Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

Note 10: Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we consolidated 11 variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The activities of these entities are limited primarily to purchasing qualifying non-recourse timeshare financing receivables from us and issuing debt securities and/or borrowing under a debt facility to facilitate such purchases. The timeshare financing receivables held by these entities are not available to our creditors and are not our legal assets, nor is the debt that is securitized through these entities a legal liability to us.

We have determined that we are the primary beneficiaries of all VIEs as we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect their economic performance. We are also the servicer of these timeshare financing receivables and we often replace or repurchase timeshare financing receivables that are in default at their outstanding principal amounts. Additionally, we have the obligation to absorb their losses and the right to receive benefits that could be significant to them. Only the assets of our VIEs are available to settle the obligations of the respective entities.

As part of the Diamond Acquisition, we acquired the variable interests in the entities associated with Diamond’s outstanding timeshare financing receivables securitization transactions and two conduit facilities. They have been aggregated for disclosure purposes as they are similar in nature to our previously established VIEs. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the conduit facilities had an outstanding balance of $125 million and $133 million, respectively.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets included the assets and liabilities of these entities, which primarily consisted of the following:
