Business Segment Results

Interval

ILG's principal operating segment, Interval, provides membership services to the individual members of its exchange networks and affinity groups, as well as related services to developers of vacation ownership resorts. As of December 31, 2009, the Interval Network includes over 2,500 resorts located in more than 75 countries. The Interval segment consists of Interval International, Inc. and certain related subsidiaries.

Interval's revenue for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2009, was $78.5 million and $346.0 million, respectively. For the full year 2009, membership fee and transaction revenue were $132.1 million and $189.8 million, respectively, representing a decrease of 1.2% and an increase of 2.2%, respectively, over the prior year. Year over year, average revenue per member increased to $40.22 or 11.9% in the fourth quarter and increased to $175.56 or 6.5% for the full year, primarily reflecting a shift in membership mix.

Total active members at December 31, 2009 were approximately 1.8 million, a decrease of 1.5% over total active members at December 31, 2008, excluding the Disney members who exited the system on January 1, 2009.

Interval's adjusted EBITDA was $31.7 million and $148.4 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2009, respectively, representing an increase of 4.7% and 2.3% over the segment's EBITDA of $30.3 million and $145.1 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2008, respectively. In constant currency, Interval segment adjusted EBITDA was $31.8 million and $150.2 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2009, respectively.

Throughout 2009, Interval continued to expand and strengthen its high-quality international vacation exchange networks both by renewing strategic agreements with key clients, while affiliating 80 new vacation ownership resorts in domestic and international markets. In 2009, 80% of new affiliations were located in non-US locations.

Aston

The Aston segment consists of Aston Hotels & Resorts, LLC and Maui Condo and Home, LLC. Aston provides hotel and resort management services to 26 resorts and hotels, primarily in Hawaii, as well as other more limited management services to certain additional properties.

Aston's revenue for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2009, was $15.3 million and $59.0 million, respectively, including $10.4 million and $37.6 million of Pass-through Revenue (defined below).

The decrease in fee income earned by Aston from managed vacation properties was driven by a reduction in revenue per available room ("RevPAR"). RevPAR for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 was $82.48 compared to $96.35 for the same period in 2008. RevPAR for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $91.47 compared to $117.08 in 2008. Lower occupancy and lower average daily rate led to the reduction in RevPAR. Overall, 2009 occupancy rates were negatively impacted by the macroeconomic conditions. Aston has been generally tracking the results of comparable properties in Hawaii.

Aston reported EBITDA of $0.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, a decrease of 65.6% from EBITDA of $1.8 million in the prior year period. Aston's adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2009 was $4.8 million, compared to EBITDA of $9.5 million for the same period in 2008.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

As of December 31, 2009, ILG's cash and cash equivalents totaled $160.0 million, compared to $120.3 million as of December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2009, the Company's total debt outstanding, which was incurred in connection with the spin-off, was $395.3 million, net of unamortized discount, compared to $427.2 million as of December 31, 2008.

For the full year 2009, ILG's capital expenditures totaled $15.2 million, or 3.7% of revenue, net cash provided by operating activities was $87.3 million and free cash flow (defined below) was $72.2 million.

Presentation of Financial Information

ILG management believes that the presentation of non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) financial measures, including, among others, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, constant currency and free cash flow, serves to enhance the understanding of ILG's performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to and not as substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, EBITDA (with certain additional add-backs) is used to calculate compliance with certain financial covenants in ILG's credit agreement. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures improve the transparency of our disclosures, provide meaningful presentations of our results from our business operations excluding the impact of certain items not related to our core business operations and improve the period to period comparability of results from business operations. These measures may also be useful in comparing our results to those of other companies; however our calculations may differ from the calculations of these measures used by other companies. More information about the non-GAAP financial measures, including reconciliations of GAAP results to the non-GAAP measures, is available in the financial tables that accompany this press release.
