FOURTH QUARTER 2015 OPERATING RESULTS

Fourth quarter revenues were $1.3 billion, an increase of 6% from the prior year period.

 

Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA was $273 million, compared with $252 million in the prior year period, an increase of 8%. Year-over-year adjusted EBITDA comparisons were adversely affected by foreign currency effects of $8 million in 2015. On a currency-neutral basis and excluding acquisitions and a divestiture, adjusted EBITDA also increased 8%.

 

Adjusted net income was $113 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, compared with $112 million, or $0.90 per diluted share for the same period in 2014. Net income and earnings per share benefited from strong operating results, but were reduced by foreign currency effects and higher interest expense. EPS also benefited from the Company’s share repurchase program.

 

Reported net income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $140 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, compared with $81 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2014. Reported net income in both periods reflects several items excluded from adjusted net income. The net result of these items favorably impacted fourth quarter 2015 net income by $27 million and unfavorably impacted fourth quarter 2014 net income by $31 million. Full reconciliations of adjusted net income to GAAP results appear in Table 8 of this press release. Year-over-year fourth quarter reported net income comparisons also were negatively impacted by foreign currency effects.

 

FULL YEAR 2015 OPERATING RESULTS

Revenues for full year 2015 were $5.5 billion, an increase of 5% over the prior year period.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for full year 2015 was $1,297 million, compared with $1,238 million in the prior year period. Year-over-year adjusted EBITDA comparisons were adversely affected by foreign currency effects of $46 million in 2015. On a currency-neutral basis and excluding acquisitions and a divestiture, adjusted EBITDA increased 8%.

 

Adjusted net income for the full year 2015 was $608 million, or $5.11 per diluted share, compared with $573 million, or $4.53 per diluted share, for the prior year. The increases reflect stronger operating results across all of the Company’s businesses, partially offset by foreign currency effects. EPS also benefited from the Company’s share repurchase program.

 

Reported net income for full year 2015 was $612 million, or $5.14 per diluted share, compared with reported net income of $529 million, or $4.18 per diluted share, for the prior year period. Reported net income reflects several items excluded from adjusted net income. The net result of these items favorably impacted full year 2015 net income by $4 million and unfavorably impacted full year 2014 net income by $44 million. Full reconciliations of adjusted results to GAAP results appear in Table 8 of this press release.

 

 
 

 

FULL YEAR 2015 CASH FLOW

Free cash flow was $769 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared with $749 million for the same period in 2014. The increase reflects strong operating results and lower capital expenditures. In addition, 2015 free cash flow was unfavorably impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For the year ended December 31, 2015, net cash provided by operating activities was $991 million, compared with $984 million in the prior year period. The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.

Revenues were $314 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, an 18% increase compared with the fourth quarter 2014.

In constant currency, excluding acquisitions and the impact of the increase in the inter-segment licensing fee rate charged for use of the Wyndham brand trade name, revenues increased 6% and adjusted EBITDA increased 10%. Results reflect higher royalty and management fees and growth in our Wyndham Rewards credit card program.

Presentation of Financial Information

Financial information discussed in this press release includes non-GAAP measures, which include or exclude certain items.  These non-GAAP measures differ from reported GAAP results and are intended to illustrate what management believes are relevant period-over-period comparisons and are helpful to investors as an additional tool for further understanding and assessing the Company’s ongoing core operating performance. Exclusion of items in our non-GAAP presentation should not be considered an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. A reconciliation of reported GAAP results to the comparable non-GAAP information appears in the financial tables section of the press release. It is not practicable to provide a reconciliation of forecasted adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because certain items cannot be reasonably estimated or predicted at this time. Any such items could be significant to the Company’s reported results.

OPERATING RESULTS OF REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

(In millions)

 

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

 

The following tables summarize net revenues and EBITDA for the Company's reportable segments, as well as reconcile EBITDA to Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:

OPERATING STATISTICS

 

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

 

Hotel Group

 

Number of Rooms: Represents the number of rooms at hotel group properties at the end of the period which are either (i) under franchise and/or management agreements, or company owned and (ii) properties under affiliation agreements for which the Company receives a fee for reservation and/or other services provided.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Destination Network

 

Average Number of Members: Represents members in our vacation exchange programs who paid annual membership dues as of the end of the period or who are within the allowed grace period. For additional fees, such participants are entitled to exchange intervals for intervals at other properties affiliated with the Company's vacation exchange business. In addition, certain participants may exchange intervals for other leisure-related services and products.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Vacation Ownership

 

Gross Vacation Ownership Interest Sales: Represents sales of vacation ownership interest (VOIs), including WAAM sales, before the net effect of percentage-of-completion accounting and loan loss provisions. See Table 9 for a reconciliation of Gross VOI sales to vacation ownership interest sales.

 

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

 

Volume per Guest (VPG): Represents Gross VOI sales (excluding tele-sales upgrades, which are non-tour upgrade sales) divided by the number of tours. The Company has excluded non-tour upgrade sales in the calculation of VPG because non-tour upgrade sales are generated by a different marketing channel. See Table 9 for a detail of tele-sales upgrades for 2012-2015.

 

General

 

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

 

Currency-Neutral: Represents a comparison eliminating the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations between periods (foreign currency translation) and the impact caused by any foreign exchange related activities (i.e., hedges, balance sheet remeasurements and/or adjustments).

Additionally, the non-recourse debt that is securitized through the SPEs is legally not a liability of the Company and thus, the creditors of these SPEs have no recourse to the Company for principal and interest.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(In millions)

 

FREE CASH FLOW  

We define free cash flow to be net cash provided by operating activities less property and equipment additions which we also refer to as capital expenditures.

 

We believe free cash flow to be a useful operating performance measure to evaluate the ability of our operations to generate cash for uses other than capital expenditures and, after debt service and other obligations, our ability to grow our business through acquisitions, development advances and equity investments, as well as our ability to return cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. A limitation of using free cash flow versus the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities, net cash used in investing activities and net cash used in financing activities as a means for evaluating Wyndham Worldwide is that free cash flow does not represent the total cash movement for the period as detailed in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

 

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