BLUEGREEN VACATIONS CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2018 RESULTS

• 2Q18 Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) Increases 6%
  
  
• 3% Growth in System-Wide Sales of Vacation Ownership Interests
  
  
• Selling and Marketing Expenses Decreases to 48% of System-Wide Sales
  
  
• Cap-Light Revenue ⁽¹⁾ Increases to 70% of Total Revenue
  
  
• Commences Expansion of Resorts and Sales Offices; Acquires First Resort in Texas, Additional Fee-Based Service Contract in New Orleans and Exclusive Inventory and Resort Management Agreement for New York City Resort

BOCA RATON, Florida (August 2, 2018) – Bluegreen Vacations Corporation (NYSE: BXG) ("Bluegreen" or the “Company") today reported its second quarter 2018 financial results.

Shawn B. Pearson, Chief Executive Officer and President said, “We are pleased with our second quarter results, which saw a 6% increase in earnings per share highlighted by a 3% increase in system-wide sales of vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) and reduction in selling and marketing expenses to 48% of sales, marking the third consecutive quarter we’ve generated improvement across these key growth metrics. We also benefited from a reduced effective income tax rate due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”).

“While our sales growth in the second quarter chiefly reflected same store sales increases, we made investments that we believe will contribute to growth in both sales and management revenues in the future. Most significantly, we added two outstanding resorts to our network, the Éilan Hotel & Spa in San Antonio, our first resort in Texas, and The Marquee in New Orleans, Louisiana.  We also entered into an exclusive agreement to acquire inventory and, by 2021, the resort management contract at The Manhattan Club in New York City. All three resorts have planned frontline sales centers which, in addition to six other currently planned new sales centers, will put Bluegreen on pace for sales capacity expansion, of over 80,000 square feet of prime sales center space to be open by summer 2019. 

“We believe Bluegreen is well-positioned for future growth in the exciting and fast-growing vacation ownership sector.   We believe that we will benefit from our unique resort offerings, which target middle-America and millennial consumers, our digital initiatives, and our robust strategic partnerships as we continue to grow VOI sales and pursue the creation of long-term value for our shareholders,” Pearson said.

Effective income tax rate		26	%			39	%

(1)	Bluegreen's "capital-light" revenue includes revenue from the sales of VOIs under fee-based sales and marketing arrangements, just-in-time inventory acquisition arrangements, and secondary market arrangements, as well as other fee-based services revenue and cost reimbursements revenue.

Income before non-controlling interest and provision for income tax decreased $3.4 million or 8.0% in the second quarter of 2018 (“2Q18”) compared to the second quarter of 2017 (“2Q17”). This decrease was primarily a result of:

• Cost of VOIs Sold increased $5.0 million to 10% of Sales of VOIs in 2Q18 compared to 3% in 2Q17. In 2Q17, Bluegreen benefited from a $5.1 million reduction to Cost of VOIs Sold ($3.1 million net of income tax), in connection with the implementation of a revised pricing matrix, with no such comparable benefit in 2Q18.   Excluding this benefit from 2Q17, Adjusted EBITDA would have increased 5% and EPS would have increased $0.04 or 23%. 

• General and Administrative Expenses – Corporate & Other increased $4.4 million in 2Q18 compared to 2Q17, as a result of:

• Higher self-insured health care costs;
• Higher outside legal expenses in connection with a new focus on vigorously defending claims which the Company believes to be frivolous;
• Increased depreciation expense in connection with information technology assets;
• Executive severance expense related to continuing corporate realignment activities commenced in December 2017; and
• Investor and public relations activities related expenses.

These increased expenses were partially offset by growth in profits from our Sales of VOIs and Financing segment as well as our Resort Operations and Club Management segment, more fully described below.

(1)	Bluegreen's "capital-light" revenue included revenue from the sales of VOIs under fee-based sales and marketing arrangements, just-in-time inventory acquisition arrangements, and secondary market arrangements, as well as other fee-based services revenue and cost reimbursements revenue.

Income before non-controlling interest and provision for income tax decreased $3.5 million or 5% in the first half of 2018 (“1H18”) compared to the first half of 2017 (“1H17”). This decrease was primarily a result of (i) Cost of VOIs Sold increased $3.7 million to 7% of Sales of VOIs in 1H18 compared to 4% in 1H17 (as indicated above, there was a $5.1 million benefit to Cost of VOIs Sold in 2Q17) and (ii)  General and Administrative Expenses – Corporate & Other increased $10.5 million in 1H18 compared to 1H17. 

These increased expenses were partially offset by growth in profits from our Sales of VOIs and Financing segment as well as our Resort Operations and Club Management segment, more fully described below.

Segment Results – Second Quarter 2018
(dollars in millions, except per guest and per transaction amounts)

Sales of VOIs and Financing Segment

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2018				2017				% Change
System-wide sales of VOIs	$	172.0			$	166.4			3
Financing revenue, net of financing expense  relating to the sale of VOIs	$	15.2			$	15.3			(1	)
Net carrying cost VOI inventory	$	1.7			$	0.7			133
General and administrative expenses - sales and

Average sales price per transaction	$	15,442			$	15,475			—
Guest tours		65,570				70,972			(8	)
Sale-to-tour conversion ratio		17.1	%			15.3	%		12
Sales to the Company's existing owners as
percentage of system-wide sales of VOIs		49	%			47	%		3
Sales volume per guest ("VPG")	$	2,646			$	2,366			12
Provision for Loan Losses as a percentage of gross
sales of VOIs		16	%			18	%
Costs of VOIs sold as a percentage of sales		10	%			3	%
Selling and marketing expenses, as a percentage
of system-wide sales of VOIs		48	%			52	%
Weighted-average interest rate on notes receivable
at period end		15.4	%			15.5	%

The Company has continued its initiatives to screen the credit qualifications of potential marketing guests, which the Company believes has resulted in both increased VPG and a lower number of Guest Tours in 2Q18 compared to 2Q17.

2Q18 Selling and marketing expenses decreased as a percentage of System-wide sales due to the increased VPG noted above, the higher percentage of sales to the Company’s existing owners and the reduction of certain fixed selling and marketing expenses in connection with the “corporate realignment” initiative commenced during the fourth quarter of 2017.

The Company previously disclosed a dispute regarding commissions paid to Bass Pro, Inc. (“Bass Pro”) under a marketing and promotions agreement.  As previously disclosed, in order to demonstrate good faith, the Company paid $4.8 million to Bass Pro in October 2017 in connection with the dispute, pending future discussion and resolution of the matter. On July 23, 2018, Bass Pro again raised the same issue regarding the commission calculation since the $4.8 million payment and requested additional information regarding the commission calculation as well as other amounts payable under the agreements, including reimbursements paid to Bluegreen.  The issues raised by Bass Pro have not impacted current operations under the marketing agreement or relative to Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, LLC, the Company’s 51%-owned joint venture with an affiliate of Bass Pro.  The Company intends to formally respond to Bass Pro with its view on these matters and intends to provide Bass Pro with all appropriately requested information. While the Company does not believe that any material additional amounts are due to Bass Pro as a result of these matters, any change in the payments or reimbursements made under the agreements could impact future results.

The decrease in Financing revenue, net of financing expense, was primarily attributable to the higher cost of borrowing and the lower weighted-average interest rate on notes receivable.  The decrease in the weighted-average interest rate was primarily attributable to the introduction of “risk-based pricing” pursuant to which borrowers’ interest rates are determined based on their FICO score at the point of sale.

Resort Operations and Club Management Segment
(dollars in millions)

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2018			2017			% Change
Resort operations and  club management revenue	$	41.3		$	36.1		14
Segment operating profit	$	13.3		$	10.7		25
Segment Adjusted EBITDA	$	13.8			11.1		24
Resorts managed at quarter end		49			47

Increases are primarily due to the two additional resort management contracts added since June 30, 2017.

Weighted-average interest rate on notes receivable

The average annual default rate for the twelve months ended June 30, 2018 was 8.43%, compared to 7.96% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017.  The Company believes that a significant portion of the default increase is due to the receipt of letters from attorneys who purport to represent certain VOI owners and who have encouraged such owners to become delinquent and ultimately default on their obligations.

Resort Operations and Club Management Segment
(dollars in millions)

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2018			2017			% Change
Resort operations and  club management revenue	$	82.8		$	74.1		12
Segment operating profit	$	25.0		$	20.8		20
Segment Adjusted EBITDA	$	25.8			21.6		19
Resorts managed at quarter end		49			47

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2018, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $205.7 million. Bluegreen had availability of approximately $140.5 million under its receivable-backed purchase and credit facilities, inventory lines of credit and corporate credit line as of June 30, 2018, subject to eligible collateral and the terms of the facilities, as applicable.

Free cash flow, which the Company defines as cash flow from operating activities, less capital expenditures, was $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $18.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in free cash flow was primarily attributable to sales office expansions, increased information technology spending, acquisition of secondary market and just-in-time inventory, and decreased working capital, partially offset by lower income tax payments.  The Company believes the Tax Act will continue to have a favorable impact on income tax payments in the future.

On April 6, 2018, Bluegreen and Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, LLC, a joint venture in which the Company owns a 51% interest, renewed their $50.0 million, revolving non-recourse VOI notes receivable purchase facility (the “Quorum Purchase Facility”) with Quorum Federal Credit Union (“Quorum”). The amendment to the Quorum Purchase Facility extended the purchase period from June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2020. In addition, pursuant to the amendment, Quorum has agreed to an interest rate of 4.95% per annum on advances made through September 30, 2018. The interest rate on advances made after September 30, 2018 will be set at the time of funding based on rates mutually agreed upon by all parties. The amendment also extended the maturity of the Quorum Purchase Facility from December 2030 to December 2032.  As of June 30, 2018, $29.7 million was outstanding under the Quorum Purchase Facility.  

Acquisition Activity
On April 17, 2018, as previously disclosed, the Company acquired the Éilan Hotel & Spa in San Antonio, Texas for approximately $34.3 million. The Company intends to open a 13,000 square foot sales office at the Éilan Hotel & Spa by the end of 2018. In connection with the acquisition, Bluegreen entered into a non-revolving acquisition loan which provides for advances up to $27.5 million, $24.3 million of which was used to fund the acquisition of the resort and up to an additional $3.2 million may be drawn upon to fund certain future improvement costs over a 12-month advance period.  The Company believes that this acquisition is consistent with its “drive-to” strategy; over 10% of Bluegreen Vacation Club owners live in Texas and surrounding states.

On May 10, 2018, as previously disclosed, the Company announced a fee-based service agreement with Marquee Developer, LLC (“Marquee Developer”), owner and developer, of The Marquee – also known as 144 Elk Luxury Lofts – in New Orleans, Louisiana. The resort will be open for Vacation Club guests in 2019. Under the agreement, Bluegreen will provide a suite of fee-based services that include vacation ownership sales and marketing, property management, and title and escrow services. Bluegreen will also provide design and development planning as well as consumer receivable servicing for the Marquee Developer, also on a fee-basis. This agreement will add 94 units of resort inventory which will be sold through The Bluegreen Vacation Club. Additionally, Bluegreen has plans to add frontline and in-house sales centers, which are expected to be operational by fourth quarter 2018.

On June 22, 2018, as previously disclosed, the Company announced that it has entered into an exclusive agreement to acquire inventory and, by 2021, the resort management contract at The Manhattan Club in New York City.  In addition to significantly expanding access to The Manhattan Club within the Bluegreen Vacation Club, Bluegreen is planning to open a 2,500-square foot sales center. The agreement provides Bluegreen the exclusive right, on a non-committed basis, to acquire the remaining timeshare inventory at The Manhattan Club under Bluegreen’s “capital-light” Secondary Market program through periodic purchases over time, and subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement, the exclusive right to acquire the management contract for The Manhattan Club resort in 2021.

Dividend
On July 18, 2018, Bluegreen’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend payment of $0.15 per share of common stock. The dividend is payable on August 15, 2018 to shareholders of record on the close of trading on July 31, 2018.

BLUEGREEN VACATIONS CORPORATION
DEFINITIONS

Principal Components Affecting our Results of Operations

Principal Components of Revenues

Fee-Based Sales.  Represent sales of third-party VOIs where we are paid a commission.

JIT Sales.  Represent sales of VOIs acquired from third parties in close proximity to when we intend to sell such VOIs.

Secondary Market Sales.  Represent sales of VOIs acquired from HOAs or other owners, typically in connection with maintenance fee defaults. This inventory is generally purchased at a greater discount to retail price compared to developed VOI sales and JIT sales.

Developed VOI Sales.  Represent sales of VOIs in resorts that we have developed or acquired (not including inventory acquired through JIT and secondary market arrangements).

Financing Revenue.  Represents revenue from the financing of VOI sales, which includes interest income and loan servicing fees. We also earn fees from providing mortgage servicing to certain third-party developers to purchasers of their VOIs.

Resort Operations and Club Management Revenue.  Represents recurring fees from managing the Vacation Club and transaction fees for certain resort amenities and certain member exchanges. We also earn recurring management fees under our management agreements with HOAs for day-to-day management services, including oversight of housekeeping services, maintenance, and certain accounting and administrative functions.

Other Fee-Based Services.  Represents revenue earned from various other services that produce recurring, predictable and long-term revenue, such as title services.

Principal Components of Expenses

Cost of VOIs Sold.  Represents the cost at which our owned VOIs sold during the period were relieved from inventory. In addition to inventory from our VOI business, our owned VOIs also include those that were acquired by us under JIT and secondary market arrangements. Compared to the cost of our developed VOI inventory, VOIs acquired in connection with JIT arrangements typically have a relatively higher associated cost of sales as a percentage of sales while those acquired in connection with secondary market arrangements typically have a lower cost of sales as a percentage of sales as secondary market inventory is generally obtained from HOAs at a significant discount to retail price. Cost of VOIs sold as a percentage of sales of VOIs varies between periods based on the relative costs of the specific VOIs sold in each period and the size of the point packages of the VOIs sold (primarily due to offered volume discounts, and taking into account consideration of cumulative sales to existing owners). Additionally, the effect of changes in estimates under the relative sales value method, including estimates of projected sales, future defaults, upgrades and incremental revenue from the resale of repossessed VOI inventory, are reflected on a retrospective basis in the period the change occurs. Cost of sales will typically be favorably impacted in periods where a significant amount of secondary market VOI inventory is acquired or actual defaults and equity trades are higher and the resulting change in estimate is recognized. While we believe that there is additional inventory that can be obtained through the secondary market at favorable prices to us in the future, there can be no assurance that such inventory will be available as expected.

Net Carrying Cost of VOI Inventory.  Represents the maintenance fees and developer subsidies for unsold VOI inventory paid or accrued to the HOAs that maintain the resorts. We attempt to offset this expense, to the extent possible, by generating revenue from renting our VOIs and through utilizing them in our sampler programs. We net such revenue from this expense item.
Selling and Marketing Expense.  Represents costs incurred to sell and market VOIs, including costs relating to marketing and incentive programs, tours, and related wages and sales commissions. Revenues from vacation package sales are netted against selling and marketing expenses.

Financing Expense.  Represents financing interest expense related to our receivable-backed debt, amortization of the related debt issuance costs and other expenses incurred in providing financing and servicing loans, including administrative costs associated with mortgage servicing activities for our loans and the loans of certain third-party developers.  Mortgage servicing activities include, amongst other things, payment processing, reporting and collection services.

Resort Operations and Club Management Expense.  Represents costs incurred to manage resorts and the Vacation Club, including payroll and related costs and other administrative costs to the extent not reimbursed by the Vacation Club or HOAs.

General and Administrative Expense.  Primarily represents compensation expense for personnel supporting our business and operations, professional fees (including consulting, audit and legal fees), and administrative and related expenses.

Key Business and Financial Metrics and Terms Used by Management

Sales of VOIs.  Represent sales of our owned VOIs, including developed VOIs and those acquired through JIT and secondary market arrangements, reduced by equity trade allowances and an estimate of our provision for loan losses. In addition to the factors impacting system-wide sales of VOIs, sales of VOIs are impacted by the proportion of system-wide sales of VOIs sold on behalf of third-parties on a commission basis, which are not included in sales of VOIs.

System-wide Sales of VOIs.  Represents all sales of VOIs, whether owned by us or a third party immediately prior to the sale. Sales of VOIs owned by third parties are transacted as sales of VOIs in our Vacation Club through the same selling and marketing process we use to sell our VOI inventory. We consider system-wide sales of VOIs to be an important operating measure because it reflects all sales of VOIs by our sales and marketing operations without regard to whether we or a third party owned such VOI inventory at the time of sale. System-wide sales of VOIs is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to sales of VOIs or any other measure of financial performance derived in accordance with GAAP or to any other method of analyzing our results as reported under GAAP.

Guest Tours.  Represents the number of sales presentations given at our sales centers during the period.

Sale to Tour Conversion Ratio. Represents the rate at which guest tours are converted to sales of VOIs and is calculated by dividing the number of sales transactions by the number of guest tours.

Average Sales Volume Per Guest (“VPG”).  Represents the sales attributable to tours at our sales locations and is calculated by dividing VOI sales by guest tours. 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 sale-to-tour conversion ratio.

Adjusted EBITDA.  We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings, or net income, before taking into account interest income (excluding interest earned on VOI notes receivable), interest expense (excluding interest expense incurred on debt secured by our VOI notes receivable), income and franchise taxes, loss (gain) on assets held for sale, depreciation and amortization, amounts attributable to the non-controlling interest in Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations (in which we own a 51% interest), and items that we believe are not representative of ongoing operating results. For purposes of the Adjusted EBITDA calculation, no adjustments were made for interest income earned on our VOI notes receivable or the interest expense incurred on debt that is secured by such notes receivable because they are both considered to be part of the operations of our business.
We consider our total Adjusted EBITDA and our Segment Adjusted EBITDA to be an indicator of our operating performance, and it is used by us to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand our business. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by companies, lenders, investors and others because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity, including cash flow, derived in accordance with GAAP, or to any other method or analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. The limitations of using Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool include, without limitation, that Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect (i) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (ii) our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our indebtedness (other than as noted above); (iii) our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; (iv) historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; or (v) the effect on earnings or changes resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our future operations or performance. Further, although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. In addition, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to definitions of Adjusted EBITDA or other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
