Debt
Secured Notes. On May 20, 2026, the Company issued secured notes, with a face value of $900 million and an interest rate of 6.250%. Deferred financing costs were $10 million, which will be amortized over the life of the notes. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on the notes. The notes will mature on June 1, 2031 unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms. Prior to June 1, 2028, the Company will be entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of these notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus a “make-whole premium” plus any accrued and unpaid interest. At any time on or after June 1, 2028, the Company may redeem all or a portion of the notes at certain redemption prices above their face amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. On or after June 1, 2030 the Company will be able to redeem the notes at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The proceeds of this offering were used to redeem all of the Company’s $650 million 6.625% secured notes due July 2026, toward repayment of outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, to pay the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the offering and for general corporate purposes. The Company incurred $2 million of third party debt modification costs associated with this transaction, which are included within Interest expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Debt Covenants
The revolving credit facility and term loan B facility are subject to covenants including the maintenance of specific financial ratios as defined in the credit agreement. The financial ratio covenants consist of a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.00 to 1.0 as of the measurement date and a maximum first lien leverage ratio of 4.25 to 1.0 as of the measurement date. The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) by consolidated interest expense (as defined in the credit agreement), both as measured on a trailing 12-month basis preceding the measurement date. The first lien leverage ratio is calculated by dividing consolidated first lien debt (as defined in the credit agreement) as of the measurement date by consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) as measured on a trailing 12-month basis preceding the measurement date.
As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s interest coverage ratio was 5.46 to 1.0 and the first lien leverage ratio was 3.28 to 1.0. These ratios do not include interest expense or indebtedness related to any qualified securitization financing (as defined in the credit agreement). As of September 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants described above.
Each of the Company’s non-recourse securitized term notes and bank conduit facilities contain various triggers relating to the performance of the applicable loan pools. If the VOCR pool that collateralizes one of the Company’s securitization notes fails to perform within the parameters established by the contractual triggers (such as higher default or delinquency rates), there are provisions pursuant to which the cash flows for that pool will be maintained in the securitization as extra collateral for the note holders or applied to accelerate the repayment of outstanding principal to the note holders. As of September 30, 2026, all of the Company’s securitized loan pools were in compliance with applicable contractual triggers.
Interest Expense
The Company incurred interest expense of $56 million and $171 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and $60 million and $175 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, excluding interest expense associated with non-recourse vacation ownership debt. These amounts include offsets of less than $1 million of capitalized interest during each period. Cash paid related to such interest was $164 million and $174 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
Interest expense incurred in connection with the Company’s non-recourse vacation ownership debt was $33 million and $99 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and $33 million and $101 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. These amounts are included within Consumer financing interest on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Cash paid related to such interest was $81 million and $84 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
