| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $5.0B | +1.3% | +5.0% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $-308.0M | -241.3% | +250.0% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +15.1% | -59.6% | +28.3% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +11.0% | -0.0% | +44.5% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | -6.1% | -239.5% | +233.3% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $-29.0M | -119.6% | +650.0% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | -0.6% | -119.3% | +623.8% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 288.7% | +34.9% | -6.5% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 17.74x | +464.4% | -59.7% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $9.8B | -0.5% | -1.6% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | -8.83 vs 6.78 | -230.2% | 2.02 vs 2.43 | -16.9% |

Operator: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Marriott Vacations Worldwide Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. [Operator Instructions] I would now like to turn the conference call over to Neal Goldner, Vice President, Investor Relations. Please go ahead. Neal Goldner: Thank you, and welcome to the Marriott Vacations Worldwide Second Quarter Earnings Conference Call. I'm joined today by Matt Avril, our Chief Executive Officer; Mike Flaskey, our President and Chief Operating Officer; and Jason Marino, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. I need to remind everyone that many of our comments today are not historical facts and are considered forward-looking statements under federal securities laws. These statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, which could cause future results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by our comments. Forward-looking statements in the press release as well as comments on this call are effective only when made and will not be updated as actual events unfold. Throughout the call, we will make references to non-GAAP financial information. You can find a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures in the schedules attached to our press release and on our website. With that, it's now my pleasure to turn the call over to Matt. Matthew Avril: Thank you, Neal, and good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. On our last call, I indicated that we would update you on the progress we are making and our outlook ahead. So let me start there. In the second quarter, we exceeded the high end of our guidance for both contract sales and adjusted EBITDA. Contract sales increased 22% over prior year, driven by our industry-leading VPGs of $4,477. Owner contract sales increased 41% compared to the prior year, driven by a 33% lift in owner VPG. On the strength of this performance, adjusted EBITDA grew to $215 million, $12 million over last year and a $20 million increase over the midpoint of our second quarter guidance. As a result, we generated $87 million of adjusted free cash flow in the second quarter and $201 million to-date compared to $22 million for the 6 months in 2025. In light of these results, I want to recognize the impactful efforts of our team across the MVW system. As we navigate this period of rapid change, we are executing with focus and discipline, and our second quarter results are a good indication of the progress we are making. Earlier this year, we laid out our priorities: return the company to revenue growth, drive increased profitability, improve free cash flow and maintain disciplined capital allocation. Based on our second quarter results, it's fair to say that the execution of that plan has taken hold, and we are now focused on sustaining and furthering that momentum. First was returning the company to growth. Contract sales increased 22% year-over-year in the quarter, reflecting the benefits of our disciplined sales …
