Overview Our Business We are a global timeshare company engaged in developing, marketing, selling and managing timeshare resorts primarily under the Hilton Grand Vacations brand. Our Company also owns and operatesDiamond Resorts International ("Diamond") and are in the process of rebranding Diamond properties and sales centers to brands that meet Hilton standards. Our operations primarily consist of: selling vacation ownership intervals and vacation ownership interests (collectively, "VOIs", "VOI") for us and third parties; financing and servicing loans provided to consumers for their timeshare purchases; operating resorts and multi-resort trusts; and managing our points-basedHilton Grand Vacations Club andHilton Club exchange program (collectively the "Legacy-HGV Club ") and Diamond points-based clubs. 34
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
As ofJune 30, 2022 , we have 154 properties located inthe United States ("U.S."),Europe ,Mexico , theCaribbean ,Canada , andJapan . A significant number of our properties and VOIs are concentrated inFlorida ,Nevada ,Hawaii ,Europe ,California ,Virginia andArizona . and feature spacious, condominium-style accommodations with superior amenities and quality service. As ofJune 30, 2022 , we have approximately 339,000Hilton Grand Vacations Club andHilton Club members.Legacy-HGV Club members have the flexibility to exchange their VOIs for stays at anyHilton Grand Vacations resort or any property in the Hilton system of 18 industry-leading brands across approximately 6,800 properties, as well as numerous experiential vacation options, such as cruises and guided tours. We also have 169,000Diamond Club members who are able to utilize their points across the Diamond resorts, affiliated properties and alternative experiential options. Diamond Acquisition OnAugust 2, 2021 , we completed the acquisition ofDakota Holdings, Inc. , the parent of Diamond (the "Diamond Acquisition"). We completed the acquisition by exchanging 100 percent of the outstanding equity interests of Diamond into shares of HGV common stock. Pre-existing HGV shareholders own approximately 72 percent of the combined company after giving effect of the Diamond Acquisition, with certain funds controlled by Apollo Global Management Inc. (the "Apollo Funds" or, "Apollo") and other minority shareholders, who previously owned 100 percent of Diamond, holding the remaining approximately 28 percent at the time the Diamond Acquisition was completed. Diamond also operates in the hospitality and VOI industry, with a worldwide resort network of global vacation destinations. Diamond's portfolio consists of resort properties that we manage, are included in one of Diamond's single- and multi-use trusts (collectively, the "Diamond Collections" or "Collections"), or are Diamond branded resorts in which we own inventory. In addition there are affiliated resorts and hotels, which we do not manage, and which do not carry the Diamond brand but are a part of Diamond's network and, through THE Club® and other Club offerings (the "Diamond Clubs "), are available for its members to use as vacation destinations. The financial results within this report include Diamond's results of operations beginning onAugust 2, 2021 . We refer to Diamond's business and operations that we acquired as "Legacy-Diamond", and our business and operations that existed both prior to and following the Diamond Acquisition as "Legacy-HGV." See Note 3: Diamond Acquisition for more information. Acquisition and integration-related expenses represent direct costs associated with the Diamond Acquisition including integration costs, legal fees, financial and other professional services. These expenses also include severance, retention and other employee-related benefits.
Our Segments
We operate our business across two segments: (1) real estate sales and financing; and (2) resort operations and club management.
Real Estate Sales and Financing
Our primary Legacy-HGV product is the marketing and selling of fee-simple VOIs deeded in perpetuity and right to use real estate interests, developed either by us or by third parties. This ownership interest is an interest in real estate generally equivalent to one week on an annual basis, at the timeshare resort where the VOI was purchased. Traditionally, timeshare operators have funded 100 percent of the investment necessary to acquire land and construct timeshare properties. In addition to developing our own properties, we source VOIs through fee-for-service and just-in-time agreements with third-party developers and have focused our inventory strategy on developing an optimal inventory mix focused on developed properties as well as fee-for-service and just-in-time agreements. The fee-for-service agreements enable us to generate fees from the sales and marketing of theVOIs and Legacy-HGV Club memberships and from the management of the timeshare properties without requiring us to fund acquisition and construction costs. The just-in-time agreements enable us to source VOI inventory in a manner that allows us to correlate the timing of acquisition of the inventory with the sale to purchasers. Sales of owned, including just-in-time inventory, generally result in greater Adjusted EBITDA contributions, while fee-for-service sales require less initial investment and allow us to accelerate our sales growth. Both sales of owned inventory and fee-for-service sales generate long-term, predictable fee streams, by adding to the Club membership base and properties under management, that generate strong returns on invested capital. We also source VOIs through our Collections product which are represented by an annual or biennial allotment of points that can be utilized for vacations at any of the resorts in our network for varying lengths of stay. Purchasers of points generally do not acquire a direct ownership interest in the resort properties in our network. For each Collection, one or more trustees hold legal title to the deeded fee simple real estate interests or the functional equivalent, or, in some cases, 35
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
leasehold real estate interests for the benefit of the respective Collection's association members in accordance with the applicable agreements.
For the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , sales from fee-for-service, just-in-time, developed inventory and points-based sources were 28 percent, 13 percent, 23 percent and 36 percent, respectively, of contract sales. See "Key Business and Financial Metrics and Terms Used by Management - Real Estate Sales Operating Metrics" for additional discussion of contract sales. The estimated contract sales value related to our inventory that is currently available for sale at open or soon-to-be open projects and inventory at new or existing projects that will become available for sale in the future upon registration, delivery or construction is approximately$12 billion at current pricing. Capital efficient arrangements, comprised of our fee-for-service and just-in-time inventory, represented approximately 40 percent of that supply. We believe that the visibility into our long-term supply allows us to efficiently manage inventory to meet predicted sales, reduce capital investments, minimize our exposure to the cyclicality of the real estate market and mitigate the risks of entering into new markets. We sell our vacation ownership products primarily through our distribution network of both-in-market and off-site sales centers. Our products are currently marketed for sale throughoutthe United States ,Mexico ,Canada ,Europe , andJapan . We operate sales distribution centers in major markets and popular leisure destinations with year-round demand and a history of being a friendly environment for vacation ownership. We have approximately 60 sales distribution centers in various domestic and international locations. A phased rebranding of sales centers that were acquired as part of the Diamond Acquisition began in late 2021. Our marketing and sales activities are based on targeted direct marketing and a highly personalized sales approach. We use targeted direct marketing to reach potential members who are identified as having the financial ability to pay for our products and have an affinity with Hilton (Legacy-HGV only) and are frequent leisure travelers. Tour flow quality impacts key metrics such as close rate and VPG, defined in "Key Business and Financial Metrics and Terms Used by Management-Real Estate Sales Metrics." Additionally, the quality of tour flow impacts sales revenue and the collectability of our timeshare financing receivables. For the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , 71 percent of our contract sales were to our existing owners. We provide financing for members purchasing our developed and acquired inventory and generate interest income. Our timeshare financing receivables are collateralized by the underlying VOIs and are generally structured as 10-year, fully-amortizing loans that bear a fixed interest rate typically ranging from 2.5 percent to 25 percent per annum. Financing propensity 62 percent was 66 percent for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021. We calculate financing propensity as contract sales volume of financed contracts originated in the period divided by contract sales volume of all contracts originated in the period. The interest rate on our loans is determined by, among other factors, the amount of the down payment, the borrower's credit profile and the loan term. The weighted-average FICO score for loans toU.S. and Canadian borrowers at the time of origination were as follows: Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 Weighted-average FICO score 737 738 Prepayment is permitted without penalty. When a member defaults, we ultimately return their VOI to inventory for resale and that member no longer participates in our Clubs. Some of our timeshare financing receivables have been pledged as collateral in our securitization transactions, which have in the past and may in the future provide funding for our business activities. In these securitization transactions, special purpose entities are established to issue various classes of debt securities which are generally collateralized by a single pool of assets, consisting of timeshare financing receivables that we service and related cash deposits. For additional information see Note 7: Timeshare Financing Receivables in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In addition, we earn fees from servicing the loans provided by third-party developers of our fee-for-service projects to purchasers of their VOIs and from our securitized timeshare financing receivables.

Resort Operations and Club Management
We enter into management agreements with the HOAs of the timeshare resorts developed by us or a third party. Each of the HOAs is governed by a board of directors comprised of owner and developer representatives that are charged with ensuring the resorts are well-maintained and financially stable. Our management services include day-to-day operations of the resorts, maintenance of the resorts, preparation of reports, budgets and projections and employee training and oversight. Our HOA management agreements provide for a cost-plus management fee, which means we generally earn a fee equal to 10 percent to 15 percent of the costs to operate the applicable resort. The fees we earn are highly predictable due to the relatively fixed nature of resort operating expenses and our management fees are unaffected by changes in rental rate or occupancy. We are reimbursed for the costs incurred to perform our services, principally related to personnel providing on-site services. The initial term of our management agreements typically ranges from three to five years and the agreements are subject to periodic renewal for one to three-year periods. Many of these agreements renew automatically unless either party provides advance notice of termination before the expiration of the term. We also manage and operate the Clubs, including the points-basedHilton Grand Vacations Club andHilton Club exchange programs, which provide exclusive exchange, leisure travel and reservation services to ourLegacy-HGV Club members, as well as theDiamond Clubs . When owners purchase a VOI, they are generally enrolled in a Club which allows the member to exchange their points for a number of vacation options. In addition to an annual membership fee, Club members pay incremental fees depending on exchanges they choose within the Club system. We rent unsold VOI inventory, third-party inventory and inventory made available due to ownership exchanges through our club programs. We earn a fee from rentals of third-party inventory. Additionally, we provide ancillary offerings including food and beverage, retail and spa offerings at these timeshare properties.
Key Business and Financial Metrics and Terms Used by Management
Real Estate Sales Operating Metrics
We measure our performance using the following key operating 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 percent of the contract price. Contract sales differ from revenues from the Sales of VOIs, net that we report in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations due to the requirements for revenue recognition, as well as adjustments for incentives. We consider contract sales to be an important operating measure because it reflects the pace of sales in our business and is used to manage the performance of the sales organization. While we do not record the purchase price of sales of VOI products developed by fee-for-service partners as revenue in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, rather recording the commission earned as revenue in accordance withU.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 our results to the results of our competitors which may source their VOI products differently.
•We believe that the presentation of contract sales on a combined basis (fee-for-service, 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 "-Real Estate" below.
•Sales revenue represents Sales of VOIs, net, commissions and brand fees earned from the sale of fee-for-service intervals.
•Real estate profit represents sales revenue less the cost of VOI sales, sales and marketing costs, net of marketing revenue. Real estate margin percentage is calculated by dividing real estate margin by sales revenue. We consider this to be an important operating measure because it measures the efficiency of our sales and marketing spending and management of inventory costs.
•Tour flow represents the number of sales presentations given at our sales centers during the period.
•Volume per guest ("VPG") represents the sales attributable to tours at our
sales locations and is calculated by dividing contract sales, excluding
telesales, by tour flow. 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 closing rate.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA, presented herein, is a financial measure that is not recognized underU.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 resulting from purchase accounting, and other non-cash and one-time charges. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms underU.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance withU.S. GAAP. In addition, our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors about us and our financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are among the measures used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions; and (ii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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 and Adjusted EBITDA 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 underU.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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 and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the effect on earnings or changes resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our future operations;
•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for future replacements of assets that are being depreciated and amortized; and
•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be calculated differently from other companies in our industry limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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.

Real Estate Sales and Financing
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, "Revenue
from Contracts with Customers" ("ASC 606"), revenue and the related costs to
fulfill and acquire the contract ("direct costs") from sales of VOIs under
construction are deferred until the point in time when construction activities
are deemed to be completed. The real estate sales and financing segment is
impacted by construction related deferral and recognition activity. In periods
where Sales of VOIs and related direct costs of projects under construction are
deferred, margin percentages will generally contract as the indirect marketing
and selling costs associated with these sales are recognized as incurred in the
current period. In periods where previously deferred Sales of VOIs and related
direct costs are recognized upon construction completion, margin percentages
will generally expand as the indirect marketing and selling costs associated
with these sales were recognized in prior periods.
The following table represents deferrals and recognitions of Sales of VOI revenue and direct costs for properties under construction:

Real estate sales and financing segment revenues increased by$392 million and$721 million for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. Excluding the impact of the Diamond Acquisition, sales revenue primarily increased in these periods due to an increase in travel demand and a corresponding 40

Table of Contents
increase in tour flow and sales transactions, in addition to a decrease in deferred sales of VOIs related to sales of projects under construction. Sales revenue also increased as a result of the launch of new properties in the second half of 2021. This increase was partially offset by a slight decrease in average transaction price compared to the same period in 2021. Real estate sales and financing Adjusted EBITDA increased by$173 million and by$299 million for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , compared to the same periods in 2021, primarily due to the revenue increases discussed above in addition to improvements in our real estate sales and financing profit margins.
Refer to "-Real Estate" and "-Financing" for further discussion on the revenues and expenses of the real estate sales and financing segment.
Resort Operations and Club Management
Resort operations and club management segment revenues increased by$196 million and$384 million for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , compared to the same periods in 2021. Excluding the impact of the Diamond Acquisition, the increase in resort operations and club management revenues was driven by greater resort management revenue from the launch of new properties in the second half of 2021 as well as an increase in Club members. Rental and ancillary revenues also increased due to an increase in available rooms in addition to higher daily rates charged related to the aforementioned launch of new properties compared to the same periods in 2021. Resort operations and club management segment adjusted EBITDA increased by$58 million and by$117 million for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , compared to the same periods in 2021, primarily due to the increase in resort and club management and rental revenues described above, partially offset by a decrease in resort and club management profit margins associated with higher salaries and wages expense. Refer to "- Resort and Club Management" and "-Rental and Ancillary Services" for further discussion on the revenues and expenses of the resort operations and club management segment.

Real estate profit increased by$154 million and by$263 million for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , compared to the same periods in 2021. Excluding the impact of the Diamond Acquisition, these increases were driven by greater travel demand and the reopening of nearly all of our resorts and sales centers by the end of the second quarter 2021. The increase in real estate profit was also attributed to a higher mix of sales of VOIs at new properties and greater commissions earned on sales of fee-for-service properties compared to the same periods in 2021. For the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , cost of VOI sales increased consistent with the increase in sales revenue. For the same periods, marketing revenue and other fees also increased as a result of an increase in breakage rates on vacation packages.

The change in other operating expenses for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , compared to the same periods in 2021 was driven by increased costs subsequent to the Diamond Acquisition and increases in expenses related to share-based compensation. General and administrative expenses increased by$36 million and$57 million compared to the same periods in 2021, primarily due to increased salaries and wages expenses corresponding with an increase in team members associated with the Diamond Acquisition. General and administrative expenses also increased due to expenses incurred associated with Performance RSUs during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , that were not incurred in the same periods in 2021 due to certain performance targets that were not expected to be achieved during that period. Depreciation and amortization increased due to additional amortization expense recognized related to management contracts, club member relationships and trade names acquired as a part of the Diamond Acquisition. License fee expense increased during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , compared to the same periods in 2021 due to improved segment results related to increased travel demand discussed above.

Table of Contents
The change in non-operating expenses for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , compared to the same periods in 2021 was primarily due to an increase in interest expense as a result of the issuance of our senior secured credit facility and senior notes in the second half of 2021, in addition to an increase in income tax expense driven by an increase in income before taxes. See Note 13: Debt and non-recourse debt and Note 16: Income Taxes for additional information.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our cash management objectives are to maintain the availability of liquidity,
minimize operational costs, make debt payments and fund future acquisitions and
development projects. Our known short-term liquidity requirements primarily
consist of funds necessary to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures,
including payroll and related benefits, legal costs, operating costs associated
with the operation of our resorts and sales centers, interest and scheduled
principal payments on our outstanding indebtedness, inventory-related purchase
commitments, and capital expenditures for renovations and maintenance at our
offices and sales centers. Our long-term liquidity requirements primarily
consist of funds necessary to pay for scheduled debt maturities,
inventory-related purchase commitments and costs associated with acquisitions
and development projects, including rebranding.
We finance our short- and long-term liquidity needs primarily through cash and
cash equivalents, cash generated from our operations, draws on our senior
secured credit facility and our non-recourse revolving timeshare credit facility
("Timeshare Facility"), and through periodic securitizations of our timeshare
financing receivables.
•In April 2022 , we completed a securitization of $246 million of gross timeshare
financing receivables. The proceeds were primarily used to pay down one of our
conduit facilities in full, which totaled $115 million , and for general
corporate purposes. See Note 13: Debt and Non-Recourse Debt for additional
information.
•In May 2022 , we amended and restated our Timeshare Facility agreement under new
terms, which includes increasing the borrowing capacity from $450 million to
$750 million allowing us to borrow up to the maximum amount until May 2024 and
requiring all amounts borrowed to be repaid in 2025. The Timeshare Facility is
secured by certain timeshare financing receivables in our loan portfolio. See
Note 13: Debt and Non-Recourse Debt and Note 7: Timeshare Financing Receivables
for additional information.
•As of
•As of
•As ofJune 30, 2022 , we had an aggregate of$874 million remaining borrowing capacity in total under our Timeshare Facility and conduit facility due in 2025 and 2023, respectively. Of this amount, we have$242 million of mortgage notes that are available to be securitized and another$225 million of mortgage notes that we expect will become eligible as soon as they meet typical milestones including receipt of first payment, deeding, or recording. We believe that our capital allocation strategy provides adequate funding for our operations, is flexible enough to fund our development pipeline, securitizes the optimal level of receivables, and provides the ability to be strategically opportunistic in the marketplace. We have made commitments with developers to purchase vacation ownership units at a future date to be marketed and sold under our Hilton Grand Vacations brand. As ofJune 30, 2022 , our inventory-related purchase commitments totaled$271 million over 9 years. 45

Sources and Uses of Our Cash
The following table summarizes our net cash flows and key metrics related to our
liquidity:
Six Months Ended June 30, Variance
($ in millions) 2022 2021 $

Operating activities $ 530 $ 92 $ 438
Investing activities (35) (13) (22)
Financing activities $ (518) 1,175 (1,693)
Operating Activities
Cash flow provided by operating activities is primarily generated from (1) sales
and financing of VOIs and (2) net cash generated from managing our resorts, Club
and Diamond Club operations and providing related rental and ancillary services.
Cash flows used in operating activities primarily include spending for the
purchase and development of real estate for future conversion to inventory and
funding our working capital needs. Our cash flows from operations generally vary
due to the following factors related to the sale of our VOIs; the degree to
which our owners finance their purchase and our owners' repayment of timeshare
financing receivables; the timing of management and sales and marketing services
provided; and cash outlays for VOI inventory acquisition and development.
Additionally, cash flow from operations will also vary depending upon our sales
mix of VOIs; over time, we generally receive more cash from the sale of an owned
VOI as compared to that from a fee-for-service sale.
The change in net cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months
ended June 30, 2022 , compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily driven by
increased sales and operating performance compared to the prior year, as
discussed above, in addition to an increase in net working capital from
operations.

Our capital expenditures include spending related to technology and buildings
and leasehold improvements used to support sales and marketing locations, resort
operations and corporate activities in addition to capitalized costs associated
with rebranding Legacy-Diamond properties as a result of the Diamond
Acquisition. We believe the renovations of our existing assets are necessary to
stay competitive in the markets in which we operate.

Contractual Obligations
Our commitments primarily relate to agreements with developers to purchase or construct vacation ownership units, operating leases, and obligations associated with our debt, non-recourse debt and the related interest. As ofJune 30, 2022 , we were committed to approximately$5,091 million in contractual obligations over 9 years,$422 million of which will be fulfilled in the remainder of 2022. The ultimate amount and timing of certain commitments is subject to change pursuant to the terms of the respective arrangements, which could also allow for cancellation in certain circumstances. See Note 21: Commitments and Contingencies, Note 13: Debt and Non-recourse Debt and Note 15: Leases in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information. We also intend to rebrand Diamond properties to brands that meet Hilton standards pursuant to the Amended and Restated License Agreement with Hilton. We utilize surety bonds related to the sales of VOIs in order to meet regulatory requirements of certain states. The availability, terms and conditions and pricing of such bonding capacity are dependent on, among other things, continued financial strength and stability of the insurance company affiliates providing the bonding capacity, general availability of such capacity and our corporate credit rating. We have commitments from surety providers in the amount of$293 million as ofJune 30, 2022 which primarily consist of escrow and construction related bonds.

the unaudited consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. The
results of management's analysis indicated no significant subsequent events have
occurred that required consideration or adjustments to our disclosures in the
unaudited financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance withU.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. We have discussed those policies and estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2021 .
