Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]  
ACQUISITIONS ACQUISITIONS
Diamond Acquisition
On August 2, 2021, we completed the Diamond Acquisition by exchanging 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Diamond to HGV common shares. Shareholders of Diamond received 0.32 shares of our common stock for each share of Diamond common stock. Following the closing of the Diamond Acquisition, pre-existing HGV shareholders owned approximately 72% of the combined company after giving effect to the Diamond Acquisition, with Apollo and other minority shareholders holding the remaining approximately 28% at the time the Diamond Acquisition was completed.
Additionally, in connection with the Diamond Acquisition, HGV repaid certain existing indebtedness of Diamond. Costs related to the acquisition for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were $51 million, $67 million, and $106 million, respectively, which were expensed as incurred, and reflected as Acquisition and integration-related expense in our consolidated statements of operations.
The following table presents the fair value of each class of consideration transferred in relation to the Diamond Acquisition at the Diamond Acquisition Date:

Fair Values of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
We accounted for the Diamond Acquisition as a business combination, which required us to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the Diamond Acquisition Date. The following table presents the fair values of the assets that we acquired and the liabilities that we assumed, as finalized:

(1)Goodwill is calculated as total consideration transferred less net assets acquired and it primarily represents the value that we expect to obtain from synergies and growth opportunities from our combined Company post-acquisition. The majority of goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Our estimates and assumptions were subject to adjustments during the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the Diamond Acquisition Date. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized a net adjustment to goodwill of $39 million, net of impacts of tax adjustments. The adjustments resulted from changes to our estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on finalizing the valuations of acquired property and equipment, accounts receivable, operating lease right-of-use asset and related lease liabilities, capitalized software and insurance receivables given the ultimate determination of proceeds related to preacquisition business interruption insurance claims as well as deferred income tax liabilities.
The net income effects associated with the measurement period adjustments recorded during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 are considered immaterial.
Timeshare Financing Receivables
We acquired timeshare financing receivables which consist of loans to customers who purchased vacation ownership products and chose to finance their purchases. These timeshare financing receivables are collateralized by the underlying VOIs and generally have 10-year amortizing repayment terms. We estimated the fair value of the timeshare financing receivables using a discounted cash flow model, which calculated a present value of expected future risk-adjusted cash flows over the remaining term of the respective timeshare financing receivables. For purposes of our fair value allocation, we have considered all acquired receivables to be purchase credit deteriorated assets. See Note 7: Timeshare Financing Receivables for additional information.
Acquired timeshare financing receivables with credit deterioration as of the Diamond Acquisition Date were as follows:

Purchase price$825 
Allowance for credit losses512 
Premium attributable to other factors(97)
Par value$1,240 
Inventory
We acquired inventory which primarily consists of completed unsold VOIs. We valued acquired inventory using a discounted cash flows method, which included an estimate of cash flows expected to be generated from the sale of VOIs. Significant estimates and assumptions impacting the fair value of the acquired inventory that are subjective and/or require complex judgments include our estimates of operating costs and margins, and the discount rate. Certain other estimates and assumptions impacting the fair value of the acquired inventory involving less subjective and/or less complex judgments include: short-term and long-term revenue growth rates, capital expenditures, tax rates and other factors impacting the discounted cash flows.
Property and Equipment
We acquired property and equipment, which includes land, building and leasehold improvements, furniture and equipment and construction in progress. We valued the majority of acquired property and equipment using a mix of cost, market and discounted cash flow approaches, which included estimates of future income growth, capitalization rates, discount rates, and capital expenditure needs of the resorts.
Intangible Assets
The following table presents our fair values of the acquired identified intangible assets and their related remaining useful lives.

Trade name$18 1.5
Management contracts1,251 35.4
Club member relationships139 14.4
Computer software21 1.5
Total intangible assets$1,429 
We valued the acquired trade name intangible using the relief-from-royalty method, which applies an estimated royalty rate to forecasted future cash flows, discounted to present value. We valued the acquired management contracts intangible and club member relationships intangible using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a variation of the income approach. This method estimates an intangible asset’s value based on the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to the intangible asset. Significant estimates and assumptions impacting the fair value of the acquired management contracts intangible that are subjective and/or require complex judgments include our estimates of operating costs and margins, and the discount rate. Certain other estimates and assumptions impacting the fair value of the
acquired management contracts intangible involving less subjective and/or less complex judgments include: short-term and long-term revenue growth rates, attrition rates, capital expenditures, tax rates and other factors impacting the discounted cash flows.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue primarily relates to deferred sales incentives revenues, mainly related to Bonus Points, which are deferred and recognized upon redemption; and Club membership fees, which are deferred and recognized over the terms of the applicable contract term or membership on a straight-line basis. Additionally, deferred revenue includes maintenance fees collected from owners, in certain cases, which are earned by the relevant property owners’ association over the applicable period.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes primarily relate to the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired from Diamond, including timeshare financing receivables, inventory, property and equipment, intangible assets, and debt. We calculated deferred income taxes based on statutory rates in the jurisdictions of the legal entities where the acquired assets and liabilities are recorded.
Debt
As part of the acquisition and consideration transferred, we paid off $2,029 million of Diamond’s existing corporate debt, accrued interest and early termination penalties.
Non-Recourse Debt
We valued the securitized debt from VIEs and warehouse loan facilities, using a discounted cash flow model under the income approach. The significant assumptions in our analysis include default rates, prepayment rates, bond interest rates and other structural factors.
Operating Lease Right-of-Use-Assets and Lease Liabilities
We have recorded liabilities for those operating leases assumed in connection with the Diamond Acquisition with a remaining term in excess of a year. We valued lease liabilities at the present value of the remaining contractual lease payments based on the guidance in ASC 842 and used a discount rate determined as of the Diamond Acquisition Date. The right-of-use assets for such leases were measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted for favorable or unfavorable terms of the lease when compared with market terms.
Goodwill
We have allocated the acquired goodwill to our segments, Real Estate Sales and Financing and Resort Operations and Club Management, as indicated in the table below.

Grand Islander Acquisition
On December 1, 2023 (“Grand Islander Acquisition Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of BRE Grand Islander Parent LLC (“Grand Islander”), by exchanging 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Grand Islander for approximately $117 million (the “Grand Islander Acquisition”). Prior to the acquisition, we managed the resort property in Hawaii owned by Grand Islander. The acquisition expands our product offerings and provides existing members upgrade opportunities to locations outside of the prior Fee-for-service arrangement. The purchase price of $117 million included 110 million in cash consideration, $4 million of non-cash consideration attributable to the effective settlement of a pre-existing relationship based on the contract value, and the remaining $3 million was accrued for within Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other as of December 31, 2023.
The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired includes $8 million of cash and cash equivalents, $28 million of restricted cash, $5 million of accounts receivable, $52 million of securitized timeshare financing receivables, net, $199 million of unsecuritized timeshare financing receivables, net, $18 million of inventory, and $2 million of other assets. Of the unsecuritized timeshare financing receivables acquired, $127 million is used as collateral to secure a non-recourse revolving timeshare receivable credit facility (“Grand Islander Timeshare Facility”). The preliminary fair values of the liabilities assumed consist of $193 million of non-recourse debt and $4 million of other liabilities.
The estimated fair values of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed and the related preliminary acquisition accounting are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management. We preliminarily estimated the fair value of the timeshare financing receivables and inventory using a discounted cash flow model, which calculated a present value of expected future risk-adjusted cash flows over the remaining term of the respective timeshare financing receivable and the sell-out period of the inventory, respectively. For non-recourse debt we estimated the fair value using recent recent trades of the debt, using adjustments to recent trades of similar debt or the settlement amounts for debt that was repaid in close proximity to the Grand Islander Acquisition Date.
Timeshare Financing Receivables
The timeshare financing receivables acquired are considered purchased credit deteriorated assets. The following table presents the acquired assets with credit deterioration as of the Grand Islander Acquisition Date:

Goodwill of $2 million is calculated as total consideration transferred less net assets acquired. Such amount of goodwill is de minimis to our reporting units or to our reportable segments as of December 31, 2023. The majority of goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. All amounts recorded, including those based on estimates and assumptions, are subject to change during the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the Grand Islander Acquisition Date, as defined by Topic 805. Acquisition and integration-related expense related to this transaction were de minimis for the year ended December 31, 2023.
