EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A of Diamond Resorts International, Inc. (“DRII,” the "Company," "we," or "us") for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 includes restated consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, restated consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, restated consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated statement of stockholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the restated notes to the consolidated financial statements. We will not file an amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. This restatement included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A is to reflect a correction in the application of the relative sales value inventory valuation model in the accounting for Vacation Interests cost of sales.

As discussed in "Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the "2014 Form 10-K"), we use the relative sales value method to account for Vacation Interests cost of sales in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 978, “Real Estate - Timesharing Activities” (“ASC 978”), for which we rely on complex financial models that began with our implementation of ASC 978 in 2005 and continue prospectively through the theoretical sell-out of the respective inventory. These models incorporate a variety of estimates, including the total revenues to be earned over the life of a "phase" (as defined in ASC 978) based upon an estimated retail sales price per point.

Since our implementation of ASC 978, through the quarter ended June 30, 2014, we treated most of our resort trusts (each a Diamond Collection") as separate phases, for which we maintained separate relative sales value models, as the Diamond Collections were considered distinct pools of inventory. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, we began the practice of transferring (including through bulk transfer agreements) significant amounts of company owned inventory and inventory that had been held by certain Diamond Collections in the U.S. (“U.S. Collections”) to those of our U.S. Collections that were in active sales. As a result of this change, the U.S. Collections became more homogeneous in nature (i.e., inventory within a single resort could now be included in multiple U.S. Collections). This represented a change in our internal vacation ownership interests (“Vacation Interests”) inventory management strategy intended to maintain adequate inventory levels to satisfy future projected sales levels.

As a result, during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, we transitioned to one consolidated relative sales value model for all of the U.S. Collections, which was more reflective of our current business model as it relates to our internal Vacation Interests inventory management strategy. In doing so, we combined a higher concentration of inventory within the U.S. Collections that had a lower average future retail sales price per point with a smaller concentration of inventory that had a higher average future retail sales price per point. Accordingly, the total weighted-average estimated revenue over the life of the U.S. Collections phase under one model exceeded that of the total individual models combined. In addition, the cost pools of each individual relative sales value model varied due to differences in the acquisition cost of Vacation Interests inventory in each U.S. Collection. The inception-to-date cost off rate was also impacted by these differences in cost when the relative sales value model was changed for the U.S. Collections. This resulted in a lower cumulative cost of sales percentage (higher estimated future revenue and lower overall cost off rate) as of September 30, 2014.

Originally, we had concluded that this decrease in Vacation Interests cost of sales should be recognized prospectively. However, subsequent to the issuance of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, we determined that the change related to our internal Vacation Interests inventory management strategy should have been accounted for as a change in accounting estimate under ASC 978. Specifically, we should have recorded Unsold Vacation Interests, net in the quarterly period ended September 30, 2014 as if the lower Vacation Interests cost of sales percentage was applied at the beginning of the phase. The resulting $29.6 million and $33.2 million adjustment in the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and year ended December 31, 2014, respectively, should have been recorded as an increase to unsold Vacation Interests, net along with a corresponding reduction in the Vacation Interests cost of sales for that period, rather than applying it as a reduction to the future cost of sales percentage. This change also resulted in a decrease of $4.7 million and $0.2 million to Vacation Interests cost of sales and a corresponding increase in unsold Vacation Interests, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.

As such, we have restated our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 to correct our accounting for Vacation Interests cost of sales and Unsold Vacation Interests, net as a result of this change. The restatement of our historical consolidated financial statements to reflect this correction in the application of the relative sales value model in accounting for Vacation Interests cost of sales is referred to herein as the "Restatement."

For further information regarding the Restatement, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 8, 2016 (the "Restatement 8-K"), and for detailed financial information with respect to the Restatement, see “Note 3—Restatement to Previously Issued Financial Statements” of our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A (“Note 3”).

The following items of the original Form 10-Q have been modified or revised in this Form 10-Q/A to reflect the Restatement:

Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements;

Part I. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;

This amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A sets forth the original Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 in its entirety, except as required to reflect the effects of the Restatement. To the extent that any amounts reported in the original Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been modified as a result of the Restatement, such amounts are presented throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A as adjusted for the Restatement.

The Company operates in the hospitality and vacation ownership industry, with a worldwide network of 352 vacation destinations located in 34 countries throughout the world, including the continental United States ("U.S."), Hawaii, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Africa (as of September 30, 2015). The Company’s resort network includes 93 resort properties with approximately 11,000 units that are managed by the Company and 255 affiliated resorts and hotels and four cruise itineraries, which the Company does not manage and do not carry the Company's brand, but are a part of the Company's network and, through THE Club and other Club offerings (the "Clubs"), are available for its members to use as vacation destinations.

The Company’s operations consist of two interrelated businesses: (i) hospitality and management services, which includes operations related to the management of the homeowners associations (the "HOAs") for resort properties and seven multi-resort trusts and one single-resort trust (collectively, the "Diamond Collections"), operations of the Clubs, food and beverage venues owned and managed by the Company and the provision of other hospitality and management services and (ii) Vacation Interests ("VOIs" or "Vacation Interests") sales and financing, which includes marketing and sales of VOIs and consumer financing for purchasers of the Company’s VOIs.

Through December 31, 2014, hospitality and management services also included operations of two properties located in St. Maarten for which a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company functioned as the HOA. Effective January 1, 2015, the Company assigned the rights and related obligations associated with assets it previously owned as the HOA for these properties to newly created HOAs (the "St. Maarten HOAs"). The Company has no beneficial interest in the St. Maarten HOAs, except through its ownership of VOIs, but continues to serve as the manager of the St. Maarten HOAs pursuant to customary management services agreements.

As a result of these transactions, the operating results and the assets and liabilities of the St. Maarten properties were deconsolidated from the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements effective January 1, 2015 (with the exception of all employee-related liabilities including the post-retirement benefit plan, which were transferred to the St. Maarten HOAs during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, and cash accounts, which are expected to be transferred to the St. Maarten HOAs during the quarter ending December 31, 2015) (the "St. Maarten Deconsolidation").

Basis of Presentation

During the fourth quarter of December 31, 2015, the Company concluded that the majority of the cash collected on overnight rental operations ultimately belong to the Company and are available for general corporate use and reclassified the amount of such cash on its balance sheet from cash in escrow and restricted cash to cash and cash equivalents. Consequently, the Company revised its statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to reflect this reclassification. In addition, the Company reclassified certain amounts related to changes in cash in escrow and restricted cash from cash flows from financing activities to cash flows from operating activities in its statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to conform to the current period presentation.

The revisions to and impact on the statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as a result of both reclassifications above are not material.

Certain balances in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 have been reclassified for immaterial foreign currency translation adjustments to conform to current year presentation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Diamond Resorts International, Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies described in the Company's 2014 Form 10-K. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitte

d. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be reviewed in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements included in the 2014 Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2015 or any future period.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Significant accounting policies are those policies that, in management's view, are most important in the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The methods, estimates and judgments that the Company uses in applying its accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that it reports in the financial statements. Some of these significant accounting policies require the Company to make subjective and complex judgments regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. See "Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2014 Form 10-K for a discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies that require significant judgment.

Principles of Consolidation—The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated from the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue, bad debts, unsold Vacation Interests, net, Vacation Interests cost of sales, stock-based compensation expense and income taxes. These estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of the Company's analyses form the basis for making assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and the impact of such differences may be material to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes most of the current revenue recognition requirements ("ASU No. 2014-09"). The core principle of this guidance is that an entity is required to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. New disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers are also required. Entities must adopt the new guidance using one of two retrospective application methods. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2014-09 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual Items ("ASU No. 2015-01"), which eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Extraordinary items are events and transactions that are distinguished by their unusual nature and by the infrequency of their occurrence. ASU No. 2015-01 simplifies income statement presentation by altogether removing the concept of extraordinary items from consideration. ASU No. 2015-01 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2015-01 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2016. The Company believes that the adoption of this update will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (“ASU No. 2015-02”), which is intended to respond to stakeholders’ concerns about the current accounting guidance for certain legal entities. The amendments update the analysis of consolidation for limited partnerships, contractual fee arrangements and investment funds, as well as include additional guidance on the effect of related parties. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-02 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-02 may be applied retrospectively or using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2015-02 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of its adoption on its financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest ("ASU No. 2015-03"), which is intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-03 require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in ASU No. 2015-03. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2015-03 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2016. The Company believes that the adoption of this update will result in a reclassification between assets and liabilities but will have no other impact on its financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software ("ASU No. 2015-05"), which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license and, if so, how the software license element of the arrangement should be accounted for by the customer. ASU No. 2015-05 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2015-05 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2016. The Company believes that the adoption of this update will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations - Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments ("ASU No. 2015-16"), which requires that an acquirer in a business combination recognize adjustments to estimated amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. ASU No. 2015-16 also requires that the acquirer record, in the current period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the estimated amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. ASU No. 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-16 should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2015-16 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2016. The Company believes that the adoption of this update will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

Note 3 — Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

The Company restated its previously issued consolidated financial statements to reflect a change in the application of its relative sales value model used to calculate Vacation Interests cost of sales as a change in estimate as described below.

As discussed in "Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2015

2015

, the Company uses the relative sales value method to account for Vacation Interests cost of sales in accordance with the provisions of ASC , for which the Company relies on complex financial models that began with the Company’s implementation of ASC 978 in 2005 and continue prospectively through the theoretical sell-out of the respective inventory. These models incorporate a variety of estimates, including the total revenues to be earned over the life of a "phase" (as defined in ASC 987) based upon an estimated retail sales price per point.

Since the Company’s implementation of ASC 978, through the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company treated most of its resort trust (each a "Diamond Collection") as separate phases, for which the Company maintained separate relative sales value models, as the Diamond Collections were considered distinct pools of inventory. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company began the practice of transferring (including through bulk transfer agreements) significant amounts of Company-owned inventory that had been held by certain Diamond Collections in the U.S. (“U.S. Collections”) to those of the Company's U.S. Collections that were in active sales. As a result of this change, the U.S. Collections became more homogeneous in nature (i.e., inventory within a single resort could now be included in multiple U.S. Collections). This represented a change in the Company’s internal vacation ownership interests ("Vacation Interests") inventory management strategy intended to maintain adequate inventory levels to satisfy future projected sales levels.

As a result, during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company transitioned to one consolidated relative sales value model for all of the U.S. Collections, which was more reflective of the Company’s current business model as it relates to the Company's internal Vacation Interests inventory management strategy. In doing so, the Company combined a higher concentration of inventory within the U.S. Collections that had a lower average future retail sales price per point with a smaller concentration of inventory that had a higher average future retail sales price per point. Accordingly, the total weighted average

Table of Contents

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued

estimated revenue over the life of the U.S. Collections phase under one model exceeded that of the total individual models combined. In addition, the cost pools of each individual relative sales value model varied due to differences in the acquisition cost of Vacation Interests inventory in each of the U.S. Collections. The inception-to-date cost off rate was also impacted by these differences in cost when the relative sales value model was combined for the U.S. Collections. This resulted in a lower cumulative cost of sales percentage (higher estimated future revenue and lower overall cost off rate) as of September 30, 2014.

Originally, the Company concluded that this decrease in Vacation Interests cost of sales should be recognized prospectively. However, subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company determined that the change related to the Company’s internal Vacation Interests inventory management strategy should have been accounted for as a change in accounting estimate under ASC 978. Specifically, the Company should have recorded Unsold Vacation Interests, net in the quarterly period ended September 30, 2014 as if the lower Vacation Interests cost of sales percentage was applied at the beginning of the phase. The resulting $29.6 million and $33.2 million adjustment in the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2014 respectively, should have been recorded as an increase to unsold Vacation Interests, net, along with a corresponding reduction in the Vacation Interests cost of sales for that period, rather than applying it as a reduction to the future cost of sales percentage. The restatement to reflect this correction in the application of the relative sales value model in accounting for Vacation Interests cost of sales is referred to herein as the "Restatement."

The table below sets forth balances as originally reported for balance sheet categories impacted by the Restatement, the impact of the Restatement on such categories and revised balances for such categories as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Note 4 — Concentrations of Risk

Credit Risk—The Company is exposed to on-balance sheet credit risk related to its mortgages and contracts receivable. The Company offers financing to the buyers of VOIs and bears the risk of defaults on promissory notes delivered to it by buyers of VOIs. If a buyer of VOIs defaults, the Company generally attempts to resell such VOIs by exercise of a power of sale. The associated marketing, selling and administrative costs from the original sale are not recovered and such costs must be incurred again to resell the VOIs. Although in many cases the Company may have recourse against a buyer of VOIs for the unpaid price, certain states have laws that limit the Company’s ability to recover personal judgments against customers who have defaulted on their loans, and the Company has generally not pursued this remedy.

The Company maintains cash, cash equivalents, cash in escrow, and restricted cash with various financial institutions. These financial institutions are located throughout North America, Europe and the Caribbean. A significant portion of the Company's cash is maintained with a select few banks and is, accordingly, subject to credit risk. Periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of financial institutions maintaining the deposits are performed to evaluate and mitigate, if necessary, any credit risk.

Availability of Funding Sources—The Company has historically funded mortgages and contracts receivable and unsold Vacation Interests with borrowings through its financing facilities and internally generated funds. Borrowings are in turn repaid with the proceeds received by the Company from repayments of such mortgages and contracts receivable. To the extent that the

Table of Contents

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued

Company is not successful in maintaining or replacing existing financings, it may have to curtail its sales and marketing operations or sell assets, thereby resulting in a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Geographic Concentration—Portions of the Company's consumer loan portfolio are concentrated in certain geographic regions within the U.S. The deterioration of the economic condition and financial well-being of the regions in which the Company has significant loan concentrations could adversely affect the results of operations for its consumer loan portfolio business. The credit risk inherent in such concentrations is dependent upon regional and general economic stability, which affects property values and the financial well-being of the borrowers. As of September 30, 2015, the Company's loans to California residents constituted 33.6% of the consumer loan portfolio. No other state or foreign country concentration accounted for more than 10.0% of the portfolio.

Interest Rate Risk—Since a significant portion of the Company's indebtedness bears interest at variable rates, any increase in interest rates beyond amounts covered under the Company’s derivative financial instruments, particularly if sustained, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

The Company derives net interest income from its financing activities because the interest rates it charges its customers who finance the purchase of their VOIs exceed the interest rates the Company pays to its lenders. Since the Company’s customer receivables generally bear interest at fixed rates, increases in interest rates will erode the spread in interest rates that the Company has historically obtained.

On March 20, 2015, as required by the Company's $200.0 million conduit facility (the "Conduit Facility") that was amended and restated on February 5, 2015 and further amended on June 26, 2015 (the "June 2015 Amendment"), the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $56.9 million (the "March 2015 Swap") that was scheduled to mature on March 20, 2025, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company paid interest at a fixed rate of 2.46% based on a floating notional amount according to a pre-determined amortization schedule and received interest based on one-month floating LIBOR. The March 2015 Swap did not qualify for hedge accounting. On July 29, 2015, the March 2015 Swap was terminated upon the payoff of the then-outstanding balance under the Conduit Facility using the proceeds from the issuance of $170.0 million of investment-grade securities, consisting of two tranches of vacation ownership loan-backed notes (collectively, the "DROT 2015-1 Notes").

On June 26, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement (the "June 2015 Cap") to further limit its exposure to interest rate increases. The June 2015 Cap was scheduled to terminate on June 20, 2025 and bore an interest rate of 4.64% based on a notional amount of $72.0 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the agreement governing the June 2015 Cap. The June 2015 Cap did not qualify for hedge accounting. The Company paid $0.3 million for the June 2015 Cap, which was recorded as a derivative asset. The June 2015 Cap was terminated on July 1, 2015 concurrent with the further amendment of the Conduit Facility on July 1, 2015 (the "July 2015 Amendment"). See "Note 16—Borrowings" for further detail on the Conduit Facility.

On October 1, 2015, as required by the Conduit Facility, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, effective September 30, 2015 (the "September 2015 Swap"). The September 2015 Swap has a notional amount of $97.0 million and is scheduled to mature on September 20, 2025. The Company pays interest at a fixed rate of 2.45% based on a floating notional amount in accordance with a pre-determined amortization schedule, and receives interest based on one-month floating LIBOR. The September 2015 Swap did not qualify for hedge accounting.

As of September 30, 2015, the fair value of the September 2015 Swap was calculated to be $0.3 million based on a valuation report provided by a counterparty. This fair value was recorded as a derivative liability with an offsetting charge to interest expense.

The Conduit Facility and the $100.0 million loan sale facility with Quorum Federal Credit Union (the "Quorum Facility") are collectively referred to as the "Funding Facilities." See "Note 16—Borrowings" for further detail on the Conduit Facility and the Quorum Facility.

As of December 31, 2014, Securitization and Funding Facilities collection and reserve cash included $4.4 million related to the future funding of contracts receivable associated with the $260.0 million securitization transaction completed on November 20, 2014 (the "DROT 2014-1 Notes") that was released to the Company's unrestricted cash account in January 2015. Securitization and Funding Facilities collection and reserve cash as of September 30, 2015 did not include such amount. See "Note 16—Borrowings" to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2014 Form 10-K for further detail on the DROT 2014-1 Notes.

Note 6 — Mortgages and Contracts Receivable

The Company provides financing to purchasers of VOIs at its North American and St. Maarten sales centers that are collateralized by their VOIs. Eligibility for this financing is principally dependent upon the customers’ Fair Isaac Corporation ("FICO") credit scores and other factors based on review of the customer’s credit history. As of September 30, 2015, the mortgages and contracts receivable bore interest at fixed rates between 6.0% and 18.0%. The terms of the mortgages and contracts receivable range from two years to 15 years and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The weighted average interest rate of outstanding mortgages and contracts receivable was 14.7% and 14.8% as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

The Company charges off mortgages and contracts receivable upon the earliest of (i) the completion of cancellation or foreclosure proceedings or (ii) the customer's account becoming over 180 days delinquent. Once a delinquent customer has brought the account current following the event leading to the charge-off and makes six timely payments, the charge-off is reversed. A default in a customer's initial payment (after unsuccessful collection efforts) results in a cancellation of the sale. All collection and foreclosure costs related to delinquent loans are expensed as incurred. Mortgages and contracts receivable from 91 to 180 days past due as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were 2.1% and 2.0%, respectively, of gross mortgages and contracts receivable.

The mortgages and contracts receivable, net balance includes deferred loan and contract origination costs related to mortgages originated by the Company, net of the related allowance for loan and contract losses. Loan and contract origination costs incurred in connection with providing financing for VOIs are capitalized and amortized over the estimated life of the mortgages or contracts receivable, based on historical prepayments, as a decrease to interest revenue using the effective interest method. Amortization of deferred loan and contract origination costs charged to interest revenue was $3.3 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $9.5 million and $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Note 7 — Transactions with Related Parties

Due from Related Parties, Net and Due to Related Parties, Net

Amounts due from related parties, net and due to related parties, net consist primarily of transactions with HOAs or Diamond Collections for which the Company acts as the management company. Due from related parties, net transactions include (i) management fees for the Company’s role as the management company; (ii) certain expenses reimbursed by HOAs and Diamond Collections; and (iii) the recovery of a portion of the Company’s Vacation Interests carrying costs, management and member services, consolidated resort operations, loan portfolio and general and administrative expenses that are incurred on behalf of the HOAs and the Diamond Collections according to a pre-determined schedule approved by the board of directors of each HOA and Diamond Collection. Due to related parties, net transactions include (i) the amounts due to HOAs and Diamond Collections under inventory recovery agreements that the Company enters into regularly with certain HOAs and similar agreements with the Diamond Collections, pursuant to which the Company recaptures VOIs, either in the form of vacation points or vacation intervals, and brings them into the Company’s inventory for sale to customers; (ii) the maintenance fee and assessment fee liability owed to HOAs and Diamond Collections for VOIs owned by the Company (generally this liability is recorded on January 1 of each year for the entire amount of annual maintenance and assessment fees, and is relieved throughout the year by payments remitted to the HOAs and the Diamond Collections; these maintenance and assessment fees are also recorded as prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized ratably over the year); (iii) cleaning fees owed to the HOAs for room stays paid by the Company’s customers or by a Club on behalf of a member where the frequency of the cleans exceeds those covered by the respective maintenance fees; and (iv) miscellaneous transactions with other non-HOA related parties.

Amounts due from related parties and due to related parties, some of which are due on demand, carry no interest. Due to the fact that the right of offset exists between the Company and the HOAs and the Diamond Collections, the Company evaluates amounts due to and from each HOA and Diamond Collection at each reporting period to reduce the receivables and the payables on each party's books of record. Any remaining balances are then reclassified as either a net due to or a net due from related parties for each HOA and Diamond Collection in accordance with the requirements of ASC 210, "Balance Sheet— Offsetting."

Hospitality Management and Consulting Service, LLC ("HM&C") Management Services Agreement (the "HM&C Agreement")

HM&C was beneficially owned and controlled by Stephen J. Cloobeck, the Company's Chairman of the Board, and David F. Palmer, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, until the consummation of the HM&C Acquisition (as defined and discussed below), effective as of January 1, 2015. Pursuant to the HM&C Agreement, HM&C has provided two categories of management services to the Company: (i) executive and strategic oversight of the services that the Company provides to HOAs and the Diamond Collections through the Company’s hospitality and management services operations, for the benefit of the Company, the HOAs and the Diamond Collections; and (ii) executive, corporate and strategic oversight of the Company’s operations and certain other administrative services. HM&C provides the Company with the services of four of the Company's executive officers and other employees, each of whom devotes his or her full business time and attention to the Company, and prior to 2015 also provided the Company with the services of Mr. Cloobeck. Prior to the HM&C Acquisition, pursuant to the HM&C Agreement, HM&C was entitled to receive (a) a lump sum annual management fee for providing HOA management services; (b) a lump sum annual management fee for providing corporate management services; (c) a lump sum annual incentive payment based on performance metrics determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company's board of directors, subject to certain minimum amounts set forth in the HM&C Agreement; and (d) reimbursement of HM&C's expenses incurred in connection with its activities under the HM&C Agreement.

HM&C Acquisition

On January 6, 2015, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), whereby it acquired from an entity controlled by Mr. Cloobeck and an entity controlled by Mr. Palmer (which entities owned 95% and 5% of the outstanding membership interests of HM&C, respectively) all of the outstanding membership interests in HM&C in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000 (the "HM&C Acquisition"). As a result of the HM&C Acquisition, effective January 1, 2015, transactions between the Company and HM&C were fully eliminated from the Company's consolidated balance sheet, as HM&C became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Master Agreement

Concurrent with the Company's entry into the Purchase Agreement, on January 6, 2015, the Company entered into a Master Agreement (the "Master Agreement") with Mr. Cloobeck, HM&C, JHJM Nevada I, LLC ("JHJM") and other entities controlled by Mr. Cloobeck or his immediate family members. Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the parties made certain covenants to and agreements with the other parties, including: (i) the termination, effective as of January 1, 2015, of the services agreement between JHJM and HM&C (the "JHJM Agreement"); (ii) the conveyance to the Company of exclusive rights to market timeshare and vacation ownership properties from a prime location adjacent to Polo Towers on the “Las Vegas Strip,” pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement; (iii) Mr. Cloobeck’s agreement to various restrictive covenants, including non-competition, non-solicitation and non-interference covenants; and (iv) Mr. Cloobeck’s grant to the Company of a license to use Mr. Cloobeck’s persona, including his name, likeness and voice. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Master Agreement, the Company paid Mr. Cloobeck or his designees $16.5 million and incurred $0.3 million in expenses related to this transaction. Of these amounts, $7.8 million was recorded as general and administrative expense in connection with the JHJM Agreement and $9.0 million was capitalized as marketing easement rights and other intangible assets. See "Note 12—Other Intangible Assets, Net" for further detail on the intangible assets acquired.

In addition, in light of the termination of the services agreement between JHJM and HM&C and the existence of a director designation agreement dated July 17, 2013, the Company agreed in the Master Agreement that, at least through December 31, 2017, so long as Mr. Cloobeck is serving as a member of the board of directors of the Company, he will continue to be the Chairman of the Board and, in such capacity, will receive annual compensation equal to two times the compensation generally paid to other non-employee directors, and he, his spouse and children will receive medical insurance coverage.

Aircraft Leases

In January 2012, the Company entered into an aircraft lease agreement with N702DR, LLC, a limited liability company of which Mr. Cloobeck is a beneficial owner and a controlling party.

In addition, pursuant to the Master Agreement described above, the Company agreed not to terminate this aircraft lease agreement until at least December 31, 2017, subject to certain termination provisions in the aircraft lease agreement.

In connection with the Company's lease of an aircraft from Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC, Mr. Cloobeck entered into a guarantee in favor of Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC. Pursuant to this guarantee, Mr. Cloobeck guarantees the Company's lease payments and any related indebtedness to Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC. In connection with this aircraft lease, and pursuant to this lease agreement, the Company paid Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC $0.3 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $0.9 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company did not compensate Mr. Cloobeck for providing these guarantees; however, pursuant to the Master Agreement described above, the Company agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Mr. Cloobeck and each of his affiliates from any and all amounts that Mr. Cloobeck is required to pay under the guarantee in favor of Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC. In exchange, Mr. Cloobeck agreed to comply with all the covenants and agreements set forth in the guarantee for so long as Mr. Cloobeck or any of his affiliates is subject to the guarantee.

Guggenheim Relationship

B. Scott Minerd, also a principal of Guggenheim, served as a member of the Company's board of directors until his resignation effective July 28, 2015. Mr. Minerd's resignation did not involve a disagreement on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies, or practices.

Affiliates of Guggenheim are currently lenders under the Conduit Facility, the $470.0 million senior secured credit facility entered into on May 9, 2014 (the "Senior Credit Facility") and the $64.5 million securitization transaction completed on April 27, 2011 (the "DROT 2011 Notes").

Note 16 — Borrowings

Conduit Facility

On February 5, 2015, the Company entered into an amended and restated Conduit Facility agreement that extended the maturity date of the facility to April 10, 2017. That amended and restated Conduit Facility provides for a $200.0 million facility that is, upon maturity, renewable for 364-day periods at the election of the lenders. The overall advance rate on loans receivable in the portfolio is limited to 88% of the aggregate face value of the eligible loans. The Conduit Facility originally bore interest at LIBOR or the commercial paper rate (having a floor of 0.50%) plus a usage-fee rate of 2.75%, and had a non-usage fee of 0.75%. In connection with the June 2015 Amendment, the usage-fee rate was reduced to 2.25%.

The June 2015 Amendment also provides, among other things, (i) that, at any time the outstanding note balance has been reduced to zero in connection with the delivery of a prepayment notice, the first borrowing thereafter must include a minimum of 250 timeshare loans, and (ii) for the inclusion of timeshare loans that have been executed through the utilization of electronic signature and electronic vaulting and management services.

In accordance with the requirements of the July 2015 Amendment, the Company posted a reserve payment in the amount of $0.4 million against the derivative instruments associated with the Conduit Facility. This reserve payment was refunded to the Company upon the completion of the DROT 2015-1 Notes in which more than 75% of the outstanding balance under the Conduit Facility was repaid using the proceeds from such securitization or other financing.

Securitization Notes

On July 29, 2015, the Company completed a securitization involving the issuance of $170.0 million DROT 2015-1 Notes. The interest rates for the $158.5 million Class A tranche notes and the $11.5 million Class B tranche notes are 2.7% and 3.2%, respectively. The overall weighted average interest rate is 2.8%. The advance rate for this transaction is 96.0%. The proceeds from the DROT 2015-1 Notes were used to repay all of the outstanding balance plus accrued interest under the Conduit Facility, as well as to pay debt issuance cost related to the DROT 2015-1 Notes with the remaining proceeds transferred to the Company for general corporate use, and the reserve payment described above was refunded to the Company.

Quorum Facility

On September 30, 2015, pursuant to a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Company amended the Quorum Facility to increase the aggregate minimum committed amount from $80.0 million to $100.0 million and to extend the term of the agreement to December 31, 2017, provided that Quorum Federal Credit Union may further extend the term for additional periods by written notice. As of September 30, 2015, the weighted average advance rate was 83.6% and the weighted average interest rate was 5.6%.

Notes Payable

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company issued two unsecured notes to finance premiums on certain insurance policies. Both unsecured notes are scheduled to mature in January 2016 and carry an interest rate of 2.7% per annum.

(1) Non-recourse indebtedness
(2) Borrowing / funding availability is calculated as the difference between the maximum commitment amount and the outstanding principal balance; however, the actual availability is dependent on the amount of eligible loans that serve as the collateral for such borrowings.

Borrowing Restrictions and Limitations

All of the Company’s borrowing under the Senior Credit Facility, securitization notes and the Conduit Facility contain various restrictions and limitations that may affect the Company's business and affairs. These include, but are not limited to, restrictions and limitations relating to its ability to incur indebtedness and other obligations, to make investments and acquisitions and to pay dividends. The Company is also required to maintain certain financial ratios and comply with other financial and performance covenants. The failure of the Company to comply with any of these provisions, or to pay its obligations, could result in foreclosure by the lenders of their security interests in the Company’s assets, and could otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants as of September 30, 2015.

Liquidity

Historically, the Company has depended on the availability of credit to finance the consumer loans that it provides to its customers for the purchase of their VOIs. Typically, these loans require a minimum cash down payment of 10% of the purchase price at the time of sale. However, selling, marketing and administrative expenses attributable to VOI sales are primarily cash expenses and often exceed the buyer's minimum down payment requirement. Accordingly, the availability of financing facilities for the sale or pledge of these receivables to generate liquidity is a critical factor in the Company's ability to meet its short-term and long-term cash needs. The Company has historically relied upon its ability to sell receivables in the securitization market in order to generate liquidity and create capacity on its Funding Facilities.

Note 17 — Income Taxes (Restated - See Note 3)

In accordance with ASC 740-270, "Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods," the income tax provisions for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were determined primarily using estimated annual effective tax rates based on estimated income before provision for income taxes for the full years ending December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For certain foreign jurisdictions, the tax provisions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were determined using year-to-date income before provision for income taxes.

Note 18 — Commitments and Contingencies

Contractual Obligations

The Company has entered into various contractual obligations primarily related to construction of units at the Cabo Azul Resort in Mexico, as well as relating to sales center remodeling, property amenity improvement and corporate office expansion projects. The total remaining commitment was $7.1 million as of September 30, 2015.

Hurricane Odile

In September 2014, Hurricane Odile, a Category 4 hurricane, inflicted widespread damage on the Baja California peninsula, particularly in the state of Baja California Sur, in which the Cabo Azul Resort, one of the Company's managed resorts, is located. Hurricane Odile caused significant damage to the buildings as well as the facilities and amenities at the Cabo Azul Resort, including unsold Vacation Interests and property and equipment owned by the Company. During the nine months ended September 2015, the Company received $5.0 million in proceeds from its insurance carrier for property damage resulting from Hurricane Odile. Management believes the Company has sufficient property insurance to cover the costs incurred by the Company in excess of $5.0 million when the insurance claim is ultimately settled.

In addition, the Company has filed a claim under its business interruption insurance policy for business profits lost during the period that the Cabo Azul Resort remained closed as a result of the damage suffered in Hurricane Odile. During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company received an aggregate of $3.6 million in installments from its insurance carrier related to such claim, which was recognized as other revenue in the condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income (loss). The total claim remains under negotiation with the insurance carrier and any further payments will also be recorded in the periods in which they are received. The Cabo Azul Resort and the on-site sales center reopened on September 1, 2015.

Kona Agreement

On July 28, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement for the purchase and sale of property (the "Kona Agreement") with Hawaii Funding LLC (the "Kona Seller"), an affiliate of Och-Ziff Real Estate. The Kona Agreement relates to the development by the Kona Seller of a new resort, which is expected to consist of 144 units, on property located in Kona, Hawaii to be acquired by the Kona Seller. Pursuant to the Kona Agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase all of the units, subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions. The Kona Seller's delivery of the units to the Company, which is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2017 and continue through mid-2018, is subject to various conditions precedent and rights of the parties.

Litigation Contingencies

From time to time, the Company or its subsidiaries are subject to certain legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates these legal proceedings and claims at each balance sheet date to determine the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, the Company’s ability to make a reasonable estimate of loss. The Company records a contingent litigation liability when it determines, after consultation with outside counsel, that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Note 19 — Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements" ("ASC 820"), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:


•	Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Table of Contents

DIAMOND RESORTS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued


•	Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable.


•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs used when little or no market data is available.

As of September 30, 2015, the only assets and liabilities of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis were the September 2015 Swap. As of September 30, 2015, the fair value of the September 2015 Swap was based on valuation reports provided by counterparties and was classified as Level 3, based on the fact that the credit risk data used for the valuations were not directly observable and could not be corroborated by observable market data. The Company’s assessment of the significant inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. See "Note 4—Concentrations of Risk" for further detail on the derivative instruments.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The following table summarizes the information regarding the Company's derivative instruments as of the dates presented below (in thousands):



	As of September 30, 2015				As of December 31, 2014
	Carrying Value		Total Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Total Estimated Fair Value
Liabilities:
Interest rate swap agreement (a)	$	284	$	284	$	—	$	—
Total Liabilities	$	284	$	284	$	—	$	—

(a) Values associated with the September 2015 Swap are presented under the derivative liabilities category of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, mortgages and contracts receivable had a balance of $571.3 million and $498.7 million, net of allowance, respectively. The allowance for loan and contract losses against the mortgages and contracts receivable is derived using a static pool analysis to develop historical default percentages based on FICO credit scores to apply to the mortgage and contract population. The Company evaluates other factors such as economic conditions, industry trends and past due aging reports in order to determine the adjustments needed to true up the allowance, which adjusts the carrying value of mortgages and contracts receivable to management's best estimate of collectability. As a result of such evaluation, the Company believes that the carrying value of the mortgages and contracts receivable approximated its fair value at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. These financial assets were classified as Level 3, as there is little market data available.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility were classified as Level 2 and the Company believes the fair value of the Senior Credit Facility approximated its carrying value at such dates due to the fact that the market for similar instruments remained stable since May 2014, when the Company entered into the Senior Credit Facility.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company’s DROT 2011 Notes, the notes issued in the securitization transaction completed on January 23, 2013 (the "DROT 2013-1 Notes"), the notes issued in the securitization transaction completed on November 20, 2013 (the "DROT 2013-2 Notes"), DROT 2014-1 Notes and DROT 2015-1 Notes were classified as Level 2. As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s DROT 2011 Notes, DROT 2013-1 Notes, DROT 2013-2 Notes and DROT 2014-1 were classified as Level 2. The fair value of these borrowings was determined with the assistance of an investment banking firm, which the Company believes approximated similar instruments in active markets. The Company believes the fair value of the Diamond Resorts Tempus Owner Trust 2013 Notes issued on September 20, 2013 (the "Tempus 2013 Notes") approximated their carrying value due to the fact that the market for similar instruments remained stable since September 2013, the issuance date of the Tempus 2013 Notes. Consequently, the Tempus 2013 Notes were classified as Level 2 as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. See "Note 16—Borrowings" to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2014 Form 10-K for further detail on these borrowings.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Quorum Facility and a loan sale agreement that the Company assumed in connection with a previous business combination were classified as Level 2 based on an internal analysis performed by the Company utilizing the discounted cash flow model and the quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair values of all other debt instruments were not calculated, based on the fact that they were either due within one year or were immaterial.

In accordance with ASC 820, the Company also applied the provisions of fair value measurement to various non-recurring measurements for the Company’s financial and non-financial assets and liabilities and recorded the impairment charges. The Company’s non-financial assets consist of property and equipment, which are recorded at cost, net of depreciation, unless impaired, and assets held for sale, which are recorded at the lower of cost or their estimated fair value less costs to sell.

Note 20 — Stock Repurchase Program

On October 28, 2014, the Company's board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program allowing for the expenditure of up to $100.0 million for the repurchase of the Company's common stock (the "Stock Repurchase Program"). On July 28, 2015, the Company's board of directors authorized an additional $100.0 million for expenditures under the Stock Repurchase Program. With the new authorization, approximately $101.9 million was available as of September 30, 2015 under the Stock Repurchase Program. Any repurchases under the expanded program will be made from time to time in accordance with applicable securities laws in the open market and/or in privately negotiated transactions and may include repurchases pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The expanded repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any additional shares of common stock or impose any particular timetable for repurchases, and the program may be suspended or modified at any time at the Company’s discretion. The timing and amount of any stock repurchases will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, the trading price of the stock, potential alternative uses of cash resources, applicable legal requirements, compliance with the provisions of the Company’s credit agreement, and other factors.

On July 18, 2013, the Company granted to the former holders of Diamond Resorts Parent, LLC (DRII's predecessor) Class B common units ("BCUs") non-qualified stock options, which were immediately vested, exercisable for an aggregate of 3,760,215 shares of common stock, at an option price of $14.00 per share, in part to maintain the incentive value intended when the Company originally issued those BCUs to these individuals and to provide an incentive for such individuals to continue providing service to the Company. The grantees of these immediately vested options include Messrs. Cloobeck, Kraff, Palmer, Bentley, Lanznar and two employees of the Company. Through December 31, 2014, Messrs. Cloobeck, Palmer, Bentley and Lanznar were not employed or compensated directly by the Company, but were rather employed or independently contracted and compensated by HM&C. See "Note 7—Transactions with Related Parties" for further detail on the HM&C Agreement.

In addition, between July 18, 2013 and December 31, 2014, the Company issued additional non-qualified stock options, exercisable for an aggregate of 4,408,100 shares of common stock, to Eligible Persons (including employees of HM&C), each at an option price equal to the market price on the applicable grant date. 25% of the shares issuable upon the exercise of such non-qualified stock options vested immediately on the grant date and the remaining 75% vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. All of these options expire ten years from the grant date.

On May 19, 2015, the Company issued additional non-qualified stock options, exercisable for an aggregate of 1,067,000 shares of common stock, to Eligible Persons, each at an option price equal to the market price on the applicable grant date. 25% of the shares issuable upon the exercise of such non-qualified stock options vest in equal installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. All of these options expire ten years from the grant date.

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation issued to its employees and non-employee directors (in their capacity as such) in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation—Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718"). For a stock-based award with service-only vesting conditions, the Company measures compensation expense at fair value on the grant date and recognizes this expense in the statement of income and comprehensive income (loss) over the expected term during which the employees (including, from an accounting perspective, non-employee directors in their capacity as such) of the Company provide service in exchange for the award.

Through December 31, 2014 and prior to the Company's acquisition of HM&C in January 2015, the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation issued to employees and independent contractors of HM&C in accordance with ASC 505-50,

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued

"Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees" ("ASC 505"). In addition, the stock-based compensation issued to Mr. Kraff in connection with the Company's initial public offering of common stock (the "IPO") has been accounted for in accordance with ASC 505. Employees and independent contractors of HM&C through December 31, 2014 and Mr. Kraff (with respect to the stock-based compensation issued to him in connection with the IPO) are collectively referred to as the "Non-Employees," and the stock-based compensation issued to the Non-Employees are collectively referred to as the "Non-Employee Grants." Pursuant to ASC 505, the fair value of an equity instrument issued to Non-Employees is initially measured on the grant date by using the stock price and other measurement assumptions and subsequently remeasured at each balance sheet date as (and to the extent) the relevant performance is completed. With respect to the stock-based compensation issued to Mr. Kraff in connection with the IPO, his performance of services was considered completed at the grant date.

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company acquired all of the outstanding membership interests in HM&C, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As employees of HM&C became employees of the Company following the HM&C Acquisition, all unvested stock options issued to employees of HM&C were converted to employee grants from an accounting perspective on January 1, 2015.

As a result of the HM&C Acquisition, compensation cost attributable to unvested options issued to employees of HM&C was remeasured as if the unvested options were newly granted on January 1, 2015, and the portion of the newly measured cost attributable to the remaining vesting period will be recognized as compensation cost prospectively from January 1, 2015.

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of the stock options granted to its employees (including, from an accounting perspective, non-employee directors in their capacity as such) and Non-Employees. The expected volatility was calculated based on the historical volatility of the stock prices for a group of identified peer companies for the expected term of the stock options on the grant date (which is significantly greater than the volatility of the S&P 500® index as a whole during the same period) due to the lack of historical stock trading prices of the Company. The average expected option life represented the period of time the stock options were expected to be outstanding at the issuance date based on management’s estimate using the simplified method prescribed under the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14: Share-Based Payment ("SAB 14") for employee grants and contractual terms for Non-Employee grants. The risk-free interest rate was calculated based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield with a remaining term that approximated the expected option life assumed at the date of issuance. The expected annual dividend per share was 0% based on the Company’s expected dividend rate.

The fair value per share information, including related assumptions, used to determine compensation cost for the Company’s non-qualified stock options consistent with the requirements of ASC 718 and ASC 505, consisted of the following for the following periods:



	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value that would have been realized by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on September 30, 2015. The intrinsic value of a stock option is the excess of the Company’s closing stock price on that date over the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares subject to the option.

The following table summarizes the Company’s unvested stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2015:

Restricted Stock, RSUs and Deferred Stock

Between July 18, 2013 and December 31, 2014, the Company issued restricted stock to certain non-employee members of the board of directors of the Company, which vest equally on each of the first three anniversary dates from the grant date.

On May 19, 2015, the Company issued restricted stock to certain employees of the Company (which vest equally on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date) and non-employee members of the board of directors of the Company (which vest equally on each of the first 12 quarterly anniversaries of the grant date).

In addition, on May 19, 2015, the Company issued RSUs to certain employees of the Company (which conditionally vest equally on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date and fully vest on the fourth anniversary date of the grant date when certain conditions are met) and to certain non-employee members of the board of directors of the Company who elected to receive RSUs in lieu of restricted stock for services rendered (which vest equally on each of the first 12 quarterly anniversaries of the grant date).

Furthermore, on May 19, 2015, the Company issued deferred stock to certain non-employee members of the board of directors of the Company who elected to receive deferred stock in lieu of cash for services rendered. The deferred stock vested immediately on the grant date.

All restricted stock, RSUs and deferred stock issued on May 19, 2015 (the "Stock Unit Issuances") were valued at $32.69 per share (the closing stock price of the Company's common stock on such date). The aggregate value of the awards was recorded as common stock and additional paid-in capital in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding increase to prepaid expense and other assets, and subsequently charged to expense ratably over the respective amortization periods of the Stock Unit Issuances.

Note 23 — Net Income Per Share (Restated - See Note 3)

The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share." Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income for common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus potentially dilutive common shares, such as stock options and restricted stock.

Dilutive potential common shares are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all options are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The amount of shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the securities.

Approximately 1.1 million shares and 0.5 million shares underlying stock options for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, were excluded from the net income per share computation, as their effect would be antidilutive under the treasury stock method.

The table below sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share for the periods presented below (in thousands, except per share amounts) (Restated - Note 3):

Note 24 — Segment Reporting (Restated - See Note 3)

The Company presents its results of operations in two segments: (i) hospitality and management services, which includes operations related to the management of resort properties and the Diamond Collections, operation of the Clubs, operations of the properties located in St. Maarten for which the Company functioned as the HOA through December 31, 2014, food and beverage venues owned and managed by the Company and the provision of other services; and (ii) Vacation Interests sales and financing, which includes operations relating to the marketing and sales of Vacation Interests, as well as the consumer financing activities related to such sales. While certain line items reflected on the statement of income and comprehensive income (loss) fall completely into one of these business segments, other line items relate to revenues or expenses that are applicable to more than one segment. For line items that are applicable to more than one segment, revenues or expenses are allocated by management, which involves significant estimates. Certain expense items (principally corporate interest expense, depreciation and amortization and provision for income taxes) are not, in management’s view, allocable to either of these business segments, as they apply to the entire Company. In addition, general and administrative expenses (which exclude hospitality and management services related overhead that is recovered from the HOAs and the Diamond Collections) are not allocated to either of these business segments because, historically, management has not allocated these expenses for purposes of evaluating the Company’s different operational divisions. Accordingly, these expenses are presented under corporate and other.

Management believes that it is impracticable to allocate specific assets and liabilities related to each business segment. In addition, management does not review balance sheets by business segment as part of their evaluation of operating segment performances. Consequently, no balance sheet segment reports have been presented.

Note 25 — Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

On May 9, 2014, the Company repaid all outstanding indebtedness under its three inventory loans (previously entered into in connection with various business combinations) using a portion of the proceeds from the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility. The unamortized debt issuance costs on these inventory loans were recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt.

In addition, on May 9, 2014, the Company terminated its previous revolving credit facility in conjunction with its entry into the Senior Credit Facility and recorded the unamortized debt issuance costs as a loss on extinguishment of debt.

On June 9, 2014, the Company redeemed the remaining outstanding principal amount under the Senior Secured Notes using a portion of the proceeds from the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility. As a result, $30.2 million of redemption premium, $9.4 million of unamortized debt issuance cost and $6.1 million of unamortized debt discount were recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt. See "Note 16—Borrowings" to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2014 Form 10-K for further detail on these transactions.

Loss on extinguishment of debt consisted of the following for the periods listed below (in thousands):

On October 16, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Ocean Beach Club, LLC, Gold Key Resorts, LLC, Professional Hospitality Resources, Inc., Vacation Rentals, LLC and Resort Promotions, Inc. (collectively, the “Gold Key Companies”) relating to their operation of their vacation ownership business in Virginia Beach, Virginia and the Outer Banks, North Carolina. The Company acquired management contracts, real property interests, unsold vacation ownership interests and other assets of the Gold Key Companies, adding six additional managed resorts to the Company’s resort network, in exchange for a cash purchase price of approximately $167.5 million and the assumption of certain non-interest bearing liabilities. An additional $6.2 million was deposited into an escrow account in connection with an agreement between the Company and the Gold Key Companies to service pre-closing Gold Key consumer receivables and is treated as restricted cash.

Between October 1, 2015 and November 2, 2015, the Company used $27.0 million of cash to repurchase shares of its common stock. As of November 2, 2015, approximately $75.0 million was available for expenditure under the Stock Repurchase Program.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS

This discussion contains forward-looking statements, which are covered by the "Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements" provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. We have tried to identify forward-looking statements in this discussion by using words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans” and “believes,” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may” and “could.” These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements relating to our future financial performance, our business prospects and strategy, anticipated financial position, liquidity and capital needs and other similar matters. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and assumptions about future events, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict.

Our actual results may differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report as a result of various factors, including, among others:


•	risks related to the Restatement, including, without limitation, potential inquiries from the SEC and/or the New York Stock Exchange, the potential adverse effect on the price of our common stock and possible claims by our stockholders or otherwise;


•	adverse trends or disruptions in economic conditions generally or in the vacation ownership, vacation rental and travel industries;


•	adverse changes to, or interruptions in, relationships with our affiliates and other third parties, including termination of our hospitality management contracts;


•	our ability to maintain an optimal inventory of vacation ownership interests ("VOI" or "Vacation Interests") for sale overall, as well as in seven multi-resort trusts and one single-resort trust (collectively, the "Diamond Collections");


•	our ability to sell, securitize or borrow against our consumer loans;


•	decreased demand from prospective purchasers of VOIs;


•	adverse events, including weather-related and other natural disasters and crises, or trends in vacation destinations and regions where the resorts in our network are located;


•	changes in our senior management;


•	our ability to comply with regulations applicable to the vacation ownership industry;


•	the effects of our indebtedness and our compliance with the terms thereof;


•	changes in the interest rate environment and their effects on our outstanding indebtedness;


•	our ability to successfully implement our growth strategy, including our strategy to selectively pursue complementary strategic transactions;


•	risks associated with acquisitions, including difficulty in integrating operations and personnel, disruption of ongoing business and increased expenses;


•	our use of structures for development of new inventory in a manner consistent with our asset-light model, including the risk in these structures that we will not control development activities or the timing of inventory delivery and the risk that the third parties do not fulfill their obligations to us;


•	our ability to compete effectively; and


•	other risks and uncertainties discussed in "Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the "2014 Form 10-K").

Accordingly, you should read this report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. Except as expressly required under federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), we do not have any obligation, and do not undertake, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of this report, whether as a result of new information or future events or otherwise. You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report or that may be made elsewhere from time to time by us, or on our behalf. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

Table of Contents

In addition, you should read the following discussion in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, and the related management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in the 2014 Form 10-K.

Explanatory Note

The discussion and analysis below gives effect to the Restatement, which reflects a correction in the application of the relative sales value model in accounting for Vacation Interests cost of sales for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. To the extent that any amounts reported in the original Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been modified as a result of the Restatement, such amounts are presented throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A as adjusted for the Restatement. See Note 3 for further information regarding the Restatement.

Overview

We are a global leader in the hospitality and vacation ownership industry, with a worldwide network of 352 destinations located in 34 countries, throughout the world, including the continental United States ("U.S."), Hawaii, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Africa (as of September 30, 2015). Our resort network includes 93 resort properties with approximately 11,000 units that we manage and 255 affiliated resorts and hotels and four cruise itineraries, which we do not manage and do not carry our brand, but are a part of our network and are available for our members to use as vacation destinations. For financial reporting purposes, our business consists of two segments: (i) hospitality and management services, which is comprised of our hospitality and management services operations, including our operations related to the management of our resort properties, the Diamond Collections and the Clubs, and (ii) Vacation Interests sales and financing, which is comprised of our marketing and sales of VOIs and the consumer financing of purchases of VOIs. Our Clubs include THE Club, which provides members with access to all resorts in our network and offers the full range of member services, as well as other Clubs that enable members to use their points to stay at specified resorts in our network and provide members with a more limited offering of benefits. We refer to THE Club and other Club offerings as “the Clubs.”

Significant 2015 Developments

HM&C Acquisition

Pursuant to the Homeowner Association Oversight, Consulting and Executive Management Services Agreement that we entered into with Hospitality Management and Consulting Service, LLC ("HM&C"), a Nevada limited liability company (the “HM&C Agreement”), HM&C has provided certain services to us, including the services of certain executive officers, including David F. Palmer, President and Chief Executive Officer, C. Alan Bentley, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Howard S. Lanznar, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer, and other officers and employees and, through December 31, 2014, also provided the services of Stephen J. Cloobeck, our founder and Chairman.

On January 6, 2015, we entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), whereby we acquired from an entity controlled by Mr. Cloobeck and an entity controlled by Mr. Palmer (which entities owned 95.0% and 5.0% of the outstanding membership interests of HM&C, respectively), all of the outstanding membership interests in HM&C in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000 (the "HM&C Acquisition").

As a result of the HM&C Acquisition, effective January 1, 2015, transactions between us and HM&C were fully eliminated from our consolidated financial statements, as HM&C became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

Master Agreement

Concurrent with our entry into the Purchase Agreement, on January 6, 2015, we entered into a master agreement (the "Master Agreement") with Mr. Cloobeck, HM&C, JHJM Nevada I, LLC ("JHJM") and other entities controlled by Mr. Cloobeck or his immediate family members. Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the parties made certain covenants to and agreements with the other parties, including: (i) the termination effective as of January 1, 2015, of the services agreement between JHJM and HM&C; (ii) the conveyance to us of exclusive rights to market timeshare and vacation ownership properties from a prime location adjacent to Polo Towers on the "Las Vegas Strip," pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement; (iii) Mr. Cloobeck's agreement to various restrictive covenants, including non-competition, non-solicitation and non-interference covenants; and (iv) Mr. Cloobeck's grant to us of a license to use Mr. Cloobeck's persona, including his name, likeness and voice. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Master Agreement, we paid Mr. Cloobeck or his designees an aggregate of $16.5 million and incurred $0.3 million in expenses related to this transaction.

Table of Contents

In addition, in light of the termination of the services agreement between JHJM and HM&C and the existence of a director designation agreement dated July 17, 2013, we agreed in the Master Agreement that, at least through December 31, 2017, so long as Mr. Cloobeck is serving as a member of our board of directors, he will continue to be the Chairman of the Board and, in such capacity, will receive annual compensation equal to two times the compensation generally paid to other non-employee directors, and he, his spouse and children will receive medical insurance coverage.

Deconsolidation of the St. Maarten Resorts

Effective January 1, 2015, we assigned the rights and related obligations associated with assets we previously owned as the HOA of two properties located in St. Maarten to newly-created HOAs (the "St. Maarten HOAs"). We have no beneficial interest in the St. Maarten HOAs, except through our ownership of VOIs, but continue to serve as the manager of the St. Maarten HOAs pursuant to customary management agreements. As a result of these transactions, the operating results and the assets and liabilities of the St. Maarten properties were deconsolidated from our condensed consolidated financial statements effective January 1, 2015 (with the exception of all employee-related liabilities, including a post-retirement benefit plan, which were transferred to the St. Maarten HOAs during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, and cash accounts, which are expected to be transferred to the St. Maarten HOAs during the quarter ending December 31, 2015) (the "St. Maarten Deconsolidation").

Gold Key Acquisition

On October 16, 2015, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Ocean Beach Club, LLC, Gold Key Resorts, LLC, Professional Hospitality Resources, Inc., Vacation Rentals, LLC and Resort Promotions, Inc. (collectively, the “Gold Key Companies”) relating to their operation of their vacation ownership business in Virginia Beach, Virginia and the Outer Banks, North Carolina (the "Gold Key Acquisition"). We acquired management contracts, real property interests, unsold vacation ownership interests and other assets of the Gold Key Companies, adding six additional managed resorts to our resort network, in exchange for a cash purchase price of approximately $167.5 million and the assumption of certain non-interest bearing liabilities. An additional $6.2 million was deposited into an escrow account in connection with an agreement between us and the Gold Key Companies to service pre-closing Gold Key consumer receivables and is treated as restricted cash.

We used cash and cash equivalents on hand to complete the Gold Key Acquisition. Subject to credit market conditions, we plan to amend our Senior Credit Facility prior to the year ended December 31, 2015 and refinance a substantial portion of the acquisition price under that facility. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Indebtedness—Senior Credit Facility" for the definition of and additional detail on the Senior Credit Facility.

Segment Reporting

For financial reporting purposes, we present our results of operations and financial condition in two business segments. The first business segment is hospitality and management services, which includes our operations related to the management of resort properties and the Diamond Collections, our operation of the Clubs, operations of the properties located in St. Maarten for which we functioned as the HOA through December 31, 2014, food and beverage venues owned and managed by us and the provision of other services. The second business segment, Vacation Interests sales and financing, includes our operations relating to the marketing and sales of our VOIs, as well as our consumer financing activities related to such sales. While certain line items reflected on our statement of income and comprehensive income (loss) fall completely into one of these business segments, other line items relate to revenues or expenses which are applicable to both segments. For line items that are applicable to both segments, revenues or expenses are allocated by management as described under "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition—Key Revenue and Expense Items" in the 2014 Form 10-K, which involves significant estimates. Certain expense items (principally corporate interest expense, depreciation and amortization and provision for income taxes) are not, in management's view, allocable to either of these business segments as they apply to the entire Company. In addition, general and administrative expenses are not allocated to either of our business segments because historically management has not allocated these expenses (which exclude hospitality and management services related overhead that is allocated to the HOAs and Diamond Collections) for purposes of evaluating our different operational divisions. Accordingly, these expenses are presented under corporate and other.

Management believes that it is impracticable to allocate specific assets and liabilities related to each business segment. In addition, management does not review balance sheets by business segment as part of its evaluation of operating segment performances. Consequently, no balance sheet segment reports have been presented.

We also operate our business in two geographic areas: North America (including the Caribbean) and Europe. Our North America operations include our managed resorts in the continental U.S., Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean, and our Europe operations include our managed resorts in England, Scotland, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Malta, France and Greece.

See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition—Key Revenue and Expense Items" in the 2014 Form 10-K for further detail on our key revenue and expense items.

Results of Operations

In comparing our results of operations between two periods, we sometimes refer to "same-store" results. When referring to same-store results of our hospitality and management services segment, we are referring to the results relating to management contracts with resorts in effect during the entirety of the two applicable periods. When referring to same-store results of our Vacation Interests sales and financing segment, we are referring to the results relating to sales centers open during the entirety of the two applicable periods.

The following discussion includes (a) certain financial measures not in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP”), specifically (i) management and member services expense excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense and, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, excluding the non-cash benefit related to the contract renegotiation with Interval International, Inc. ("Interval International"), an exchange company, as discussed below; (ii) advertising, sales and marketing expense excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense; and (iii) general and administrative expense excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense and, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, excluding the cash charge related to the termination of the services agreement between JHJM and HMCS; and (b) a reconciliation of each such non-U.S. GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We exclude these items because management excludes them from its forecasts and evaluation of our operational performance and because we believe that the U.S. GAAP measures including these items are not indicative of our core operating results. The non-U.S. GAAP financial measures included in this quarterly report should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, any measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Consolidated Results

Total revenues increased $29.4 million, or 13.3%, to $251.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $222.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Total revenues in our hospitality and management services segment decreased by $2.8 million, or 5.6%, to $47.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $50.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Total revenues in our Vacation Interests sales and financing segment increased $32.4 million, or 18.9%, to $203.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $171.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Revenue in our corporate and other segment was $0.3 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Total costs and expenses increased $38.5 million, or 26.3%, to $184.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $145.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Total costs and expenses included $4.5 million and $3.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation charges for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Hospitality and Management Services Segment

Management and Member Services Revenue. Total management and member services revenue increased $3.8 million, or 10.2%, to $41.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $37.8 million for the three months ended

Table of Contents

September 30, 2014. Management fees increased as a result of increases in operating costs at the resort level, which generated higher management fee revenue on a same-store basis from 107 cost-plus management agreements. In addition, effective January 1, 2015, we completed the St. Maarten Deconsolidation, thus removing the revenues and expenses related to the two resorts in St. Maarten from our consolidated resort operations revenue and expense, respectively, while recognizing the management fee revenue earned under management and member services revenue. Following the St. Maarten Deconsolidation, we recognized management fees with respect to such resorts of approximately $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Consolidated Resort Operations Revenue. Consolidated resort operations revenue decreased $6.5 million, or 61.8%, to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $10.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease was primarily attributable to the St. Maarten Deconsolidation effective January 1, 2015, which eliminated the consolidated resort operations revenue from these resorts from our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other Revenue. Other revenue decreased $0.2 million, or 10.6%, to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Management and Member Services Expense. For comparison purposes, the following table presents management and member services expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 (in thousands), both on a U.S. GAAP basis and excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation, and such amounts as a percentage of management member services revenue:



	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2015			2014
Management and member services expense	$	8,913		$	8,549
Less: Non-cash stock-based compensation	(326		)	(350		)
Management and member services expense excluding non-cash stock-based compensation	$	8,587		$	8,199
Management and member services expense as a % of management and member services revenue	21.4		%	22.6		%
Management and member services expense excluding non-cash stock-based compensation as a % of management and member services revenue	20.6		%	21.7		%

The decrease in management and member services expense (excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation charges) as a percentage of management and member services revenue was primarily due to improved leverage of fixed costs over a higher revenue base.

Consolidated Resort Operations Expense. Consolidated resort operations expense decreased $5.8 million, or 63.5%, to $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $9.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to the St. Maarten Deconsolidation effective January 1, 2015, which eliminated the consolidated resort operations expense from these resorts from our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Vacation Interests Sales and Financing Segment

Vacation Interests Sales, Net. Vacation Interests sales, net increased $22.0 million, or 15.4%, to $165.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $143.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in Vacation Interests sales, net was attributable to a $27.3 million increase in Vacation Interests sales revenue, partially offset by a $5.3 million increase in our provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue.

The $27.3 million increase in Vacation Interests sales revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014 was generated by sales growth on a same-store basis from 48 sales centers primarily attributable to an increase in our volume per guest ("VPG," which represents Vacation Interests sales revenue divided by the number of tours). VPG increased by $423, or 16.1%, to $3,058 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $2,635 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as a result of a higher average sales price per transaction and a higher closing percentage (which represents the percentage of VOI sales transactions closed relative to the total number of tours at our sales centers during the period presented). The number of tours increased by 3,460, or 5.7%, to 64,380 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 60,920 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, due primarily to the expansion of our lead-generation and marketing programs. Our closing percentage increased to 14.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 13.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Our VOI sales transactions increased by 1,054, or 12.5%, to 9,489 during the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 8,435 transactions during the three months ended September 30, 2014, and VOI average sales price per transaction increased by $1,722, or 9.0%, to $20,750 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $19,028 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in

Table of Contents

average sales price per transaction and the higher closing percentage (and as a result, higher VPG) were due principally to the continued focus on selling larger point packages and the success of the hospitality-driven sales and marketing initiatives implemented in association with our belief in the power of vacations for happier and healthier living. Vacation Interests sales revenue generated at our North American and Caribbean sales centers is transacted in U.S. dollars and has historically accounted for more than 90% of our consolidated Vacation Interests sales revenue.

Provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue increased $5.3 million, or 33.1%, to $21.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $15.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was primarily due to higher gross Vacation Interest sales and a higher percentage of financed sales for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014; further, this increase was related to the change of certain portfolio statistics during the three months ended September 30, 2015. The allowance for uncollectible mortgages and contracts receivable as a percentage of gross mortgages and contracts receivable was 21.7% as of September 30, 2015, as compared to 21.4% as of September 30, 2014. The weighted average Fair Isaac Corporation ("FICO") credit scores of loans written during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were 748 and 749, respectively.

Interest Revenue. Interest revenue increased $3.1 million, or 18.3%, to $19.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $16.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was attributable to a $4.2 million increase resulting from a larger average outstanding balance in the mortgages and contracts receivable portfolio during the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was partially offset by (i) a decrease of $0.2 million attributable to a reduction in the weighted average interest rate on the portfolio; and (ii) an increase of $1.0 million associated with the amortization of deferred loan origination costs, which is recorded as a reduction to interest revenue. Amortization of deferred loan origination costs increased during the three months ended September 30, 2015 due to the increase in deferred loan origination costs during the last several years, primarily as a result of higher gross Vacation Interests sales and a higher percentage of sales financed.

Other Revenue. Other revenue increased $7.2 million, or 63.8%, to $18.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $11.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we received an aggregate of $3.6 million in installments from our insurance carrier under our business interruption insurance policy for business profits lost during the period that the Cabo Azul Resort remained closed as a result of the damage suffered in Hurricane Odile. In addition, non-cash incentives increased $2.2 million to $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Non-cash incentives as a percentage of gross Vacation Interests sales were 3.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to 2.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was principally due to a higher utilization of non-cash incentives by Vacation Interests purchasers. Furthermore, closing cost revenue increased as a result of higher Vacations Interests sales revenue.

Vacation Interests Cost of Sales. Vacation Interests cost of sales increased $25.3 million to $12.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from a credit of $13.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in Vacation Interests cost of sales was primarily due to: (i) a $3.0 million increase due to an increase in Vacation Interests sales revenue; and (ii) a $22.3 million net increase in cost of sales under the relative sales value method due to (a) the $23.9 million increase related to the net effect of the transition to one consolidated relative sales value model for all of the U.S. Collections, as described in Note 3 of the accompanying financial statements, as well as other changes in the sales price per point; (b) a $1.4 million decrease due to a proportionately larger increase in recovered inventory during the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014; (c) the remaining $0.2 million decrease is related to other changes in the relative sales value model, including an increase in the provision for uncollectible vacation Interests sales revenue, changes in sales incentives and other estimates. Vacation Interests cost of sales as a percentage of Vacation Interests sales, net increased to 7.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from a credit of 9.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Advertising, Sales and Marketing Expense. For comparison purposes, the following table presents advertising, sales and marketing expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 (in thousands), both on a U.S. GAAP basis and excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation, and such amounts as a percentage of gross Vacation Interests sales:

	Three Months Ended September 30,

Advertising, sales and marketing expense	$	94,876		$	82,308
Less: Non-cash stock-based compensation	(829		)	(537		)
Advertising, sales and marketing expense excluding non-cash stock-based compensation	$	94,047		$	81,771
Advertising, sales and marketing expense as a % of gross Vacation Interests sales	50.9		%	51.8		%
Advertising, sales and marketing expense excluding non-cash stock-based compensation as a % of gross Vacation Interests sales	50.5		%	51.4		%

The decrease in advertising, sales and marketing expense (excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation charges) as a percentage of gross Vacation Interests sales was primarily due to improved leverage of fixed costs through increased sales efficiencies.

Vacation Interests Carrying Cost, Net. Vacation Interests carrying cost, net increased $2.2 million, or 43.9%, to $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was primarily due to (i) higher operating expenses as a result of an increase in rental activity; and (ii) additional maintenance fees related to inventory that we own as well as inventory recovered pursuant to our inventory recovery agreements during the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was partially offset by an increase in rental revenue due to (a) more occupied room nights; (b) an increase in resort fees generated; and (c) an increase in the revenue recognized in connection with mini-vacation packages.

Loan Portfolio Expense. Loan portfolio expense remained consistent at $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Other Operating Expense. Other operating expense increased $2.0 million, or 34.2%, to $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Non-cash incentives increased $2.2 million to $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Non-cash incentives as a percentage of gross Vacation Interests sales were 3.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to 2.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was principally due to a higher utilization of non-cash incentives by Vacation Interests purchasers.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $0.2 million, or 7.0%, to $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to higher average outstanding balances under securitization notes and Funding Facilities during the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was partially offset by a lower weighted average interest rate as we paid down securitization notes and Funding Facilities bearing higher interest rates and replaced them with those bearing lower interest rates. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Overview” for the definition of Funding Facilities and "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Indebtedness” for further detail on the Funding Facilities.

Corporate and Other

General and Administrative Expense. For comparison purposes, the following table presents general and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 (in thousands), both on a U.S. GAAP basis and excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation, and such amounts as a percentage of total revenue:



	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2015			2014
General and administrative expense	$	28,372		$	26,747
Less: Non-cash stock-based compensation	(3,243		)	(2,282		)
General and administrative expense excluding non-cash stock-based compensation	$	25,129		$	24,465
General and administrative expense as a % of total revenue	11.3		%	12.1		%
General and administrative expense excluding non-cash stock-based compensation as a % of total revenue	10.0		%	11.0		%

The decrease in general and administrative expense (excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation charges) as a percentage of total revenue reflected the continued improved leverage of fixed costs over a higher revenue base.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased $0.3 million, or 2.9%, to $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $8.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $0.5 million, or 6.8%, to $7.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was mainly attributable to higher debt issuance amortization expense as a result of fees incurred related to new borrowings.

Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes was $27.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to $31.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease was due to a decrease in income before provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Due to current favorable tax law regarding recognition of income from Vacation Interests sales and use of net operating loss carry-forwards ("NOLs"), we expect our effective cash tax rate to be substantially lower than the statutory tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2015.

Consolidated Results

Total revenues increased $68.2 million, or 11.1%, to $680.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $612.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Total revenues in our hospitality and management services segment decreased by $9.6 million, or 6.4%, to $141.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $151.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Total revenues in our Vacation Interests sales and financing segment increased $78.0 million, or 17.0%, to $537.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $459.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Revenue in our corporate and other segment was $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and $1.2 million for the nine months September 30, 2014.

Total costs and expenses decreased $4.1 million, or 0.8%, to $508.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $512.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Total costs and expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 included a $12.3 million non-cash stock based compensation charge and a $7.8 million cash charge in connection with the termination of the services agreement between JHJM and HM&C. Total costs and expenses for the nine

months ended September 30, 2014 included a $12.2 million non-cash stock-based compensation charge, a $46.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt, of which $16.6 million was non-cash, and a $1.8 million benefit related to the renegotiation of our contract with Interval International. See "Management and Member Services Expense" below for further detail on the contract renegotiation with Interval International.

Hospitality and Management Services Segment

Management and Member Services Revenue. Total management and member services revenue increased $9.1 million, or 7.9%, to $124.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $115.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Management fees increased as a result of increases in operating costs at the resort level, which generated higher management fee revenue on a same-store basis from 107 cost-plus management agreements and the St. Maarten Deconsolidation. See "—Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 to the three Months ended September 30, 2014—Management and Member Services Revenue" for further detail on the St. Maarten Deconsolidation. Following the St. Maarten Deconsolidation, we recognized management fees with respect to such resorts of approximately $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Consolidated Resort Operations Revenue. Consolidated resort operations revenue decreased $17.5 million, or 60.7%, to $11.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $28.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease was primarily attributable to the St. Maarten Deconsolidation effective January 1, 2015, which eliminated the consolidated resort operations revenue from these resorts from our condensed consolidated financial statements. This decrease was partially offset by higher revenue from retail ticket sales operations and higher food and beverage revenues at certain restaurants that we own and manage.

Other Revenue. Other revenue decreased $1.3 million, or 16.9%, to $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease was primarily attributable to the reversal of a $1.1 million contingent liability associated with a previous business combination recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Management and Member Services Expense. For comparison purposes, the following table presents management and member services expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 (in thousands), both on a U.S. GAAP basis and excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation and the non-cash benefit related to the contract renegotiation with Interval International, and such amounts as a percentage of management member services revenue:



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2015			2014
Management and member services expense	$	25,310		$	23,377
Less: Non-cash stock-based compensation	(951		)	(1,314		)
Plus: Non-cash benefit related to the contract renegotiation	—			1,780

Management and member services expense as a % of management and member services revenue	20.4		%	20.3		%
Management and member services expense excluding non-cash stock-based compensation and benefit related to the contract renegotiation as a % of management and member services revenue	19.6		%	20.7		%

In April 2014, we renegotiated our contract with Interval International, which relieved us from our obligation to repay the unearned portion of a marketing allowance to Interval International under the original contract and resulted in the release of this deferred revenue to the statement of income and comprehensive income (loss) of $1.8 million as a reduction of exchange company costs for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in management and member services expense (excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation charges and the non-cash benefit) as a percentage of management and member services revenue was attributable to the improved leverage of fixed costs over a higher management and member services revenue base and lower call center expenses resulting from improved efficiencies as we continued to transition the call centers from a third-party provider to an in-house operation.

Consolidated Resort Operations Expense. Consolidated resort operations expense decreased $14.6 million, or 56.7%, to $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $25.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to the St. Maarten Deconsolidation effective January 1, 2015, which eliminated the consolidated resort operations expense from these resorts from our condensed consolidated financial statements. This decrease was partially offset by higher retail ticket sales expense as a result of higher ticket sales revenue.

Vacation Interests Sales and Financing Segment

Vacation Interests Sales, Net. Vacation Interests sales, net increased $59.0 million, or 15.6%, to $438.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $379.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in Vacation Interests sales, net was attributable to a $74.9 million increase in Vacation Interests sales revenues, partially offset by a $15.9 million increase in our provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue.

The $74.9 million increase in Vacation Interests sales revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was generated by sales growth on a same-store basis from 48 sales centers primarily attributable to an increase in our VPG. VPG increased by $523, or 20.3%, to $3,101 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $2,578 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as a result of a higher average sales price per transaction and a higher closing percentage. The number of tours remained flat at 165,772 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to 165,739 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Our closing percentage increased to 15.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from 14.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Our VOI sales transactions increased by 1,542, or 6.6%, to 24,809 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 23,267 transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and VOI average sales price per transaction increased by $2,357, or 12.8%, to $20,718 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $18,361 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in average sales price per transaction and the higher closing percentage (and as a result, higher VPG) were due principally to the continued focus on selling larger point packages and the success of the hospitality-driven sales and marketing initiatives implemented in association with our belief in the power of vacations for happier and healthier living. Vacation Interests sales revenue generated at our North American and Caribbean sales centers is transacted in U.S. dollars and has historically accounted for more than 90% of our consolidated Vacation Interests sales revenue.

Provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales increased $15.9 million, or 39.6%, to $56.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $40.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was primarily due to higher gross Vacation Interest sales and a higher percentage of financed sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014; further, this increase was related to the change of certain portfolio statistics during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. As of September 30, 2015, the allowance for mortgages and contracts receivable as a percentage of gross mortgages and contracts receivable was 21.7% as compared to 21.4% as of September 30, 2014. The weighted average FICO credit scores of loans written during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were 753 and 756, respectively.

Interest Revenue. Interest revenue increased $8.9 million, or 18.6%, to $56.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $47.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was attributable to a $12.9 million increase resulting from a larger average outstanding balance in the mortgages and contracts receivable portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was partially offset by (i) a decrease of $1.2 million attributable to a reduction in the weighted average interest rate on the portfolio; and (ii) an increase of $2.9 million associated with the amortization of deferred loan origination costs, which is recorded as a reduction to interest revenue. Amortization of deferred loan origination costs increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 due to the increase in deferred loan origination costs during the last several years, primarily as a result of higher gross Vacation Interests sales and a higher percentage of sales financed.

Other Revenue. Other revenue increased $10.2 million, or 31.1%, to $42.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $32.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we received an aggregate of $3.6 million in installments from our insurance carrier under our business interruption insurance policy for business profits lost during the period that the Cabo Azul Resort remained closed as a result of the damage suffered in Hurricane Odile. In addition, non-cash incentives increased $3.5 million to $17.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $13.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Non-cash incentives as a percentage of gross Vacation Interests sales increased to 3.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to 3.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Furthermore, closing cost revenue increased as a result of higher Vacations Interests sales revenue.

Vacation Interests Cost of Sales. Vacation Interests cost of sales increased $10.1 million to $25.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $15.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in Vacation Interests cost of sales was primarily due to: (i) a $7.9 million increase due to an increase in Vacation Interests sales revenue; and (ii) a $2.2 million net increase in cost of sales under the relative sales value method due to (a) the $25.3 million increase related to the net effect of the transition to one consolidated relative sales value model for all of the U.S. Collections, as described in Note 3 of the accompanying financial statements, as well as other changes in the sales price per point; (b) a $22.5 million decrease due to a proportionately larger increase in recovered inventory during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014; and (c) a decrease of $0.6 million related to other changes in the relative sales value model, including an increase in the provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue, changes

in sales incentives and other estimates. Vacation Interests cost of sales as a percentage of gross Vacation Interests sales, net increased to 5.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from 4.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Advertising, Sales and Marketing Expense. For comparison purposes, the following table presents advertising, sales and marketing expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 (in thousands), both on a U.S. GAAP basis and excluding non-cash stock-based compensation, and such amounts as a percentage of gross Vacation Interests sales:

Advertising, sales and marketing expense excluding non-cash stock-based compensation as a % of gross Vacation Interests sales	49.9		%	50.7		%

Vacation Interests Carrying Cost, Net. Vacation Interests carrying cost, net increased $7.4 million, or 37.5%, to $27.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $19.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was primarily due to (i) higher operating expenses as a result of a rise in rental activity; and (ii) additional maintenance fee expense related to inventory that we own as well as inventory recovered pursuant to our inventory recovery agreements during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was partially offset by an increase in rental revenue due to (a) more occupied room nights and higher average daily rates; (b) an increase in resort fees generated; and (c) an increase in the average price of sampler packages sold, as a result of our continued focus on selling higher priced sampler packages.

Loan Portfolio Expense. Loan portfolio expense decreased $0.2 million, or 2.7%, to $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Other Operating Expense. Other operating expense increased $3.5 million, or 21.3%, to $20.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $16.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Non-cash incentives increased $3.5 million to $17.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $13.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Non-cash incentives as a percentage of gross Vacation Interests sales remained consistent at 3.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to 3.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $1.5 million, or 13.6%, to $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $10.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to higher average outstanding balances under securitization notes and Funding Facilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was partially offset by a lower weighted average interest rate as we paid down securitization notes and Funding Facilities bearing higher interest rates and replaced them with those bearing lower interest rates.

Corporate and Other

General and Administrative Expense. For comparison purposes, the following table presents general and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 (in thousands), both on a U.S. GAAP basis and excluding non-cash stock-based compensation and the cash charge in connection with the termination of the services agreement between JHJM and HM&C, and such amounts as a percentage of total revenue:

General and administrative expense	$	84,159		$	74,203
Less: Non-cash stock-based compensation	(9,123		)	(8,530		)
Less: Charge related to the termination of the service agreement	(7,830		)	—

General and administrative expense excluding non-cash stock-based compensation and charge related to the contract termination as a % of total revenue	9.9		%	10.7		%

General and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 also included approximately $0.9 million in expenses related to the secondary offering of shares of our common stock by certain selling stockholders consummated in March 2015 (the "March 2015 Secondary Offering"). See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Overview” for further detail on the March 2015 Secondary Offering. The decrease in general and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue (excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation charges and charge relating to the termination of the service agreement) reflected the continued improved leverage of fixed costs over a higher revenue base.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.5 million, or 2.1%, to $25.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $24.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was primarily attributable to the addition of depreciable assets such as (i) information technology related projects and equipment; (ii) renovation projects at certain sales centers; and (iii) the acquisition of intangible assets in connection with the Master Agreement that we entered into in January 2015.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $11.6 million, or 33.5%, to $22.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $34.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Cash and non-cash interest expense relating to our 12.0% senior secured notes due 2018 (the "Senior Secured Notes") were $21.0 million lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due to the redemption of the Senior Secured Notes on June 9, 2014. This decrease was partially offset by $8.8 million increase in cash and non-cash interest expense relating to the $470.0 million senior secured credit facility (the "Senior Credit Facility"), which we closed on May 9, 2014.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt was $46.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. We did not record any loss on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

On May 9, 2014, we terminated our previous revolving credit facility in conjunction with our entry into the Senior Credit Facility and recorded a $0.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to unamortized debt issuance costs.

In addition, on May 9, 2014, we repaid all outstanding indebtedness under three inventory loans (previously entered into in connection with various business combinations) using a portion of the proceeds from the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility. Unamortized debt issuance cost on these inventory loans of $0.1 million was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt.

On June 9, 2014, we redeemed the remaining outstanding principal amount under the Senior Secured Notes by using proceeds from the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility. As a result, $30.2 million of redemption premium, $9.4 million of unamortized debt issuance cost and $6.1 million of unamortized debt discount were recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt.

Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes was $72.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to $43.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was due to an increase in income before provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We had $340.1 million and $255.0 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been cash from operations and the financings discussed below.

Historically, our business has depended on the availability of credit to finance the consumer loans we have provided to our customers for the purchase of their VOIs. Typically, these loans have required a minimum cash down payment of 10% of the purchase price at the time of sale; however, selling, marketing and administrative expenses attributable to VOI sales are primarily cash expenses and often exceed the buyer's minimum down payment requirement. Accordingly, the availability of financing facilities for the sale or pledge of these receivables to generate liquidity is a critical factor in our ability to meet our short-term and long-term cash needs. We have historically relied upon our ability to sell receivables in the securitization market in order to generate liquidity and create capacity on our $200.0 million conduit facility that was most recently amended on July 1, 2015 (the "Conduit Facility") and our $100.0 million loan sale facility with Quorum Federal Credit Union (the "Quorum Facility") (collectively, the “Funding Facilities”). See "—Indebtedness" for further detail on the Conduit Facility and the Quorum Facility.

The terms of the consumer loans we seek to finance are generally longer than the Funding Facilities through which we seek to finance such loans. While the term of our consumer loans is typically ten years, the Funding Facilities typically have a term of less than three years. Although we seek to refinance conduit borrowings in the term securitization markets, we generally access the term securitization markets on at least an annual basis, and rely on the Funding Facilities to provide incremental liquidity between securitization transactions. Thus, we are required to refinance the Funding Facilities every one to two years in order to provide adequate liquidity for our consumer finance business.

Between January 1, 2013 and the filing date of this quarterly report, we completed five securitization transactions with a total face value of $779.6 million. The most recent of these securitization transactions, which we completed on July 29, 2015, involved the issuance of $170.0 million of investment-grade rated securities, consisting of two tranches of vacation ownership loan backed-notes (collectively, the "DROT 2015-1 Notes"). See "—Indebtedness" for further detail on the DROT 2015-1 Notes.

Although we completed these securitization and Funding Facilities transactions, we may not be successful in completing similar transactions in the future. We require access to the capital markets in order to fund our operations and may, in the implementation of our growth strategy, become more reliant on third-party financing. If we are unable to continue to participate in securitization transactions or renew and/or replace our Funding Facilities on acceptable terms, our liquidity and cash flows would be materially and adversely affected. On July 29, 2015, following the payoff of the then-outstanding balance under the Conduit Facility using the proceeds from the issuance of the DROT 2015-1 Notes, the maximum funding availability under the Conduit Facility was $200.0 million. As of September 30, 2015, the maximum funding availability under the Quorum Facility and the Conduit Facility was $66.4 million and $92.3 million, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we used cash of $21.9 million and $16.1 million, respectively, for (i) acquisitions of VOI inventory pursuant to inventory recovery agreements and in open market and bulk VOI inventory purchases; (ii) capitalized legal, title and trust fees related to the recovery of inventory; and (iii) construction of VOI inventory. Of these total cash amounts, $5.1 million and $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, were used for the construction of VOI inventory, primarily related to construction of units at the Cabo Azul Resort in Mexico.

In addition, we had increases in unsold Vacation Interests, net that did not have an impact on our working capital during the three month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Specifically, we capitalized $3.2 million and $1.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to inventory recovery agreements in the U.S., offset by an equal increase in due to related parties, net. Cash will be used in future periods to settle these amounts. See "Note 7—Transactions with Related Parties" elsewhere in this quarterly report for further detail on inventory recovery agreements. In addition, we transferred $0.3 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, from due from related parties, net to unsold Vacation Interests, net, as a result of our recovery of VOI inventory pursuant to inventory recovery arrangements in Europe. Cash was used in prior periods when these amounts were recorded to due from related parties, net. Furthermore, we transferred $10.3 million and $1.1 million from mortgages and contracts receivable, net to unsold Vacation Interests, net during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, as a result of our recovery of underlying VOI inventory due to loan defaults.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we used cash of $57.4 million and $39.3 million, respectively, for (i) acquisitions of VOI inventory pursuant to inventory recovery agreements and in open market and bulk VOI inventory purchases; (ii) capitalized legal, title and trust fees related to the recovery of inventory; and (iii) construction of VOI

inventory. Of these total cash amounts, $12.9 million and $0.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, were used for the construction of VOI inventory, primarily related to construction of units at the Cabo Azul Resort.

In addition, we had increases in unsold Vacation Interests, net that did not have an impact on our working capital during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Specifically, we capitalized $21.4 million and $19.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to inventory recovery agreements in the U.S., offset by an equal increase in due to related parties, net. Cash will be used in future periods to settle these amounts. In addition, we transferred $3.4 million and $3.2 million during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, from due from related parties, net to unsold Vacation Interests, net, as a result of our recovery of VOI inventory pursuant to inventory recovery arrangements in Europe. Cash was used in prior periods when these amounts were recorded to due from related parties, net. Furthermore, we transferred $12.5 million and $2.0 million from mortgages and contracts receivable, net to unsold Vacation Interests, net during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, as a result of our recovery of underlying VOI inventory due to loan defaults.

On October 28, 2014, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program allowing for the expenditure of up to $100.0 million for the repurchase of our common stock (the "Stock Repurchase Program"). Under the Stock Repurchase Program, repurchases may be made from time to time in accordance with applicable securities laws in the open market and/or in privately negotiated transactions, including repurchases pursuant to trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

On July 28, 2015, our board of directors authorized the expenditure of up to an additional $100.0 million for the repurchase of our common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program. With the new authorization, approximately $101.9 million was available as of September 30, 2015 under the Stock Repurchase Program. The expanded repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any additional shares of common stock or impose any particular timetable for repurchases, and the program may be suspended or modified at any time at our discretion. The timing and amount of any stock repurchases will be determined by management based on its evaluation of market conditions, the trading price of the stock, potential alternative uses of cash resources, applicable legal requirements, compliance with the provisions of our credit agreement, and other factors.

In March 2015, in connection with the March 2015 Secondary Offering, certain selling stockholders sold an aggregate of 7,502,316 shares of our common stock. We did not sell any stock in the March 2015 Secondary Offering and did not receive any proceeds from it. We purchased from the underwriter 1,515,582 of the shares sold by the selling stockholders in the offering at $32.99 per share (the same price per share at which the underwriter purchased shares from the selling stockholders), for a total purchase price of $50.0 million.

The following table summarizes stock repurchase activity under the Stock Repurchase Program (cost in thousands):



	Shares		Cost		Average Price Per Share
From inception through December 31, 2014	642,900		$	16,077	$	25.01
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015(a)	2,595,955		82,046		31.61
Total from inception through September 30, 2015(a)	3,238,855	(b)	$	98,123	$	30.30

(a) Includes the purchase of 1,515,582 shares from the underwriter for $50.0 million in the March 2015 Secondary Offering at a price of $32.99 per share.

(b) Shares of our common stock repurchased by us pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Program. As of September 30, 2015, 2,925,092 of the repurchased shares previously held in treasury have been retired.

The Senior Credit Facility limits our ability to make restricted payments, including the payment of dividends or expenditures for stock repurchases. As of September 30, 2015, the available basket for restricted payments, including purchases under our Stock Repurchase Program, was approximately $81.8 million, subject to change based on our future financial performance.

Between October 1, 2015 and November 2, 2015, we used $27.0 million of cash to repurchase shares of our common stock. As of November 2, 2015, approximately $75.0 million was available for expenditure under the Stock Repurchase Program.

In September 2014, Hurricane Odile, a category 4 hurricane, inflicted widespread damage on the Baja California peninsula, particularly in the state of Baja California Sur, in which the Cabo Azul Resort, one of our managed resorts, is located. Hurricane Odile caused significant damage to the buildings as well as the facilities and amenities at the Cabo Azul Resort, including unsold Vacation Interests and property and equipment owned by us; however, we believe we have sufficient

Table of Contents

property insurance coverage so that damage caused by Hurricane Odile on our unsold Vacation Interests, net and property and equipment, net will not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations related to these assets.

During the nine months ended September 2015, we received $5.0 million in proceeds from our insurance carrier for property damage resulting from Hurricane Odile. These proceeds are classified as cash flow from operating activities in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 due to the fact that these proceeds covered damage caused to our unsold Vacation Interests, which is an income-generating operating activity.

In addition, we have filed a claim under our business interruption insurance policy for business profits lost during the period that the Cabo Azul Resort remained closed as a result of the damage suffered in Hurricane Odile. During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, we received an aggregate of $3.6 million in installments from our insurance carrier related to such claim, which was recognized as other revenue in the condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income (loss) and classified as cash flow from operating activities in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. In addition, in October 2015, we received an aggregate of $2.1 million in installments related to such claim. The total claim remains under negotiation with the insurance carrier and any further payments will also be recorded in the periods in which they are received. The Cabo Azul Resort and the on-site sales center reopened on September 1, 2015.

Cash Flow From Operating Activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, net cash provided by operating activities was $133.5 million and was the result of net income of $99.8 million and non-cash items totaling $140.5 million, partially offset by other changes in operating assets and liabilities that resulted in a net credit of $106.9 million. The significant non-cash items included (i) $56.0 million in the provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue; (ii) $32.7 million in deferred income taxes, primarily as a result of the provision for income taxes recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2015; (iii) $25.1 million in depreciation and amortization; (iv) $12.3 million in stock-based compensation expense; (v) $9.5 million in amortization of loan origination costs and net portfolio premiums; (vi) $4.5 million in amortization of capitalized financing costs and original issue discounts; (vii) $0.7 million in loss of foreign currency exchange; and (viii) $0.6 million in unrealized loss on derivative instruments; partially offset by $0.4 million in gain on mortgage repurchases.

The significant non-cash items and non-cash and cash loss on extinguishment of debt included (i) $46.8 million of loss on extinguishment of debt (which includes $30.2 million of redemption premium paid in cash and $16.6 million of non-cash write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discount); (ii) $40.1 million in the provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue; (iii) $24.6 million in depreciation and amortization; (iv) $41.5 million in deferred income taxes, primarily as a result of provision for income taxes recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2014; (v) $12.2 million in stock-based compensation expense; (vi) $6.6 million in amortization of net portfolio discounts; (vii) $4.1 million in amortization of capitalized financing costs and original issue discounts; and (viii) $0.1 million in loss of foreign currency exchange; partially offset by $0.5 million in gain on mortgage repurchases.

Cash Flow From Investing Activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, net cash used in investing activities was $28.7 million, consisting of (i) $18.5 million used to purchase property and equipment, primarily associated with information technology related projects and equipment and renovation projects at certain sales centers; (ii) $9.0 million used to purchase intangible assets, primarily associated with the acquisition of intangible assets pursuant to the Master Agreement; and (iii) $1.5 million used in connection with our investment in our joint venture in Asia; partially offset by $0.2 million in proceeds from the sale of assets in our European operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net cash used in investing activities was $13.6 million, consisting of $13.9 million used to purchase property and equipment, primarily associated with information technology related projects and equipment and renovation projects at certain sales centers, partially offset by $0.3 million in proceeds from the sale of assets in our European operations.

(1) Non-recourse indebtedness
(2) Borrowing / funding availability is calculated as the difference between the maximum commitment amount and the outstanding principal balance; however, the actual availability is dependent on the amount of eligible loans that serve as the collateral for such borrowings.

Senior Credit Facility. On May 9, 2014, we and Diamond Resorts Corporation ("DRC") entered into a credit agreement (the "Senior Credit Facility Agreement") with Credit Suisse AG, acting as the administrative agent and the collateral agent for various lenders. The Senior Credit Facility Agreement provides for a $470.0 million Senior Credit Facility (including a $445.0 million term loan, issued with 0.50% of original issue discount and having a term of seven years and a $25.0 million revolving line of credit having a term of five years). Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 450 basis points, with a one percent LIBOR floor applicable only to the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility, or an alternate base rate plus 350 basis points. Other significant terms of the Senior Credit Facility include: (i) one percent minimum annual amortization due in quarterly payments of $1.1 million; (ii) an excess cash flow sweep (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility Agreement) that varies depending on our secured leverage ratio (which represents the ratio of (1) secured total debt to (2) Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters for which financial statements have been delivered); (iii) a soft call provision of 1.01 for the first 15 months of the Senior Credit Facility, which expired on August 9, 2015; (iv) no ongoing maintenance financial covenants for the term loan, and a financial covenant calculation required on the revolving line of credit if outstanding loans under the revolving line of credit exceed 25%

Table of Contents

of the commitment amount as of the last day of any fiscal quarter; (v) a non-committed incremental $150.0 million facility available for borrowing, plus additional amounts greater than $150.0 million, subject in the case of such additional amount subject to meeting a required secured leverage ratio; and (vi) our ability to make restricted payments, including the payment of dividends or share repurchases, up to an aggregate of $25.0 million over the term of the loan (less certain investment and other debt amounts specified under the Senior Credit Facility Agreement), plus the remaining portion of the cash flow that is not used to amortize debt pursuant to the excess cash flow provision described above.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the excess cash flow sweep (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility Agreement) was $30.3 million; however, certain lenders declined this repayment, which resulted in an $18.1 million principal reduction on the Senior Credit Facility on March 5, 2015. Commensurate with this principal reduction payment, the minimum quarterly payment of $1.1 million described above will not be required until the quarter ending March 31, 2017 in accordance with the Senior Credit Facility Agreement; however, this date is subject to change depending upon future excess cash flow sweeps.

The Senior Credit Facility Agreement contains customary negative covenants, including covenants that limit our ability to: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) create liens; (iii) enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions; (iv) make certain investments; (v) merge or consolidate or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of DRII, DRC and their restricted subsidiaries; (vi) engage in transactions with affiliates; and (vii) pay dividends or make other equity distributions and purchase or redeem capital stock, subject to specified exceptions, including as described above. The restrictions on our incurrence of indebtedness and our ability to pay dividends and repurchase stock are based upon our compliance with the then-applicable secured leverage ratio and total leverage ratio. The Senior Credit Facility Agreement also contains customary default provisions. The borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility are secured on a senior basis by substantially all of our assets.

As indicated above, covenants in the Senior Credit Facility Agreement requiring us to prepay outstanding amounts under the term loan using a portion of our excess cash flow, and covenants limiting our ability to incur indebtedness, to make certain investments and to pay dividends or make other equity distributions and purchase or redeem capital stock and the financial covenant compliance that is triggered by having more than 25% of the revolving credit commitment outstanding at the end of any quarter, are determined by reference to Adjusted EBITDA for us and our restricted subsidiaries. Covenants included in the Notes Indenture that governed the Senior Secured Notes were similarly determined by reference to Adjusted EBITDA for us and our restricted subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2015, all of our subsidiaries were designated as restricted subsidiaries, as defined in the Senior Credit Facility Agreement.

Adjusted EBITDA for us and our restricted subsidiaries is derived from our Adjusted EBITDA, which we calculate in accordance with the Senior Credit Facility Agreement as our net income (loss), plus: (i) corporate interest expense; (ii) provision (benefit) for income taxes; (iii) depreciation and amortization; (iv) Vacation Interests cost of sales; (v) loss on extinguishment of debt; (vi) impairments and other non-cash write-offs; (vii) loss on the disposal of assets; (viii) amortization of loan origination costs; (ix) amortization of net portfolio premiums; and (x) stock-based compensation expense; less (a) gain on the disposal of assets; (b) gain on bargain purchase from business combination; and (c) amortization of net portfolio discounts. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities or any other measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance, in any such case calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Provided below is additional information regarding the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of the Senior Credit Facility Agreement.

Corporate interest expense is added back because interest expense is a function of outstanding indebtedness, not operations, and can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Accordingly, corporate interest expense can vary greatly from company to company and across periods for the same company; however, in calculating Adjusted EBITDA, interest expense related to lines of credit secured by the mortgages and contracts receivable generated in the normal course of selling Vacation Interests is not added back to net income (loss) because this borrowing is necessary to support our Vacation Interests sales and finance business.

Loss on extinguishment of debt includes the effect of write-offs of capitalized debt issuance costs and original issue discounts due to payoff or substantial modifications of the terms of our indebtedness. While the amounts booked by us with respect to these events include both cash and non-cash items, the entire amounts are related to financing events, and not our ongoing operations. Accordingly, these amounts are treated similarly to corporate interest expense and are added back to net income in our Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

Vacation Interests cost of sales is excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA calculation because the method by which we are required to record Vacation Interests cost of sales pursuant to ASC 978 (a method designed for companies that, unlike us, engage in significant timeshare development activity) includes various projections and estimates, which are subject to significant uncertainty. Because of the cumulative “true-up” adjustment required by this method, as discussed below, this method can cause major swings in our reported operating income.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to ASC 978, if we review our projections and determine that our estimated Vacation Interests cost of sales was higher (or lower) than our actual Vacation Interests cost of sales for the prior life of the project (which, for us, goes back to our acquisition of Sunterra Corporation in 2007), we apply the higher (or lower) Vacation Interests cost of sales retroactively. In such a case, our Vacation Interests cost of sales for the current period will be increased (or reduced) by the entire aggregate amount by which we underestimated (or overestimated) Vacation Interests cost of sales over such period (reflecting a cumulative adjustment extending back to the beginning of the project recorded in the current period). For additional information regarding how we record Vacation Interests cost of sales, see “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates—Vacation Interests Cost of Sales” in the 2014 Form 10-K.

Vacation Interests sales do not accrue until collectability is reasonably assured, and is not subject to cumulative adjustments similar to those required in determining Vacation Interests cost of sales pursuant to ASC 978. As a result, Vacation Interests sales is included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, even though Vacation Interests cost of sales is excluded from such calculation.

Stock-based compensation expense is excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA calculation because it represents a non-cash item. We calculate our stock-based compensation expense utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model that is dependent on management's estimate on the expected volatility, the average expected option life, the risk-free interest rate, the expected annual dividend per share and the annual forfeiture rate. A small change in any of the estimates could have a material impact on the stock-based compensation expense. Accordingly, stock-based compensation can vary greatly from company to company and across periods for the same company.

In addition to covenants contained in the Senior Credit Facility Agreement, financial covenants governing the Conduit Facility and the $31.0 million Diamond Resorts Tempus Owner Trust 2013 Notes issued on September 20, 2013 are determined by reference to measures calculated in a manner similar to the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA is not only used for purposes of determining compliance with covenants in our debt-related agreements, but our management also uses our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA: (i) for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget; (ii) to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; (iii) to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies; and (iv) as a factor for determining compensation for certain personnel.

However, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool because, among other things:


•	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures;


•	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;


•	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for income taxes;


•	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense for our corporate indebtedness;


•	although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized will often have to be replaced, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for these replacements;


•	we make expenditures to replenish VOI inventory (principally pursuant to our inventory recovery agreements), and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash requirements for these expenditures or certain costs of carrying such inventory (which are capitalized); and


•	other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

We encourage investors and securities analysts to review our U.S. GAAP condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, and investors and securities analysts should not rely solely or primarily on Adjusted EBITDA or any other single financial measure to evaluate our liquidity or financial performance.

The following tables present Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated in accordance with, and for purposes of covenants contained in, the Senior Credit Facility Agreement, reconciled to each of (1) our net cash provided by operating activities and (2) our net income. The tables below present this reconciliation on an actual basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and for the 12 months ended September 30, 2015 ("LTM"). LTM is calculated by adding the applicable financial data for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to the corresponding amount for the year ended December 31, 2014, and then subtracting the corresponding amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. LTM Adjusted EBITDA is presented because, as discussed above, certain covenants in the Senior Credit Facility Agreement are based upon Adjusted EBITDA for us and our restricted subsidiaries for the four most recently ended fiscal quarters. Certain of the line items in the tables below have been restated for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 (see Note 3 and "Note 1—Background, Business and Basis of Presentation" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly

(h)

We record Vacation Interests cost of sales using the relative sales value method in accordance with ASC 978, which requires us to make significant estimates which are subject to significant uncertainty. In determining the appropriate amount of costs using the relative sales value method, we rely on complex, multi-year financial models that incorporate a variety of estimated inputs. These models are reviewed on a regular basis, and the relevant estimates used in the models are revised based upon historical results and management's new estimates. In addition, see Note 3 for detailed financial information with respect to the Restatement.

Conduit Facility. Our amended and restated Conduit Facility agreement provides for a $200.0 million facility with a maturity date of April 10, 2017. Upon maturity, the Conduit Facility is renewable for 364-day periods at the election of the lenders. The overall advance rate on loans receivable in the portfolio is limited to 88% of the aggregate face value of the eligible loans. The Conduit Facility originally bore interest at either LIBOR or the commercial paper rate (having a floor of 0.50%) plus a usage-fee rate of 2.75%, and had a non-usage fee of 0.75%. In connection with the amendment to the Conduit Facility agreement that was entered into on June 26, 2015 (the "June 2015 Amendment"), the usage-fee rate was reduced to 2.25%. The June 2015 Amendment also provides, among other things, (i) that, at any time the outstanding note balance has been reduced to zero in connection with the delivery of a prepayment notice, the first borrowing thereafter must include a minimum of 250 timeshare loans; and (ii) for the inclusion of timeshare loans that have been executed through the utilization of electronic signature and electronic vaulting and management services.

On July 1, 2015, the Conduit Facility agreement was further amended (the "July 2015 Amendment") to require a $0.4 million reserve payment against the derivative instruments associated with the Conduit Facility. This reserve payment was to be released upon the completion of a securitization or other financing of the assets in which at least 75% of the outstanding note balance under the Conduit Facility was repaid using the proceeds from such securitization or other financing. On July 29, 2015, we completed a securitization involving the issuance of the DROT 2015-1 Notes. The proceeds from the DROT 2015-1 Notes were used to repay in full the then-outstanding balance and accrued interest under the Conduit Facility with the remaining proceeds transferred to us for general corporate use, and the reserve payment was released and refunded to us. See “—Indebtedness—Securitization Notes" for further detail on the DROT 2015-1 Notes.

On October 1, 2015, as required by the Conduit Facility, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement effective September 30, 2015, with a notional amount of $97.0 million (the "September 2015 Swap") that is scheduled to mature on September 20, 2025, to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. We pay interest at a fixed rate of 2.45% based on a floating notional amount according to a pre-determined amortization schedule and receive interest based on one-month

floating LIBOR. The September 2015 Swap did not qualify for hedge accounting. See "Note 4—Concentrations of Risk" of our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report and "Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" below for further detail on our derivative instruments.

The Conduit Facility is subject to covenants, including as to the maintenance of specific financial ratios. The financial ratio covenants consist of a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of at least 1.5 to 1.0 as of the measurement date and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio not to exceed 5.0 to 1.0 on each measurement date. The consolidated 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 are measured on a trailing 12-month basis preceding the measurement date. As of September 30, 2015, our interest coverage ratio was 15.89x. The consolidated leverage ratio is calculated by dividing Total Funded Debt (as defined in the credit agreement) minus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of the measurement date by Consolidated EBITDA as measured on a trailing 12-month basis preceding the measurement date. As of September 30, 2015, our consolidated leverage ratio was 0.29x. Covenants in the Conduit Facility also include a minimum liquidity requirement. The total liquidity covenant stipulates that our aggregate unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of the measurement date must exceed $10.0 million through April 10, 2017. As of September 30, 2015, our aggregate unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the restricted subsidiaries was $326.6 million, which was $316.6 million higher than the minimum requirement. As of September 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all of these covenants.

Securitization Notes. On July 29, 2015, we completed a securitization involving the issuance of the DROT 2015-1 Notes. The interest rates for the $158.5 million Class A tranche notes and the $11.5 million Class B tranche notes are 2.7% and 3.2%, respectively. The overall weighted average interest rate is 2.8%. The advance rate for this transaction is 96.0%. The proceeds from the DROT 2015-1 Notes were used to repay all of the then-outstanding balance plus accrued interest under the Conduit Facility, as well as to pay debt issuance cost related to the DROT 2015-1 Notes with the remaining proceeds transferred to us for general corporate use.

Quorum Facility. On September 30, 2015, pursuant to a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Sale and Servicing Agreement, we amended the Quorum Facility to increase the aggregate minimum committed amount from $80.0 million to $100.0 million and to extend the term of the agreement to December 31, 2017, provided that Quorum Federal Credit Union may further extend the term for additional periods by written notice. As of September 30, 2015, the weighted average advance rate under the Quorum Facility was 83.6% and the weighted average program purchase fee was 5.6%.

Notes Payable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we issued two unsecured notes to finance premiums on certain insurance policies. Both unsecured notes are scheduled to mature in January 2016 and carry an interest rate of 2.7% per annum.

Future Capital Requirements. Over the next 12 months, we expect that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and the borrowings under the Funding Facilities and the Senior Credit Facility will be sufficient to cover the interest payments due under our indebtedness and fund our operating expenses and other obligations, including any purchases of common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program. See "—Overview" for further detail on the Stock Repurchase Program.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the growth of our consumer financing activities, the expansion of our hospitality management operations and potential acquisitions. On July 28, 2015, we entered into an agreement for the purchase and sale of property (the “Kona Agreement”) with Hawaii Funding LLC (the “Kona Seller”), an affiliate of Och-Ziff Real Estate. The Kona Agreement relates to the development by the Kona Seller of a new resort, which is expected to consist of 144 units, on property located in Kona, Hawaii to be acquired by the Kona Seller. Pursuant to the Kona Agreement, we have agreed to purchase all of the units, subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions. The Kona Seller’s delivery of the units to us, which is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2017 and continue through mid-2018, is subject to various conditions precedent and rights of the parties. We do not anticipate any significant cash outlays related to the Agreement until 2017.

Our ability to secure short-term and long-term financing in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including our future profitability, the performance of our consumer loan receivable portfolio, our relative levels of debt and equity and the overall condition of the credit and securitization markets. There can be no assurances that any such financing will be available to us. If we are unable to secure short-term and long-term financing in the future or if cash flows from operations are less than expected, our liquidity and cash flows would be materially and adversely affected, we may be required to curtail our sales and marketing operations and we may not be able to implement our growth strategy.

Deferred Taxes. As of December 31, 2014, we had available approximately $274.6 million of unused federal NOLs, $270.4 million of unused state NOLs, and $102.0 million of foreign NOLs with expiration dates from 2026 through 2033 (except for certain foreign NOLs that do not expire) that may be applied against future taxable income, subject to certain limitations.

Table of Contents

As a result of our initial public offering completed in July 2013 (the "IPO") and the resulting change in ownership, our federal NOLs are limited under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and state NOLs are subject to similar limitations in many cases. Due to current favorable tax law regarding recognition of income from Vacation Interests sales and use of NOLs, we expect our effective cash tax rate to be substantially lower than the statutory tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2015.

Commitments and Contingencies. From time to time, we or our subsidiaries are subject to certain legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. See also “Part I. Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in the 2014 Form 10-K for further detail.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. As of September 30, 2015, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements (as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K).

Contractual Obligations. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Contractual Obligations" in the 2014 Form 10-K for a summary of our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2014. There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of our business in contractual obligations from December 31, 2014 through September 30, 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

The discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue, bad debts and income taxes. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of our analysis form the basis for making assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and the impact of such differences may be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical accounting policies are those policies that, in management's view, are most important in the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. The methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that we report in our financial statements. These critical accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. For further detail of those Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates that require significant judgment, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition—Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates" in the 2014 Form 10-K.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes most of the current revenue recognition requirements ("ASU No. 2014-09"). The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity is required to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. New disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers are also required. Entities must adopt the new guidance using one of two retrospective application methods. We will adopt ASU No. 2014-09 as of our quarter ending March 31, 2018. We are currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items ("ASU No. 2015-01"), which eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Extraordinary items are events and transactions that are distinguished by their unusual nature and by the infrequency of their occurrence. ASU No. 2015-01 simplifies income statement presentation by altogether removing the concept of extraordinary items from consideration. ASU No. 2015-01 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We will adopt ASU No. 2015-01 as of our quarter ending March 31, 2016. We believe that the adoption of this update will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (“ASU No. 2015-02”), which is intended to respond to stakeholders’ concerns about the current accounting guidance for certain legal entities. The amendments update the analysis of consolidation for limited partnerships, contractual fee arrangements and investment funds, as well as include additional guidance on the effect of related parties. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-02 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-02 may be applied retrospectively or using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We will adopt ASU No. 2015-02 as of our quarter ending March 31, 2016. We are currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of its adoption on our financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest ("ASU No. 2015-03"), which is intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-03 require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in ASU No. 2015-03. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We will adopt ASU No. 2015-03 as of our quarter ending March 31, 2016. We believe that the adoption of this update will result in a reclassification between assets and liabilities but will have no other impact on our financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software ("ASU No. 2015-05"), which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license and, if so, how the software license element of the arrangement should be accounted for by the customer. ASU No. 2015-05 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We will adopt

Table of Contents

ASU No. 2015-05 as of our quarter ending March 31, 2016. We believe that the adoption of this update will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations - Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments ("ASU No. 2015-16"), which requires that an acquirer in a business combination recognize adjustments to estimated amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. It requires that the acquirer record, in the current period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the estimated amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. ASU No. 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-16 should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. We will adopt ASU No. 2015-16 as of our quarter ending March 31, 2016. We believe that the adoption of this update will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Inflation. Inflation and changing prices have not had a material impact on our revenues, income (loss) from operations, and net income (loss) during any of our three most recent fiscal years; however, to the extent inflationary trends affect short-term interest rates, a portion of our debt service costs, as well as the rates we charge on our consumer loans, may be affected.

Interest Rate Risk. We are exposed to interest rate risk through our variable rate indebtedness, including the Conduit Facility and the Senior Credit Facility. We have attempted to manage our interest rate risk through the use of derivative financial instruments. For example, we are generally required to hedge 90% of the outstanding note balance under the Conduit Facility. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes and do not enter into derivative transactions that would be considered speculative positions. To manage exposure to counterparty credit risk in interest rate swap and cap agreements, we enter into agreements with highly rated institutions that can be expected to fully perform under the terms of such agreements. At September 30, 2015, our derivative financial instruments consisted of an interest rate swap agreement, which did not qualify for hedge accounting. Interest differentials resulting from these agreements are recorded on an accrual basis as an adjustment to interest expense.

To the extent we assume variable rate indebtedness in the future, any increase in interest rates beyond amounts covered under any corresponding derivative financial instruments, particularly if sustained, could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position. We cannot assure that any hedging transactions we enter into will adequately mitigate the adverse effects of interest rate increases or that counterparties in those transactions will honor their obligations.

Additionally, we derive net interest income from our consumer financing activities to the extent the interest rates we charge our customers who finance their purchases of VOIs exceed the variable interest rates we pay to our lenders. Because our mortgages and contracts receivable generally bear interest at fixed rates, future increases in interest rates may result in a decline in our net interest income.

As of September 30, 2015, 51.8% of our borrowings, or $532.4 million, bore interest at variable rates. However, all of our variable-rate borrowings require a minimum interest rate floor when LIBOR is below certain levels. Assuming the level of variable-rate borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2015, and assuming a one percentage point increase in the 2015 average interest rate payable on these borrowings, we estimate that our interest expense would have increased and pre-tax income would have decreased by approximately $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Foreign Currency Translation Risk. In addition to our operations throughout the U.S., we conduct operations in international markets from which we receive, at least in part, revenues in foreign currencies. For example, we receive Euros and British Pounds Sterling in connection with operations in our European managed resorts and European VOI sales and Mexican Pesos in connection with our operations in Mexico. Because our financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, fluctuations in the value of the Euro, British Pound Sterling and Mexican Peso against the U.S. dollar have had, and will continue to have, an effect, which may be significant, on our reported financial results. A decline in the value of any of the foreign currencies in which we receive revenues, including the Euro, British Pound Sterling or Mexican Peso, against the U.S. dollar will tend to reduce our reported revenues and expenses, while an increase in the value of any such foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar will tend to increase our reported revenues and expenses. Variations in exchange rates could affect the comparability of our financial results between financial periods; however, since sales of Vacation Interests in our North American and Caribbean resorts, virtually all of which are to customers in the U.S. and Canada and are transacted in U.S. dollars, have historically accounted for more than 90% of our consolidated Vacation Interests sales revenue, and management and member services revenue is similarly concentrated, we do not expect the variations in exchange rates to have a material impact on financial results.

Table of Contents

For additional information on the potential impact of exchange rate fluctuations on our financial results, see "Part I Item 1A. Risk Factors—Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may affect our reported results of operations" in the 2014 Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Prior to the filing of our original Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer had concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and within the time frames specified in the SEC's rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In connection with their review of our second quarter 2016 financial statements, our independent registered public accounting firm, BDO USA, LLP, expressed the view that the Company may not have correctly applied the relative sales value inventory valuation model in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for 2014 and subsequent periods.

In connection with our review of this matter and subsequent determination that we needed to undertake the Restatement, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to the application of complex technical accounting standards to our accounting for Vacation Interests cost of sales (specifically with respect to accounting for the change related to our internal Vacation Interests inventory management strategy as discussed in Note 3). Solely as a result of the identification of this material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have now concluded that the design of our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

In connection with the Restatement, management has implemented a remediation plan to make the necessary corrections to our application of the relative sales value inventory valuation model to properly reflect the change related to our internal Vacation Interests inventory management strategy discussed in Note 3 as a change in accounting estimate. The corrected application of the model has been utilized, with appropriate review procedures in place, in addition to the creation of appropriate memoranda and documentation supporting management’s conclusions, in connection with the Restatement and the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. While we have taken these actions, the matter cannot be deemed to be remediated until application of the model is again reviewed in connection with our issuance of future financial statements.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as discussed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. For further information regarding the Restatement, see Note 3.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future

periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies and procedures.
