"We delivered solid results for the quarter, with our new offerings and the teams' diligent commitment to our process improvements and efficiency efforts combining to produce strong growth in transactions, VPG and contract sales," said Mark Wang, CEO of Hilton Grand Vacations. "We carried good momentum into April - with continued traction from our launch of HGV Max to our Bluegreen members along with sales of our new Ka Haku project - and our leading demand indicators remain steady. We've also taken proactive steps to maintain that momentum in the face of increased uncertainty due to the recent macroeconomic and market volatility, with additional initiatives aimed at further improving our efficiency, strengthening our value proposition, and improving our member engagement. These initiatives will support our earnings and cash flow goals in the short term, as well as drive additional value creation for the business over the long term."

This change did not result in any reclassification of revenues and had no impact on the Company's consolidated results for any of the periods presented.

Consolidated Segment Highlights – First Quarter of 2025

Real Estate Sales and Financing

For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, Real Estate Sales and Financing segment revenues were $645 million, a decrease of $42 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Real Estate Sales and Financing segment Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA profit margin were $133 million and 20.6%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to $206 million and 30.0%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Real Estate Sales and Financing segment revenues in the first quarter of 2025 decreased primarily due to a $56 million decrease in sales revenue partially offset by a $21 million increase in financing revenue.

Real Estate Sales and Financing segment Adjusted EBITDA reflects a net construction net deferral of $68 million due to the deferral of sales and related expenses of VOIs under construction for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to $3 million net recognition of sales and related expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, which increased reported Adjusted EBITDA attributable to stockholders.

Contract sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, increased $90 million to $721 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024. For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, tours increased by 0.2% and VPG increased by 14.4% compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024. For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, fee-for-service contract sales represented 15.4% of contract sales compared to 15.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Financing revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, increased by $21 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024. This was driven primarily by an increase in the weighted average interest rate of 5 basis points for the originated portfolio and an increase in the weighted average carrying balance of the timeshare financing receivables portfolio as of March 31, 2025, compared to March 31, 2024, as well as a reduction in the premium amortization of acquired timeshare financing receivables.

Resort Operations and Club Management

For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, Resort Operations and Club Management segment revenue was $391 million, an increase of $31 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Resort Operations and Club Management segment Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA profit margin were $133 million and 34.0%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to $134 million and 37.2%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and remained consistent when compared to the same period in 2024.

Inventory

The estimated value of the Company's total contract sales pipeline is $13.2 billion at current pricing.

The total pipeline includes $10.3 billion of sales relating to inventory that is currently available for sale at open or soon-to-open projects. The remaining $2.9 billion of sales is related to inventory at new or existing projects that will become available for sale in the future upon registration, delivery or construction.

Owned inventory represents 91.4% of the Company's total pipeline. Approximately 79.3% of the owned inventory pipeline is currently available for sale.

Fee-for-service inventory represents 8.6% of the Company's total pipeline. Approximately 62.7% of the fee-for-service inventory pipeline is currently available for sale.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Total cash and cash equivalents were $259 million and total restricted cash was $311 million as of March 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $4.5 billion of corporate debt, net outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 5.993% and $2.4 billion of non-recourse debt, net outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 5.342%.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company's liquidity position consisted of $259 million of unrestricted cash and $870 million remaining borrowing capacity under the revolver facility.

As of March 31, 2025, HGV has $100 million remaining borrowing capacity under the Timeshare Facility. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $951 million of notes that were current on payments but not securitized. Of that figure, approximately $519 million could be monetized through either warehouse borrowing or securitization while another $210 million of mortgage notes anticipate being eligible following certain customary milestones such as first payment, deeding and recording.

Free cash flow was $6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to $(19) million for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted free cash flow was $185 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to $(374) million for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted free cash flow for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and 2024 includes add-backs of $54 million and $121 million, respectively for acquisition and integration related costs.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company's total net leverage on a trailing 12-month basis, inclusive of all anticipated cost synergies, was approximately 3.9x.

Financing Business Optimization

In light of HGV's recent capital markets consolidation and strong track record of execution in securitization markets, the Company intends to take advantage of its significant excess liquidity position by optimizing its securitization strategy through increased use of non-recourse credit markets, generating incremental cash flow that can be deployed for additional capital returns and business reinvestment.

Total Construction Deferrals and/or Recognitions Included in Results Reported Under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 ("ASC 606")

The Company's Adjusted EBITDA as reported under ASC 606 includes construction-related recognitions and deferrals of revenues and related expenses as detailed in Table T-1 below. Under ASC 606, the Company defers revenues and related expenses pertaining to sales at projects that occur during periods when that project is under construction until the period when construction is completed.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, including Adjusted Net Income or Loss, Adjusted Net Income or Loss Attributable to Stockholders, Adjusted Diluted EPS, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Stockholders, EBITDA profit margin, Adjusted EBITDA profit margin, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, profits and profit margins for HGV's key activities - real estate, financing, resort and club management, and rental and ancillary services. Please see the tables in this press release and "Definitions" for additional information and reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures.

The Company believes 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 key 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.

The Company refers to Adjusted EBITDA guidance excluding deferrals and recognitions, which does not take into account any future deferrals of revenues and direct expenses related to the sales of VOIs under construction that are recognized, only on a non-GAAP basis, as the quantification of reconciling items to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is not readily available without unreasonable effort due to uncertainties associated with the timing and amount of such items. These items may create a material difference between the non-GAAP and comparable U.S. GAAP results. We define Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Stockholders as Adjusted EBITDA excluding amounts attributable to the noncontrolling interest in HGV/Big Cedar Vacations in which HGV owns a 51% interest ("Big Cedar").

DEFINITIONS

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 (loss), 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 calculated as Adjusted EBITDA, as previously defined, excluding amounts attributable to the noncontrolling interest in Big Cedar.

EBITDA profit margin, presented herein, represents EBITDA, as previously defined, divided by total revenues. Adjusted EBITDA profit margin, presented herein, represents Adjusted EBITDA, as previously defined, divided by total revenues.

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 (loss) 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.

HGV believes 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 (loss), 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.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Stockholders and Adjusted Diluted EPS Attributable to Stockholders

Adjusted Net Income, presented herein, is calculated as net income (loss) further adjusted to exclude certain items, including, but not limited to, gains, losses and expenses in connection with costs associated with acquisitions, restructuring, amortization of premiums and discounts resulting from purchase accounting, and other non-cash and one-time charges. Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Stockholders, presented herein, is calculated as Adjusted Net Income, as defined above, excluding amounts attributable to the noncontrolling interest in Big Cedar. Adjusted Diluted EPS, presented herein, is calculated as Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Stockholders, as defined above, divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Stockholders and Adjusted Diluted EPS are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our definition may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Stockholders and Adjusted Diluted EPS are useful to assist our investors in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for the current reporting period and, where provided, over different reporting periods.

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow represents cash from operating activities less non-inventory capital spending.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow represents free cash flow further adjusted for net non-recourse debt activities and other one-time adjustment items including, but not limited to, costs associated with acquisitions.

We consider Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to be liquidity measures not recognized under U.S. GAAP that provide useful information to both management and investors about the amount of cash generated by operating activities that can be used for investing and financing activities, including strategic opportunities and debt service. We do not believe these non-GAAP measures to be a representation of how we will use excess cash.

Non-GAAP Measures within Our Segments

Sales revenue represents sales of VOIs, net, and Fee-for-service commissions earned from the sale of fee-for-service VOIs. Fee-for-service commissions represents Fee-for-service commissions, package sales and other fees, which corresponds to the applicable line item from our condensed consolidated statements of income, adjusted by package sales 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, net represents sales and marketing expense, which corresponds to the applicable line item from our condensed consolidated statements of income, adjusted by package sales and other fees earned primarily from discounted marketing related packages which encompass a sales tour to prospective owners. Both fee-for-service commissions and 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 profit represents 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 profit represents financing revenue, net of financing expense, both of which correspond to the applicable line items from our condensed consolidated statements of income. 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 profit represents resort and club management revenue, net of resort and club management expense, both of which correspond to the applicable line items from our condensed consolidated statements of income. 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 profit represents rental and ancillary services revenues, net of rental and ancillary services expenses, both of which correspond to the applicable line items from our condensed consolidated statements of income. 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.

Real Estate 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, net that we report in our condensed consolidated statements of income 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 HGV's results the results of our competitors which may source their VOI products differently. HGV believes that the presentation of contract sales on a combined basis (fee-for-service, just-in-time, 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 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our most recent Quarterly Report on form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025.

Developed Inventory refers to VOI inventory that is sourced from projects developed by HGV.

Fee-for-Service Inventory refers to VOI inventory HGV sells and manages on behalf of third-party developers.

Just-in-Time Inventory refers to VOI inventory primarily sourced in transactions that are designed to closely correlate the timing of the acquisition with HGV's sale of that inventory to purchasers.

Points-Based Inventory refers to VOI sales that are backed by physical real estate that is or will be contributed to a trust.

Net Owner Growth ("NOG") represents the year-over-year change in membership.

Tour flow represents the number of sales presentations given at HGV's sales centers during the period.

Volume per guest ("VPG") represents the sales attributable to tours at HGV's sales locations and is calculated by dividing contract sales, excluding telesales, by tour flow. HGV considers VPG to be an important operating measure because it measures the effectiveness of HGV's sales process, combining the average transaction price with closing rate.
