Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Principles of Consolidation
The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (referred to in this report as (i) “we,” “us,” “Marriott Vacations Worldwide,” “MVW,” or the “Company,” which includes our consolidated subsidiaries except where the context of the reference is to a single corporate entity, or (ii) “MVWC,” which shall refer only to Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation, without its consolidated subsidiaries). In order to make this report easier to read, we refer throughout to (i) our Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as our “Financial Statements,” (ii) our Interim Consolidated Statements of Income as our “Income Statements,” (iii) our Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets as our “Balance Sheets,” and (iv) our Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as our “Cash Flows.” In addition, references throughout to numbered “Footnotes” refer to the numbered notes in the Financial Statements, unless otherwise noted. Capitalized terms used and not specifically defined herein have the same meanings given those terms in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”). We also use certain other terms that are defined within these Financial Statements.
The Financial Statements presented herein and discussed below include 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows of Marriott Vacations Worldwide, all entities in which Marriott Vacations Worldwide has a controlling voting interest (“subsidiaries”), and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which Marriott Vacations Worldwide is the primary beneficiary in accordance with consolidation accounting guidance. References in these Financial Statements to net income or loss attributable to common stockholders and MVW stockholders’ equity do not include noncontrolling interests, which represent the outside ownership of our consolidated non-wholly owned entities and are reported separately. Intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
These Financial Statements reflect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as prepared in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, cost of vacation ownership products, inventory valuation, goodwill and intangibles valuation, vacation ownership notes receivable reserves, income taxes, and loss contingencies. The uncertainties and volatility in the broader macroeconomic environment, including inflation, the impact of changing trade policy, continuing high interest rates, mixed economic indicators, increased consumer debt, continuing global insecurity and political uncertainty, have made it more challenging to make these estimates. Actual results could differ from our estimates, and such differences may be material.
In our opinion, our Financial Statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, the results of our operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results may not be indicative of fiscal year performance because of, among other reasons, general macroeconomic conditions, including inflationary pressures and seasonal and short-term variations. These Financial Statements have not been audited. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. Although we believe our footnote disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, the Financial Statements in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our 2025 Annual Report.
We refer to the business and brands that we acquired in the acquisition of ILG, LLC, formerly known as ILG, Inc. (“ILG”), in 2018 (the “ILG Acquisition”) as “Legacy-ILG.” We refer to the business we conducted prior to the ILG Acquisition and the associated brands as “Legacy-MVW.” We refer to the business and brand that we acquired in the acquisition of Welk Hospitality Group, Inc. (“Welk”) in 2021 (the “Welk Acquisition”) as “Legacy-Welk.” During 2023, we rebranded all Legacy-Welk resorts as Hyatt Vacation Club resorts. Additionally, we use the term “Marriott Vacation Ownership” to refer to our Marriott, Sheraton, and Westin branded businesses and the term “Hyatt Vacation Ownership” to refer to our Hyatt branded business.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts from the prior fiscal year have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
New Accounting Standards and Future Adoption of Accounting Standards
New Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Update 2024-04 - “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments” (“ASU 2024-04”)
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued accounting standards update (“ASU”) 2024-04, which requires an entity to account for certain early settlements of convertible debt instruments as an induced conversion if the inducement offer includes the issuance of all consideration (in form and amount) issuable under the conversion privileges provided in the terms of the existing convertible debt instrument. We adopted ASU 2024-04 on a prospective basis on January 1, 2026, with no impact to our financial statements or disclosures.
Accounting Standards Update 2025-05 - “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” (“ASU 2025-05”)
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, which introduces a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and contract assets. Under this expedient, entities may assume that conditions existing at the balance sheet date will persist for the remaining life of the asset, which simplifies the estimation process by eliminating the need to forecast future economic conditions for short-term assets. We adopted ASU 2025-05 on a prospective basis on January 1, 2026, with no material impact to our financial statements or disclosures.
Accounting Standards Update 2025-11 - “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements” (“ASU 2025-11”)
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, which updates ASC 270 to improve clarity and consistency, without fundamentally altering the nature or scope of interim reporting requirements. The guidance provides a comprehensive list of interim disclosures required by GAAP and incorporates a disclosure principle that requires disclosures at interim periods when an event or change that has a material effect on an entity has occurred since the last annual reporting period. The guidance is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2025-11 on a prospective basis on January 1, 2026, with no impact to our financial statements or disclosures.
Future Adoption of Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 - “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”)
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which requires additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements for both interim and annual reporting periods. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of this update, including the timing of implementation, will have on our disclosures.
Accounting Standards Update 2025-09 - “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements” (“ASU 2025-09”)
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, which amends certain aspects of hedge accounting guidance under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815. The amendments clarify the assessment of risk for cash flow hedges; provide guidance on hedges of forecasted interest payments on choose‑your‑rate debt; expand the application of hedge accounting to certain nonfinancial forecasted transactions; permit the use of net written options as hedging instruments; and address the accounting for dual hedges of foreign‑currency‑denominated debt. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of this update, including the timing of implementation, will have on our financial statements and disclosures.
