Note 19: Commitments and Contingencies

We have entered into certain arrangements with developers whereby we have committed to purchase vacation ownership units or other real estate at a future date to be marketed and sold under our Hilton Grand Vacations brand. As of March 31, 2020, we were committed to purchase approximately $473 million of inventory and land over a period of 11 years and $26 million of other commitments under the normal course of business. Additionally, we have committed to develop additional vacation ownership units at an existing resort in Japan. The actual amount and timing of the acquisitions is subject to change pursuant to the terms of the respective arrangements, which could also allow for cancellation in certain circumstances. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we did not make any purchases under our commitments. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we purchased $9 million as required under our commitments. As of March 31, 2020, our remaining obligation pursuant to these arrangements were expected to be incurred as follows:

Primarily relates to commitments related to information technology and brand licensing under the normal course of business.

 

We are involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business, some of which includes claims for substantial sums. Management has evaluated these legal matters and we believe that possible losses derived from an unfavorable outcome that is reasonably possible or remote is not reasonably estimable. While the actual results of claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we expect that the resolution of all pending or threatened claims and litigation as of March 31, 2020, will not materially affect our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
