"Our strong top and bottom line results reflect the resiliency of our business model and the desire of our customers to prioritize vacations. Vacation ownership sales to new and existing owners were robust, with record-setting sales volume per guest driving our performance for the quarter," said Michael D. Brown, President and CEO of Travel + Leisure Co.

"Bookings at our vacation resorts in the second half of the year remain above 2019 driven by a similar number of reservations with a longer length of stay, reflecting the strength of consumer demand for leisure travel in the U.S. This gives us the confidence to raise our guidance for the full year."

(1) This press release includes adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted free cash flow, gross VOI sales and adjusted net income, which are metrics that are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"). See "Presentation of Financial Information" and the tables for the definitions and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Forward-looking non-GAAP measures are presented in this press release only on a non-GAAP basis because not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation is available without unreasonable effort.

Business Segment Results

Vacation Ownership

$ in millions	Q2 2022	Q2 2021	% change
Revenue	$735	$604	22 %
Adjusted EBITDA	$187	$137	36 %

Vacation Ownership revenue increased 22% to $735 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year. Gross vacation ownership interest (VOI) sales were $527 million compared to $383 million in the prior year and tours were 148,000 during the quarter compared to 117,000 in the same period last year. VPG increased 11% to $3,489.

Second quarter adjusted EBITDA was $187 million compared to $137 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by higher Gross VOI sales due to the ongoing recovery of operations from COVID-19, partially offset by an adjustment in the prior year to the COVID-19 related allowance for loan losses. The second quarter 2021 COVID-19 related allowance adjustment resulted in a $26 million increase to revenue and a $16 million net positive impact to Adjusted EBITDA.

Travel and Membership

$ in millions	Q2 2022	Q2 2021	% change
Revenue	$188	$194	(3) %
Adjusted EBITDA	$64	$71	(10) %

Travel and Membership revenue decreased 3% to $188 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was driven by the impact of COVID-19 with bookings shifting from the first quarter into the second quarter of 2021.

Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $64 million compared to $71 million in the prior year due to the revenue decrease and higher staffing and marketing costs to support new travel club launches.

At the end of the second quarter, the Company had $1.2 billion of liquidity in cash and cash equivalents and revolving credit facility availability.

Gross VOI sales of $530 million to $550 million

This guidance is presented only on a non-GAAP basis because not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is available without unreasonable effort, primarily due to uncertainties relating to the occurrence or amount of these adjustments that may arise in the future. Where one or more of the currently unavailable items is applicable, such items could be material, individually or in the aggregate, to GAAP reported results.

Presentation of Financial Information

Financial information discussed in this press release includes non-GAAP measures such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted free cash flow, gross VOI sales and adjusted net income/(loss), which include or exclude certain items, as well as non-GAAP guidance. The Company utilizes non-GAAP measures, defined in Table 6, on a regular basis to assess performance of its reportable segments and allocate resources. 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 when considered with GAAP measures as an additional tool for further understanding and assessing the Company’s ongoing operating performance by adjusting for items which in our view do not necessarily reflect ongoing performance. Management also internally uses these measures to assess operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions. Exclusion of items in the Company’s non-GAAP presentation should not be considered an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Full reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for the reported periods appear in the financial tables section of the press release. See definitions on Table 6 for an explanation of our non-GAAP measures.
