ACQUISITIONS ACQUISITIONS
Bluegreen Acquisition
On January 17, 2024, we completed the Bluegreen Acquisition in an all-cash transaction, with total consideration of approximately $1.6 billion. The Bluegreen Acquisition is expected to broaden HGV’s offerings, customer reach and sales locations. Costs related to the Bluegreen Acquisition for three months ended March 31, 2024 were $100 million, which were expensed as incurred, and reflected as Acquisition and integration-related expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The following table presents the preliminary fair value of each class of consideration transferred in relation to the Bluegreen Acquisition as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date:

Preliminary Fair Values of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
We accounted for the Bluegreen Acquisition as a business combination, which requires us to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date. The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest, which are presented in the table below, and the related preliminary acquisition accounting are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as information compiled by management, including the books and records of Bluegreen. Our estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the Bluegreen Acquisition Date. The magnitude of the Bluegreen Acquisition could necessitate the need to use the full one-year measurement period to adequately analyze and assess a number of the factors used in establishing the asset, liability and noncontrolling interest fair values as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date. The final values may also result in changes to amortization expense related to intangible assets and depreciation expense related to property and equipment, among other changes. Any potential adjustments made could be material in relation to the values presented in the table below.
As discussed more fully below, the primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized include the following: (1) finalizing the review and valuation of acquired intangible assets (including key assumptions, inputs and estimates) and assigning the useful lives to such assets; (2) finalizing the review and valuation of acquired inventory, property and equipment (including key assumptions, inputs and estimates) and assigning the remaining useful lives to the depreciable assets; (3) finalizing the review and valuation of acquired timeshare financing receivables (including key assumptions, inputs and estimates); (4) finalizing the valuation of certain in-place contracts or contractual relationships (including but not limited to leases), including determining the appropriate amortization periods; (5) finalizing the review and valuation of other acquired assets, assumed liabilities, and noncontrolling interest, including debt assumed; and (6) finalizing our estimate of the impact of purchase accounting on deferred income tax liabilities.

Timeshare Financing Receivables
We acquired timeshare financing receivables, net which consist of loans to customers who purchased vacation ownership products and chose to finance their purchases. These timeshare financing receivables, net are collateralized by the underlying VOIs and generally have 10-year amortizing repayment terms. We preliminarily 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. We are continuing to evaluate the significant assumptions underlying the discounted cash flow model including default, severity and prepayment assumptions, which could result in changes to our preliminary estimate. We have determined that the entire acquired timeshare financing receivables portfolio shows evidence of more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. See Note 6: Timeshare Financing Receivables, net for additional information.
Acquired timeshare financing receivables with credit deterioration as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date were as follows:

Inventory
We acquired inventory which primarily consists of completed unsold VOIs. We preliminarily estimated the fair value of 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. We are continuing to assess the market assumptions and property conditions, which could result in changes to these preliminary values.
Property and Equipment
We acquired property and equipment, which includes land, buildings and improvements, leasehold improvements, computer hardware and software, furniture, fixtures, and office equipment, machinery and equipment, vehicles, construction in progress, and other assets. For our preliminary analysis, we estimated the fair value of the property and equipment using a mix of cost and market approaches. In determining the fair value using the cost approach, we estimated the reproduction cost new by applying BLS trending indices to the historical capitalized costs within the fixed asset details. We also relied on the market approach to determine the fair value of certain assets. In applying the market approach to value, we relied on the Percent of Cost Method. In addition, certain property and equipment assets were held at their carrying value, which is our best estimate of fair value at this time given the information available. We are continuing to assess the market assumptions and property conditions, which could result in changes to these preliminary values.
Operating Lease Right-of-Use-Assets and Lease Liabilities
We have recorded a preliminary estimate of the liability for those operating leases assumed in connection with the Bluegreen Acquisition with a remaining term in excess of one year. We measured the lease liabilities assumed at the present value of the remaining contractual lease payments based on the guidance in ASC 842 discounted at an incremental borrowing rate applicable to HGV determined as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date. The right-of-use assets for such leases were measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted for the favorable or unfavorable leasehold position considering the contractual terms of the lease when compared with market terms. A small number of operating lease right of use assets and lease liabilities were preliminarily estimated at carrying value. Additionally, any equipment lease was held at carrying value. We continue to assess the market assumptions, which could result in changes to our preliminary estimate.
Intangible Assets

We preliminarily estimated the fair value of Bluegreen's trade name using the relief-from-royalty method, which applies an estimated royalty rate to forecasted future cash flows, discounted to present value. We provisionally estimated the value of management contracts and member relationships 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. The marketing agreements were valued using the with‑and‑without method of the income approach. Under this method, the value of an asset is a function of the differential of projected cash flows with the asset in place and the projected cash flows without the asset in place, discounted to present value. We continue to review Bluegreen's contracts and historical performance in addition to evaluating the assumptions impacting the estimated values of such intangible assets and their respective useful lives, including the discount rate applied to the estimated cash flows and renewal and growth estimates and expected margins, which could result in changes to these preliminary values.
Debt
As part of the acquisition and consideration transferred, we paid off $265 million of Bluegreen’s existing corporate debt and accrued interest. We preliminarily estimated the fair value of the remaining assumed debt using a discounted cash flow model under the income approach. We are continuing to evaluate the significant assumptions underlying the discounted cash flow model, which could result in changes to our preliminary estimate.
Non-Recourse Debt
We preliminarily estimated the fair value of the securitized debt 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. We are continuing to evaluate the significant assumptions underlying the discounted cash flow model including default and prepayment assumptions, which could result in changes to our preliminary estimate.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue primarily relates to deferred sales incentives revenues, primarily 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. We preliminarily estimated the fair value of the deferred revenue at the carrying value of such liabilities as of the Bluegreen Acquisition Date. We continue to review Bluegreen’s contracts, which could result in changes to the preliminary estimate.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes primarily relate to the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired from Bluegreen, including timeshare financing receivables, inventory, property and equipment, intangible assets, and debt. We preliminarily estimated deferred income taxes based on the blended U.S. federal and state statutory tax rate which approximates to 25%. Within the measurement period, we will continue to assess the tax rates used, and we will update our estimate of deferred income taxes based on changes to our preliminary valuations of the related assets and liabilities and refinement of the effective tax rates, which could result in changes to these preliminary values.
Noncontrolling Interest
The acquired noncontrolling interest relates to Big Cedar Vacations, LLC, a joint venture in which we are deemed to hold a controlling financial interest based on our 51% equity interest, its active role as the day-to-day manager of its activities, and our majority voting control of its management committee. We preliminarily estimated the fair value of the noncontrolling interest using a discounted cash flow model under the income approach. We continue to assess the market assumptions, which could result in changes to our preliminary estimate.
Goodwill
We have recorded a preliminary estimate of $523 of goodwill in connection with the Bluegreen Acquisition. 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. Our allocations may change throughout the measurement period as we continue to finalize the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Bluegreen Acquisition. The majority of goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

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 cash consideration, as well as $4 million of non-cash consideration attributable to the effective settlement of a pre-existing relationship based on the contract value.
As of March 31, 2024, 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, $53 million of unsecuritized timeshare financing receivables, net, $199 million of securitized timeshare financing receivables, net, $15 million of inventory, and $2 million of other assets. Of the securitized timeshare financing receivables acquired, $128 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 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.
The timeshare financing receivables acquired were considered PCD assets. The following table presents the acquired assets with credit deterioration as of the Grand Islander Acquisition Date:

Goodwill of $4 million is calculated as total consideration transferred less net assets acquired. The measurement period adjustments recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 resulted from changes to our estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on updated preliminary valuations of acquired timeshare financing receivables and inventory. These resulted in an increase to goodwill for the period of $2 million. We have allocated the acquired goodwill of $4 million to our Real Estate Sales and Financing segment. Our allocations may change throughout the measurement period as we continue to finalize the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Grand Islander Acquisition. 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.
