As of September 30,2019 and December 31, 2018, we consolidated 5 and 4 variable interest entities (“VIEs”), respectively, that issued non-recourse debt backed by pledged assets consisting primarily of a pool of timeshare financing receivables which is without recourse to us. We are the primary beneficiaries of these 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 are required to 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.

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

	September 30,		December 31,
($ in millions)	2019		2018
Restricted cash	$	49	$	23
Timeshare financing receivables, net		735		617
Non-recourse debt⁽¹⁾		795		639

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we did not provide any financial or other support to any VIEs that we were not previously contractually required to provide, nor do we intend to provide such support in the future.
