MIAMI, March 11, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Interval Leisure Group (Nasdaq:IILG) ("ILG") today announced results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2008.
"ILG's fourth quarter results are indicative of the resiliency of the Interval International business model," said Craig M. Nash, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Interval Leisure Group. "The prepaid nature of the vacation ownership product encourages our members to take advantage of vacation exchange and other services provided by Interval. As a result, we delivered fourth quarter and full year revenue growth in this segment and ILG generated free cash flow of $90.3 million during 2008."
"The current economic climate, however, is adversely affecting the leisure industry in general and we're seeing the impact of this primarily on our Aston business and Interval's Getaways," continued Nash. "We have taken proactive steps to increase efficiencies across the Interval and Aston business segments that should position us to weather the current economic downturn and allow us to create value for shareholders."

Discussion of Results - Fourth Quarter 2008 Consolidated Operating Results
Consolidated revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008 was $89.9 million, a decrease of 2.4% from $92.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2007. The decline in revenue reflects the impact of overall macroeconomic conditions that negatively affected the leisure travel industry, and specifically the Aston business segment (formerly known as the RQH business segment). During the quarter, Interval revenue increased by 1.7% and Aston revenue declined by 19.9% year over year.
Given the weakening economic environment that impacted the fourth quarter results and affected the Company's internal forecasts, the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets related to the Aston and Interval segments was re-evaluated. As a result of the re-evaluation, ILG recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $34.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2008 to reduce the value of goodwill related to the Aston segment. This charge does not impact the Company's liquidity, cash position or debt covenants.
Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was $11.6 million, a decrease of $27.5 million from net income of $15.9 million for the same period of 2007. Net loss for the period includes pre-tax items of $34.3 million in a non-cash goodwill impairment charge, $1.3 million in incremental non-cash compensation expense and stand-alone and public company costs and $10.3 million of incremental interest expense attributable to the $450.0 million of indebtedness issued in connection with the spin-off from IAC/InterActiveCorp on August 20, 2008. Diluted loss per share was $0.21 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.28 for the same period of 2007.
Adjusted net income for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was $10.1 million or $0.18 of adjusted diluted EPS, compared to net income of $15.9 million or $0.28 of diluted EPS for the same period of 2007. Adjusted net income and adjusted EPS for the fourth quarter 2008 excludes the $20.9 million after-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the Aston business segment and $0.8 million after-tax incremental non-cash compensation expense and stand-alone and public company costs.
Adjusted EBITDA was $32.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, compared to EBITDA of $33.4 million for the same period of 2007. Adjusted EBITDA excludes $0.8 million in incremental stand-alone and public company costs for the quarter.
Interval's adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 increased 2.0% while Aston's adjusted EBITDA decreased 39.8%, from the comparable period in 2007.
Discussion of Results - Full Year 2008 Consolidated Operating Results
ILG's consolidated revenue for the full year 2008 was $409.8 million, an increase of 13.7%, or $49.4 million, over $360.4 million for the full year 2007. Consolidated revenue was comprised of 84.7% and 15.3% revenue from Interval and Aston, respectively, and included twelve months of revenue from Aston compared to seven months in 2007. Of the $49.4 million increase, Aston contributed $20.8 million or 5.8% of the increase, with the remaining 7.9% contributed by Interval.
Net income for the full year 2008 was $45.3 million, including pre-tax items of $34.3 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge, $7.8 million of incremental non-cash compensation expense and stand-alone and public company costs, and $15.6 million of incremental interest expense attributable to the spin-off in August 2008, resulting in a decrease of 36.3% from net income of $71.1 million for 2007. Diluted EPS was $0.80 compared to $1.26 for the full year 2007.
Adjusted net income for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $70.9 million or $1.26 of adjusted diluted EPS, compared to net income of $71.1 million or $1.26 of diluted EPS for 2007. Adjusted net income and adjusted EPS for 2008 excludes the $20.9 million after-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the Aston business segment and $4.7 million after-tax incremental non-cash compensation expense and stand-alone and public company costs.
Adjusted EBITDA was $157.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to EBITDA of $145.5 million for 2007. Adjusted EBITDA for 2008 excludes $2.6 million in incremental stand-alone and public company costs.
Adjusted EBITDA for 2008 increased $11.7 million, or 8.0% from 2007, of which Aston contributed $1.8 million of the increase. While Aston results in 2008 include twelve months compared to only seven months in 2007, adjusted EBITDA grew at a slower rate than revenue due primarily to the results of Aston, which were adversely impacted by macroeconomic conditions and reduced airlift into Hawaii primarily caused by two failed airlines.
Business Segment Results
Interval
ILG's principal operating segment, Interval, provides vacation ownership membership services to the individual members of its exchange networks, as well as related services to developers of vacation ownership resorts. As of December 31, 2008, over 2,400 resorts located in more than 75 countries participated in the Interval Network. The Interval segment consists of Interval International, Inc. and related subsidiaries.
Interval's revenue for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2008, was $75.9 million and $346.9 million, respectively, increasing 1.7% and 9.0% over the comparable periods in 2007.
For the full year 2008, membership fee and transaction revenue were $133.7 million and $185.8 million, respectively, representing an increase of 8.3% and 9.2% over the prior year.
Total active members at December 31, 2008 were approximately 1,998,000, an increase of 1.9% over total active members of approximately 1,961,000 at December 31, 2007. Average revenue per member for the year ended 2008 was $164.83, a 5.2% increase over average revenue per member of $156.75 for the year ended 2007.
Interval's adjusted EBITDA was $31.2 million and $147.7 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2008, respectively, representing an increase of 2.0% and 7.2% over the segment's EBITDA of $30.6 million and $137.8 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2007, respectively.
Throughout 2008, Interval continued to expand and strengthen its high-quality global vacation exchange network both by renewing strategic agreements with key clients, while signing new affiliations with developers of vacation ownership properties in domestic and international markets. In November 2008, the Company also significantly enhanced its presence in the important South African market with the addition of Southern Sun Hotel's Sunswop vacation ownership program, one of the largest programs of this nature in the country, effective February 1, 2009. Southern Sun, a leading hotel group in the region, joins Interval's cadre of high quality hospitality brands who participate in its international network.
Aston
The Aston segment consists of Aston Hotels & Resorts, LLC (formerly known as ResortQuest Hawaii, LLC) and Maui Condo and Home, LLC (formerly known as ResortQuest Real Estate of Hawaii, LLC). Aston provides management and/or sales and marketing services to 26 resorts and hotels, as well as other more limited management services to an additional 23 properties. Aston was acquired by ILG on May 31, 2007. Consequently, the 12-month period ended December 31, 2007, only includes results of operations for seven months.
Aston's revenue for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2008, was $14.0 million and $62.9 million, respectively, including $8.0 million and $34.3 million of Pass-through Revenue (defined below).
Aston's revenue increased 49.5%, or $20.8 million, for the full year 2008, including $11.5 million of Pass-through Revenue. Due to the acquisition of Aston on May 31, 2007, revenue in 2008 includes twelve months of revenue compared to seven months in 2007. Excluding the impact of the first five months of 2008, which totaled $29.2 million, Aston's revenue decreased approximately 20.0%.
The decrease in fee income earned by Aston from managed vacation properties was driven by a reduction in revenue per available room ("RevPAR"). RevPAR for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 was $96.35 compared to $117.26 for the same period in 2007. RevPAR for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $117.08 compared to $127.14 in 2007. Lower occupancy, and to a lesser extent, lower average daily rate led to the reduction in RevPAR which would have reduced fee income if the periods had been equivalent. Overall, 2008 occupancy rates were negatively impacted by the macroeconomic conditions and reduced airlift into Hawaii primarily caused by two failed airlines. Aston has been generally tracking the results of comparable properties in this market.
Aston reported adjusted EBITDA of $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, a decrease of 39.8% from EBITDA of $2.8 million in the prior year period. Aston's adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2008 was $9.5 million, compared to EBITDA of $7.7 million for the same period in 2007, which included seven months of results from the acquisition date.
As discussed above, the Company re-evaluated the carrying value of its goodwill and long-lived intangible assets related to its Interval and Aston segments. Based on this re-evaluation, Aston recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $34.3 million during the fourth quarter 2008.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
As of December 31, 2008, ILG's cash and cash equivalents totaled $120.3 million, compared to $67.1 million as of December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2008, the Company's total debt outstanding, which was incurred in connection with the spin-off, was $427.2 million, net of unamortized discount. There was no debt outstanding as of December 31, 2007.
For the full year 2008, ILG's capital expenditures totaled $13.6 million, or 3.3% of revenue, net cash provided by operating activities was $103.9 million and free cash flow (defined below) was $90.3 million.
Presentation of Financial Information
ILG management believes that the presentation of non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) financial measures, including, among others, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS and free cash flow, serves to enhance the understanding of ILG's performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to and not as substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, EBITDA (with certain additional add-backs) is used to calculate compliance with certain financial covenants in ILG's credit agreement. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures improve the transparency of our disclosures, provide meaningful presentations of our results from our business operations excluding the impact of certain items not related to our core business operations and improve the period to period comparability of results from business operations. These measures may also be useful in comparing our results to those of other companies, however our calculations may differ from the calculations of these measures used by other companies. More information about the non-GAAP financial measures, including reconciliations of GAAP results to the non-GAAP measures, is available in the financial tables that accompany this press release.
