Organization and Basis of Presentation

Our Business

Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (“Hilton Grand Vacations,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “HGV” or the “Company”) is a global timeshare company engaged in developing, marketing, selling and managing timeshare resorts, primarily under the Hilton Grand Vacations brand. During 2021, we acquired Dakota Holdings, Inc., the parent of Diamond Resorts International (the "Diamond Acquisition"), and are in the process of rebranding Diamond properties and sales centers to brands that meet Hilton standards. Our operations primarily consist of selling vacation ownership intervals and vacation ownership interests (collectively, “VOIs” or “VOI”) for ourselves and third parties; financing and servicing loans provided to consumers for their VOI purchases; operating resorts and multi-resort trusts; and managing our points-based Hilton Grand Vacations Club and Hilton Club exchange program (collectively the “Legacy-HGV Club”) in addition to our Diamond points-based clubs (the Legacy-HGV Club and Diamond Clubs (as defined below) are collectively referred to as “Clubs”).

As of June 30, 2022, we had 154 properties located in the United States (“U.S.”), Europe, Mexico, the Caribbean, Canada and Japan. A significant number of our properties and VOIs are concentrated in Florida, Nevada, Hawaii, Europe, California, Virginia and Arizona.

Diamond Acquisition

On August 2, 2021, we completed the Diamond Acquisition by exchanging 100 percent of the outstanding equity interests of Diamond for shares of HGV common stock. Pre-existing HGV shareholders owned approximately 72 percent of the combined company immediately after giving effect of the Diamond Acquisition, with certain funds controlled by Apollo Global Management Inc. (the "Apollo Funds" or, "Apollo") and other minority shareholders, who previously owned 100 percent of Diamond, holding the remaining, approximately 28 percent at the time the Diamond Acquisition was completed.

Diamond also operates in the hospitality and VOI industry, with a worldwide resort network of global vacation destinations. Diamond’s portfolio consists of resort properties that we manage, are included in one of Diamond's single- and multi-use trusts (collectively, the "Diamond Collections" or "Collections"), or are Diamond branded resorts in which we own inventory, as well as affiliated resorts and hotels, which we do not manage, and which do not carry the Diamond brand but are a part of Diamond's network and, through THE Club® and other Club offerings (the “Diamond Clubs”), are available for its members to use as vacation destinations.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this report include Diamond’s results of operations beginning on August 2, 2021. We refer to Diamond's business and operations that we acquired as "Legacy-Diamond", and our business and operations that existed both prior to and following the Diamond Acquisition as "Legacy-HGV." See Note 3: Diamond Acquisition for more information.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include 100 percent of our assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows as well as all entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Although we believe the disclosures made are adequate to prevent information presented from being misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and, accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance.The determination of a controlling financial interest is based upon the terms of the governing agreements of the respective entities, including the evaluation of rights held by other interests. If the entity is considered to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”), we determine whether we are the primary beneficiary, and then consolidate those VIEs for which we have determined we are the primary beneficiary. If the entity in which we hold an interest does not meet the definition of a VIE, we evaluate whether we have a controlling financial interest through our voting interests in the entity. We consolidate entities when we own more than 50 percent of the voting shares of a company or otherwise have a controlling financial interest. The consolidated financial statements reflect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
