ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

3. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

Acquisitions

Savannah, Georgia

During the third quarter of 2023, we acquired property in Savannah, Georgia for $19 million. We plan to convert the property into a 73-unit vacation ownership property. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition and was recorded in Property and equipment, net.

Charleston, South Carolina

During the first quarter of 2023, we acquired a parcel of land and an adjacent retail space in Charleston, South Carolina for $17 million. We plan to develop the parcel of land into a 50-unit vacation ownership property and use a portion of the retail space to operate a sales center. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition and was recorded in Property and equipment, net.

Bali

During the first quarter of 2022, we acquired 88 completed vacation ownership units, as well as a sales center, located in Bali, Indonesia for $36 million. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition and the purchase price was allocated to Property and equipment, net. As consideration for the acquisition, we paid $12 million in cash and issued a non-interest bearing note payable for $11 million, of which $6 million was repaid in the first quarter of 2023. Further, during the first quarter of 2022, we reclassified $13 million of previous deposits associated with the project from Other assets to Property and equipment, net.

Dispositions

As part of the ILG Acquisition, we acquired the Vacation Resorts International (“VRI”) and Trading Places International (“TPI”) businesses (together, the “VRI Americas” business), which was part of our Exchange & Third-Party Management segment prior to our disposal of VRI Americas during the second quarter of 2022, as discussed below.

During the second quarter of 2022, we disposed of VRI Americas for proceeds of $56 million, net of cash and restricted cash transferred to the buyer of $12 million, after determining that this business was not a core component of our future growth strategy and operating model. The results of VRI Americas are included in our Exchange and Third-Party Management segment through the date of the sale. The net carrying value of VRI Americas as of the date of the disposition was $51 million, including $25 million of goodwill and $20 million of intangible assets. As a result of the disposition, we recorded a gain of $1 million and $17 million in Gains (losses) and other income (expense), net on our Income Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Additionally, during the second quarter of 2022, we disposed of entities that owned and operated a Vacation Ownership segment hotel in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, for proceeds of $38 million, net of cash and restricted cash transferred to the buyer of $3 million, consistent with our strategy to dispose of non-strategic assets. The net carrying value of the business disposed of as of the date of the disposition, excluding the cumulative translation adjustment, was $18 million, substantially all of which was for property and equipment. As a result of this disposition, we recorded a gain of $33 million in Gains (losses) and other income (expense), net on our Income Statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which included the realization of cumulative foreign currency translation gains of $10 million associated with the disposition of these entities.
