Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation Reports Financial Results for First Quarter 2021

BOCA RATON, Fla.--()--Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation (NYSE: BVH) (OTCQX: BVHBB) ("BVH" or the “Company") reported today its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. As a result of the previously disclosed spin-off of BVH’s other businesses and investments on September 30, 2020 (which are now reported as discontinued operations), the sole investment of BVH is its ownership of Bluegreen Vacations Corporation (“Bluegreen”), a leading vacation ownership company that markets and sells vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) and manages resorts in popular leisure and urban destinations. Prior to May 5, 2021, BVH beneficially owned approximately 93% of Bluegreen’s outstanding common stock. On May 5, 2021, BVH acquired all of the approximately 7% of the outstanding shares of Bluegreen’s common stock not previously owned by BVH through a statutory short-form merger under Florida law.

Key Consolidated BVH Highlights as of and during the Quarter Ending March 31, 2021:
(Since the above-mentioned merger did not occur until May 5, 2021, the following financial results only reflects BVH’s ownership interest of an approximate 93% of Bluegreen.)

  • Net income from continuing operations of $5.5 million.
  • Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) from continuing operations of $0.15.
  • Total revenue of $146.4 million.
  • Bluegreen’s System-wide sales of vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) of $107.0 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations attributable to shareholders of $12.8 million.
  • Consolidated unrestricted cash of $199.2 million.
  • Total consolidated assets of $1.2 billion.
  • Total BVH shareholders’ equity of $190.9 million.
  • Fully diluted book value per share of $9.88. (1)

 (1) Fully diluted book value per share is BVH shareholders’ equity divided by the total number of shares of BVH’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2021.

“As we previously announced, the proposed short-form merger with Bluegreen Vacations Corporation was consummated on May 5, 2021. As a result of that merger, we believe BVH is now essentially a ‘pure play’ company in the timeshare space,” commented Alan B. Levan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation. “We believe that the merger will end confusion in the market as the Company will now report on 100% of Bluegreen’s results and will address the inefficiencies of having two public companies reporting on the same business.”

“We are encouraged by the overall improvements in the timeshare and leisure travel sectors during the first quarter of 2021. The vaccination rollouts and what we believe is greater optimism about the future appear to have had a positive impact on consumers and vacation travel. However, while we are mindful of the fact that the potential impact of the pandemic continues to be an issue, Bluegreen is continuing to focus on positioning the Company for growth and providing its owners with a safe and well-deserved vacation experience.”

“With that said, we are pleased with the performance and results delivered by Bluegreen during what appears to be the initial stage of the economic recovery. We are continuing to move forward with our previously announced ‘Bluegreen Renewal’ initiative, a company-wide effort to revitalize sales and revenue growth, combined with our expanding marketing alliances. Under the leadership of the consolidated sales organization, we sold 49,000 vacation packages in the first quarter of 2021, compared to 43,000 in the first quarter of 2020.

“We are also pleased with the expansion of our marketing activity into Cabela’s retail stores, where we opened seven new marketing kiosks during the first quarter of 2021. As of March 31, 2021, the total number of marketing kiosks at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s stores had increased to 105, up from 98 at December 31, 2020 and 89 at March 31, 2020. We believe we are on track to achieve our previously stated goal of having at least a combined 120 Bass Pro and Cabela’s marketing kiosks by year-end 2021.

“With regards to travel, we are encouraged by the enthusiasm of our owners to travel to our resorts. All of our resorts are open, and the overall average occupancy rates were approximately 70% at resorts with sales centers during the first quarter of 2021. The demand for resort stays from Bluegreen Vacation Club Owners has steadily improved and we believe our core strategy of primarily offering a ‘drive-to’ network of resorts has facilitated occupancy during the pandemic reopening. We are optimistic that this model will continue to serve as a growth driver.

“While unscientific, pent up demand, optimistic consumer sentiment, and additional positive market trends appear to be the controlling drivers of a broad wave through the recovery roll-out. We believe these market fundamentals benefit Bluegreen greatly and we are optimistic of productive improvements in VOI sales and vacation package sales going forward. In closing, we are continuing to focus on our ‘Bluegreen Renewal’ initiative, our pro-recovery efforts, and expanding our marketing alliances. We believe that this focus, combined with market and consumer sentiments, will continue to grow and drive sales and revenue growth to pre-pandemic levels and beyond as the economy and markets migrate upwards towards pre-COVID levels.” Levan concluded.

(1) During the last week of March 2020, Bluegreen temporarily closed all of its VOI sales centers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. All were reopened in 2020 with the exception of two sales centers that were consolidated and one that has not reopened.

System-wide sales of VOIs were $107.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. System-wide sales of VOIs depend on the number of guests who attend a timeshare sales presentation (a “guest tour”). The number of guest tours reflects the number of existing owner guests Bluegreen has staying at a resort with a sales center and the number of new guest arrivals who each agree to attend a sales presentation. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Bluegreen’s decision to temporarily cease marketing activities beginning in March 2020 and the resulting decrease in the vacation package pipeline, the number of guests and owners who traveled in the first quarter of 2021 was significantly lower than its experience prior to the pandemic. And while there is no assurance that this trend will continue during the latter part of the first quarter of 2021, Bluegreen experienced an increase in tours and the gap compared to pre-pandemic levels decreased, especially with respect to existing owners. The sales mix for the first quarter of 2021 was heavily weighted toward sales to existing owners at 64% of system-wide sales of VOIs.

Bluegreen’s Fee-based sales commission revenue

Fee-based sales commission revenue was $25.7 million, approximately 66% of third-party VOI sales during the 2021 first quarter. Third-party VOI sales were 36% of system-wide sales during the quarter, which was lower than is typical due to a decrease in new guest tours as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed above. Bluegreen anticipates that third-party VOI sales will range between 30%-35% of system-wide sales during the remainder of 2021.

(1) During the last week of March 2020, Bluegreen temporarily closed all of its marketing operations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

(2) Excludes vacation packages sold to customers more than one year prior to the period presented and vacation packages sold to customers who had already toured but purchased an additional vacation package.

Selling and marketing expenses were 54% of system-wide sales of VOIs during the 2021 first quarter as compared to 55% during the prior year quarter. During the first quarter of 2021, Bluegreen continued to expand its marketing and selling of mini-vacation packages by opening marketing kiosks in 7 additional Cabela’s locations and began to experience increased call transfer activity through its program with Choice Hotels, albeit still below the pre-pandemic level.

These and other mini-vacation marketing programs resulted in the sale of over 49,000 vacation packages during the first quarter of 2021. This increase reflects an increase of 52% in vacation package sales through the Bass Pro/Cabela’s channel and growth in packages sold through other face-to-face venues, partially offset by lower vacation package sales through the Choice program and other programs that were reduced or terminated. The active pipeline of frontline vacation packages increased to 132,142 at March 31, 2021 from 121,915 at December 31, 2020, based on new vacation package sales during the quarter and net of vacation packages used or expired. Historically, approximately 44% of vacation packages resulted in a timeshare tour at one of Bluegreen’s resorts with a sales center within twelve months of purchase. In addition to the active pipeline discussed above, Bluegreen also has a pipeline of 15,200 vacation packages from customers who have already toured but purchased an additional vacation package and over 100,000 vacation packages that were purchased over 12 months prior to March 31, 2021. Bluegreen has several programs in place to attempt to reactivate those vacation packages to promote future travel and in turn potential future VOI sales.

Bluegreen’s Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses varies based on the amount of financed, non fee-based sales during the period and changes in our estimates of future notes receivable performance for existing and newly originated loans. The provision for loan losses as a percentage of gross sales of VOIs was 18% during the first quarter of 2021. The 2020 period included a charge of $12.0 million related to an increase in the provision for loan loss related the COVID-19 pandemic. The provision for new loans on VOIs generated during the first quarter of 2021 was 24%, which was consistent with the prior year quarter.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a material adverse impact on unemployment in the United States and economic conditions in general and the ongoing impact continues to be uncertain. Bluegreen believes that the COVID-19 pandemic will have less of an impact on the collectability of its VOI notes receivable going forward; however, there is no assurance that the allowance for loan losses will prove to be adequate.

Bluegreen’s Financing Revenue, net of Financing Expense

Interest income on VOI notes receivable decreased 5.1% to $19.1 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020, primarily associated with lower notes receivable balances because of lower VOI sales reflecting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Interest expense on receivable-backed notes payable decreased 10.7% to $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to lower outstanding receivable-backed debt balances and a lower weighted-average cost of borrowings due to lower market interest rates.

In the first quarter of 2021, resort operations and management club revenue decreased by $2.5 million, or 5.4%, to $43.2 million from $45.7 million in the prior year quarter, due to a decrease in cost reimbursement revenue, which does not impact segment adjusted EBITDA. Net of cost reimbursement revenue, resort operations and club management revenues remained consistent between periods. However, segment adjusted EBITDA increased 17% to $18.2 million in the first quarter of 2021 from $15.6 million in the comparable prior year period, driven primarily by lower costs incurred during the first quarter of 2021 reflecting the steps taken to reduce costs in the first quarter of 2020.

The Company defines EBITDA as earnings, or net income, before taking into account interest income (excluding interest earned on VOI notes receivable), interest expense (excluding interest expense incurred on debt secured by Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable), income and franchise taxes and depreciation and amortization. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as its EBITDA, adjusted to exclude amounts of loss (gain) on assets held for sale, and other items that the Company believes is not representative of ongoing operating results. Accordingly, the Company excludes certain items such as severance charges net of employee retention tax credits and incremental costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders as Adjusted EBITDA excluding amounts attributable to the non-controlling interest in Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations (in which Bluegreen owns a 51% interest) and Bluegreen (in which it owns a 93% interest). For purposes of the EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders calculations for each period presented, no adjustments were made for interest income earned on Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable or the interest expense incurred on debt that is secured by such notes receivable because they are both considered to be part of the ordinary operations of Bluegreen’s business.

The Company considers EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders to be indicators of its operating performance, and they are used by the Company to measure its ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand its business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by companies, lenders, investors, and others because they exclude certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders also exclude depreciation and amortization because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity, including cash flow, derived in accordance with GAAP, or to any other method or analyzing the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. The limitations of using EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders as an analytical tool include, without limitation, that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders do not reflect (i) changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs; (ii) the Company’s interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on its indebtedness (other than as noted above); (iii) the Company’s tax expense or the cash requirements to pay its taxes; (iv) historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; or (v) the effect on earnings or changes resulting from matters that the Company considers not to be indicative of its future operations or performance. Further, although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. In addition, the Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders may not be comparable to definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders or other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Due to the volatility of results during the periods as a result of the varying impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company and Bluegreen have provided information for the first quarters of 2021, 2020 and 2019.

 (1) System-wide Sales of VOIs is a non-GAAP measure and represents all sales of VOIs, whether owned by Bluegreen or a third party immediately prior to the sale. Sales of VOIs owned by third parties are transacted as sales of VOIs in the Bluegreen Vacation Club through the same selling and marketing process it uses to sell its VOI inventory. Bluegreen considers system-wide sales of VOIs to be an important operating measure because it reflects all sales of VOIs by its sales and marketing operations without regard to whether Bluegreen or a third party owned such VOI inventory at the time of sale. System-wide sales of VOIs should not be considered as an alternative to sales of VOIs or any other measure of financial performance derived in accordance with GAAP or to any other method of analyzing results as reported under GAAP.
