Segment Information and Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations

Segment Information

Segment Results. Management evaluates the performance of our segments, including our Timeshare segment, based primarily on the results of the segment without allocating corporate expenses, interest expense, or indirect general, administrative, and other expenses. We do, however, allocate interest income associated with Timeshare segment notes receivable to our Timeshare segment results because financing sales is an integral part of that segment’s business. Because note sales are an integral part of the Timeshare segment, we also include note sale gains in our Timeshare segment results. We also allocate other gains or losses as well as equity in earnings or losses from our joint ventures and divisional general, administrative, and other expenses to each of our segments.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report certain financial measures that are not prescribed or authorized by U. S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We discuss management’s reasons for reporting these non-GAAP measures below, and the tables on the following pages reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP measures to the non-GAAP measures (identified by a double asterisk on the following pages). Although management evaluates and presents these non-GAAP measures for the reasons described below, please be aware that these non-GAAP measures are not alternatives to revenue, operating income, income from continuing operations, net income, or any other comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated and/or presented differently than measures with the same or similar names that are reported by other companies, and as a result, the non-GAAP measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.

Timeshare Segment Revenue Excluding Cost Reimbursements. Timeshare segment cost reimbursements revenue represents reimbursements from owner associations or joint venture partners for Marriott-funded operating expenses. As we record cost reimbursements based upon the costs incurred with no added markup, this revenue and the related reimbursed costs expense have no impact on segment results because cost reimbursements revenue net of reimbursed costs expense is zero. We consider Timeshare segment revenue excluding cost reimbursements to be a meaningful metric as it represents that portion of our revenue that impacts segment results.

Timeshare Segment Cash Provided By Operating Activities. Timeshare segment cash provided by operating activities is evaluated by management because it represents the cash we have available from Timeshare segment operations which could be utilized in our Timeshare segment business or for other company-wide purposes such as for debt service requirements, opportunistic investments, share repurchases and other purposes.
