, legal costs, operating costs associated with the operation of our resorts and sales centers, interest and scheduled principal payments on our outstanding indebtedness, inventory-related purchase commitments, and capital expenditures for renovations and maintenance at our offices and sales centers. Our long-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of funds necessary to pay for scheduled debt maturities, inventory-related purchase commitments and costs associated with potential acquisitions and development projects, including rebranding.
We finance our short- and long-term liquidity needs primarily through cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from our operations, draws on our revolver credit facility, our non-recourse revolving timeshare credit facility ("Timeshare Facility"), and through periodic securitizations of our timeshare financing receivables.
•During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased 7.4 million shares for $307 million under our share repurchase programs. See Note 15: Earnings Per Share for additional information.
•As of September 30, 2024, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $297 million and restricted cash of $244 million. Restricted cash primarily consists of escrow deposits received on VOI sales and reserves related to non-recourse debt.
•On January 10, 2024, we completed an offering for $900 million of senior secured notes due 2032 ("Senior Notes due 2032"). See Note 11: Debt and Non-Recourse Debt for additional information.
•On January 17, 2024, we completed the acquisition of Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation ("Bluegreen") (the "Bluegreen Acquisition") in an all-cash transaction, with total consideration of approximately $1.6 billion. See Note 3: Acquisitions for additional information.

Table of Contents
•On January 17, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 4 (the "Amendment") to the Credit Agreement and incurred $900 million of new term loans that will mature on January 17, 2031. See Note 11: Debt and Non-Recourse Debt for additional information.
•In April 2024, we completed a securitization of approximately $240 million of gross timeshare financing receivables. The proceeds were used to pay down in part some of our existing debt and for other general corporate purposes. See Note 11: Debt and Non-Recourse Debt for additional information.
•In May 2024, we completed a securitization of approximately $375 million of gross timeshare financing receivables. The proceeds were used to pay down in part some of our existing debt and for other general corporate purposes. See Note 11: Debt and Non-Recourse Debt for additional information.
•As of September 30, 2024, we had fully paid down the $171 million in junior subordinated debentures outstanding. See Note 11: Debt & Non-recourse Debtfor more information.
•As of September 30, 2024, we had $308 million remaining borrowing capacity under the revolver facility.
•As of September 30, 2024, we had an aggregate of $750 million remaining borrowing capacity under our Timeshare Facility. As of September 30, 2024, we had $$1.7 billion of notes that were current on payments but not securitized. Of that figure, approximately $1.3 billion could be monetized through either warehouse borrowing or securitization while another $294 million of mortgage notes we anticipate being eligible following certain customary milestones such as first payment, deeding and recording. The Grand Islander and Bluegreen Timeshare Facilities were terminated in the first quarter of 2024.
We believe that our capital allocation strategy provides adequate funding for our operations, is flexible enough to fund our development pipeline, securitizes the optimal level of receivables, and provides the ability to be strategically opportunistic in the marketplace. We have made commitments with developers to purchase vacation ownership units at a future date to be marketed and sold under our Hilton Grand Vacations brand. As of September 30, 2024, our inventory-related purchase commitments totaled $52 million to be fulfilled over 2 years.

Operating Activities
Cash flow provided by operating activities is primarily generated from (1) sales and financing of VOIs and (2) net cash generated from managing our resorts, Club operations and providing related rental and ancillary services. Cash flows provided by operating activities primarily include funding our working capital needs and purchase of VOI inventory, including the purchase and development of real estate for future conversion to inventory. Our cash flows from operations generally vary due to the following factors related to the sale of our VOIs; the degree to which our owners finance their purchase and our owners' repayment of timeshare financing receivables; the timing of management and sales and marketing services provided; and cash outlays for VOI inventory acquisition and development. Additionally, cash flow from operations will also vary depending upon our sales mix of VOIs; over time, we generally receive more cash from the sale of an owned VOI as compared to that from a fee-for-service sale.
The change in net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to a decrease in net income, an increase in purchases of inventory from a third-party developer, and an increase in cash utilized for working capital, partially offset by an increase in provision for financing receivable losses and increases in depreciation and amortization expenses.

Investing Activities
Investing activities include cash paid for acquisitions, capital expenditures and software capitalization costs. Our capital expenditures include spending related to technology and buildings and leasehold improvements used to support sales and marketing locations, resort operations and corporate activities. We believe the renovations of our existing assets are necessary to stay competitive in the markets in which we operate.
Net cash used in investing activities was $1,514 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $47 million for the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to the Bluegreen Acquisition and increased software capitalization costs.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $971 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $270 million for the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to net proceeds from debt of $1,766 million, offset by net repayments of non-recourse debt of $428 million, an increase in payment for debt issuance costs of $46 million, and a $39 million increase in share repurchases when compared to 2023.
Contractual Obligations
Our commitments primarily relate to agreements with developers to purchase or construct vacation ownership units, operating leases, marketing and license fee agreements and obligations associated with our debt, non-recourse debt and the related interest. As of September 30, 2024, we were committed to approximately $9,289 million in contractual obligations over 10 years, $270 million of which will be fulfilled in the remainder of 2024. The ultimate amount and timing of certain commitments is subject to change pursuant to the terms of the respective arrangements, which could also allow for cancellation in certain circumstances. See Note 18: Commitments and Contingenciesand Note 11: Debt and Non-recourse Debtfor additional information.
We utilize surety bonds related to the sales of VOIs in order to meet regulatory requirements of certain states. The availability, terms and conditions and pricing of such bonding capacity are dependent on, among other things, continued financial strength and stability of the insurance company affiliates providing the bonding capacity, general availability of such capacity and our corporate credit rating. We have commitments from surety providers in the amount of $732 million as of September 30, 2024, which primarily consist of escrow, subsidy and construction related bonds.
Subsequent Events
On November 6, 2024, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated License Agreement (the "Amended License Agreement") with Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. ("Hilton"). The Amended License Agreement amends, restates and supersedes the First Amended and Restated License Agreement, dated as of March 10, 2021, between HGV and Hilton, as amended by the First Amendment, dated as of April 4, 2022, the Second Amendment, dated as of November 5, 2023, and the Third Amendment, dated as of January 16, 2024. The Amended License Agreement covers certain amendments relating to, among other things, our continued integration of the Bluegreen Acquisition, including a rebranding plan of the Bluegreen properties to the Hilton Grand Vacations brands and Hilton standards and certain matters related to Bluegreen's marketing arrangement with Choice Hotels International, Inc., which we assumed in connection with the Bluegreen Acquisition.
On November 7, 2024, we completed a $500 million securitization of timeshare loans through Hilton Grand Vacations Trust 2024-3 with an overall weighted average interest rate of 5.18% and an overall advance rate of 98%. The proceeds will primarily be used to pay down debt and for other general corporate purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. We have discussed those policies and estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. We manage our exposure to these risks by monitoring available financing alternatives and through pricing policies that may take into account currency exchange rates. Our exposure to market risk has not materially changed from what we previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) or our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of the 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 fraud, if any, within a company 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 and mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of controls and procedures to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls and procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the controls and procedures may have deteriorated.
In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, and due to the previously identified material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting that is described below, which is still being remediated, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2024.
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2023, related to ineffectively designed general information technology controls over user access for an IT application used to initiate revenue and inventory transactions. As a result, process-level automated controls and manual controls that are dependent on the completeness and accuracy of information derived from the affected IT application were also ineffective. There were no identified material misstatements to our current year financial statements, no restatements of prior period financial statements and no changes in previously released financial results required as a result of the control deficiencies.
Notwithstanding the previously identified material weakness, which is in the process of being remediated, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Ongoing Remediation Efforts to Address the Previously Identified Material Weakness
Management continues to execute its previously disclosed remediation plan that includesa comprehensive review of user access and levels across all software platforms, updating software as appropriate, updating and confirming appropriate user access levels, enhancing and revising the design of existing information technology controls and procedures, and adding additional controls and processes, as necessary to support internal controls over financial reporting.
54
Table of Contents
The previously identified material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the material weakness will be remediated by the end of 2024.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
On January 17, 2024, we completed the Bluegreen Acquisition which was accounted for as a business combination. We are currently in the process of assessing Bluegreen's internal controls over financial reporting and integrating Bluegreen with our existing internal controls over financial reporting. Otherthan with respect to the remediation efforts described above in connection with the previously identified material weakness, there were no other changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Information with respect to this item may be found in Note 18: Commitments and Contingencies, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As of September 30, 2024, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. These risk factors may be important to understanding statements in the Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part I, Item 1, "Financial Statements" and Part 1, Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of this Form 10-Q.
The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, contain forward-looking statements, and they may not be the only risks facing the Company. The future business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company can be affected by the risk factors described in such reports and by other factors currently unknown, that management presently believes not to be material, that management has made certain forward-looking projections, estimates or assumptions on, or that may rapidly evolve, develop or change. Any one or more of such factors could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual financial condition and results of operations to vary materially and adversely from past, or from anticipated future financial condition and results of operations. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and the trading price of our common stock. Because of these factors affecting our financial condition, key business operational metrics, and operating results, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
(c) Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On May 3, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to an aggregate of $500 million of its outstanding shares of common stock over a two-year period (the "2023 Repurchase Plan"). On August 7, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to an aggregate of $500 million of our outstanding shares of common stock over a two-year period (the "2024 Repurchase Plan"), which is in addition to the 2023 Share Repurchase Plan. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements and other market and economic conditions. The shares are retired upon repurchase. The stock repurchase programs may be suspended or discontinued at any time and will automatically expire at the end of the respective plan terms.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased the following shares:
