The consensus mark for net revenues is pegged at $984.4 million, indicating 3.7% growth from the year-ago quarter’s reported level.

Factors to Note

The top line of Travel + Leisure for the to-be-reported quarter is expected to have improved year over year on the back of increased tours and growth in new owner tours. Its Vacation Ownership segment is likely to have contributed to the uptrend primarily due to an increase in net vacation ownership interest (“VOI”) sales as a result of the increased tours. The uptick is likely to have been partially offset by a decline in volume per guest (“VPG”) due to a higher mix of new owners, which generally produces lower VPGs and a decreased close rate.

For the second quarter, the company expects its gross VOI sales between $580 million and $610 million, whereas it reported $557 million in the year-ago quarter. VPG is expected between $2,900 and $3,000, indicating a downturn from the $3,150 reported in the prior-year quarter.

Soft contributions from the Travel and Membership segment, attributable to lower transactions, are expected to have been an added headwind. This headwind is likely to have been partially offset by increased revenue per transaction resulting from price increases.

Meanwhile, the bottom line of Travel + Leisure is likely to have benefited from a decline in general and administrative expenses, along with lower operating costs in the Travel and Membership segment. Also, leverage from the increased top line is likely to have favored the uptrend.

The company expects Travel and Membership adjusted EBITDA between $60 million and $65 million, whereas it reported $62 million a year ago.
