* Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release.
PARSIPPANY, N.J., April 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wyndham Worldwide
Corporation (NYSE: WYN) today announced results for the three months ended
March 31, 2009.
HIGHLIGHTS:
-- First quarter 2009 adjusted net income was $74 million, or $0.41
diluted
earnings per share (EPS), compared with adjusted net income of $62
million, or $0.35 diluted EPS, for the first quarter of 2008.
-- First quarter 2009 net cash from operating activities was
approximately
$210 million, compared with $87 million in the first quarter of 2008.
The remaining borrowing capacity on the Company's revolving credit
facility increased to approximately $355 million compared with
approximately $290 million as of December 31, 2008.
"Wyndham Worldwide delivered solid first quarter results despite strong
economic headwinds and a significant reduction in revenues due to the
realignment of our vacation ownership business," said Stephen P. Holmes,
Chairman and CEO, Wyndham Worldwide. "Adjusted EPS was up 17% from last year,
and the Company generated net cash from operating activities of approximately
$210 million. These results reflect the durability of our businesses and the
resilience of our fee-for-service business models, as well as strong execution
and continued cost discipline."
FIRST QUARTER 2009 OPERATING RESULTS
First quarter revenues of $901 million declined by 11% from the prior-year
period, due to adverse foreign currency effects resulting from the
strengthening U.S. dollar in the vacation exchange and rental business, the
previously announced initiative to reduce sales in the Company's vacation
ownership business as well as an increased loan loss provision. These items
were partially offset by the recognition of previously deferred vacation
ownership revenue. Under the percentage-of-completion (POC) method of
accounting for the sale of vacation ownership interests, the Company
recognized $67 million of previously deferred revenue during the first quarter
of 2009, while first quarter 2008 reported revenues were reduced by $82
million of deferred revenue.
Reported net income for the first quarter of 2009 was $45 million, or $0.25
diluted EPS, compared with net income of $42 million, or $0.24 diluted EPS,
for the first quarter of 2008.
Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2009 was $74 million, or $0.41
per diluted EPS, an increase of 19%, or 17% per diluted EPS, as compared with
adjusted net income of $62 million, or $0.35 per diluted EPS, for the first
quarter of 2008. 2009 first quarter adjusted EPS excludes the after-tax
impact of $29 million in restructuring costs and legacy items. First quarter
2008 adjusted EPS excludes the after-tax impact of $20 million related to the
Company's rebranding initiative and legacy items.
BUSINESS UNIT RESULTS
Lodging (Wyndham Hotel Group)
Revenues were $154 million in the first quarter of 2009, a decline of 9%
compared with the first quarter of 2008, primarily reflecting a decline in
worldwide revenue per available room (RevPAR) and lower property management
reimbursable revenues.
In constant currency, the first quarter of 2009 system-wide RevPAR decreased
11.3%, reflecting declines of 13.4% and 5.5% in domestic and international
RevPAR, respectively. Including the impact of foreign currency, system-wide
RevPAR declined 14.0% in the first quarter of 2009.
First quarter 2009 EBITDA was $35 million, a 24% decline from the first
quarter of 2008, primarily driven by the decline in worldwide RevPAR and $3
million of restructuring costs, partly offset by lower marketing expenses.
Excluding restructuring costs, first quarter 2009 adjusted EBITDA would have
been $38 million, a 17% decrease from the prior year.
As of March 31, 2009, the Company's hotel system consisted of approximately
7,000 properties and 588,500 rooms, of which 21% were international. The
development pipeline included approximately 1,000 hotels and 108,600 rooms, of
which 54% were new construction and 39% were international.
Vacation Exchange and Rentals (Group RCI)
Revenues were $287 million in the first quarter of 2009, a 16% decrease
compared with the first quarter of 2008, primarily related to the impact of a
stronger U.S. dollar. In constant currency, revenues decreased 5%, reflecting
lower rental and ancillary revenues.
Annual dues and exchange revenues were $127 million, a 7% decline from the
first quarter of 2008, or relatively flat in constant currency. The revenues
in constant currency reflect a 4% increase in the average number of members
and a 5% decline in revenue per member.
Vacation rental revenues were $130 million, a 19% decrease from the first
quarter of 2008. In constant currency, revenues generated from rental
transactions and related services decreased $5 million, or 3%. The revenues
in constant currency were driven by a 3% decrease in the average net price per
rental. Rental transaction volume was flat compared with the first quarter of
2008.
Other ancillary revenues were $30 million, a 32% decrease from the first
quarter of 2008. In constant currency, revenues decreased 25% due to lower
miscellaneous fees and our termination of a low margin travel service
contract.
First quarter 2009 EBITDA was $76 million, compared with $93 million in the
first quarter of 2008. Excluding $4 million of restructuring costs, first
quarter adjusted EBITDA was $80 million, a 14% decline from the prior year
period. Excluding the unfavorable net effect of foreign currency translations
of $12 million, adjusted EBITDA would have decreased $1 million, or 1%, from
the first quarter of 2008.
Vacation Ownership (Wyndham Vacation Ownership)
Gross Vacation Ownership Interest (VOI) sales were $280 million for the first
quarter of 2009, down 39% from the first quarter of 2008. This decrease was
driven by the previously announced initiative to reduce sales in response to
the disjointed capital markets that included a refocusing of the business'
sales and marketing efforts that resulted in fewer tours.
Total segment revenues were $462 million in the first quarter of 2009, down 8%
from the first quarter of 2008, reflecting the previously mentioned lower tour
flow and a higher provision for loan losses. This was partially offset by the
recognition of revenue that was previously deferred under the POC method of
accounting and a higher volume per guest (VPG), which increased 12% from the
first quarter of 2008.
EBITDA for the first quarter of 2009 was $44 million, compared with $7 million
in the first quarter of 2008, driven by a $70 million impact from the net
increase in the recognition of revenue previously deferred under the POC
method of accounting, offset by the net impact related to the planned
reduction of VOI sales volume as well as restructuring costs. Excluding $35
million of restructuring costs, first quarter 2009 adjusted EBITDA was $79
million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $35 million in the first quarter of
2008, which excludes a $28 million non-cash impairment charge relating to the
Company's rebranding initiative.
Other Items
Interest expense in the first quarter of 2009 was $19 million, unchanged from
the first quarter of 2008. Depreciation and amortization declined $1 million
to $43 million.
Balance Sheet Information as of March 31, 2009:
-- Cash and cash equivalents of approximately $135 million, unchanged
from
December 31, 2008
-- Vacation ownership contract receivables, net, of $3.2 billion compared
with $3.3 billion at December 31, 2008

billion at December 31, 2008
-- Other debt of $1.9 billion, compared with $2.0 billion at December 31,
2008; remaining borrowing capacity on revolving credit facility was
approximately $355 million compared with approximately $290 million as
of December 31, 2008
A schedule of debt is included in the financial tables section of this press
release.
Outlook
For the second quarter of 2009, the Company expects adjusted EPS of $0.36 -
$0.41.
The Company reaffirms full-year 2009 guidance:
-- Revenues of $3.5 - $3.9 billion
-- Adjusted EBITDA of $760 - $810 million
-- Depreciation and amortization expense of $185- $195 million
-- Interest expense, net of $80 - $90 million
-- Effective tax rate of approximately 39%
-- Adjusted net income of $289 - $331 million
-- Adjusted EPS of $1.61 - $1.85 based on weighted average shares of
approximately 179 million
The guidance reflects assumptions used for internal planning purposes. All
guidance excludes legacy items and restructuring costs, if any, which may have
a positive or negative impact on reported results. If economic conditions
improve or deteriorate materially from current levels, these assumptions and
our guidance may change materially.

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 interest on securitized vacation ownership
debt), interest income 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 industry
segments which, when considered with GAAP measures, the Company believes
gives a more complete understanding of the Company's 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 reportable
segments, as well as reconcile EBITDA to net income for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:

forward.
(c) Marketing and reservation revenues represent fees we receive from
franchised and managed hotels that are to be expended for marketing
purposes or the operation of a centralized, brand-specific reservation
system. These fees are typically based on a percentage of the gross room
revenues of each hotel. Marketing and reservation fees are also included
in Table 3 (1 of 2) within Royalty, Marketing and Reservation Revenues.

completion method of accounting. Under the percentage of completion
method of accounting, a portion of the total revenue from a vacation
ownership contract sale is not recognized if the construction of the
vacation resort has not yet been fully completed. This revenue will be
recognized in future periods in proportion to the costs incurred as
compared to the total expected costs for completion of construction of the
vacation resort. Positive amounts represent the recognition of previously
deferred revenues.

contract receivables originated during the period, which is recorded as a
contra revenue to vacation ownership interest sales on the Consolidated
and Combined Statements of Income.

(a) Represents (i) a 364-day, non-recourse vacation ownership bank conduit
facility with a term through November 2009 and capacity of $943 million
and (ii) the outstanding balance of the Company's prior bank conduit
facility that ceased operating as a revolving facility as of October 29,
2008 and will amortize in accordance with its terms, which is expected to
be less than two years.
(b) This debt is collateralized by $2,981 million, $2,906 million, $2,721
million, $2,723 million and $2,667 million of underlying vacation
ownership contract receivables and related assets at March 31, 2009,
December 31, 2008, September 30, 2008, June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008,
respectively.
(c) The balance at March 31, 2009 represents $800 million aggregate
principal less $3 million of unamortized discount.
(d) The Company's revolving credit facility has a borrowing capacity of
$900 million. At March 31, 2009, the Company has $29 million of
outstanding letters of credit and a remaining borrowing capacity of $354
million. The increase in balance from September 30, 2008 to December 31,
2008 was primarily due to the Company drawing $215 million on its
revolving credit facility in conjunction with the closing of the Company's
2008 bank conduit facility during November 2008. The increase in balance
from June 30, 2008 to September 30, 2008 primarily related to amounts
borrowed to fund the July 2008 acquisition of U.S. Franchise Systems, Inc.
and its Microtel Inns & Suites and Hawthorn Suites hotel brands.
